For quite some time now, having RGB lights on a tower computer has been equivalent to PC Gaming. The reality is very different, since it is its internal components that define that our system is prepared to run the latest games on the market. Be that as it may, having a good controller that allows you to control this type of lighting on your computer becomes essential, luckily there are products like this Amber 8 Pro by Gelid.
It is common for both the RGB solutions and the control of the PC fans to come already integrated into one of the components of our PC. However, it is much better if there is a specialized device that allows us to control them manually without having to rely on any application or program. More than anything due to the fact that many brands associate these lighting systems with their specific applications. In the case of Gelid’s Amber 8 Pro, we have full compatibility with ARGB systems from brands such as ASUS, ASRock or MSI, among others.
Gelid Amber 8 Pro
The premise of this small device is that we can cControl the speed of the fans of our PCas well as RGB lighting of it remotely through a simple remote control. At first glance it may give you the feeling that it is an external device, but you only need to take a deeper look to see that it is not.
As you can see in the image above there is not a single USB connector, this is because the Amber 8 Pro plugs into one of the SATA power ports that’s on the motherboard to run, though it can take up to 85W of power to run. we can connect you up to 8 different fans of the 4-pin PWM type and then others 10 ARGB devices, functionality that is processed through a 3-pin ARGB connection. How many LEDs can it support? Up to 120 of them independently. And if you’re afraid of it falling off the plate, don’t worry, as it comes with magnets to hold it firmly to the plate.
The RGB modes that we can access are pre-recorded, however, there are as many as there are days in a year, since there are 366 of them in memory. How to access them? through the 21-button remote that is integrated and that communicates via radio frequency with the main unit of the Amber 8 Pro by Gelid. Also, it can be used to control the speed at which the fans run manually.
What is its price and when will it be available?
Well, Gelid sells it for 22 euros, a relatively low price and we shouldn’t wait long to find it in stores. It is a solution that will allow you to dispense with applications, since at critical moments these can fail. We can even come across situations where the computer is performing very light tasks and we find that the fans make too much noise for it.
