Likewise, those with a 2600X or 2700 may wish to know how much better the Prism is than the Spire.

Those who bought the Rymay want to know if it's worth buying the Wraith Spire or Prism second hand, there are always some to be had on eBay. Then we have the non-X 2600 that gets the little Wraith Stealth weighing in at just 317 grams making it 15% lighter than the Spire and a whopping 45% lighter than the Prism. Then Ryand Ryzen 5 2600X get the Wraith Spire, this model tips the scales at 372 grams making it 36% lighter, but it still sports a copper slug in the base. The more expensive Ryzen 7 2700X is the only model to come with the fancy looking Wraith Prism and it's the only 105 watt TDP part, so it does call for a beefier cooler, this model weighs in at 580 grams. I hope this cleared up some confusion.AMD upped the game with the stock CPU coolers it bundled with Ryzen processors and they kicked it up another notch with 2nd-gen Ryzen which come with one of three Wraith models that we are comparing today: the Stealth, Spire and Prism. I can even control the colors from my MSI motherboard software. In my case, I had downloaded the wrong version of the driver software. It took me a while to figure it out, but once I had the above setup, the software worked. Each driver version is only looking for the model of cooler it is tailored for, so make sure that in your case, you download and run the WRAITH PRISM software. For instance, you cannot use Wraith Prism software with a Wraith Max cooler. The software you use should match the model of Wraith cooler you have.The cooler can ONLY be connected to a standard USB 2.0 header. FYI, I'm guessing the AMD USB HEADER on your motherboard is proprietary and is not compatible with this cooler.In this state, the software will not be able to communicate with the cooler. If the RGB wire is connected, the controller will default to using the RGB control and USB control will be turned off. For color control, however, ONLY the USB wire should be connected to a USB 2.0 header. Of course, for fan control, the fan header should always be connected to the CPU fan control header on the motherboard.There are two conditions that must be met in order for the Wraith software to work:
