Wraith Prism RGB Problem at Startup

[Fazii]

Every time I restart my computer (from boot or sleep) the Cooler Master software refuses to load my saved RGB settings on my CPU fan. This can be fixed by me just opening the Cooler Master software and immediately closing, but that is extremely annoying. I have a hunch there may be conflict between the CM software and Mystic light (for RAM and MB). Has anybody encountered this issue, and is there a fix?

Its probably not starting up normally. As far as I know there is no fix. The same thing happens to me with razer synapses, it does not load my DPI profile until it open the software myself.

Would be nice if somebody could come up with a single piece of software that has the ability to control all of the RGB in one place. Having 4 different programs to make sure all the RGB matches is stupid!

I figured it out! Or rather, this other guy figured it out and I found his thread: https://pcpartpicker.com/forums/topic/339347-amd-3700x-cpu-cooler-rgb-trouble

 

Apparently the ASUS Aura software is a PoS, and when the computer turns on or wakes from sleep, both Cooler Master and Aura Sync fight it out for control of the AMD Prism LEDs, and both lose. On my rig, this manifested as resetting the LEDs to pure red whenever I woke up my computer.

Turns out, the solution is really simple: unplug the Wraith Prism from all your RGB headers, and the problems will stop! Apparently Cooler Master is using some proprietary voodoo (???) to communicate with the Prism through the fan header, and since Aura Sync can't find the fan, it can't muck with its RGB settings. Problem solved.
