So as the title states, does the mobo come with an RGB header? I am planning on getting a Ryzen 5 1500X and keeping the stock Wraith Spire cooler, which has RGB, so I was wondering if the board had a place to plug in the RGB. I've heard that apparently the B350 PC Mate and the Tomahawk are virtually the same so does the Tomahawk have an RGB Header? The Tomahawk is the more popular of the two I'm pretty sure so if the Tomahawk has an RGB Header the PC Mate should too right? Thanks :)

so if I plug the RGB cable from the cooler into the RGB Strip Header it will work then? I'm assuming then that I will not be able to put any RGB light strips in it because the header will be full

Ok I was not planning on putting any RGB strips in right now anyways I was just asking the question for future reference, so since I'm not using RGB strips I just plug the cooler into the header and it will work, correct?

Yes I can confirm this. You can also download the MSI gaming program and you will be able to sync cooler with mono.

The CPU Fan connector supports RGB. You can plug the CPU Fan in the CPU Fan Connector and any RGB strips in the RGB header. You can control the Wraith Spire's RGB Ring with the CPU Fan connector itself iirc.
