Revised AMD Wraith Prism RGB CPU cooler surfaces, has 6 opposed to 4 heatpipes.
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.

Probably necessary honestly.. I was having a problem with my computer randomly shutting off (turned out to be a wire short that took me months to find) but part of me figuring out wtf was happening was pulling my computer from my case and running it with the stock wraith cooler. I was constantly hitting like 86-90c with essentially an open test bed in a ~22c room. Was louder than I'd imagine it to be as well.

For me these coolers are always handy as back-ups. Especially if you own an AIO, it can happen that it breaks down and unless you want to be "stranded" for 2-3 weeks until the RMA goes through, you'll end up buying some cheap air cooler anyway.

I'm using the wraith prism on my 3700X and I can't really complain about the noise unless I'm doing an AVX stress test.
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.

the new one seem have 6 but more thin?
maybe it is for that they have the same revision 6 thin or 4 thick that have the same heat dissipation.
