AMD Wraith Stealth Socket AM4 4-Pin Connector CPU Cooler with Aluminum Heatsink & 3.93-Inch Fan (Slim)

Product Information

In terms of noise, the general consensus is positive. Several users have praised its quiet operation, describing it as barely noticeable. This makes it a viable option for those who value a noise-free computing experience. The science of airflow is fluid dynamics. Air flow the same as liquids do. Read the guide in link I gave you previously to get an idea of how it works. Trying to use top rear as intake will not work. It would just create a lot of turbulence and mixing of heated air with cool air.

The Wraith Max is using a Cooler Master fan with a model number of FD09225M12LPD and it's rated at 0.5A.When building a system, and especially one designed for multiplayer gaming, having the option to save on a GPU and instead put that money into a faster monitor could mean the difference between Gold and Diamond ranks next season (or between 60Hz and 240Hz, depending on the monitor model). At 1080p, the Ryzen 5 5600G was just about able to hit the 165Hz/165fps threshold in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, a mark that could easily be exceeded with just one or two more in-game settings turned down. For Ryzen 5 2600 owners it will net you Wraith Prism-like performance when gaming though it's worth noting that the 120mm fan does a much better job of cooling the VRM on our X470 board. The Gammaxx 200T also appears to be a decent upgrade option for R5 2600X and R7 2700 owners.

First up I measured peak temperatures after 30 minutes of gameplay during our Overwatch bot match stress test. Using the Wraith Prism saw the 2600 peak at just 47 degrees which is very cool and the VRM never exceeded 43 degrees, these are exceptional temperatures for a reasonably heavy gaming load, speaking of which CPU utilization hovers around 50% in this test. Because of these low temps the Prism fan never spun faster than 1600 RPM and at that speed it's virtually silent.When compared to other coolers, the Wraith Stealth cooler isn't too loud. It's not the quietest option out there, but it won't be too annoying when you're using your computer or playing games. Summary: Idle temperatures will be measured after leaving the computer idle for 20 minutes. CPU-Z will be used to verify the CPU speed and the voltage being used in Windows 10. Also, the coolers are tested with the default settings (Turbo, C1E etc) enabled in the BIOS.
