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).

About the Hyper212 being better thing, this has RGB which would cool your cpu by 30° more than non rgb coolers. Seriously, this thing looks awesome if you have a windowed/tempered panel than a 212.
P.S. Gigabyte teasing the GA-AX370-Gaming-K7 page with special EK 4-pin pump & fan headers, think i'mma jump from ASUS to Gigabyte's bandwagon for my AM4 build. :)
*EDIT*
HSF 140W thermals ceiling! I still haven't fully recovered from yesterday, the job i have is quite nerve wrecking to say the least. lol Cheers.
Well yes but isnt the issue one of absolute operating temps?
ought we not see synthesised statements in spec sheets saying e.g.?
"At room temp ttt, our cooler will maintain a xxx chip consuming yyy watts at or below zzz degrees"
That is the comparative bottom line for performance tweakerS premium cooler purchases.
Yes, air can do the job, but to go a few degrees lower, you need liquid or similar (compressed air jet supplement?)
just being the devils advocate.
it seems very pertinent now w/ ryzen - the auto, dynamic overclocking is very good, and relies on ~hundreds? of temp sensors thru out the cpu. ie - if ~any of its many processors is cool enough, it can be overclocked. A few degrees could make a big difference to throughput.
Oh and apparently, the spire LED ring isn't even red only, i just saw a video where it's blue
From one of the sites:
The 4th type of cooler is Wraith Spire but the guy called zeroshujin says it has no LED.
And The guy called Kuyi says it has no RGB (so it has a LED ring).
:confused::confused::confused:
Anything that matches the HAF X's colors is preferred, either GA-AX370-Gaming-K7 or Fatal1ty X370 Prof. Gaming fits the bill nicely.
Anyway, yeah - HAF X + Gigabyte's or ASRock's X370/AM4 mobo + Wraith Max + all the rest = Who's put the entire Slayer band playing "Raining Blood" inside the rig? lol Cheers.
(I'm also very picky with my fans these days having had cheap ball-bearings go bad on me and make awful noises)
