Does the job on a Ryzen 5700x, temps maintain far better than my old 3600 using stock fan.The LEDS look good.I`d suggest fitting the LED cables before you mount the fan, as I didnt then had to drop the GFX card to fit them. Additionally, you dont need to fit both LED control cables, only one depending on what system/software you intend using. The CoolerMaster software will use the USB cable, while MSI's Mystic Light uses the RGB cable - these things I learnt after I hastily installed it!

Bought this as I didn't like my stock cooler for entry pc, definitely worth the upgrade, good value for money, works great, RGB is a nice feature, not noisy at all even on high settings, install is fairly easy just bet gentle

Was very easy to install and looks great when it is light up. However, i paid a little extra for the "AMD Wraith Prism" as it was supposed to have a pre-applied thermal pad on it. There was no paste on mine and no thermal paste in the box. So remember that if you are going to purchase this cooler then also get some thermal paste as well. :-(

I bought this because I thought I could just put it straight into my pc.I am swapping out the standard cooler that comes with most AM4 processors and being new to all this pc stuff I never realised it’s a totally different mounting bracket you need.So for any new computer people out there you will also need the correct mount for this fan.(SEARCH : AM4 cooler mount)It’s two black plastic mounts so buying this would be a must unless you already have these mounts 👍

Came pre pasted and very easy to install a lot lower temps than the stock cooler it is 8 degrees cooler than stock on my pc and i did not have to switch it to high performance mode with my Ryzen 5600x, I would recommend connecting to the USB header you will be limited to basic colours and patterns if you use the RGB and will not be able to get the most from all LED`s on the fan.

Unlike many of the other reviews, I found installing this cooler to be a complete pain. I had to dig out the backplate and brackets and re-attach them to the motherboard first. The cooler has metal arms that hook onto the brackets, then a small lever on one side that keeps it secure and tight. I also had to unscrew and remove the graphics card before I could hook the lower arm onto the bracket as there wasn't enough space. The cooler does come with pre-applied paste as standard but it wasn't that great in terms of coverage.

Wraith Prism is great had some trouble installing it though but I did get it working in the end.Anyone else reading this make sure bracket at the back firmly locked in place and CPU is firmly locked before installing otherwise nothing will boot.If you are changing over from different cooler fan please wiggle it off and don't pull it off because you most likely pull out CPU like I did that was stuck to my old AMD standard cooler fan. Possibly damage the pins!I can now run my PC fans in turbo mode, plus RGB lights work really well. I used Asus Auora program them with no trouble.The thermal paste was all ready applied, so remember this! Try get done installed right first time otherwise thermal paste go everywhere!Just remember make sure CPU is firmly locked in before installing.If everything lights up and computer doesn't boot it means CPU is not installed correctly after installation so please remember make sure that it is!Remember to plug the fan wire in to correct motherboard pin which will be labelled CPU fan.
