Product Information

Then Ryzen 7 2700 and Ryzen 5 2600X get the Wraith Spire, this model tips the scales at 372 grams making it 36% lighter, but it still sports a copper slug in the base. Then we have the non-X 2600 that gets the little Wraith Stealth weighing in at just 317 grams making it 15% lighter than the Spire and a whopping 45% lighter than the Prism. If you're installing the Wraith Prism cooler into an existing system, and you previously removed the old CPU cooler, you want to make sure the top of the CPU is clean of any old thermal paste (or general dust and debris). Use a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol if you need to wipe off any thermal paste residue from the previous cooler. That's assuming you bought the Wrath Prism brand new (whether by buying a CPU that came with it, or buying the cooler separatelyas new). If you bought a second-hand Wraith Prism that's already been used, it may not have the pre-applied paste on the bottom, in which case you will need to apply thermal paste to the top of the CPU yourself.

In both Handbrake and Blender, the Ryzen 7 7700 is once again significantly slower than the Core i7-12700K and the Core i5-13600K. Things are slightly better in POV-Ray 3.7, but the best that can be said for the Ryzen 7 7700 there is that it doesn't lose by quite as large of a margin in the single-threaded test. Of course, when using the box coolers the AIO won't be used, but I like how this case comes with four 140mm fans pre-installed, though they are all configured as exhaust fans so I'd recommend installing a few front mounted in-take fans. For this test though I went with the limited air-flow setup as the point of testing inside a case and not on the testbed is to more realistically simulate the conditions you would be using these air-coolers. Arctic distinguishes the Liquid Freezer II 120 via its top-notch after-sales support strengthened by an extensive 6-year warranty. When taking the stellar value for money into consideration, the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 120 cements itself as the Best 120mm AIO for Ryzen 7 3700X. Verdict Running Blender for an hour increases the Wraith Prism load temperature to 57 degrees. That's a 10 degree increase over what we saw when gaming. The fan speed also increased to 2000 RPM but even here the Prism was still basically silent. This time the Wraith Spire was 8 degrees hotter than the Prism as temps hit 65 degrees, though that's still very cool by all accounts and again the fan only spun at 2000 RPM.Also, if you’re an RGB fanatic, you may need to read our guide on how to connect RGB fans to your motherboard. Changing AMD Wraith Prism RGB On Linux and Mac For Ryzen 5 2600 owners it will net you Wraith Prism-like performance when gaming though it's worth noting that the 120mm fan does a much better job of cooling the VRM on our X470 board. The Gammaxx 200T also appears to be a decent upgrade option for R5 2600X and R7 2700 owners. Fan choice: any two fans optimized for static pressure with high CFM. SP 120s are solid and so are some of the Scythes, try to get some with at least 70 CFM or more.

Last but not least, the Castle 240EX is sporting DeepCool’s revolutionary Anti-Leak technology, which helps maintain a systematically automated pressure balance, significantly reducing the chances of fluid leakage and improving componential safety. Who is this for In the end, the cooler is still one of the best in the market, due to the price being up to the standard. The RGB features are incredible and really add to the aesthetic. In addition, Performance is good, the acoustics are well, and the fans provide nice cooling. Similarly, the Anti-Leak Technology helps in preventing leakage, and the sublime RGB features especially makes Deepcool Castle 240ex the Best RGB Cooler For Ryzen 7 3700x. With that statement, AMD seems to confirm that this is not a simple case of edited images making the rounds, but of actual illegitimate products "entering the market." When CLC pump fails you have no cooling so system cannot be used until new cooler is installed. If air cooler fan dies cooler still works at low load, and any fan can be held on with rubber bands until replacement fan is in hand.Even the Best CPU Coolers for Ryzen 7 3700X will differentiate from each other in terms of operational efficiency. That’s why it’s crucial to choose a CPU Cooler with the capacity (and some extra clearance) to capably cool down your entire PC alongside the CPU without needing to induce thermal throttling to maintain satisfactory temperatures. One buying tip we should remind you of is to consider your budget. Some of these high-end AIO liquid coolers are very expensive (at least the ones under a reliable brand), but they’re Performance heavy and keep your components extra chill. Buy them only if you have money to spare. On the other hand, Air Coolers are pretty efficient for cooling the Ryzen 7 3700x, and they’re also very cheap compared to liquid coolers. You can always invest in them if you’re on a tight budget. Ryzen 7 3700x CPU Cooler Compatibility Skipping past 3DMark, which is a synthetic test and not indicative of real-world performance, in F1 22, the Ryzen 7 7700 is 5% faster than the Ryzen 9 7950X and the Ryzen 7 7700X at all resolutions. This is a small lead and one that would hardly be worth mentioning if it weren’t for the significantly lower price of the Ryzen 7 7700 than those two aforementioned CPUs. None of the rest of the tests shows more than a 2% difference among the three Ryzen 7000-series chips. These aren't big margins and for those who care about productivity performance will find these non-X CPUs to make a lot more sense, given they're significantly more efficient and operate at much lower temperatures. The design of the cooler has some perks of its own. Aluminum is used to reduce the overall density of the radiator while simultaneously increasing the airflow. The RGB is a huge feature when talking about the aesthetic of the cooler. RGB lights on the fans can be controlled with either an Aerocool P7-H1 RGB Controller or 4-pin RGB headers on the motherboard. You can choose from a wide range of colors to match with your other computer components. Aerocool P7 L240 RGB Photo From Our Review.

