@@TechIlliterate I have this cooler currently on my FX8320 for the last 2 weeks. Finally building a ryzen 5600x build. My Cpu arrives tomorrow, Will this cooler be fine on that do you think? Thanks for any info.
Quick reminder to my pc brothers having trouble with locking the lever. If it takes too much force, and you afraid it will snap, just losen the brackets on the motherboard a little bit, and it will snap on just fine. After that, re-tighten them 4 screws just enough, don't over do it. The heatpipes design leave you with enough room to get a screw driver down
I installed mine while the motherboard was in the tower. I used the same thermal paste you used. I used the spatula that came with the thermal paste to keep the backplate into the space between the motherboard and case.
i was like: should i buy a new cpu? my is a pretty bad one, but i dont fuckin know how to mount it, i dont want to break my whole pc, and i dont want to spend more money on others to make it, thanks u, now i have an understanding of what should i do
Dude thank you, someone gave me one of these coolers instead of using the stealth cooler and I couldn't figure out how to get it on...I waited until everything else was installed to install the cooler like a dummy
i put this cooler 4 days ago, took 2-3 sec, the trick is that you put a thin screwdriver between the blades and press the edge of the clicking mechanism, and it's ready. it can't be simpler than that
The mounting system isn't frustrating. You just fell like you're going to smash your CPU when you are locking the lever down due to how much force is needed. I prefer the two latch system over the other Wraith coolers. Installing the Wraith Stealth was frustrating due to the plate that goes beneath the motherboard and then you have to screw 4 screws into it.
Well, some how with moderate pressure my lever managed to get snapped off. The idea of this cooler on paper is great, but in reality it's execution is just crap.
@@TechIlliterate okay that’s good now I’m not getting any power to my board at all I’m thinking it’s either the battery on the board or it’s my psu I ordered a brand new one from Amazon and I have them sending the replacement tomorrow so I can compare them and see what’s going on
Thanks for your very helpful video! Just a beginner question: is it possible to get a completely white light ...? I have a build with minimal all-white lighting ...
Is there a reason you took out your NZXT AIO to replace with this one or was that just for demo purposes? Just curious, I’m in the same predicament. Should I used my NZXT AIO or AMD RGB Wraith?
I have and ryzen 5 3600 with stock wraith cooler onto a ROG b450F mobo Issue is I have a 2x 16gb 3200 ram and only one dimm slot on slot 2 works and not slot 4. Resulting in only one card working The tinterweb says the cooler on the cpu is “to tight” but I tried it and no joy, Any ideas anyone?
Absolute nightmare of a mounting bracket. AMD needs to rethink these things, cause holy shit they suck for first timers. Shit, I've been building PC's for 10+ years and I still have trouble with em.
I almost broke something putting this in my pc lol I couldn't get the clip so I applied so pressure like another video suggests and I put too much and I heard something snap but then the thing went in easy after. I couldn't find what happened then later I looked in the back and a set of the USB ports got pushed back and I couldn't use them anymore but I cut the little metal line between and I could use them again lol
I thought I snapped the mother board or bent broke the cpu or something crazy. But it runs fine and I play on it for hours and no problems so I'd say it's all good
ArticSilver 5 is a bad choice to use for thermal paste for Ryzen chips. It is so viscous that if you ever go to remove the Wraith cooler, you will likely pull up the CPU even though the locked lever is down. This is not something you want to do (easy to damage those delicate gold pins this way). The other trick as far as getting the clips on is to get the shorter clip, the one without the lever, on first. Then make sure that the Cooler is between, perfectly between, the two black plastic retaining clips before you attach the longer clip. And you do want to have that lever in the position demonstrated in the video.
I want to lose the fan a little bit do you have any idea about that, it has a clip so I couldn't find any way of doing that, and don't think those screws have to do anything with that. If someone has any idea please comment ASAP.
Went wrong from the first step, numerous tests have shown the single dot method with the thermal paste is no good, it doesn't give full coverage, the best way is the butter spreading method, you put a little bigger blob than that on and with a small squeegee (they come with most thermal pastes) you smear it in smooth lines until the entire sqaure of the cpu is covered in a thin layer.
What if my stock cooler is Wraith stealth and wanted to change to Prism? Should I remove the motherboard to mount the brackets or I can do it without having to remove the motherboard? Wraith stealth uses 4 screws instead of brackets.

@@EarthMonsterAZ Yes. It's a GREAT cooler. No need to replace it unless you like to look at really low temps.
@@TechIlliterate awesome, I will use this for sure. Thanks for the reply. 👍
Was looking for info on the LED wire description (voltage) and connecting up the LED wire... but you skipped that part of hooking it up...
THANK YOU oh my goodness, I was so frustrated with that cooler, and had to dig deep to find a video that actually helped me.
Most complete tutorial for led personalization I’ve ever seen for now... greetings from Brazil
Best video I've seen on the Wraith Cooler. Thanks Mr. Tech!
simple and straight forward awesome video
Omg, thank you so much! You helped me to save time. I was afraid to break something, but I followed your guide and it was very easy. Subscribed. 😊

That lever really does take a man's crank to flip it to locked, I was sure I was breaking it my first time.
Man's crank sounds like a euphemism...
But yes, it's surprising to me every time I mount the thing.
@@TechIlliterate I hate it I hate it I hate it! ...
Just used the Wraith Prism for a R5 5600G and its great.
I installed mine while the motherboard was in the tower. I used the same thermal paste you used. I used the spatula that came with the thermal paste to keep the backplate into the space between the motherboard and case.

why does this only have 3k views
best setup video for this fan great explanation of the lever
best review about that stock cooler and the software too,, thanks so much sir.. you are good man..
OK! You got me on your "sponsor message"! That was funny and very unexpected... Congrats and thanks...

