The X299 OC Formula is not RGB crazy, and while it does have RGB LEDs built under the PCH, the buck stops there. The motherboard has two RGB LED headers if you want to light up your system, but by default, it won't light up much.

You might also notice that we replaced the 7900X with the 7960X in our benchmarks.
