It’s not overly bright and which means capturing the vibrancy on camera is challenging. Once powered on, the cooler display a subtle illuminated AMD logo which adds an elegant touch. Here we can see the cooler’s size in relation to the memory kit. The noticeably larger heatsink surface area which allows heat to be expelled rather quickly leads to greatly reduced temperatures. It’s astounding to think this comes at no additional cost and is rated to 125 watts of cooling power. To dissipate heat in an efficient manner, the cooler sports 4 copper heat pipes, and a large surface area which feels more reminiscent of a well-received third-party product. As you can see, the fan cable now has an attractive sleeving and the build quality through is exponentially improved. The Wraith cooler incorporates an 80mm fan capable of 41.6 CFM and rated to a maximum noise output of 39dBA. Of course, it’s no match for a something like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo and is notorious for struggling to cool AMD CPU’s with a high TDP cooler under extreme load. Here we can see the unit features a much larger copper base than Intel’s stock cooler and has a decent fin array. All you have to do is fix the clips into position and tighten the lever. The cooler’s mounting system might not be the most elegant design on the market but it’s extremely simple to attach and only takes a matter of seconds. This means, the top-loaded fan ends up running at a very high RPM value and creates a surge of noise which can actually be heard from a shockingly large distance. Unfortunately, the older model’s small fan and restricted heatsink surface area make it a real challenge to attain good thermals. The face of the fan hub is adorned with a holographic logo.,However, the cooling fan does not offer RGB/aRGB lighting as Cooler Master appears to be sticking with the original Hyper 212 theme of budget-minded minimalism. Saying that, it’s bundled with the CPU and the target market unless they’re overclocking, won’t be overly fussed providing it keeps the processor within thermal limitations. Cooler Master provides an updated SickleFlow 120 fan rated to 1800 RPM for use on the new 212 Evo v2, which ships with mounting clips pre-installed. The visible wiring and industrial appearance aren’t going to make anyone proud to deploy this cooler in their personal rig. misc.AMD’s previous design looks rather dated by today’s standards and features a fairly ghastly 4-pin CPU fan cable. My Fortress/Julia (WCG)/Trish (WCG)/Ella (WCG)/Junior (WCG)/4P (WCG)/Kreij (WCG)/Trish02 (WCG) On the stock heatsink I used the thermal paste that was already applied by the manufacturer and for the hyper 212 I used the paste provided by Cooler master.įirst I ran a Prime95 small FFT to see how high the temperatures are going to get: The thermal paste used in the tests were: The ambient temperature was 22 degrees Celsius. While I have a total of 5 fans in my case, during this test only the back fan was working at 900rpm as an exhaust. The benchmarks were ran on the AMD FX-6100 only at the stock speed of 3.3GHz because the motherboard I have is not made for overclocking since it only has a 4 pin EPS connector and the VRM have no heatsinks.
