Hey man I was wondering if the fan will light up with only plugging in the usb 2 connector and the cpu connector I don’t care if I can’t control the color I just wanna know if it will light up at all with only those 2 wires
@@watchyohead1 it lights up if the fan is connected to power, the usb cables added with the wraith prism cooler are purely so you can change the RGB on the, i presume you are new and may not have the wraith prism cooler and just the amd stock cooler.
it's top left not top right. where the amd logo should be. at ruclips.net/video/alHCJAkzhsA/видео.html mark. you even installed it with logo top left. so it's just a miss spoke from you I'm guessing. but a big one. so maybe you should add some text clarifying it.

You may or may not believe how many videos I watched before I found someone who could show me with a clean camera angle how that lever works. Great video and video thankyou mister
You don't need to connect both RGB cables to the cooler. If you connect the cooler via 4 Pin RGB cable, the cooler will act as a single RGB component and LEDs can be controlled via Aura Sync but LEDs are not addressable in this case. But if you connect the cooler only with the USB cable, you can control the LEDs of all three zones (Fan LED/Ring/Logo) separately and they are addressable. To control like that you need to install Coolermaster Wraith Prism software.
The prism performs the same as a single 120 rad AIO water cooler. I tested mine out a few days ago. The prism looks much nicer though, because of its 3 separate RGB lights which can be modified to any color you desire, with the AMD Prism software you can download. Its also very silent, provided you choose the silent setting on your BIOS or even create a profile so it only runs at full speed (which sounds like a turbine engine) when your cpu hits 70c. That's how I have mine and 70c for an R5 3600 is perfectly fine and well within its max temp. The beauty of it is, I only reach 70c when I'm benchmarking, but it hardly ever goes above 69c when playing games. Really nice.
@Ordinary GP if your temps are in the lower or mid 70s, you're totally fine. These CPU's will operate well even in the high 70s without detrimental long term consequences, according to AMD. Some one on reddit was able to register the TJM at 95c. But I'd keep it no higher than 79c if possible, just so it doesn't heat up your tower too much, along with any GPU you may have running. A hotter ambient temperature will cause more heat with your components.
I've built a number of computers before but haven't seen this style of AMD CPU cooler. I was confused why the lever was so hard to push over, then watching this I see you have to apply pressure to the cooler to get it to snap in. Thanks much for the help Techhut!
@@TechHut hi, I've got a question besides this. I was thinking about building my own pc and I've put together a list of parts. But I'm just getting into building pcs, so I would like to ask if the parts I chose are good and if they could be better for a lower price. my build is, Gigabyte Aorus x570 Motherboard, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Processor, GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5700 XT GAMING OC 8G, 2x16gb Corsair Vengeance Rgb pro DDr4 3200Mhz, Intel SSD 660p Series 1.0 TB, M.2 80 mm PCIe, Pure base 500DX and Corsair RM650 80 Plus Gold. thank in advance :D
Jolanda Kanters Sounds a lot like my build! I’d try to go with 3600MHz memory if you can. Other than that it all seems good. You probably already have just double check the compatibility.
This video helped me out yesterday when installing my own. I was having issues putting it on as I didn’t know which latch goes where or which goes first and I had to remove and put it back in before I realized how I was suppose to put it in. I can’t wait to turn it on
Really well explained! I hadn't installed the cooler properly and had been getting errors for months but this video made it easy to identify my mistakes. Cheers!
Having holes on top of your case makes hooking the clamp with the lever much easier because you can peek through them while hooking the clamp. Also, either install the heatsink while you haven't installed the motherboard info the case yet (much easier!!) or install the heatsink with the graphics card removed. If your graphics card is near the CPU socket the clamp with no lever is a real pain to hook onto the CPU bracket.
So helpful my cpu was getting sooooo hot, I was worried it would get damaged. After watching I realized I needed to REALLY clip the movable clamp down. Brought my cpu Temps down about 15°C at Ray tracing Ultra in cyberpunk.
Very informative. Much thanks. Had my computer assembled by the guy at the shop (then redid it myself as the cable work wasn't aesthetically pleasing) and never understood why the CM utility kept saying that it couldn't find the RGB device. Never realised until after watching your video that there's actually another cable for the RGB. Thought the main fan connector also handled the LEDs in one go. Your video prompted me to look inside the box of misc parts just to find that there was in fact two cables there waiting to be used. As suggested, used the USB one and worked immediately. Now I can finally do away with the annoying RGB cycles and stick to the boring white lol
Thank you for being specific about orientation and where to plug the fan power cord. As a 1st time pc build I am triple checking everything and some of the others tend to skip the fiddly bits which makes me worry. Thanks for looking out for this noob. (Did I use that right? I think I used noob correctly.)
So you mean its better to use the USB socket to control the lightning of the prism than using the RGB header. Am I right? How did you cable manage the cable going to USB socket?
I think you might have said the simple way is to plug them both in and the more advanced way is to plug just the one in, also how did you able manage it? The cables are too short
Is there a general rule of thumb for where the “top right” of the motherboard is? I’m using a different Motherboard and the logo being in the top right isn’t an option for what I would assume the two “tops” of the motherboard may be (although obviously I have no idea what I’m talking about haha). Thanks!
@@RedVRCC i think the Ports are always on the same side, at every brand but if the CPU socket is at a different place, there still shouldn't be a problem except the radiator might be to close to something else bc of that
@@Ehrenlurch thanks. I've had one of these coolers that came with my 3800x and it's been held on by only gravity for several years now.

Hi, i don't know if you'll be answering but, i feel like i don't want to push the black lever too far because in my case it seems kind of heavy/hard. Do i still need to push it anyway ? Is it a normal situation ? Thanks for the answer ! I just don't want to take risks haha.
How are you supposed to manage the cable though? My GPU is right "under" the CPU, so the wire gets in the way. Do you make the cable go to the left, right, or just right over the GPU?Thanks!

Just a tiny question. I’ve found that my thermal paste is pre-applied like a tire track. Little tiny dots all spread out. Will the thermal compound still work as normal?
you don't need to apply any more thermal paste, in fact i'd advise against it. if you wanna use your own thermal paste, clean the surface of the cooler that already has it applied.
I was worried about this too, but it turns out AMD has started shipping them with this updated pattern instead of the usual pad. So its perfectly fine.
Hey mate I got a question as I'm almost having a meltdown lol. Is the prism needed? I have an RGB cooling fan that I will have to take out if that's the case. The cooler sits over the CPU where the prism goes. Sorry such a noob should have done my research.
I don't know if you respond to these comments anymore, but I was wondering why my 2700X went to 89/90C when converting DVD files to MP4, well now I know (improper mounting). My question is, and there is so much information yet so diverse, what would be the right amount of thermal paste for a 2700X/3700X (generation jump, but perhaps same amount)? Thanks in advance, Mr.
My cooler came with little hexagons of paste instead of a square and there is a lot less. Should I buy more or am I ok with about half of what you have
