A cable cover that ships without its own lighting hardware is only half a purchase, because you then have to go hunting for a controller that fits. The Aurora Learn ARGB PSU Cable Cover from AsiaHorse closes that gap by putting the SATA-powered controller and remote inside the same R599 box as the shell itself, so nothing extra needs adding once it arrives.

Quick Answer

Aurora Learn is R599 and that price covers the shell, the SATA-powered controller and the remote together, not the shell on its own. Inside the cover sit 108 addressable LEDs running at 60 FPS, and the supplied controller holds 124 or more lighting presets you can select without touching any board software. For South African buyers it also carries a 1 Year Local Warranty, so a fault is handled locally rather than through an overseas process.

💡 What R599 actually buys

A single Learn cover, in either the 205mm 24-pin shape or the 260mm shell built for a three-plug graphics run, arrives with everything needed to light it. There is no second box to order and no separate controller to research against a compatibility list, because the one in the package was built for this specific cover. Black and white are both listed at the same figure, so colour is a free choice rather than a price decision.

Compare that against buying a bare cover and then sourcing lighting hardware separately, and the value of the bundle becomes clearer. A mismatched controller is a real risk when parts are bought apart, whereas here the pairing has already been done for you.

🔌 Why a controller needs its own connection

No power passes through the shell itself. It clips over your existing cable run, whether that is a stock PSU lead or a sleeved extension, and dresses it rather than replacing it. The 108 LEDs inside are fed separately, through the SATA-powered controller included in the box, so a free SATA connector on your power supply is worth checking before you fit anything.

🎛️ Two ways to run the lighting

The included remote gives instant access to the preset library with nothing installed on the machine, which is the quickest path to a finished look. If you would rather the cover match fans and strips elsewhere in the build, flip it to 5V 3-pin motherboard sync and let your board's own software take over instead. Both routes are documented for this product, so neither is a workaround.

Builders assembling a themed case, including anyone browsing case lighting options for the rest of the interior, can decide later which control method suits the finished look rather than committing at purchase time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the box at R599?

One cover, a SATA-powered controller and a remote. The presets and the lighting hardware arrive together rather than as separate purchases.

How many LEDs does the cover carry?

It holds 108 addressable LEDs, running at 60 FPS and styled so each strand glows individually instead of as one flat band.

Do I need motherboard lighting software to use it?

No. The remote and controller carry 124 or more presets on their own, and syncing to the board is offered as an alternative, not a requirement.

How is the controller powered?

Through a SATA connection drawn from the power supply, separate from the cable the cover clips over, so a spare SATA connector matters.

Which shell shapes are offered?

A 205mm shell for the 24-pin run and a 260mm shell for a three-plug graphics run, each sold in black or white.

Does any power run through the cover?

None. It clips over an existing cable and dresses it visually; the cable underneath keeps carrying its original connection unchanged.

What warranty applies locally?

A 1 Year Local Warranty, meaning a failed cover or controller is handled inside South Africa rather than through an import claim.
