Arctic Freezer 7 Pro vs. Wraith Prism on 3700X

[Bonjour]

I've just ordered a 3700X and was wondering whether to use the bundled Wraith Prism or transfer my current Arctic Freezer 7 Pro. Which will be the better cooler on the 3700X?

Thanks

An tower cooler should keep the temps in-check a little better than the stock cooler (but the stock coolers do the job).

Worth doing if already have one.

While that Arctic has more heatpipe ends to transport heat, it's also 100 grams lighter than Wraith Prism.
So with that Arctic also using that bad for pressure frameless fan it's more likely worser than better.

Much of the problem with downflow coolers is the air does down through cooler hitting motherboard, turns out hitting RAM, GPU, etc turns up along side cooler and fan where it is drawn back into fan so cooler ends up re-using it's own heated exhaust air. So while Arctic 7 PRO isn't very good it will likely cool better than stock cooler.

I would go with the prism as both coolers will be about the same but the prism looks better, it also ships with the 12 core 3900x so there is definetly plenty of headroom on a 8 core CPU. Will also push air into the Vrms to keep those cooler as well.

Thanks all. I'll stick with the Prism.
