It is a little easier this time around as the backplate is now fixed so won't move or fall away as soon as you start applying pressure to it.
But for some people this task might still be a little scary, so lets walk through both AMD stock cooler options and install methods.
First is the Wraith style cooler that has the four retaining screws and is the more fiddly one to do in my opinion.
Second is the Wraith Prism style cooler with the two latches and this can also be a pain sometimes but with some care can be done successfully.

Bloody RGB ! Apart from that the Stock wratih cooler is a great little performer for those who dont do much overclocking. Can be a bit noisy under load but for free its a great kewler. Thanks y'all.

I like to think I'm in the more advanced camp, but I'm not immune to mistakes. I appreciate the detailed video even though its on something simple, especially when it's on newer technology. Thank you! About to do an am5 build and want to avoid simple mistakes. Plus these videos just get me hyped up 😊

Very interesting seeing how am5 differs from am4. Enjoyed the tutorial and look forward to monitoring prices of am5 kit this year. Btw dud u hear manufacturers blame us for 40% slump in ssles of motherboards!! Nowt to do with thrir price rises and our worsening economies🤔 Thanks Mike and Kath for great content 🐈👍

motherboard prices are part of the problem, you just can't upgrade a platform now without serious financial outlay
@OcihEvE 11 місяців тому
Thanks and I'm in the "I can't afford to screw this up" camp. R9 7900, Motherboard came in just under $900 Cad. Long gone are the days when you could run a K6 450mhz for half an hour with no cooler at all after dropping it on the floor a few times. Also, 2 header cables for RGB means find a place for them both to a lot of people.

@user-kc6zp7fr7o 11 місяців тому
well done guys, not a beginner lol but for all those that get the Ryzen 7600, 7700 and 7900 non-x versions of the CPU there is simply no need to get any other after market cooler because with the latest bios on all boards its almost impossible to get it over 80 degrees any more so a water cooler looks great but zero performance gain will be gained as Mike says artic MX4-MX8 OR COOLER MASTER GEL-PRO V2 FOR £6 MAX each is a much better pairing best to do this every 12-18 months or check temps using HWINFO and take a screen capture at first bootup so you guys have refference points.

Thanks for the video, I need to rip out my x470 /5700x and replace it with a Gigabyte B650 /7600x. and I had planned to use my Wraith Prism RGB cooler from my 5700x, which came from a 3700x back in 2019, it does a good job on the 5700x when tuned as to see 4725 -50Mhz gaming and 64c using Corsair XTXM50 paste. So the plan is to use the Wraith Prism RGB and running in Eco mode on the 7600x, I got a good deal from Best Buy on the cpu and board for $289.98 and 32Gb of DDR5 5600Mhz for $79.99 with AMD Expo, kind of hard to say no when Starfield was also free!

What would be fun is to compare stock amd cooler vs stock intel cooler. Using the ring that comes with Snowman cooler or any cooler that come with coolers equiped with amd clips, you can literraly mount the stock amd cooler on an intel.

Hey! Thanks for the video! I’m building my first PC in years and needed to be 100% sure of everything. I’ve got a small question though, is an AM4 Wraith Stealth/Spire/Prism cooler compatible with the AM5 platform? Is the mounting mechanism the same?

In general I find stock coolers pretty poor. Even low cost 3rd party cooler tend to perform better but better than nothing I suppose 🤣 Appreciate the video - as you say no doubt someone will find it useful. And a belated happy anniversary 🎉
@evers6214 Рік тому
I tend to agree with you. The wraith stealth is pretty poor and I was disappointed to see it provided along with Ryzen 5s. The prism and spire are much better. Actually usable and way better than anything I’ve seen from intel
@mikep9418 Рік тому
@@evers6214 The Stealth sounds like it's about to take off at times! And as for the ones Intel started supplying with the 12th gen, I was optomistic at first but they're just as bad. Practically e-waste imo.

I found the AMD logo`d lump on the side can interfere with ram installation with some of these AMD coolers so mount them with it away from the slots.
@mikesunboxing Рік тому
good point
@-oneperson- Рік тому
If you carefully prize off the shroud around the fan, you can get at the screws to turn the fan part through 90 degrees, relative to the heatsink. The shroud can then be put back on, you will hear it click, with the 'lump' at the top. Maybe Mike could do a video.

AM5 Prism install is just as difficult as AM4 :) .... why can't they make that cooler screw down? Would be so much easier. It's a very effective cooler to be sure (I have one cooling my daughter's 3600) but they definitely could have made it easier to install.

If 7700x and 7700 have the same price, is it worth more to get a free cooler or the performance difference and go for 7700x would you say?
@mikesunboxing Рік тому
7700x offers a little more performance headroom, and the stock cooler isn't great for am5
@CraigLillie Рік тому
I wish AMD had just added a little lip at the front of each of the lips so when you are trying to clamp the prism down, it would prevent the latch from sliding off the end of the plastic hook. It would make it a lot easier installation wise. 😹

Phenom AM3 coolers had copper base and heatpipes. AMD these days took the cheap way. Also was much easier to install. These AM4, AM5 look a mess like the Intel ones.
@MrSamadolfo 8 місяців тому
🤔 so that 4pin RGB plug, I assume with that plugged in you only have a choice of RED LED's to light up the cooler? and What about that USB Plug Header, so if you use that I assume u don't need to plug in the 4pin rgb plug,, and what does the USB offer you? Does the USB offer you ARGB Rainbow Color Options? And finally why didn't they offer up a 3pin ARGB plug so you can easily change the colors using a case button and/or a hub and/or the motherboard 🙂 thanks for the noob video
@mikesunboxing 8 місяців тому
the RGB 4 pin allows the colours to change but only the whole area at the same time so no rainbow effects like addressable RGBs, the USB connection allows lighting like that