Putting one of these on my Flux node Build !

Damn thanks for this. It took me under a minute to install it!

Just picked one up used for 20$ found someone's upload of a 120mm fan adapter, having it printed for 15bucks...wish me luck argb here we come!
Godsend. Thank you so much!
If I ever wish to replace ONLY the fan of this cooler, are they sold individually or am I on the hook for whole new heat sink and fan?
Will I be able to install this cooler into the asus prime b450 plus MB? Just wanna know if this cooler will fit into that mother board…
I love you . Thank you. This cooler is not beginner friendly it is dumb as fuck. I’d rather screw this on. You have my sub
Ur so under rated
No u
@@TechIlliterate uno reverse card
GOOD JOB
Wait so when flipping the lever it’s going to feel like your breaking it ? Because I feel like I am going to break it
yup! And be careful when removing it. It snaps back and you don't want a finger to be in the way. Hurts like hell!
Well, some how with moderate pressure my lever managed to get snapped off. The idea of this cooler on paper is great, but in reality it's execution is just crap.
Literally just broke the plastic piece the cooler clamps too trying to turn that lever…
não sei do porque não deixa a tradução da legenta, não pensa fora da caixa
So I just need to connect the USB cable? The rgb cable is not needed?
Yup!
actually shredded my first cpu pins trying to put this on
Yeah but is it as brown as my noctua? I don't think so
Thank you. This has to be the dumbest mounting system ever made. What was wrong with screws genuinely?
I got the ryzen 2700x with the wraith prism rgb but it didn’t have those two cables is that going to effect anything aside from not having rgb
Nope. as long as you have power you'll be all good.
@@TechIlliterate okay that’s good now I’m not getting any power to my board at all I’m thinking it’s either the battery on the board or it’s my psu I ordered a brand new one from Amazon and I have them sending the replacement tomorrow so I can compare them and see what’s going on
Thanks for your very helpful video! Just a beginner question: is it possible to get a completely white light ...? I have a build with minimal all-white lighting ...
Not sure if it's possible on this cooler.
Is there a reason you took out your NZXT AIO to replace with this one or was that just for demo purposes? Just curious, I’m in the same predicament. Should I used my NZXT AIO or AMD RGB Wraith?
Ur aio u dummy
RGB Fusion Full Light Controle of the LED, its the App That Works .
I have and ryzen 5 3600 with stock wraith cooler onto a ROG b450F mobo
Issue is I have a 2x 16gb 3200 ram and only one dimm slot on slot 2 works and not slot 4. Resulting in only one card working
The tinterweb says the cooler on the cpu is “to tight” but I tried it and no joy, Any ideas anyone?
Hey my Wraith Prism LED control utillity does't work. Can u help me?
Do you think this will fit 4 sticks of Corsair Vengeance RGB pro ram next to it?
Absolute nightmare of a mounting bracket. AMD needs to rethink these things, cause holy shit they suck for first timers.
Shit, I've been building PC's for 10+ years and I still have trouble with em.
I agree haha.
what is reason the outer ring is not working
God bless you
My fan isnt spinning. It spins for less than a second then nothing. Any Ideas?
Try different fan headers. Check your BIOS fan settings too.
Hi, if I just plug a CPU Fan Cable (as in 4:15) it still have RGB color with random color, Right?
Yes
Thanks, I found jrgb on my board now.
Any idea why I can change the ring led in the rgb software but I can't mess with the fan light or logo?
Everything is plugged in right I just can't change the fan or logo lights
@@awesomekittyninja You're using the USB header cable? That is unusual. Try reinstalling the software and reseating the cables.
@@awesomekittyninja just use the usb header cable. Don't use the rgb cable or else you can't control it.
Awesome! Could you do a video on removal ?
Yes I can
Just watch the video in reverse, duh
Do the 2 cables come with the cooler or do you have to buy them separately?
They are included with the cooler.
Hey man what motherboar would you recommed for a ryzen 7 2700x?
okay but what if i dont have those black notches on my motherboard ?
They should come pre installed on AM4 motherboards. You can order replacements if it's lost.
@@TechIlliterate Ordered replacements. gonna make it good practice to keep the box and any parts inside of it from now on
Zero dislikes...nice
What do I do it’s taking forever to screw in
It should only take a moment though it can be difficult.
My cpu didn’t come with the clamps that hold it into place?
They should be on the motherboard pre installed.
@@TechIlliterate Yes, I got my clamps in the B450m Aorus Elite Motherboard included.. If you don't have this you can buy from Amazon or Aliexpress.
Tenho mesmo o cpu cooler em uma B450 Steel Legend, nao consigo controlar os leds.
does the direction matter?
How much he said "all you have to do" ?

not all AM4 motherboards have AM4 mounting hardware. some asrock motherboards use intel mounting
Most if not all AM4 boards include mounting hardware but yes, not all ASRock MBs are AMD.
Do they have mount pins like intel cooler?
No.
It's really not that hard I've had to mount this thing and remount after changing From 3700 to 5900X processers
if I don't care about the rgb do I need to use these cables?
Not at all. As long as you have the fan cable plugged in it will work perfectly. RGB will run randomly.
Do the cables come with the cooler or do you need to buy them separately
M ai ajutat mult ms bro te pup la oute
ah ok I can just plug those cables anywhere over here or in some usb thingy and then...
This isn't the greatest how to guide dude.
10 minutes???
Oooooo that's how. Wow once I did it like you showed it was so easy 😫

I have had this experience...sans the chip removed from the socket. Have had a hard time removing the cooler, wraith and aio block.
