The motherboard has built-in RGB LEDs in the IO shield and the PCH, and these are digital RGB LEDs, meaning that each LED can emit a different color. Control through the Mystic application could be improved, and I had to fiddle around inside the application to understand how to get the digital functionality going.
The motherboard has a unique look, and it's pretty cool.
