Upgrading the Ryzen Wraith cooler

[Juicy Jama]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if I should look into this. First time PC owner so not 100% sure. Some of my friends were recommending I get one but when I saw that my Ryzen 5 3600 came with one I thought I would see how it does then contemplate upgrading.

So far no issues.

When would I have to look at getting something a bit better ?

I've got a lot of corsair so using iCue so was considering the H100i.

I'd agree with @Praz94 Ryzen 3600 stock cooler does a fine job if your not overclocking the CPU.. You'll see minimal difference if you added the H100i

But.... RGB

Cheaper air cooler with RGB? Thinking Cool Master hyper 212 can be had for £23.

Yeah I know. i'm just really enjoying the iCue software and linking everything together tbh. But it is stupid to pay that premium just for that.

Say no more

In that case, you could go for a radiator setup with triple fans. The Corsair LL series comes to mind, they're really good for RGB

Already got 4 LL fans 3 in the front 1 in the back

Well then..

What about an alpenfohn RGB cooler? I have one of those and its pretty great

Will look into it. My only issue is that a sideways move rather than an upgrade ?

How about upgrading

How about upgrading from the Wraith aspire to the Wraith Prism for RGB and slightly better cpu temps?

As said above I can do. Question is, is it worth it a(will it be any upgrade over the wraith I have now) and the biggest issue im trying to work around is not having different RGB apps for each part. Corsair iCue integrating everything together.
