Thankfully, most, if not all, CPU cooler manufactures will send you a free AM4 upgrade kit which will allow you to use your existing cooler on AM4 motherboards. Unfortunately, the new mounting holes break compatibility with all previous generation coolers for AM2/AM2+/AM3 and AM3+. The AM4 is a PGA (Pin Grid Array) socket and it comes with about 40%+ more pins than AM3+.ĪM4 supports 1331 pins which is a big increase over the 942 pins of the AM3+ socket. Since these coolers are designed for the AM4 platform, let's talk a little bit about AMD's AM4 socket. It would not be worth it for them to compete in the CPU cooling market with all the third party manufactures. AMD is a company that focuses on selling processors, not accessories. With their manufacturing partners in the CPU cooling market. If you think about it, it makes sense why AMD is not selling the Wraith coolers separately because they do not want to compete Unfortunately, AMD does not sell the new Wraith coolers separately so you will have to purchase a Ryzen processor that comes with the Wraith cooler you want. I have been seeing many people on different forums asking where they can purchase the new Wraith coolers, specifically the Wraith Max. Our original Wraith cooler review showed us how serious AMD is in bundling their processors with high quality stock coolers.įor this review, AMD has sent us the Wraith Max RGB and Wraith Spire (No LED) which we will put the test to see the cooling and noise performance that they offer. Intel has always bundled their processors with garbage coolers that most people simply throw away because they are extremely loud and do a terrible job of cooling. I have to give major respect to AMD for going the extra mile in shipping their Ryzen processors with high quality stock coolers that are built like third party coolers with a copper base and heatpipes.

The new Wraith Coolers with the exception of the Wraith Stealth feature color-configurable LED illumination so you can tweak the LED of your cooler to match your overall build color scheme.
