Will an AMD Wraith Cooler cool an R7 7800x3d sufficiently?

Posted by AlexUncrafted@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 2 comments

I'm planning to take advantage of the Micro Center CPU, MOBO, RAM, bundle to upgrade to AM5 and DDR5. My question is, will my Wraith Cooler be enough to keep the CPU cool enough until I can get a better cooler? It's older, but it keeps my R5 3600 cool, and I just like the look of them.

Planning to try another AIO watercooler soon.

If anyone else stumbles across this thread asking the same question, the answer is "barely" :)

I'm waiting on a new mounting kit for my existing cooler and have thrown a Wraith Stealth on in the meantime (had it lying around from another build).

Current Idle temp is 73C with my case fans on max. That said, I'm also just using some generic thermal compound, so could probably have dropped a degree or two with something decent.

So, basically you can turn it on.

EDIT actually now its about 65C, must have been running some tasks in the background earlier, though usage wasn't particularly high at the time.

If anyone stumbles upon this comment, the ryzen 5 3600x which OP was referring to, is a wraith spire, not a wraith stealth. The spire is bigger and better
