And maybe, just maybe, this would force Intel's hand, and then the aftermarket CPU cooler industry would have a real problem. The metal waste bins of many PC shops and builders could be looking forward to a lot more empty space, at least as long as the people in question are using AMD processors. After this move by AMD, things will never be quite the same in this arena, especially if the Wraith should gain traction in the market as a free add-on.
This is actually a great bottom line to write about a stock CPU cooler. So, AMD's Wraith isn't as quiet, but it does provide more cooling in certain areas. In the end, the message does have a point: the company's Wraith might be louder than Thermalright's Macho Rev.B, but it also does a better job cooling the motherboard area around the processor. In this context, we'll forgive the overly optimistic statements by AMD's marketing. This includes the RGB on my Wraith Prism CPU cooler, which is governed by the USB cable plugged into the MOBOs usb port (and nothing else besides the power cable) but I ran into something of a problem: At first, I used Mystic Light 3 to set the color on my motherboard leds and my CPU cooler. To be fair, this means that it is in a league of its own when it comes to stock CPU coolers. AMD's Wraith is a well-designed, nicely built and generally solid CPU cooler.
