so a lot of you are looking at or maybe already bought the evga geforce rtx
3090 ftw 3 ultra gaming video card and you may have noticed there's some rgb lighting on it
it's kind of hard not to be able to see that it's there but a lot of you have been asking me how do
i control it don't worry in this video i'm going to show you how to control all the lighting on the
evga geforce rtx 3090 ftw3 ultra as well as using the fan header and the argb header so let's check
it out before we get into that make sure to click like and subscribe all the subscriptions and the
likes really does help to get the word out about this fight for you that way we can grow and i can
bring you bigger and better product reviews and how-to guides alright so now we're in front of the
card you can see the lighting over here and i also have a fan connected to the air gb header and the
four pin header here on the side of the card just pretty cool that that comes included in the card
but i'm going to show you how to control all of that now right now when you connect a fan you see
that the light is matching this over here and the fan isn't on that's because these fans these fans
aren't on right now either or else my finger would have come right off or there would have been blood
splattered all over here but anyway so on your computer we're going to go to evga.com like right
up here then we're going to go under services then we're going going to go under evga software
and then we're going to go ahead and download precision x1 and download now the reason i'm going
so basic and so bare as to show you how to install it and we're going to download the standalone for
the 30 series as well now the reason i'm doing this is because there is a firmware update that
happens when you install this as of right now 927 or depending on what part of the world you're in
27 9 20 20 right out of the box the middle fan speeds up a little bit faster
than it should so it gets a little bit louder that is what the firmware is for
so i'm going to run it i'm also doing a screen capture to show you everything i'm doing so the
screen capture might stop during the install and i'll just restart it so we click open file here
just moving it to be in the screen here and just basically click next all the
way through here we're going to go ahead and select led sync setup and install you
can choose whatever drive you want to i'm just going to install it on the root of the c drive
okay then run the evga program now finish i'll just go ahead and minimize that
so we see right here precision as horn detects that your firmware needs to be
updated let's go ahead update that firmware
for safety's sake make sure you don't have any firewalls or antivirus running
and start whoa now move the mic closer
you can even see this fan speed up the led lights turned off on the video card
and now the update is done
cool and then over here just click close then looks like precision x1 is going to open up
all right so after the update we're here at the root of the precision x1 software
and things have changed a little tiny bit since the last version so now on here we can go over
you know we can overclock the memory the gpu the power target we can also adjust
the fan speed and i'll get back to the fan speed in one second but if we come over here to led
notice this rainbow right over here or this led right over here
we could change it right now it's on rainbow but we'll change it to static
so it's static one color and then here you're able to adjust that color to whatever you want
okay and then you can adjust the brightness of that color turn it off all the way up to 255
and then that seems gonna go for every single color or every single you know profile here
so that's breathing and then rainbow then we can change the speed
color cycle you can select all the colors right over here and then rainbow wave
that's kind of relaxing
then wave that one kind of looks like a
knight rider-ish aging myself kind of thing kind of cool looking and we'll change the speed
that's weird
okay it's worried that a hundred percent
stays okay guess it was just a bug that's kind of cool looking
star just different sections lighting up at once
color stack
that one a little kind of like knight rider as well but
kind of looks like you're filling it with liquid
and temperature this one you're not going to be able to tell as much
because as you stress the card or run a game or do you know whatever it's going to affect the color
now the top of the card let me change the angle real quick for you now the top of
the card right now i have the light off but if i click over here and now i'll do
rainbow wave or actually maybe i need to turn it yeah okay so static on and this one also had
the option for static on breathing and just in case we're looking at this one right now
rainbow
color cycle rainbow wave
wave
star color stack and temperature now there is one right down here as well
i also have an argb fan connected there let me move it so you can see it better
and that's the same fan that i have for these side fans as well
but they're not connected to that header i have them actually on their own controller
it's a set of montek fans the set brings three fans and i'll go ahead and link them down in the
description below but now what i'm going to do is i'm going to link them by clicking this here
and you notice now all of them are on temperature they're all that blue color and then whichever
you want over here now they're on static on all on breathing
all on rainbow
it's kind of cool actually color cycle
this way you keep your entire system in sync
all right so i'm going to keep it on breathing because it's a little bit easier to show there
now we're going to go ahead and jump to vga then right over here are the fan speeds
so mind you you're not going to be able to see the ones down here
but you see how i'm controlling that external fan that's connected to the headers right over here
and i'll go ahead and show you the headers disconnected and then now connecting them
okay so the argb header these three little pins right over here
they're going to go connected right here 5v d and g you could see the pins right in there
so we're just going to go ahead slide them in there now for the fans that also bring
these guys the three pin header we're gonna connect that to aux fan see those pins right
down there you're going to put these little pieces right over here and so you can see the other side
but it's pretty cool that evga mind you they're not the first but it's cool that they've included
that in their card so you can help sync up at least one fan and control one fan
you know maybe to have that fan blowing air under the card to provide additional cooling in case
there is any issue there they've done a lot of work on precision i've always loved precision and
they keep changing it for the better it seems we'll just go ahead and raise that speed but
again i just wanted to show you how precision x1 works i've shown you how it updates itself i
had an issue earlier last year whenever it was when the 2080 came out i updated the firmware
and it killed the argb lighting as of right now there are no reports of the uh rgb lighting dying
you've seen it on film here but i wanted to show you how precision x1 works with the lighting and
the fan control and i don't think they're okay i was just a little scared to touch that but
if i wanted to i can go ahead and link up all the fans so now that they're all spinning
i'm going to pass my finger just on the tip just the tip oh i forgot to say to apply it
okay so the fan is spinning and actually in case you haven't seen it let me show
you the bottom real quick one sec okay so over here we can see the bottom piece
that has evga on it of that little bar and you couldn't see it before but that ftw3
also lights up it's linked to this entire bar so it's not a separate air gb control
man i'll tell you that really works well now mind you
it's not going to sync with the rest of your system but they might have something soon for that
so i hope this video has helped you out in controlling the fans and the lighting
on your evga geforce rtx 3090 ftw 3 ultra gaming that's a long one but uh and then also
how to connect the fan to the card and then also how to connect that argb header
so that you can sync that additional fan with your video card as well if i have helped you please
remember to click like and subscribe i'm going to be bringing you a lot more content on this card
and as we grow and as we improve the channel there will be a lot more coming soon so stay tuned guys
i want you to be at the ground level here yeah see you guys and thanks again for stopping by oh boy
