CORSAIR Faith Computer Portfolio
The DOM boy of the poor computer is not poor. This time I received a task to build a CORSAIR family barrel for a friend. The challenge this time is that you can’t use brands other than CORSAIR except the left CPU, MB, and VGA. So. CORSAIR has always been famous for its RGB lighting in computers and surroundings, so this time try to buy CORSAIR products with lights, and demonstrate how to use its own iCUE Murals Lighting lighting effect software, and then synchronize lighting with Nanoleaf and other smart home lamps. The effect is quite good.

CORSAIR iCUE Murals Lighting lighting effects software
CORSAIR has recently updated its iCUE lighting effect control software and added the Murals Lighting function to provide users with an intuitive and interactive interface, which is convenient for users to customize the RGB lighting effects of CORSAIR peripheral products. In addition to selecting the preset effects in the software, users can also upload any images, GIFs or videos to Murals to create a personalized lighting environment.
Murals also supports smart lighting systems such as Philips Hue and Nanoleaf. Users can control and synchronize products of these brands through Murals, such as smart light bulbs, wall panels, etc., so that the RGB lighting effects on the computer host can extend to the entire room, providing dazzling lighting. lighting effects.
This time, the Nanoleaf Shapes Triangles Starter Kit (9 Panels) will be used as a demonstration. First, select “Integrations” in the iCue setting interface, then enable the corresponding brand options, and then start to select and configure the smart lamps that the user wants to connect. Note that Nanoleaf smart lights need to be pre-configured in their own App, and the host computer and phone must be connected to the same 2.4Ghz network, so that iCue can detect and connect to the smart lights.
▲ Follow the instructions to complete the connection
▲ After the connection is successful, you will see the smart lamp in the interface
Demonstration of lighting effects:
This time, the preset “Abstract” effect in Murals is used as a demonstration. You can see that the Nanoleaf Shapes smart light panel on the rear wall has successfully synchronized the lighting effects with the host. Users can also use their creativity to create their own lighting environment.
Editor’s comment:
The first feeling after building: so beautiful!
