The arrival of new Ryzen processors has shaken the gaming world after some spectacular first results. AMD's new brains have surpassed the dominance that Intel had achieved in recent years, so, today, it seems that AMD is once again positioned as the most interesting option to play. And what else is needed to have a gaming team? Exact. Colored lights.
A fan with lights
Taking advantage of the launch of the new Ryzen 9 and Ryzen 7 of the third generation, AMD has presented the new official heatsinks that will arrive with the new processors, and that is where we find the Wraith Prism, a low profile heatsink that stands out for offering an LED ring that will illuminate to give color to the interior of your tower.
And how could it be otherwise, this color ring will have the RGB essence of Razer, since we will be able to control the lighting and tones thanks to the technology Razer Chroma, which will allow us to choose from a total of 16,8 million different shades. The interesting thing about this alliance is that the Wraith Prism will be able to synchronize with other Razer illuminated devices through Razer Chroma Connect, so the entire light show will always be in tune.
This heatsink is manufactured by Cooler Master, and comes included in a pack with the following third-generation AMD Ryzen processors:
- AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
- AMD Ryzen 7 3800X
- AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
- AMD Ryzen 9 3950X (coming in September 2019)
How does this fan with lights work?
So that the lights of the Wraith PRISM turn on, we must connect two additional cables in addition to the control cable of the fan itself. These cables are included in the box and we will have to connect them to a USB port and some pins on the front panel of a compatible board, or else they will not turn on.
In the event that you do not have accessories Razer, you can always give color with the motherboard's own software, which will be in charge of synchronizing the color of other elements and areas of the board. This will only be possible as long as you have a motherboard compatible with this type of lighting such as ASRock RGB LED, ASUS Aura sync, Biostar VIVID LED DJ, Gigabyte RGB Fusion and MSI Mystic Light.
