Should I buy AMD Wraith Prism?

Gents.

I use the Prism on a 14700K and it'll do 5.6ghz and spike that 100c temp.

A very capable cooler for sure.

If anyone wants to get rid of Wraith coolers, find my PM/DM box. I'll take them

During covid there was a builder selling them unused for $20 on ebay and I had snatched a handful of them after a client requested one. I still see them often on ebay for $20-25 because a lot of builders just resell them.

That all copper thermalright is pretty nice down drafter but a bit more pricey and doesn't have the mirage effect which my clients love.

I wouldn't want prism myself because they are such a bitch to clean.

huh, No.
Go for one of Thermalright's offerings instead. Even a lowly Assassin x120 will best a Wraith Prism. The Peerless Assassin or Phantom Spirit will run circles around the Wraith Prism.

The fan pops right off with a flat head.... and slap it in the dishwasher without the wife catching me. I physically don't clean them at all. Lol.

I have an old Opteron heatpipe cooler. It's got a copper plate instead of naked heatpipes. The cool about the same and the fan clips onto the opteron heat pipe cooler too!

But the cooler seems to manage up to about 200w or so.

So 14700K 8C 16T at 5800-5900mhz. 1.35v
12400F, over the weekend benching 5200mhz+ 1.40v
13700K 5.4ghz 16C at max. 1.35v

Give or take depending on ambient and v-core.

And that's unmounted by the way. It's just sitting on there!!! :O

have ryzen 5 3600x i buy amd wraith prism ?

I wouldn't bother. I'd get something more decent like a mid-range tower cooler, or a large, high-performance downdraft cooler, like the be quiet! Dark Rock TF2, depending on use case. That wouldn't only cool the CPU, but also keep noise levels down.
