AMD 7 2700x with AMD Wraith Prism (Should I use it?)

[suha04]

Hi mates!

 

I am currently using an AeroCool Cylon 4 CPU cooler with my processor, but I just realized that for almost the same amount of money, I could have bought a better one. I don't really want to swap my cooler until I know from the experienced ones, are the Prism temps good, If I don't overclock? If yes, how much are those in idle and under load?

 

Thank you!

so you have a cooler and you want to buy a new stock cooler?

unless you're having issues i wouldn't suggest swapping it out, and if you do then i would suggest something like a noctua d15 or the Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4.

but those are overkill for a 2700x anyway,

i use a cryorig h7 for mine and under very heavy cpu stresstesting it can go up to 90°C, but that's also because of my poor airflow in my case.

for normal gaming it never hits the 70°C and is floating around 4-4.3 Ghz

Just to clarify, I don't want to buy a stock, I got one with my CPU, I just didn't tried it because I ordered a Cooler at the same time, and I just wanted to know if it can overcome the 39C in idle

 

Thanks for the answer by the way!

BTW, what power plan are you using?

default.

and if your cpu is 39C° idle then you have no issues at all, in fact it's better than most cpu's

my cpu during idle is at the high 40C° low 50C°

if you were curious about the temps with the stock cooler, i would suggest trying it (if you have enough thermal paste to possibly re paste the cpu twice).

but you don't have any issues with the current one so i would just keep the stock cooler as a spare just in case your curren one breaks, that's what i did

not completely relevant, but my 1600 @ 3.9ghz/1.38v is perfectly cool with the Prism.

I use the Wraith Prism stock cooler with my Lidless PGA 2700X completely and totally issue free.

Thank you all for these answers! In that case, I'm going to keep it as a spare one. Have a great day guys!

I use the Wraith Spire on a 3600 and it's totally OK. CPU almost never exceeds 70C in workloads or gaming, looks cool with the RGB ring, and is cheap.
