AMD Wraith Cooler

The Wraith has been announced by AMD as being a quiet cooler. It is only partially true: if you configure, on your motherboard setup (if the cooler fan is connected to it), the cooler fan speed on automatic mode with a quiet profile, the Wraith will be...

The Wraith's fan shroud features an LED-illuminated logoThe Wraith is a significant upgrade over AMD's outgoing thermal solution, offering lower noise and improved thermal performance. It isn't the quietest cooler I've tested, but inside of a case the...

The Wraith is being bundled as a stock cooler and it doesn't cost $75 or more like a quality after-market CPU cooler. It isn't going to give you the same result as a premium product like a Noctua cooler. Given that the Wraith makes one-tenth of the...

Testing will be conducted by comparing the FX 6350 CPU operating at the base clock frequency and then at turbo mode speed, running Prime95 to obtain stress readings for both temperature and fan speed at Idle and Load for each mode. Readings will include...
