Look for a setting that says ROG Effects under the Advanced menu option. Click on Onboard LED, then select Disable or All off, and the RGB on your motherboard will shut off with your computer.

Or it may be found in Advanced, Onboard Devices Configuration, LED lighting, set When system is in sleep, hibernate or soft off states, All off.

If you notice a setting that accomplishes this please share with a staff member or moderator in the official Discord so we can add it to this list. Thanks!

Note

All BIOS from every vendor from 2009 onwards should include a setting called ErP (Energy-related Products). That setting must be enabled to ensure all power from the PC is never greater than 1W in off states, therefore ensuring all LEDs also turn off.
