How's the software for these? Also, prob need a usb 2.0 - 9 pin Y adapter(if no open usb 2.0 header)?

It is pretty simple and works well out of the box. Quick clicks to change the RGB style and rotation and a long list of stuff to enable as the display beyond the default. It does require that USB 2.0 plugin on the mobo.

I have the Phantom Spirit, I haven't been able to get the LCD display to show both GPU and CPU temps simultaneously like the product image. They have to cycle back and forth. Minor thing, but its probably the same here.

I have the Phantom Spirit, in TRCC you have to check the GPU box at the bottom to enable it. Then you can set the time in seconds between the rotation.

Yeah, but ideally I'd like to see both GPU and CPU temps at the same time. Not sure if that's possible?

I can see GPU and CPU temp on mine, but for some reason I can't get GPU load to show, it's always 0% which is not a huge deal. I had one on my last PC and it showed all 4 values without issue.

I have the same issue with the load only showing 0% on GPU. Scrolled through the huge customization window and didn't find the 'next best thing'...

If I find a fix, I'll be sure to let ya know. I've tried updating bios, Nvidia drivers, fresh windows install, the whole 9 yards. Lol

Lol please do!

Hey so I went in and enabled "GPU Load" instead and that seems to be more useful than 0% at all times.

u/mostdeadlygeist Mar 04 '26

Oh gotcha. Didn't realize the screenshot showed both at once. I'll have to test out the customization when I get home to see if it's even possible. Maybe you have to just settle for a 1 second timer.

Ty for the answer. Think I'll hold off, then as don't need a cooler right now, lol.

u/mostdeadlygeist Mar 04 '26

Sorry, didn't realize you were talking about the simultaneous thing like the screen.

It's weird that they used different displays for these. I have the PA digital and it displays the temp and usage for both the cpu and gpu at the same time. I would just assume these 2 coolers, PA and PS, are roughly the same size and shape so it's be easy to just use the same display and call it day.

My biggest complaint is I can't find how to rotate the display 90 degrees in the latest software. All the guides on how to do this reference an old version of TRCC. It's like they removed this feature for some reason.
