How to Check Your Motherboard Brand and Find the Correct RGB Software

If you would like to control or customize your PC’s RGB lighting, the first step is to identify the motherboard brand and model, since each manufacturer uses its own lighting control software.

You can do this in several ways:

Option 1: Using System Information (No installation required)

1. Press Windows + R on your keyboard.

2. Type msinfo32 and press Enter.

3. In the System Information window, look for the line BaseBoard Manufacturer and BaseBoard Product.

   • Example:

     • BaseBoard Manufacturer: ASUS

     • BaseBoard Product: TUF B550-PLUS

Option 2: Using Command Prompt

1. Press Windows + R, type cmd, and press Enter.

2. Type the following command and press Enter:

3. The result will show the motherboard manufacturer and model.

Option 3: Using Third-Party Software (for more details)
You can also download CPU-Z (free software).

1. Go to https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

2. Install and open CPU-Z.

3. Click the Mainboard tab to see your motherboard Manufacturer and Model.

Step 2: Download the Correct RGB Control Software

Once you know your motherboard brand, download the official RGB software from the manufacturer’s website:

Step 3: Install and Use the Software

1. Download and install the software that matches your motherboard brand.

2. Restart your PC if prompted.

3. Open the software and you should be able to:

   • Change lighting colors and effects

   • Sync lighting with other compatible devices (RAM, GPU, fans, etc.)

Tips:

• If the lighting doesn’t respond, make sure RGB headers are connected properly to the motherboard.

• Some prebuilt systems may use third-party lighting controllers (like Cooler Master, DeepCool, or Lian Li), in which case you’ll need their specific software.
