Wraith Cooler

[Schraufabagel]

Is the included cooler for a Ryzen 7 1700 chip enough to cool it at 4.0 ghz? Or am I better off getting a different air cooler?

Depends on how good the silicon is. It may or may not be enough.

Its enough but might not be the most silent solution

No harm giving it a try

That Wraith isn't the best, but for a stock cooler? It's fantastic. Heh, you can grab Intel stock heatsink/fans new for $5 usd. Yikes they are awful (Except the old giant ones they used to use on Xeons. Those kicked ass. 2.7" per side and 5" tall beasts) I honestly don't know if they were stock, I just see them on a lot of old Xeon/Intel Mobo combo packages on eBay.

Well maybe, my 1600 maxes out to 73°C @ 3.8GHz and 1.3125V during AIDA64 stability test. I'm happy with this overclock and I'm only buying a NH-D15 to keep the noise to a minimum, not that the Spire is super loud but I want to Handbreak overnight and my desktop is in my bedroom...

 

Btw. you will have to run the cpu fan at 100% on the Spire over 70°C if overclocking.
