I love how detailed it is, and I loved the up close shots. I always get so insecure when installing things and this helped me a lot. Cheers from Brazil!
thanks for watching
Finally a video with closeups taken from different sides. Was really embarassing to know how to take it apart and reassemble everything back yet not understanding how to install it. I didn't realize pushing the lever over the middle is an actual thing - thought it would break something. Dropping a big like for this one!
You don't have to use both cables...use the USB cable to use the AMD Wraith app to control it (more options), or use the ARGB cable to use AMD Mystic Light and sync it with your other fans. Don't use either and it will light up with a default color scheme.
thank you

Whats the potential problem with plugging in both.
@JoeyCodes nothing really but it's better to only use one
You made what can be a worrying process clear and straightforward. Thank you for taking the trouble to include close-ups; they are very welcome. Great job!
Glad it was helpful!
Another great educational video from the on-line IT University of MUB in Bristol. Thanks Mike.
Very welcome
@@mikesunboxing I have
ABSOLUTE LIFESAVER! I couldn’t find anything else online about this cooler, thank you 🙏
No problem glad to help
The Wraith Prism is one of the most visually and aesthetically pleasing air coolers that exist. I bought one and installed it on my Ryzen 5 3600 instead of other aftermarket coolers.
I've also bought a Noctua NH-C14S to use in the future because I genuinely prefer top-down coolers over tower coolers thanks to the Wraith Prism. Maybe you could do a review on the NH-C14S and the Noctua NH-L12S which are also low profile coolers.
i'll see what i can do
Thanks for the great how-to, Mike! If you haven't used this type of retention mechanism before, it can be bit intimidating. Also, it is great to see a primer on how to use the RGB on the fan.
thanks Sky! been a rather crazy week already and it is only half way! almost need to book time to take a leak these days :-)
@@mikesunboxing you should of explained that the usb lets you to control more when plugged in . lets you change the ring, fan, and AMD logo , and is more customizable.
@@blindshot709 This was a brief intro and I didn't go too in depth, but you are quite right
The mighty Wraith Prism cooler, wish I had got one of these with me 3600 instead of the Stealth kewler. Damn easy to install and can still perform too....noice. Thanks for sharing, Mike and Kath.
yeah this is a classic cooler with decent results and should have been included with most cpus i think
Yo this video is actually so convenient you are using the exact motherboard im using for my first build
Hope it helps :-)
I have this cooler on my Ryzen 7 2700X and it does its job very well!
it is one of the best looking coolers AMD have ever made in my opinion
Absolutely superb video. Only thing missing is where/how to "hide" the cables!!
Excellent explanation! I watched few videos with this method but this one is the best! 👍👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice and clear instruction, a warm thank you from Montreal Canada!
thanks and hello to Canada, starting to get a good number of viewers in your neck of the woods, so welcome to the family
Insert the non clamp tab of the prism first then to get the clamp side in, press in at the top of the non clamp side and it’ll loosen up the clamp side for an effortless fit.
Thanks, really helped with my first build!
Glad I could help!
Brilliant! Thanks so much, well done.
Glad it was helpful!
Man you are so good at explaning and so helpful thank you very much.
Glad you think so! i try and make it accessible to everyone
why have you not got more likes... you are answering everything i need to know with my build, sub here for sure
Thanks Craig appreciate it
Just what I wanted, thanks!
Thanks for helping me out, after redoing the thermal paste I was afraid of damaging the cooler so did not do it which resulted in temps up to 95 degrees but after watching your video and seeing that indeed you have to apply force to lock it in to place it dropped my temps back to 55/60 degrees,
Glad to hear a good end result
Thanks so much I am picking up parts for a build and the cpu is a ryzen 7 3700x with a wraith which I had no idea how to install , thanks again this was so helpfull.
Glad I could help
Great clear tutorial, thank you!
Good tutorial Mike👍 glad i dont have one of these as too many cables (no idea why either 2bh) as my mb only has one usb2 port which is for case front panel. I swapped cooler master evo fan for c/m rgb fan and still only two cables for functionality! Keep up the great work👍
cheers nick - have a great day
