If it isn't a feature yet, I believe it should be one, since I found forum posts regarding this from back in October. I was wondering if anyone found a solution to this, maybe there's a way to let Mystic Light know to exclude/skip the CPU cooler itself, and only I'm not finding it, or there's some other clever way to handle this? Mystic Light seemingly uses a service to handle it's lighting and when it starts, it assumes control over the Wraith Prism for a small time and lets go of it, which forces it to go to it's default state (full red). Wraith Prism seemingly saves it's parameters inside the cooler itself (such as better mouses keep their DPI settings and such when changing between computers). MSI Mystic Light doesn't have this option, but I am using it for other RGB stuff in my case. This way it has addressable RGB ring effects on the outer circles and such.

So I've read it before and it's been a problem for others as well: the Wraith Prism's full potential is unlocked by using Cooler Master's Wraith Prism software.

Something like that might be the most compact and straightforward option, if you don't have another USB header to spare.My go-to wouldn't have been writing here, but since opening a ticket just throws me no permission, hoping maybe this will get some feedback. Those will plug into a USB 2.0 header and split it into two or more headers, just like a USB hub, only for internal headers. Some will also have a plug to receive power from the PSU though, so don't mistake that for a USB header.Īnother option would be a USB 2.0 header splitter.

Most USB 3.0 cards with an internal header will probably have a 3.0 header though, so an adapter may still be necessary. Those tend to start around $15 or so on sites like eBay, though you may be able to find some for less if you are willing to wait longer for shipment from China. Most of those add additional external USB ports, but some also include an additional internal header (or only internal headers in some cases). If you don't have a free USB header of any kind, but do have a PCIe 1x or larger slot available, it's also possible to add a USB PCIe card. You would want to make sure you get one with the metal pins on the smaller 9-pin 2.0 side, and holes on the larger 3.0 side if you did though, as adapters with the opposite arrangement also exist. 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. 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.
