A M D Wraith Spire RGB LED Light Socket AM4 4-Pin Connector CPU Cooler with Copper Core Base & Aluminum Heatsink & 3.81-Inch Fan

It baffles me why AMD doesn’t use this as the standard cooler for their Ryzen CPUs over the Stralth. Like make a non-LED version even.I have a Ryzen 5 2600 in my system and the stealth I had with it seemed acceptable. Until I installed this.With the Stralth, under full load I was hitting upwards of 80c, sometimes higher depending on ambient temps. I thought this was normal but after researching and finding out that the Spire and above models had some features the Stralth lacked, I picked this one up.Now one gripe is apparently there are 2 versions? A 5 “long blade” version and then a “short blade” version that has 7. The picture led me to believe I’d be getting a short blade version as supposedly these move more air. But upon receiving the item it was the long blade version. I was slightly miffed but it is what it is.Installation is probably a lot easier outside of a case but I decided to do it the hard way and install it in-case. Even while in-case it was fairly easy to swap the coolers. Also it uses the same mounting platform as the Stealth so no weird adjustments need to be made for installation.Performance wise. Oh man. Night and day. I do have a slightly more aggressive fan cooling profile set up on my system, full load testing showed temps would not go higher than 68c. This was amazing compared to the Stealth.Finally onto the LED lighting. While not a high priority, I do appreciate the lit AMD logo. I installed the cable backwards originally because my mobo manual used no references to board relativity of the connectors but after correcting this it worked fine. The ring is nice and currently I have it cycling colors to match my peripherals and other case fans.Overall I thoroughly recommend this fan over the basic Stealth. The results I have show it’s a clear winner when it comes to cooling and the fact it mounts to the same platform setup as a Stealth means it’s an easy change. I really wish AMF would come up with a solution like this to replace the Stealth.

Update 2020-11-30: I bought a second Wraith Spire from this vendor for another Ryzen 5 3600 build. The second unit appears also to be new, with thermal paste intact, and has been operating flawlessly for several days. I am very satisfied with this product and this vendor.Just finished my first Ryzen 5 3600 build (65 Watts TDP), and noticed that the included stock Wraith Stealth cooler allowed the CPU to get to 86C under 100% CPU load. Anything over 80C is bad for the longevity of the CPU, so I upped my case fan count from two to four. That had no measurable effect, so I installed this Wraith Spire cooler, since it's designed to dissipate an additional 30 Watts of TDP (e.g., it's paired with the Ryzen 5 3600X, which has 95 Watts TDP). Now the CPU temperature tops out at 78C (just barely below the maximum acceptable limit). I guess that's good enough for me, so this is a keeper. BTW, all my CPU stress tests were done in a temperature controlled room maintained at 74F.

Very good cooler keeps my ryzen 3600 temps to 60s to 70s under full load! rgb look great with the inwin a1 plus case.

Good Product but didn't fit. Make sure you have an AMD motherboard for this. Duh.

Works as intended although it was a little hard to install for me as this was my first PC build and an ITX one. Wasn’t loud for me in an open case and from the PC’s location I doubt I’d hear it. This is cooling an Ryzen 5— 3600 idle temps around 55-63 Celsius @ stock, tweaked process power min and max, now around 30’s Celsius @ idle. Haven’t tried under load yet. The RGB is great but sometimes doesn’t match exact color on the RAM using Aura sync. Overall, I think it’s a great cooler as a starting point for a PC build.

Although it was supposed to be new, the item I received clearly was not. The packaging was damaged on the inside and outside. The heatsink was missing the circular copper plate that is supposed to come with this model. Finally, the heat compound had debris all over it. Including a tiny piece of glass. Didn't bother to install in my PC. Didn't want to risk damaging my system.

The cooler arrived damagedReturned immediately.

The box is completely generic, when I got mine I was afraid it was damaged as the interior packaging seemed aged and brittle (The unit itself looked fine). Removed the pre-applied thermal paste (Just in case it was as old as the packaging), put some Artic Silver thermal paste, installed it and up to now it has been working good.
