AMD Ryzen CPU Coolers Pictured – New Wraith, 95W & 65W Versions
The CPU coolers for AMD’s upcoming Ryzen lineup have been pictured.
AMD’s President and CEO Lisa Su confirmed that Ryzen will be released
in early March. It was later confirmed that the release date is in fact
set for March 2nd. The new line-up starting with the $499 Ryzen 7 1800X
and ending with the Ryzen 3 1100 includes 17 different models. Four
octo-core CPUs, three hexa-cores and six quad-cores. All Ryzen chips
feature fully unclocked multipliers, making every one of them
overclocking-ready right out of the box. AMD’s 8 core Ryzen 7 1800X will
turbo all the way to 4.0GHz, paired with a high quality cooling unit
there’s no telling how high these chips will overclock.

This brings us neatly to AMD’s two brand new boxed coolers for Ryzen
in addition to what appears to be an aesthetic update to the beloved
Wraith cooler which debuted last year. The first of the three will come
with 65W rated Ryzen CPUs, the second is for 95W CPUs and the third will
likely be paired with Ryzen Black Editions. Black Edition are said to
have the letter X at the end of their model numbers, like the 1800X and
the 1700X for example.This is merely educated conjecture at this point.
We won’t know for sure until the end of the month.
If the photo of AMD’s Chief Graphics Architect Raja Koduri is
anything to go by, all three new coolers will feature LED lighting.
Perhaps even customizable RGB lighting. Seeing how magenta is not AMD’s
corporate or brand color, it’s likely that Raja chose that custom
color. It also appears from the rendering that the two smaller coolers
actually have the same 92mm fan that comes with the Wraith, which is
very good news. The new fan is significantly quieter than its small
noisy predecessor.
The Wraith cooler features four copper heatpipes, the largest thermal
mass by far of any stock processor heatsink that we’ve seen and a near
silent fan that’s considerably larger and more more effective than any
of AMD’s previous stock CPU cooling solutions. In fact, you wouldn’t be
able to guess that the Wraith unit is a stock CPU heatsink rather than a
high-end aftermarket low profile unit had it not been for the AMD
branding on the shroud.
