amd wraith prism on linux

[StalePie42]

Is it possible to change the rgb on the wraith prism cooler in Linux?

Depending on your motherboard, OpenRGB might be able to work.

OpenRGB supports it IIRC.

Motherboard doesn't really affect support for external devices, assuming its a standard 3 or 4 pin RGB header Linux talks to it directly. Your motherboard type only affects support for devices built into the board itself.

External devices no, but OpenRGB does have problems with the RGB controller on some motherboards. MSI boards, for instance, got bricked by OpenRGB and have since had their support by OpenRGB disabled.

TBF, I'm not sure its a controller issue as much as its a non standard command issue. You can actually control them manually by echoing a command to a device in the /dev folder though just an FYI, please don't EVER do this, you can brick the device by sending it the wrong command.

 

I assume MSI probably changed something about the command structure on some of its board models and the software was sending it the commands for older variants. Still good to know though

I have an asus b550-f board have you heard of issues with my particular board?

I haven't heard anything about that board, but the B450 variant of it has full support and the X570 variant has full support, so I would be very surprised if that board didn't work just fine.

Plus if you're using the USB connector for the cooler, that does not interact with the RGB controller and therefore should be completely fine (I had forgotten that existed until reading through the support list)