For gamers the 7700 also beats the 13700K in terms of value, offering a similar level of performance at a lower price point. But if productivity is a priority, then ignore that as the 13700K might be the faster option depending on the workload. As far as value for money goes, this cooler does sit at a slightly cheaper price than some others, and it performs pretty well within that price range. The cooler takes away heat pretty well, but where it shines is in keeping temperatures regulated. The RGB is a great feature of this cooler with the incredibly pleasing-to-look-at digital and boi CF120 RGB fans. The 16.7M RGB flowing light system offers a wide variety of color combinations. The radiator has an improved reactor-looking design and infinity mirror glass on the sides, which adds to the aesthetic and overall build quality. The coolers will also be tested inside the DeepCool New Ark 90, a large full ATX case that comes with an all-in-one liquid cooler pre-installed. Hope this helps.

Specifications

But you can also see why AMD went about things the way they did. These non-X parts don't look nearly as impressive on a graph when compared to Intel 13th-gen range. The 7700X is just a few frames slower than the 13900K and finds itself in second place, the 7700 which is just a few percent slower is a mid-field contender in this graph, trailing the 13700K by a slim margin.

The fans have an RPM ranging from 600 – 1800 RPM with a noise output of 31.8dbA. The thermal cooling capacity or TDP is 380W, which is plenty for cooling your 3700x. But you only need to connect one of these cables for the lighting to work on the cooler. It's not recommended to plug both in because they can work against each other. Which cable you connect though depends on how you'll be controlling the RGB lighting of the Wraith Prism, and whether or not you have an RGB header on your motherboard (not to be confused with ARGB headers which are different). Whether you use the RGB cable or the USB cable, you can have control over the lighting, but using the USB cable along with this Cooler Master software allows you the most control over the lighting. An Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition graphics card was also installed in the system and used for most tests. It worked as the GPU in all gaming tests except those focused on the integrated graphics portion of the processor, and it also served as the display adapter for all non-graphics-related tests. The RGB specially offers a wide lighting range and settings to match exactly with your case’s aesthetic. The noise levels are also very low for two fans, and the design is innovative in providing nice airflow to your other computer components. You can’t exclusively control the AMD Wraith Prism RGB through Razer Chroma. However, if you have any Razer peripherals, you can sync their RGB with your AMD Wraith Prism cooler.

The unit I'm using currently has seen near continuous use since the beginning of 2016 and it still works like new. As does my wifes H60. They will be 4 years old soon and work fine, but my system gets dusted once a week, and every 6 mo. or so I remove it totally and take the fans off and clean it out. The Performance delivered by this giant unit is incredible. The 3 fans running at 1800 RPM really impact the Performance with their huge cooling capacity and not much noise. The noise production with all 3 fans combined is just 26dbA, which is extremely low. Overall, the design and build are very nicely put together, especially the RGB on the fans. The aesthetics of the cooler are top-notch from our perspective. Below are benchmarks for Xigmatek Aurora 360 – comparing other Coolers For Ryzen 7 3700x.
