1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,680 When you think of the heat sink that comes with a new CPU, you probably 2 00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:09,599 envision a sad little hunk of metal that 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:14,320 doesn't manage to keep your processor that cool in spite of its fan that 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:20,880 sounds like a freaking jet engine. And overclocking, huh, forget about it. 5 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:23,680 Fortunately, AMD has heard the cries of 6 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:29,840 its users who have been plaggued in the past by high temperatures and loud fans 7 00:00:27,599 --> 00:00:36,160 and rolled out a new line of stock coolers for Ryzen called Wraith. Not 8 00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:40,640 only has testing indicated that these coolers deliver pretty solid performance 9 00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:47,680 as long as you're not doing any extreme overclocking, but that they also stay 10 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:50,000 relatively quiet under load. So then now 11 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:54,879 that we have a line of three stock coolers that looks like it's actually 12 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:59,600 better than the 15 pieces of flare bare minimum, let's have a closer look at 13 00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:05,280 each of them and show you how to install them. The smallest of the three is the 14 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:12,240 Wraith Stealth, which comes with Ryzen 3 chips as well as the Ryzen 5400. It's 15 00:01:08,479 --> 00:01:14,960 designed for 65 watt TDP processors and 16 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:20,400 looks strikingly similar to an Intel stock cooler with its low profile and 17 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:28,080 round body. Now, if you step up to any Ryzen 5 chip that does include a cooler 18 00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:31,680 or a Ryzen 7, you will instead get a 19 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:34,320 Wraith Spire, which looks like a taller 20 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:41,759 Stealth. This one is rated to handle up to a 95watt TDP processor and is even 21 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:44,479 useful for modest overclocks. 22 00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:50,000 If you go for the Ryzen 7, your Spire will actually come with an RGB ring that 23 00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:52,079 is customizable with AMD software. The 24 00:01:50,000 --> 00:02:00,079 really heavy hitter of the bunch is the Wraith Max, which boasts 140 watts of 25 00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:02,320 heat dissipation and a heat pipe design, 26 00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:10,560 something we haven't seen much of in the past. It also comes with a programmable 27 00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:12,879 RGB ring. Pretty sexy. Unfortunately, 28 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:18,879 these aren't actually sold with any retail box CPUs, and the only official 29 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:24,239 way to get your hands on one is to buy a pre-built system. So then, there are 30 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:28,879 actually two entirely separate mounting methods here, both of which require 31 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:34,640 thermal compound for your CPU, unless the pre-applied stuff is still on there. 32 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:39,360 If you're installing a Wraith Max or an aftermarket cooler that still uses the 33 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:46,000 classic clips that have been with us since the socket 754 days, you can go 34 00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:48,319 back and watch this really old techie. 35 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:53,920 Or you can just not bother. Position the clip around the mount and just push the 36 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:57,200 lever around and down for a nice secure 37 00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:59,840 fit. If you're using the Spire or the 38 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:04,080 Stealth, you'll need to unscrew the clip mounts, leaving behind a back plate, 39 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:08,480 which comes standard on all AM4 motherboards. Then you just screw in the 40 00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:12,800 four built-in screws on the Stealth or Spire, making sure to use a crisscross 41 00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:18,879 pattern to avoid putting too much pressure on one side of the CPU. Both of 42 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:23,599 them then require plugging your fan into the CPU header on the motherboard. Then, 43 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:30,159 if applicable, you connect the included RGB cable to either a USB 2.0 header or 44 00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:35,519 an RGB header on your motherboard so you can sync with the rest of your system. 45 00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:38,400 And that's it.
