Moving to the Wraith Spire increased the load temperature by 6 degrees and although the CPU is now running hotter the fan speed for the Spire only maxed out at 1700 RPM so the operating volume was much the same. Because of these low temps the Prism fan never spun faster than 1600 RPM and at that speed it's virtually silent. Using the Wraith Prism saw the 2600 peak at just 47 degrees which is very cool and the VRM never exceeded 43 degrees, these are exceptional temperatures for a reasonably heavy gaming load, speaking of which CPU utilization hovers around 50% in this test. It's winter here right now so we're testing in a cool 20 degree room as it is.įirst up I measured peak temperatures after 30 minutes of gameplay during our Overwatch bot match stress test. For this test though I went with the limited air-flow setup as the point of testing inside a case and not on the testbed is to more realistically simulate the conditions you would be using these air-coolers. Of course, when using the box coolers the AIO won't be used, but I like how this case comes with four 140mm fans pre-installed, though they are all configured as exhaust fans so I'd recommend installing a few front mounted in-take fans.
The coolers will also be tested inside the DeepCool New Ark 90, a large full ATX case that comes with an all-in-one liquid cooler pre-installed. We'll monitor CPU and VRM temperatures during an hour-long Blender workload as well as a 30 minute Overwatch gaming session. So we'll be comparing all three coolers on the Ryusing the stock settings as well as a 4GHz all-core overclock. Likewise, those with a 2600X or 2700 may wish to know how much better the Prism is than the Spire. Those who bought the Rymay want to know if it's worth buying the Wraith Spire or Prism second hand, there are always some to be had on eBay. Then we have the non-X 2600 that gets the little Wraith Stealth weighing in at just 317 grams making it 15% lighter than the Spire and a whopping 45% lighter than the Prism.
Then Ryand Ryzen 5 2600X get the Wraith Spire, this model tips the scales at 372 grams making it 36% lighter, but it still sports a copper slug in the base. The more expensive Ryzen 7 2700X is the only model to come with the fancy looking Wraith Prism and it's the only 105 watt TDP part, so it does call for a beefier cooler, this model weighs in at 580 grams. AMD upped the game with the stock CPU coolers it bundled with Ryzen processors and they kicked it up another notch with 2nd-gen Ryzen which come with one of three Wraith models that we are comparing today: the Stealth, Spire and Prism.
