idea Intel CPU vs AMD Ryzen cooler

[quickhakker]

So this idea came from talking about Intel systems with a friend and how not good Intel stock coolers are, and a part of me thought "well how good are AMD stock coolers, so the thought of rigging a stock ryzen cooler to an intel board (and vice versa for comparason) came to mind just to see how good AMD coolers are and how poor intel coolers are. Who do i know of that would be crazy enough to do that? LINUS so im giving you guys at ltt the idea, if you want to make it into a video be my guest, also if any fans want to try it on there own in case it doesnt get picked up by ltt then feel free to do so

Does Intel even include coolers with their higher tier CPU anymore? I think they just stopped doing it because they are so bad.

 

 

EDIT: Also, here's a thread for Video Suggestions:

You mean what hardware unboxed did 5 months ago?

 

 

Dont think the stealth cooler has changed, the wraith has tho. Cant check to see if they tested both.

Without looking at the above video, my experiences are:

Intel coolers do run CPUs hot, but a large part of this is due to using paste under IHS. Do a LM and temps drop a LOT. I've got one on a 6600k stock and temps are fine under prime95 like workloads. BTW that's with an older copper core one, the newer ones seem to have moved to all aluminium, so may be a bit worse.

 

AMD coolers, the Prism looks nice but seems to cool worse than a Spire when I've used it. They're fine for older Ryzen CPUs but Zen 2 runs so close to the limit I don't consider any of these adequate.

In my experience, the Stealth is only barely better than the non copper intel cooler. The Spire is adequate for most R5 models but it can't really cool the 3000 series R7/9. The Prism is fine unless you are pushing a 3950X to do heavy work. The 3700X/3900X are fine on a Prism Albert a bit louder for the 3900X

thats the amd stock with amd cpu's what if you could get the amd cpus on intel coolers and vice versa?

They're all Wraith coolers. I think the only one that has changed is the Spire to a shorter heatsink with a higher rpm fan for similar performance but slightly higher noise.

The 3xxx series' Spire is also all aluminum, instead of the copper vapor chamber on earlier models. 

Hardware Unboxed did a video. So that's where the fan increase came from to maintain temps.
