If you have bought a high-end Ryzen processor in the past year or so, chances are pretty good that you've received that nice WRAITH Prism cooler bundled with it. Initially, it was released with four heat pipes.

Over in Asia at the Xfastest forums somebody noticed something alright, it seems that a new revision of the Wraith Prism is inbound, this round with six heat pipes which should offer better cooling performance. Currently, Wraith Prism offers support up-to 105 a TDP of 105W.

An interesting fact is that the new revision ahs the exact same model number (712-000075 Rev: C) as the existing model, so it looks like AMD simply will be replacing the old one, with this new one.

This was discussed to death for so many times.
Stock coolers have a purpose. Yeah, they aren't for everyone, but you get the job done.
Want better, buy better.
It would be nice to be able to buy tray CPUs for enthusiastic guru. But not limited to a minimum of tens or hundreds of units.
We sold AMD tray CPUs back in 2008-2010 if my memory still serves.

It's noisy, a nightmare to install or remove
Dumbass idea to sell coolers with CPU's.
I would prefer a lower priced CPU.

I put the cooler I got with my 3900x on my 2600x which seemed like the best use of said cooler. And it's dead silent too.

I was able to overclock my current CPU to 4GHz 1.33v perfectly fine with Stealth cooler, which isn't anywhere near as good as the Wraith cooler. I only bought another cooler because I got a really good price.

For light overclocking, AMD's stock coolers aren't too bad.

I would have preferred if they simply stopped shipping coolers with CPUs. My Ryzen 2600 stock cooler fan makes a noise I'm not used with (I had a scythe with a 92mm fan that was noiseless). Let us chose what we want.

I would have preferred if they would simply stopped let you in here LoL, That what headphone are for.
