According to my measurements, the Wraith Max has the same design structure as the original Wraith Cooler. The more expensive Ryzen 7 2700X is the only model to come with the fancy looking Wraith Prism and it's the only 105 watt TDP part, so it does call for a beefier cooler, this model weighs in at 580 grams. First, we have the small Wraith Stealth (65W TDP) which is bundled with the Ryzen 5 1400 processor, then there's the Wraith Spire (95W TDP) After that, you should be all set to install your RGB lighting utility and start customizing the lighting of your cooler. On the left, you have the installation process for the Wraith Max and on the right it's for the Wraith Spire.

Moving to the Wraith Spire increased the load temperature by 6 degrees and although the CPU is now running hotter the fan speed for the Spire only maxed out at 1700 RPM so the operating volume was much the same. VRM temps also remained much the same. As someone who isn't a big fan of flashy LED lights, I appreciated the simplicity of the Thermaltake TOUGHAIR 510, which doesn't have any fancy lights but still looks great in my system. The Thermal Design Power (TDP) rating of a CPU cooler refers to its ability to dissipate heat in watts. It is crucial to select a CPU cooler with a TDP that matches or exceeds the peak TDP of the Ryzen 5 5600G for efficient heat management.On the screenshot, the CPU temperature reached 83°C. Great! The Wraith Stealth cooler is able to dissipate all the heat produced by the Ryzen 7 5800X. The Ryzen 7 5800X is shipped in a box that has enough room for a CPU cooler… But instead of a CPU cooler, you have this: a piece of cardboard. With the release of the Ryzen processors, AMD has also released a new line of Wraith Coolers which feature incredibly 92mm quiet fans, customizable RGB lighting and improved cooling performance.

We test CPUs using a variety of synthetic benchmarks that offer proprietary scores, as well as real-world tests using consumer apps like 7-Zip, and 3D games such as Far Cry 5 and Rainbow Six: Siege. Included in the charts below is a variety of like-priced competing and sibling AMD and Intel CPUs. CPU-Centric Tests An important benchmarking-results and performance note: This is a different testbed than we used with other AMD Ryzens we've reviewed to date, as, according to AMD, the Ryzen 5 5600G and Ryzen 7 5700G are compatible with only four motherboards at launch: The Ryzen 5 5600G's PPT limit is 88 watts, which can be reached at its max boost frequency of 4.4 GHz. At its base frequency of 3.9 GHz, the Ryzen 5 5600G's base TDP is 65 watts. First up I measured peak temperatures after 30 minutes of gameplay during our Overwatch bot match stress test. Using the Wraith Prism saw the 2600 peak at just 47 degrees which is very cool and the VRM never exceeded 43 degrees, these are exceptional temperatures for a reasonably heavy gaming load, speaking of which CPU utilization hovers around 50% in this test. Because of these low temps the Prism fan never spun faster than 1600 RPM and at that speed it's virtually silent. We made sure there were as few processes running as possible by disabling a bunch of unnecessary services that come with Windows 10.

The Ryzen 7 5800X is a 105W TDP processor. Even if the Wraith Stealth has been developed for a 65W TDP CPU, let’s see if it can cool a 105W TDP CPU. However, if you rely on both a GPU and CPU working in tandem to bring your content to life most effectively, the Editors' Choice-winning Ryzen 7 5800X continues to take on (and slay) all comers in its respective price tier. Idle temperatures will be measured after leaving the computer idle for 20 minutes. CPU-Z will be used to verify the CPU speed and the voltage being used in Windows 10. Also, the coolers are tested with the default settings (Turbo, C1E etc) enabled in the BIOS. All of the testing is done with an ambient temperature of ~22C. RealTemp will be used to monitor the temperature of the CPU.

AMD has stated that the new coolers utilize a new spring-screw clamping mechanism which is supposed to make the installation process much easier. With a 180-watt TDP (Thermal Design Power), the TOUGHAIR 510 offers solid cooling performance and is a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable and efficient cooling solution for their CPU. It's worth looking at that in light of the Ryzen 7 5700G's price. AMD's last buyable flagship APU, the Ryzen 5 3400G, at list price came in at less than half the introductory price of the 5700G. That puts the Ryzen 7 5700G in an interesting niche in the mainstream CPU market. Eight cores isn't a bad thing to have at this price point, of course, but when considering the most popular use cases for these types of chips, six-core options like the Ryzen 5 5600G may make sense for that broader audience. (Photo: Chris Stobing) Then with the cooler that comes with the 2600, the Wraith Stealth we see temps hit 72 degrees and now we're getting up there. Ideally you don't want temps going too far beyond 70 degrees for prolonged use. That said you could increase the fan speed for better results as even the Stealth was spinning at just 2000 RPM. I should note though that the Spire and Stealth do a good job of pushing air over the motherboard's VRM.
