Intel coolers are so ridiculously bad compared to stock AMD ones. Just another small example of how far Intel has fallen behind AMD.

- microtonal 5y agoStock AMD coolers are also terrible. The one I got with my 3700X was terribly loud. Replaced it by a Noctua and it is barely audible at all (in comparison).
- starky 5y agoIt is still night and day better. The Intel stock cooler is a crappy extruded aluminum part. The Wraith Prism that comes with the 3700X is actually a proper heatsink with heatpipes and high density fin stacks that allow for reasonably efficient cooling (if loud). The performance will be similar to a cheap tower heatsink (e.g. Coolermaster Hyper 212) though a 120mm fan like those used on those heatsinks will be much quieter.

- mhh__ 5y agoWho actually uses stock coolers?
- chockchocschoir 5y agoPresumably most people don't build their own desktop computers (think offices and alike) and those usually use the stock coolers that come with the CPU. At least in my experience.
- elorant 5y agoI do. I don't overclock my rigs, and the stock fan suits me just fine. I rarely have temperatures above 70C.
- s_dev 5y agoMost people.

- PedroBatista 5y agoPeople who don’t buy $300+ CPUs ( which is most people ). Not because they are normies who don’t know better but because they are smart enough to not double their CPU cost with a fancy fan when the stock one works fine. ( at least with AMD )
- mhh__ 5y agoIn which case does it matter that the intel coolers aren't as nice?
