Where to Plug in the AMD Wraith Prism CPU cables on a X470 motherboard
Here's some links if your motherboard doesn't have an RGB header:
Simple button-based RGB controller to stash inside the case: Simple Cooler Master RGB Controller
RGB controller with a remote: Rainbow LED Controller W/ Remote (If you're going to use this one you may need this adapter and cable)
Note that the 3 vs. 4 pin headers are different (Shown below)...do not mix these up! Here's an article on the difference for you.
To check if your motherboard has an RGB header, look for this (I know you have a Gigabyte, but just in case others are curious):
ASRock:
Asus:
Gigabyte:
Intel:
MSI:
From what I've read (Never had the wraith prism cooler) it uses a 4-Pin connector and has a USB connector "powered by Cooler Master" so it may have an RGB controller built-in. If one of the cables you plugged in was this one:
Then you don't need the RGB cable and can just download this software from Cooler Master and you should be good. If you plugged in the other cable (12v 4-Pin RGB on the right) then you can use your motherboard's RGB control which you can download here from Gigabyte. If you would rather go to the page and download it directly you can do that here in case they've released a new version.
So, the TL:DR version of all this:
1: Make sure you plug in the fan header and either the USB or RGB header (See Below*).
2: Download either the motherboard RGB software here (Select "RGB Fusion"), or the Cooler Master software here depending on whether you used the RGB header or USB header respectively.
