So far, the Wraith Prism heatsink is the highest end of this family of heatsinks that AMD installs with its Ryzen processors, but in this case (the Prism version) comes with Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9 only, not the former.

The current heatsink has four heat pipes that they are in direct contact with the processor IHS and that they cool the processors to work at acceptable temperatures; however, now processors like Ryzen 9 3900X they saw their TDP increase to 105W and, it seems, these current Wraith Prism servants are not enough as they've seen Wraith Prism with two heat pipes, and if they are meant for these Ryzen 9's it means at least Its exhaust capacity is 105W.

AMD doesn't want us to spend money on another heatsink

Processor manufacturers offer two options when selling: and without a heatsink. Intel & # 39; s heatsink solution has been shown to be insufficient to perform its heatsinks functions, and yet since AMD started using these Wraiths since those AMD FX features changed, because they didn't just show up. good performance but also and they were very silent than those of the competition up to that point many users no longer buy a separate heatsink to cool your AMD processors.

With this line of thinking, it now seems that AMD has updated its Wraith Prism heatsinks so users can continue to use their “greedy” processes without having to buy a separate heatsink. It was China's mid-sized XFastest that discovered that with the new generation of Ryzen 9 processors of the brand, The Wraith Prism heatsink now comes with six heat pipes instead of four, to improve its cooling capacity of at least 105W TDP they have these processors.

In terms of construction, this new Wraith Prism is very similar to the previous version (you can see it in the photos comparing both versions) with only one caveat with two heat pipes. In fact, even on the base that was already overused in the previous version (in terms of the TR4 part) it is the same, and they simply swap those extra pieces of copper in the face of the heating pipes.

The new AMD Wraith Prism

Therefore, as is often the case with AMD which is why it is highly valued by users, price is maintained, construction is maintained, but its performance improves. It is without a doubt good news for all those users who want it Use the sink in the cell It comes with a processor instead of buying a different one, you have to invest more money into the account.
