did you know your msi red LEDs are actually RGB

I've already posted this in the motherboard section, but I'm trying to hit as wide an audience as possible so here we are;

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the red Leds on my mortar max are actually programable RGB!
all I wanted to do was turn them off, and now here I am, with an old version of the Msi mystic lights3 program and a very nice huming green Borg effect bunch of leds inside the case! I say 'old version of mystic lights3 because the new version comes with a bunch of guff that I'm not interested in, so hey, I'll leave it in your hands now, if you search for the old version, I'm sure you will find it too
I hope at least one other person is happy to discover this, I don't remember it being advertised as such, nor mentioned as a selling point
I don't know exactly how many MSI boards have got this, but I'm pretty sure the mortar, the mortar max, and the tomahawk do, You'll know if you have the strip of red leds at the top right of your board just under the lip of the edge
Thanks.

This is really fantastic news. Thank you for sharing.

Mine is behind a blue acrylic panel in a custom case I built and the red LEDs look naff. Wonderful and joyous news indeed.

So - no BIOS settings for this (that you know of) I have to install the mystic lights programme? Can I install it, set the lights, then uninstall?
