AMD have revealed their new Wraith CPU Stock Cooler, a cooler which is both cooler and quieter than AMD's older designs.

Read more on AMD's new Wraith stock CPU cooler.

Wraith? wtf copyright!

 

[Thelosouvlakia]

AMD still retains the cooler compatibility with older generations, again!!

Also... wooooooow that's kind of THE audible difference

 

[Feronix]

Poor Wraith, now all newbies are going to think he named himself after an AMD cooler

 

[AlienALX]

I'd be honored if they named a cooler after me. Unfortunately **** probably wouldn't be appropriate. (C word)

Great news for small time builders or anyone needing a solid cooler for short peak loads/non OC'ed gaming rigs!

Let's not forget system integrator.

Whooo hooo! I'm gonna be rich I tells thee, some ones getting sued! Plus it'll never be as cool as me

EDIT: Thought so, very much the same cooler they bundled with the Athlon 64 X2 6000+.

Lol. Wraith is turning into the new Asetek

WraithTek coming to a Kickstarter project soon :lol:

I'd back that.

lol
As for the cooler, £10 says it is the exact same with a 7v resistor in the shroud. Considering they are attempting to half their TDP it would make sense.

 

[Thelosouvlakia]

To be fair with AMD their stock heatpiped cooler is so much better than Intel's one

 

[Tolemac]

Don't worry Wraith buddy it was only a matter of time

 

[Permafrost]

WraithTek coming to a Kickstarter project soon :lol:

I'll also back that

 

[Kushiro]

Likewise.

Let's hope that this change in CPU cooler design has not been prompted by how hot their new Zen CPU cores run as we certainly do not want another Volcano CPU from AMD, especially given how cool Intel CPUs run these days.

Or this push could be due to the TDP improvements made in Zen. A new, more efficient cooler could be the perfect compliment to this. Just so AMD can boast to OEMs in order to get some new partnership deals, or even just the publicity such an improvement would bring.

I guess we'll see soon enough.

I wonder if it will be worth picking up for a vishera chip over a 212 evo for $40 cad

Honestly depends on the price of these coolers on the retail market. If they're even going to be available for a while.

212 is a very nice cooler and I would highly recommend it. It is excellent value for money.
No cooler designed to be shipped with a processor will out-class anything but the super-cheap aftermarket coolers.

intel CPUs run cool? Would you say that about haswell? not familiar with skylake but from my experience intel CPUs are hotter than AMD nowadays