No idea why AMD did it this way, they could have just included a single 3pin aRGB connection like most coolers do.
I have a 3700X with this cooler to install in the next few days. Not only was this timely but I hadn't even realized it has a High-Low switch! Duh.
Thanks much, Mike.
Glad I could help!
Most excellent video and explanation!
Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this video it's been very helpful. One thing confused me. Did you leave the dotted paste on that came with the heatsink? Then added the thermal paste on to the cpu, using the combination of the two?
in my experience the stock paste isn't very good and is like glue, so i remove it and use some arctic mx4 instead
@@mikesunboxing Thanks so much for the info. I just ordered a tube of it.
Just bought a 2nd hand PC with this cooler. Thanks for the walkthrough. It appears that mine is installed upside down. It seemed to work though. Hopefully it won't cause any issues.
yes it should be okay, you can install it either way round it doesn't make a huge difference more a cosmetic thing
Great video, Mike! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
thank you very much! Helped me a lot today.
glad to help!
6:27 I was bit worried about that click because I never heard it before on my AM3 MB. Building an AM4 PC I heard it but this video makes me calm knowing it's normal. Also I was a bit afraid because with the sliding platform leaves a gap in relation to the one below, not matching it when the CPU is installed and this video shows this very clearly.
hope it has all gone well, and your build is up and running
@@mikesunboxing Actually I'm still trying to adapt a stock AM3 cooler to it. I would have to put a huge amount of pressure to make It's metal latch lock into the mount bracket of the MB. It has coper and heatpipes and so I want to use the same model on AM4. I will try to trim the base of the "V metal latch" of this cooler to get it lower so it would lock the two sides without effort.
thank you so much
You're welcome!
*Thanks for the video, help me a lot!*
No problem!
I like of the care and detailing in this video.
Actually I'm here because I installed a "classic" hyper tx3 evo on my new x3d cpu, and I'm a bit worried about the mounting pressure it exerts on the mobo. I suspected this cooler, installed in the same way, with a lever and the brackets, bent the mobo. Sure, the am4 mobos come with a proper robust backplate, but I'm still a bit scaried.
Seeing the video I noticed the screws have a good depth on them, so I loosen them up a bit, enough to not prolong beyond the backplate. What do you think? Too much worrying for nothing?
i think it should be fine, like you said you don't have to screw them all the way down if it has good contact
Amazing video, thanks for making it it definitely makes installing this cooler less stressful. The only problem I have is that the retention arm is in the locked up position and no matter how much I trying to push it down to flatten it it just doesn't is it ok like this? I know its working due to my temps being 35c with light use and 60c under heavy gaming
if it works then don't worry to much
I use one of these beauties... hasnt put a foot wrong in 18month!
yeah they do offer a lot of power for a "freebie"
thankyou sir . your huge fan from india.
thank you sir - god bless
Nicely made video!
Thank you very much!
Thanks very fun and cool
Good video. Perhaps do a follow up video on how to remove that cooler & cpu. I bought a 2700x cpu and installed it with this included cooler, the new motherboard was dead, I accidentally bent a bunch of cpu pins while taking off & reinstalling the 2700x on another new motherboard. I hadn't installed an AMD cpu in a long while, since the AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE. It was a refreshed learning lesson, I gave the 2700x away to someone who managed to bend back the pins and get it working and bought a Ryzen 3600 instead, it's still working.
good idea
I didnt dare to force the clamp on mine,so it most likley asnt bin cooling proper..will fix it now tho.tnx alot♥️
Which motherboard are great gigabyte or msi which one you prefer?
Mai followed by asus
i'd go gigabyte
but asus is the best
@@demivik5812 Why you prefer asus? Why not msi or Gigabyte I confused
@@abubakerabubaker6320 asus is bigger, asus is more known
so for me it stands for asus making better products overall
Thank you!
You're welcome!
is it just me or do those USB/RGB connections on the body look "squiffy" (at 1m28s ish) ?
yeah i see what you mean there
Its amazing (ironically using that word) that I cant seem to find that type 2 header usb cable, neither amazon or Ali express, please a help with a link or something?
Thank's anyone, it is the only way to use Custom RGB lightning for this cooler

