To the point where I question the legitimacy of including stock coolers with such demanding processors.
My own Wraith Prism is just sitting in the basement, and I don't see myself ever using it, unless something happens to my high-end cooling system and I need to install something while getting it fixed, at which point it'll go back to the basement again.
It would be interesting to see statistics on how many Wraith Prism coolers sold together with 3900X CPU:s actually end up being used. I expect the number to be quite low.
- JimmyAustin 7y agoThe first gen of Ryzen 7 chips didn't even include a cooler. I suspect they throw in the cools just so reviewers don't put "no cooler included" in the cons section of reviews.
- opencl 7y agoThe 1700 came with a cooler (I know because I have one), it was just the higher TDP 1700X and 1800X that didn't.
- pkroll 7y agoI'd expect it to be pretty high: given reviews, I went with the stock Wraith Prism, and it's been fine. If I did bump up, I'd go to a Noctua, as the water cooling just seems like theater. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23vjWtUpItk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23vjWtUpItk
