Wraith Prism on a 5700X3d CPU

[Zeebedy]

will a Wraith Prism cool a 5700X3d well enough? I ask as I love the aesthetic of the cooler..but not sure about cooling on a chip like this?

Should be fine as the chip only hits around 80w max despite the 105W TDP.

thanks, its a little loud, but that doesn't bother me much.

I have a 5700X3D on a wraith stealth cooler and it's completely adequate for gaming at default OOTB settings.

Thanks for the input.

I will be running at stock, so that’s great to hear about the temps!!

Running my wraith prism in this chip. I am seeing low 70s on average and peak or maximum of about 79-81 degrees..

Is this still safe operating temps for the cpu?

By "on average", what kind of load are we talking? The same question with the peak/maximum.

I’m not sure. Just general gaming.

I will try some monitoring to get more info together.

Low 70s is fine for gaming on stock settings with the stock cooler.

I ended up getting a 360mm AIO for the chip. Its made a huge difference to the temps! I miss the aesthetics of the WP though, but the cooler still looks good and when under load the PC is WAY WAY quieter than the WP blasting away!

Unpopular opinion: People get far to obsessed with having low CPU temps at high loads.
Unless you are hitting 95c+ in torture tests, just calm down, it's normal.

this. the more important metric is noise imho

Yeah, the noise levels have dropped significantly under load. It’s crazy!

Yep, people get really stressed out over the high numbers even though it does no harm to the chip.

Can be a significant factor. Temps+power+frequency will kill chips.

the Wraith prism is a loud cooler in its full speed mode, i could not stand it myself

I’ve found them not that bad. The AMD cooler was an ideal included HSF. Much better than the included day one e-waste Intel shipped. It used to really cheese off throwing brand new heat sinks and fans in the bin.

Not really. CPU's have V/F curves and boost tables which prevent exactly that from happening, assuming you aren't ignoring default spec

No, really. Heat is a significant factor in semiconductor survivability.

No, really. Heat is a significant factor in semiconductor survivability.

As is current, voltage and thus power draw. That's why we have V/F curves and boost tables.
