AMD Readies Ryzen 7 1800X and 1700X Packages with Wraith Max Coolers
AMD launched the retail versions of its flagship Ryzen 7 1800X and second-best Ryzen 7 1700X processors in WOF (without fan-heatsink) boxed packages, similar to how Intel sells unlocked "K" and "X" series processors, such as the Core i5-7600K and Core i7-7700K. The company is giving final touches to newer packages of the two chips that include a stock cooling solution, probably addressing markets in which socket AM4-compatible aftermarket cooling solutions aren't easily available. These packages will include AMD's largest Wraith-series cooler, the Wraith Max.
Wraith Max is the company's largest stock cooling solution, and is a slight upscale of the original Wraith cooler AMD introduced with the FX-8370. It is rated for CPUs with TDP of up to 140W, and so it could make short work of the 95W Ryzen 7 1800X and 1700X chips. It consists of a dense aluminium fin-stack heatsink to which heat drawn from a copper base is conveyed by heat pipes, and ventilated by a large fan. PIB (processor in a box) retail packages of the two chips with Wraith Max will have clear markings on the box, including stylized artwork of the cooler, besides being noticeably heavier. According to ComputerBase.de, the Ryzen 7 1800X Wraith Max is priced at 579€, compared to the WOF (without fan-heatsink) package's 537€ price; while the Ryzen 7 1700X Wraith Max is priced at 460€, compared to the WOF package's 396€ price (all prices include taxes).

What? :confused:
This Wraith is even beefier than the first one, so I expect it to outperform the 212.
That's just me speculating ofc. We'll see soon enough.
What are you talking about. I think you misinterpreted my post, enough with the drugs already :D
I think it's been a long day xD
The cooler is worth keeping.
1600 and 1500X should ship with Wraith Spire w/o LED ring.
1400 should ship with Wraith Stealth w/o LED ring.
At least that is the latest I have seen.
edit: also both spire and stealth will have LED ring, but iirc it won't be RGB, just redish/orange and white LED "AMD" label something like that
