AMD Wraith Cooler

Overview

AMD Wraith is the new cooler that will be bundled with certain CPUs. I have received an FX-8370 and the performance of the new heatsink is very good. It kept the FX at max 61C after overclocking which is excellent.

Nice to see AMD making awesome...

AMD's new stock CPU cooler is a huge upgrade over the company's older model, even if it won't replace the best aftermarket coolers for enthusiasts and overclockers. We just wish it were included with more FX processors (and maybe even some AMD A Series...

Let's get the minor disappointments out of the way first. The first being the lack of new FX model. It would have been nice if AMD had managed to squeeze a little extra out of the 8000 series, maybe a 8390 at 4.5GHz (peak) but that isnt the case. For...

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...

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...

Price The AMD Wraith cooler cannot be purchased on its own so the pricing depends on which CPU you decide to buy. While it might seem a good idea to offer the cooler to loyal AMD fans wanting the revised design, it doesn't make sense given the huge...

Overall, I was definitely impressed with the performance of the AMD Wraith CPU cooler. It was nice for a change to be able to do some mild overclocking right out of the box and not have to worry about a meltdown. The whole experience was pleasant, the...
