If not, you can get a USB 3.0 to 2.0 header adapter for a few dollars or so off eBay, and use it to convert the header into a 2.0 one. If you do, they 'fight' each other and the RGB system tries to dominate.Click to expand.The cooler's USB adapter connects to a USB 2.0 header, though your motherboard probably has at least one of the larger 3.0 headers as well, unless you are also using that. From what I read in several discussion threads on web sites, you can not connect both the RGB and USB cables in this system. The USB connection provides power and control of the lighting devices in the Wraith cooler. Then you must download and install the ADDR RGB control utility from Cooler Master - the link to that is included in the AMD web page on these coolers here Instead, you must install the special cable that came with the Wraith system between its USB socket and a mobo USB2 header. That is, you do NOT connect that RGB cable to anything and you do NOT install the Aura Sync tool unless you have other plain RGB lighting systems to connect to the mobo RGB header.

So that can power and control plain RGB lights IF you install and use the ASUS Aura Sync software tool and then connect the Wraith's RGB cable to the mobo plain RGB header.īUT you will get much better control and more complex lighting displays if you do it the recommended way. Your mobo, however, has only the plain RGB type of header. The lights in the Wraith Prism cooler system are of the more advanced Addressable RGB type.
