New CPU Cooler needed perhaps, recommendations?

Xiauj

@PCGuy_5960 @DocSwag Hello again ^_^

Quick question, is the Wraith cooler included with the Ryzen 1600 CPU in terms of noise and performance better than the Shadow Rock 2 ..? Do they have a lot of better differences and which one would you choose, overall?

 

I'm waiting on my parts to arrive and I'm a little bit bored and so I decided to take a look at some videos of the Wraith Cooler, see what its like and if its better and to be honest, I can't really tell. Some say it's much better but some also say that it's a repeat of AMD's previous stock coolers so.. I was wondering if you guys perhaps had some advice xD

 

Part of me feels that like, the Shadow Rock 2 will be better in terms of noise but I dunno. Suggestions?

Also because the Wraith cooler would be sitting on the CPU whilst facing the window-panel then pushing the air to the rear of the case

Hey I'm Xiauj ^_^ Wassup :3

I would say the shadow rock 2 is a bit better. It's a bit close but I'd still say SR2.

The spire is close to 212 evo in performance which is a bit behind the SR2

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Aah I see, thank you for that DocSwag :D

Btw, if you haven't seen my status-updates, TLDR..: I was in the process of changing my 8350's cooler from the stock cooler to the SR2 but.. something happened and so I kinda decided to get Ryzen lol, so ya this topic was for my 8350 CPU buuut... now its for Ryzen instead, HYPE! xD

Oh good :D

Just thought I'd check that's all because of some guys who like I said have said in a video that its better and some say its apparently a repeat of the previous gen stock coolers sooo ya, good to know that it should hopefully be quieter! That's more or less the main goal here lol.

 

It's gonna be a pain to install but it will be worth it. I hope.

Just gotta wait for them to arrive now :P
