Operation
The primary function of the ROG Herculx bracket is to provide stable support for your graphics card. Once installed and adjusted, it operates passively.
Aura Sync RGB Lighting
If connected to an ARGB header, the embedded 3D ARGB element can be customized and synchronized with other ASUS components via the ASUS Armoury Crate software. Refer to your motherboard's manual or ASUS support for detailed instructions on using Armoury Crate.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the bracket with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the device.
- Inspection: Occasionally check the bracket's position and height adjustment to ensure it maintains proper support for the graphics card.
- Environmental Conditions: Ensure the PC case environment is free from excessive dust and moisture to prolong the life of all internal components, including the bracket.
Troubleshooting
- Bracket Not Supporting GPU: Ensure the adjustable wheel is tightened sufficiently and the support arm is making firm contact with the graphics card. Re-adjust the height if necessary.
- RGB Lighting Not Working: Verify that the ARGB cable is securely connected to an addressable RGB header on your motherboard. Check the ASUS Armoury Crate software for lighting settings and ensure the bracket is detected. Confirm that the motherboard's ARGB header is enabled in the BIOS/UEFI if applicable.
- Bracket Instability: Ensure the bracket is placed on a flat, stable surface within the PC case.
