I'm going to have to call out the Cheap vs. Expensive Gaming video

WillOfTheLand

In the video it lists the ryzen 5 2600 as $147 US WITH a wraith prism cooler included and a ryzen 3 2200G with a wraith max included.

 

Not only is the wraith prism or the wraith max not included with anything but the highest tier zen CPU's now (Actually the wraith max is ONLY  sold separately now, not bundled with.) but the 2600 retails at $199 US unless on sale, and if you only meant it as "price of cooler included" in the price, you'd still be adding a additional $40-$60 US onto the price. I noticed this in the opening of the video that they had a wraith prism/a max on them and I thought that just couldn't be right unless they were sticking top tier zen CPU's into each system at which point I would have a hard time seeing how anything except the first one was "cheap".

 

Still love you guys and the video, but this had to be addressed.

I don't think they included them in the prices? Since thermal performance doesn't matter as long as it's not high I can't see the problem

It says (COOLER INCL.) beside the CPU (the 2200G).

Is the image not showing? I know I SC'd the system before before the 2600 but it says cooler included in both systems with the max/prism.

Ok one sec I'l properly save it and post, and actually get the system with the prism/max this time while I'm at it.

oh yeah, but the cooler they put in doesn't affect the build price, i guess they just did it casually

At the lower price range so long as it comes with a cooler, it doesnt really matter which one it is.

Since it does come with a cooler, its fine. Splitting hairs over which particular cooler is somewhat pointless.

 

By the time it should matter for someone which cooler they have, they should have the money in the budget to buy an aftermarket one anyway.

Yeah, the PC physically had the Prism, but a 2600 will work without an issue even with a small OC on the stock Wraith Stealth that does come with it. And they stated at the start of the video that they weren't overclocking, so it's a pedantic issue at best.

 

I'm pretty sure my purpose in life is to serve as a warning for others.
