AMD Wraith Prism RGB LED CPU Heatsink Cooler AM4 OEM

temps now under 40c was on 60-80c

When I did a platform upgrade and went from an FX-8320 to a R7 2700X, I threw the Wraith Prism RGB aside, and went straight with an AiO. It went unused until I decided that I wanted to build a PC for my little niece using some old parts, and new parts. All was going well for bench tests. I installed the OS and updates on the bench. But when I threw everything inside of the case, it went up in smoke--literally a massive puff. I may never figure out why, or what I did. Regardless, I decided to purchase another Wraith Prism RGB. The one I'm writing this review for. This is cooling an old FX-8320 at 4.2GHz, with 1.42v on the vcore. Using a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 Rev. 4.0, and HyperX Blu 16GB DDR3 1600MHz CL10 with aftermarket RGB heatsinks. No puffs of smoke when turning on the system, this time. I was actually shocked at the performance. Inside of a Phanteks P300 case (which doesn't have the best airflow) with EZFAB-DIY RGB fans, and Noctua NT-H1 thermal paste, the FX-8320 idles at 21°C--43°C at max load. Baring in mind, with a Hyper 212 Evo and similar conditions, with the same thermal goop, the FX-8320 ran hotter by 10-15°C Since it's on a board without RGB headers, it's understandable that I connected it to the internal USB header. So the LEDs are controlled through AMD/Cooler Master's Wraith Prism software. It's easy to use, and there are a variety of options/FX to mess around with.

Many thanks. It's great. Retail box with all the bits!

The cooler comes without the plastic brackets necessary for installation so you have to buy separately, another day lost.

Nice little cooler for my daughters gaming PC. Quiet and lights up nicely in RGB. Keeps CPU cool and nicer looking than the stock Ryzen fan. Still working months later if you were wondering

Bought this as I didn't like my stock cooler for entry pc, definitely worth the upgrade, good value for money, works great, RGB is a nice feature, not noisy at all even on high settings, install is fairly easy just bet gentle

well what can i say , installation was a breeze , looks great in the pc, i did get both cables but i havent used them as i dont know how to !!! overall pc running cool. i could of got this item cheaper else where but trust amazon!! arrived quicker that most my other parts i ordered the same day my system is below for those intrested!!! rog asus b450-f mb (used via ebay) cooler mentioned above ryxen 7 2700x(2nd hand via cex gtx 1070 8gb vr rdy (2nd hand via cex ist player pc gaming case (available on amazon) 16gb ddr4 3000 (bought of amazon) corsair 650 psu bronze rated 2x m.2 500gb ssd (available on amazon) 1x sata 1tb drive( cex yet again ) ahaha

Unlike many of the other reviews, I found installing this cooler to be a complete pain. I had to dig out the backplate and brackets and re-attach them to the motherboard first. The cooler has metal arms that hook onto the brackets, then a small lever on one side that keeps it secure and tight. I also had to unscrew and remove the graphics card before I could hook the lower arm onto the bracket as there wasn't enough space. The cooler does come with pre-applied paste as standard but it wasn't that great in terms of coverage.

Snelle levering Werkt goed en voor een goede prijs

Couldn't be more happy. It looks cool it's very quiet and you do not need a master in electronics to mount it. For best result use the usb cable for RGB and Cooler Master software. This software allows you to control all 3 RGB zones independently. ( logo, ring and fan) The only downside is that there is no support bracket to mount it on the mother board. I had one from the previous cooler so no problem for me. I put it on low speed and is practically mute. CPU temp went down about 10 degrees with it and I run a lot of application at the moment as you can see from pictures( RPM 1746) (the background sound you hear in the clip is actually my AC working) Long story short it worth the money and does a good job.

This cpu cooling fan has been made by cpu manufacturer AMD and makes fitting a breeze as there are no after market adapters it just clip straight in. The LED'S look great too.

Redujo temperatura vs wraith spire y se ve muy bien. Excelente alternativa a disipadores tipo torre para enfriar VRM
