Now with Zen around the corner it not surprising that AMD is finally pulling the ageing old stock cooler in favour of a new design

 

This new design will be called the Wraith Cooler and promises improvements in thermals and noise

 

 

This cooler is bigger than their previous design and features a larger fan, which runs at a much lower speed and provides a higher static pressure in order to keep this heatsink much cooler than it's older generation counterpart. 

 

This heatsink is expected to be bundles with high end CPUs and APUs from AMD's Bristol Ridge and Zen ranges of CPUs, giving AMD users a much better stock cooler experience before they more to larger aftermarket coolers for overclocking. 

 

AMD has released a video demonstrating the new cooler in action

Looks like their old cooler, but the AMD logo is now etch to the side, unlike their current one where its just a cheap sticker that's crooked. :P

When it comes to stock coolers, I like AMD ones.

Now if they revealed real performance numbers as compared to Skylake or Haswell, that would be interesting. Coolers? I think it's fine, but most people will replace them anyway with aftermarket solutions, because face it - it's pretty loud anyway.

Looks nice, AMD's stock coolers usually are a bit better than Intels. But they both still stuck pretty hard.

that's because they need to be better, heheheheeheheheheheheheheh eh

reading your post i expected a nice 92 or 120mm cooler on that spinning nice and quiet...

 

nope, still more noisy than my stock intel under torture...

 

Well I did clearly say *promises*. I have no clue when it comes to CPU coolers since I don't own a tower.

You do understand that the noise levels were increased to show the difference? Do you really think AMD stock cooler sounds like a leaf blower?

Yeah it does seem like they made it push 100% fan speeds.

I've seen the old cooler reach RPM of over 6000. If the new one tops at around 2000, it will be good.

If they showed the RPMs too it would have been more informative.

well, 2016 is already gonna be the year of the SSD, so maybe 2017 can be the year of amd's comeback.

Yeah.  They'll probably get above Ivy-bridge IPC, around Haswell.  They'll have to have some aggressive pricing.
