It comes as no surprise that Xcalibur’s headline feature is RGB lighting. By default this memory kit will cycle through the rainbow effect, but installing TEAM’s Blitz software allows full customisation for both modules. During our review of this phase of Xcalibur, we encountered a problem when installing the software and this could crop up for other users too.
To obtain the Blitz software, the latest version must be downloaded from TEAM’s website. This arrives in the form of a zip file – simply opening this zip (rather than choosing to save) will present an error during the installation. The wizard does allow you to complete installation, but on trying to execute the installed application it instantly crashes. So, to overcome this problem you should choose to save the zip file when downloading, once complete you will then need to right click > properties and choose “Unblock”. Unlocking the exe will allow for the successful installation of Blitz.
Once inside the software, we have full control over addressing specific colours and modes to the lighting strips on Xcalibur. There are an impressive number of animation effects which can be applied.
It should also be noted that Xcalibur RGB works with: ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync and ASRock Polychrome Sync.
Below, we’ve produced a demonstration of the different options available and have even showcased the “music” mode. You can view this Xcalibur RGB Demonstration or simply click the video below.
