- masklinn 8y agoI expect they had Intel's stock cooler. For some reason, AMD decided Ryzen's stock coolers should come with RGB LED (at least for Ryzen 7).

- vatueil 8y agoTo be precise, not all AMD Ryzen stock coolers have LEDs. The Wraith Max, Wraith Prism (successor to the Max), and some Wraith Spire coolers have LEDs. For first-generation Ryzen, the -X models were often sold without a bundled stock cooler, which limited uptake of Wraith Max. Some had Wraith Spires with LEDs, others without. For second-generation Ryzen, all CPUs come with stock coolers. The Ryzen 7 2700X has Wraith Prism and the 2700 non-X has Wraith Spire w/LED. The stock Wraith Spire and Wraith Stealth coolers for other Ryzen 2000-series CPUs do not have LEDs. Of course, you can always turn the LEDs off.
