Switching to board sync moves the lighting under the board's software. It adds a connection to a 5V 3-pin header while the controller stays in place. You lose the remote's preset library and gain one scheme across the build.
Flipping a single setting sounds like the whole story until you actually trace what moving from one control mode to another involves. On this Aurora Learn cable cover, the change touches wiring as much as it touches software.
Switching Aurora Learn from remote control to board sync moves the lighting under the motherboard's own software, requiring a new connection from the controller to a 5V 3-pin header on the board, while the controller itself stays exactly where it was already fitted. What you gain from the R599 cover is one consistent scheme across the whole build; what you lose is direct access to the remote's own 124-plus preset library while that mode is active.
A connection is made from the controller to a 5V 3-pin header on the motherboard, and that new lead is the actual mechanism the sync mode relies on to receive instructions from the board's own software.
The SATA power connection to the power supply remains in place regardless, since the controller still needs its own dedicated power supply whether it is driving the cover from stored presets or simply passing along board instructions.
They stay saved inside the controller and are simply not driving the cover while sync mode is active, meaning switching back to the remote restores full access to the same library exactly as it was left.
Making this change lets the cover follow the same lighting scheme as other components elsewhere in the build, rather than running its own independent effect alongside fans and strips, such as anything sourced from a case lighting range, synced through the board.
A free addressable header on the motherboard is required for this switch, which is exactly the reason a build might stick with the remote instead, since headers are frequently already committed elsewhere.
A connection is made from the controller to a 5V 3-pin header on the board, which is the route the sync mode relies on.
No. The controller still needs its own power, so the SATA connection stays exactly in place regardless of which mode is active.
They remain saved in the controller and simply are not driving the cover, so switching back restores the full library unchanged.
So the cover follows the same lighting scheme as other components, rather than running its own separate effect alongside the rest of the build.
Yes, which is the main reason a build might stay on the remote instead, since headers are commonly already fully committed.
Control has moved to the board's software at that point, so the cover follows that instead of responding to the handheld remote.
Yes, the two modes are presented as alternatives for the same product, so moving between them remains a straightforward setup decision.
