Can you use a Wraith Stealth Cooler to cool a Ryzen 7 5700x ? It’s supposed to have a TDP of 65W which is what a Wraith Stealth Cooler is capable of.

I’m thinking of upgrading from a Ryzen 5 2600 and want to reuse the Wraith Stealth Cooler. Says here the Wraith Stealth Cooler can cool a Ryzen 7 5700G which is the same thing isn’t it but with integrated graphics.

The Ryzen 5 2600 has a tdp of 65W anyway and I presume that would throttle when boosting too. The 5700G comes boxed with a Wraith Stealth Cooler and I presume the only difference from the 5700x is the integrated graphics.
 
I've run Cinebench R23 and these are my results...

Do they look about right? The Threadripper 1950x 16c 32t scores 16315. I've searched google and results for both the 5700x and 1950x in Cinebench R23 are higher than what it says they are in Cinebench R23 itself.
 
I've got it sussed, Precision Boost Overdrive was set to AUTO in the BIOS. I enabled it instead and ran Cinebench R23, I got a higher score but the temps were at 95C whereas set to AUTO they get to about 80C which obviously means PBO was disabled. Also it only boosts to 3.8 GHz not 4.6 GHz under Cinebench workload with PBO set to AUTO.

This would explain why the 1950x gets a higher score in google searches than it does in Cinebench R23 itself. PBO was obviously not running when they ran Cinebench R23 on the 1950x that is included in the Cinebench R23 results.

So now I have a choice buy a better cooler which will allow me to boost to 4.6 GHz under Cinebench R23 workload or leave it set to AUTO which will allow it to boost to 4.6 GHz whenever the CPU is not being loaded 100% as per 3D Mark results.

PBO is technically overclocking from the base clock of 3.4 GHz anyway and there is no harm running with the Wraith Stealth Cooler temp wise with PBO set to AUTO. I just lose a bit of the overclocking under 100% CPU load, the temps are fine.
 
Well I have disabled PBO completely and still get around the same score and temps, which are 12370 in Cinebench R23 with a max temp of 83C and 9888 CPU score in 3D Mark Timespy with an average temp of 82C.

Still says clock frequency in 3D Mark was 4652 MHz that is with PBO disabled.
 
I've read good things about this one too the Vetroo V5 Black CPU Cooler. Its not for sale on ocUK but is supposed to be good. Any thoughts on it? Have you heard of it before?
 
It was worth trying the Wraith Stealth cooler, no harm done. The 5700x is an enthusiasts chip so doesn’t come with a cooler.

I am definitely going to buy a better cooler it’s just a case of which one.
 
The ID Cooling CPU cooler I’ve linked to above has a TDP of 180W much better than the 65 TDP of the Wraith Stealth. For £16.66 ex VAT it should do a much better job on the 5700x which has a TDP of 65 but goes higher than that when under load.

So it should be fine for the relatively low powered 5700x.
 
I think I’m going to remove the motherboard from the case to install the new CPU cooler as it was a major pain reinstalling my Wraith Stealth cooler because of the backplate that provides the screw in holes for the cooler to screw into.

Here is a video showing how to install the ID-COOLING SE-214-XT into an AM4 socket they do it with the motherboard outside the case…

There is a comment on there saying why are there empty holes in the motherboard when removing AMD stock cooler.

I had the same problem until I realized the backplate had dropped down behind the motherboard after I unscrewed the Wraith Stealth cooler and I found it when I removed the back side panel.

Do not fancy battling with it again it will be easier just removing the motherboard.

I see, I've got some bad news. Received the CPU cooler today but they've sent me the wrong one. They've sent me a ID-COOLING SE-914-XT-Basic CPU Cooler instead of the ID-COOLING SE-214-XT ARGB CPU Cooler.

Its an inferior cooler with 92mm fan and no RGB, I've already arranged a return and taken it to the post office. Ordered a DEEP COOL GAMMAXX GTE V2 WHITE instead as I have no confidence they can deliver another ID-COOLING SE-214-XT.

The DEEP COOL GAMMAXX GTE V2 WHITE was on special Prime day too, I nabbed it for £ 17.49 ex VAT.