Thanks, I thought mine was tight and I asked myself why 70C on idle
10:10 This cooler can be so damn frustrating to mount if you're reinstalling it into a existing build, vs a new build where the motherboard isn't mounted in the case yet. If the lever seems impossible to move into it's locked position to the point it's hurting your fingers, STOP. Take a break, and then look at the cooler and check it's actually flat ON the CPU and not all cock-eyed. You might want to remove your GPU so you can get a better view. The metal pieces that clip into the plastic base shouldn't be difficult to snap on as long as the cooler is flat against the CPU, otherwise you'll be in a world of hurt.
Thanks!
No problem! thanks for the super! much appreciated
Мужик ты красавчик👍🤝🙂
I have one somewhere not in use as I find them a bit noisy. Btw, I just replaced the stock cooler on my 2400g by a low profil Snowman. It is doing good, even got a few fps more after long run of Horizon chase turbo 😁. And I received my Asrock b450m - hdv I got for 55$ on Amazon. It was a deal warehouse stating acceptable condition but only the box seems damaged. Inside, everything is there, and the board is wraped like a new instead of the momified one that Amazon do when repackaging!
Still debating if it will be the 2200g, 1500x or the 1200 that will go on that board.
nice! today was a budget pc build day 3000g a320m-h and 1st player d3-a lots of fun until i installed the NVME drive...........
ThankYOU…!!
Super! Thanks! ALHAMDULILLAH
Very helpful video.
The cable management looks a nightmare, it would have been better the sockets on the cooler being at the top and the cables being long enough to go behind the case. I'm going to have to creative to hide these cables as much as possible.
Good call!
Very useful!
Glad to hear that!
I was gonna complain slightly but then realised they don't deserve to see the RGB working :)
Yeah the RGB reveal will be the owners own special moment 😀
my mother board didn't come with the brackets needed. What do I need to buy?
am4 CPU retention bracket kit
I have destroyed 2 CPUS because of the thermal paste sticking and pulling them out of the socket. Use thermal pads with ryzen because if u ever need to change coolers or MBs there is a good chance u will rip out the CPU.
I'm having so much trouble finding something that matches the look and performance of these stock prism coolers. i know for sure i can swap it out for a tower cooler that will drop temps more than a few degrees but the look of a chunky metal tower cooler in my case feels like an eyesore IMO. Is there anything you know of that matches the style and look of the wraith coolers but also drop the temps a bit while not being overly expensive? I've also been checking out some noctua low profile heatsinks that i'm thinking i can just swap out the fan for an rgb one but that seems more costly for just a small reduction in temps. What are your thoughts on just keeping the prism or maybe even modding it for better cooling?
lapping the base of the prism makes a good difference if you want to keep the look
replacement rgb cables for that cooler ? link please

Well, I can add Gigabyte next to Corsair in my list of companies never to buy from again. My main PC is down until I can replace the Gigabyte 850w PSU, and the Gigabyte X570 AORUS PRO Wi-Fi will not accept the XMP setting at all. I set it, it cycles during the reboot, and 2133 is all it will give me. I know the 3200g is not the problem. It was excepting XMP of 3600 with 4 16GB sticks when it was on the X570 Unify. The Gigabyte board won't do XMP with only 2 8GB 3200 sticks G.Skill Trident Z.
oh another one on the poop list
i lost the usb and rgb cable can i buy it somewere or i cant
easy to get them on ebay
Hello, I have a wraith prism with the PWM header cable and 12-volt RGB cable only what I saw it. But, I don't know and don't see another USB 2 port cable. Are those required? or what? two or three cables are enough. Please let me know. thank you
if you dont have the USB cable it is fine just use what you have available
When I tighten my cooler locked, my computer refuses to start.
too much pressure
First of all great video...But well i have a question,today i gave my sister 2400g that was mounted on asus prime a320m-k,and before that i had 2200g.I wanted to put back that great cpu but....The pins was little bent but i corrected them and put them in motherboard and no signal on monitor...Blue light is on but not red that always blink i think is system,hdd or something,so because i am very nervous person without a fast pc i ran to the store and bought another identical asus motherboard and i had the same result,no picture everything spinning but without order i mean the gpu because it has 0 db mod below 50 degrees does not spinning.That guy says to me that he checked cpu 2200g and it works,i will get new 2200g cpu tomorrow so we will se is that is alright so my question is...Is it a bad processor?Or bad ram?or bent pins on motherboard because of bad pins from cpu,everything else is working,ssd1 ssd2,gpu,psu,i transfer all that to another pc and it works good.Can you help me,i dont know what to do?...I will take it to the repair shop but country is really bad about that...

