RGB Control on AMD Wraith Spire Cooler

[JuanSoIo]

Hello!

 

I wanted to know if there's a way of controling the RGB lighting on the AMD Wraith Spire Cooler, if the motherboard doesn't have dedicated RGB headers, or it would only work as the default configuration.

 

Thanks

99% sure you cant change it without dedicated motherboard rgb headers.

If the mobo doesn't have an RGB header it would be a black rig

Which motherboard are you looking at getting? I can't recall seeing any mobos that don't have at least the RGB header for the AMD cooler.

Im not looking at none in particular, but, while watching tutorials on youtube, I saw that in order to have control over the rgb lighting, you must have a software such as Asus Aura, that came in just the high end mobos with those RGB header such as the ones in the attached image, as you can tell im not that tech savy, so any orientation in this subject is highly appreciated

Ahh I see, no there are some lower end mobos that are still very good especially for the price. This one I have is the ASrock AB350M it's m-ATX and it has 4*RAM slots, 2*M.2 connectors that support 1*NVME/PCI-e x4 and 1*SATA/AHCI drives. Has 4*SATA ports (1 of them is disabled if using the SATA m.2 port),  PCI-e x16 port, and PCI-e x4 port (the PCI-e x4 port is disabled if using the m.2 NVME PCI-e x4 port). Has the AMD fan/LED port and also an extra RGB port to hook up some case LEDs etc. Has 9 power phase design, so pretty good OC potential if you need it too, it's one of the better spec m-ATX boards for sure and it's only around £78. There's more info here if you want to have a look.

For prices for your country a good starting point is to have a look at the PCpartpicker site  here

and other AM4 boards (sorted by lowest price) here

 

If you need any help picking something out, I don't mind helping you at all. You will need to tell me your requirements though, such as whether you will be using an m.2 drive, how many SATA drives, LED lighting? like on-board lighting, LED strips, LED cooler? PCI-e GPUs? etc etc, and if you need help choosing any of that too, I don't mind either, just let me know your budget and I'll try to suggest something suitable if you let me know what your usage will be, like gaming/streaming/both, workload type such as rendering, encoding/re-coding/transcoding videos and whether you will be using anything like plex, whether you will be using it as an HTPC also at the same time etc.

Sorry, don't mean to overwhelm you with choices, if you need help deciding on anything I'll be happy to help
