amd AMD Wraith Spire Cooler - Sufficient?

[TobiasD]

Hi Forum,

 

I am building my first high end system (to me) next week. It'll be featuring an AMD 1700, 16GB's of Crucial Ballistix Tactical RAM, ASUS Prime X370 Pro and a GTX 1070, Strix OC from ASUS. 

 

I'm wondering if the Wraith Spire cooler which comes in the 1700's box is sufficient enough for heavy use such as gaming and video editing without getting the CPU over alarming temperatures. Noise I do not care about at the moment, I'm saving up for the H100i so I can overclock it later down the line. 

 

What do you guys think?

it shud do fine , temp readouts are bugget atm ,

if the cpu says like 80c just touch the cooler and see if it actually burns you 

many reviewers stated that the cpu reported 80c , but the cooler was just warm to the touch

 

also the cooler is very silent , it uses the cooler master 92mm fans seen on the flippable AIO they have shown off , definitely quality parts

Interesting, yeah I've heard about those issues. Thanks!

Should be sufficient and similar to Intel factory coolers that come with their CPUs...

My 1700 should arrive next week. I have a bunch of spare AIO coolers lying around, but was planning to just stick with the wraith cooler.

It is only a 65W processor, so I am not concerned at all about the ability of the stock cooler to keep it cool.

Sounds good, I'll use the Wraith Spire until I can purchase something beefier for overclocking. Thanks for the response!
