OK, so i think get it. there will be no major differences between the wraith and an aftermarket cooler with stock clock settings, but when trying to overclock and push the cpu further, I will see a larger margin between the two coolers' performance. Is that correct?

Ok. I guess I won't worry about it. Just another question but would buying a better fan, perhaps a noctua, help increase the temps, or would it a make a small difference that isn't worth it?

I actually set it to always run at 100% no matter the temps, so my fan is always reporting that it is running at about 1200RPM.

I don't think that 67 °C is hot, but I think it should be doing better with a mugen 5 rev b. These are about the temps that some people have said they are getting with the stock wraith cooler.

I just put my pc together yesterday and I have a ryzen 2600x along with a msi x470 gaming plus motherboard. I have installed a mugen 5 rev. B and use the pea sized drop of thermal past on the cpu during installation. I am getting 40-50 °C during idle reports from Hwinfo, Ryzen Master, MSI control center, and MSI afterburner. It then reads 60-70°C when i start to play any game. I even had a game in the main menu, using 7% cpu power, and the temps shot to 67°C.Does anyone know if these temps are normal with a Mugen 5? I figured they would be better, but perhaps I didn't install it correctly or the motherboard isn't giving the correct temps. Thanks for any help.
