AMD to Bundle Wraith cooler with FX-8350 and FX-6350

We recently already had a look at AMD's new Wraith cooler, it's pretty good and very silent. As such AMD is now updating some of its SKUs with the new cooler. Soon available will be the eight-core FX-8350 and the six-core FX-6350 bundled with the Wraith cooler.



The FX-8350 is one of their more popular 8-core processors and has a clock-speed ranging between 4.00 GHz to 4.20 GHz, both the FX-6350 and FX-8350  have a 125W TDP hence is makes sense to reintroduce this SKU with the new cooler. Check out our FX-8350 review here and our Wraith update here.

We recently tested the Wraith cooler with a AMD FX-8370:



We already received a unit, above some photos a quickie video. The product is really silent, however obviously if you turn on the volume hard enough you will always hear it. In our quick test the processor (AMD FX-8370) is under full load and the cooler remains to be silent. For those of you not interested in spending money on a cooler as you want to combine it with your own tower unit or liquid cooling we have news as well; there will remain SKUs available with the old model cooler, and this that shaves off a few bucks -- albeit it really is that .. a few bucks. My advice for you to get the Wraith cooler, even as a spare backup it might become really handy.

The cooling performance for the 8-core AMD FX-8370 is absolutely fine. Have a peek yourself, the CPU package sensor reports a temp just over 50 Degrees C under a WPrime 8 threaded stress run. So far the chipsets, cooler and FX bundle update. On the next page we'll talk a little more about some of the APU updates that AMD has in store for us
