Did you also make the connection to the CPU_FAN header? That is where the cooler gets its power for both the fan and the lights, AND where its fan speed is controlled, AND how the mobo can check that the fan actually is working (from the speed signal). I hope you did NOT also connect the other cable for Option (a). Then you DO need to download and use the lighting control software utility. The other end of that plugs into a mobo (10-1) pin USB2 header. You use the other cable with THREE holes in one end, and plug it into the OTHER (3-pin) socket on the cooler side. (b) INSTEAD of that, if you choose, or if you have no 4-pin plain RGB mobo header (this appears to be your case, OP) you do not use that cable.

If you use this method you do not need the special software for the Wraith Prism. These include Cooler Master’s Wraith Prism software, motherboard-specific software (Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light, etc.), or Razer’s Chroma software. If you have such a header, this way you can synchronize the Prism's display with your other plain RGB lights. (a) connect a cable with FOUR holes into a recessed 4-pin socket on the side of the cooler, and the other end of this goes to a mobo 4-pin (12 VDC) PLAIN RGB header IF you have one. Hopefully Gigabyte updates their software to support the Wraith Prism better.There are two connections to make with the Wraith Prism, and one NOT to make.įirst, its female 4-pin FAN connector must plug into your mobo's CPU_FAN header. We have a look at the Ryzen 7 3700X, install it then look at the RGB Software that controls the Wraith Prism CPU Cooler and Temps.Hope you like it.If you. So best option at this stage for me anyway is to leave the 4-pin RGB connector off, connect only with the USB header and use the Coolermaster Wraith Prism utility for full RGB control on the Wraith Prism. It defaults to the 4-pin mode and RGB Fusion overrides it (back to rainbow ring and white AMD logo only) Here's the thing though, if you've plugged in BOTH the 4-pin connector and the USB connector from the Wraith Prism to your motherboard, the Coolermaster Wraith Prism Utility will not take control. But you will lose that SYNC functionality with RGB fusion. When the Wraith Prism is connected to your motherboard using the USB header, the Coolermaster Wraith Prism Utility will have full control over all zones on the Wraith Prism including chase effects etc. When the 4 pin connector on the Wraith Prism is connected to your RGB header on the motherboard, RGB Fusion will control and sync the Wraith Prism Fan LED, but NOT the outer ring LED or the AMD logo LED (these will always remain at default which is rainbow for the ring led and white for the AMD logo)

I also had these issues and this is what I've found from my testing. I recently bought the 2700X and Gigabyte X470 Ultra Gaming.