It was a bad cpu after all,after installing a new one everything works,nothing is dead.Is it very nice to know that someone would help you.Thank you...@@mikesunboxing
I would like to use my usb connector but the cable is too short I can't manage it to go back of the motherboard
normally they are okay for full sized ATX boards, but maybe you need an extension lead?
@@mikesunboxing Its fine I managed to insert the cable inside the notch of the gpu cheers
Is there software to program the RGB?
yes on the coolermaster website and amd site
@@mikesunboxing thanks!
It's definitely safe to plug in both cables at the same time?
Yes one is 12 RGB the other is usb so not a problem but ideally use the one you are going to use either 12v for motherboard control or usb for the amd / cooler master software
@@mikesunboxing which is better or easier? (sorry if that's a dumb question I'm new to this)

mostly yes
this looks painful for the cable management process but overall superb video
cheers appreciate it
Would this cooler fit the old AM3+ socket?
it might do, it uses the same latches
do you need to apply thermal paste?
it if hasn't been done already , yes you do
hi can i use both cables on the cooler at the same time
if you want to, although the USB type covers all the options
maybe someone can help me please. I installed everything according to this video (used both cables), but I cannot change the color sheme of the outer RGB ring. I press "apply settings" in AMDs wraith prism app, after closing the app, the ring lights up in factory mode (rainbow). Also tried to use MSI Dragon Center, which works with every other RGB I'm using with my PC, but the fan RGBs just won't work like I want them to.
try with just the USB cable installed and the coolermaster software
@@mikesunboxing it worked! thank you so much!!!!
@@sr50xTuning The Cooler Master software is brilliant, have you played with the mirage effect for the fan LEDs yet?
i bought ryzen 5600g when it was released and specially for it purchased wraith prism, because its rgb is awesome and cooling ability is enough for me.
i only hope that these hooks on plastic brackets on the mobo dont break, because it will be not pleasant if cooler will fall of and damage something, especially when there will be videocard under it
need to notice, those cables for connection rgb is shitty, not easy to disconnect them without pulling by the wire and make it rip off from the connector.
also, i dont see a reason to use usb rgb cable. i need my cooler to be synchronized with mobo rgb, case fans rgb and ram rgb, so 12pin rgb is the only choice
thanks for the comments
cable rgb 12v can't use with app Wraith Prism
@@tungnguyenthanh5175 maybe
but there is a cable with 4 pins and it's working
this could cool a 5800x reasonably well, right? (The wraith prism)
if the case has good airflow and you are in a lower ambient temp room then it will get you by, but that CPU can get rather warm
I'm using this on my 5950x with a x570 aorus xtreme. I do have 7 fans and full tower. I use the precision boost and xmp ..my max temp was like 71 degrees. It's been good for me so far
@@tbreeze79 Thanks for the info :-)

Can anyone tell me if the standard thermal paste on this cooler is any good? Or is it better to remove it, and put some grizzly on it?
grizzly would be a better choice for even mx4 / mx5

no you didn't
will it cool a ryzen 5800x

EXCELLENT SHOWING😊
To bad intel don't make rgb fans :-(
Nah, it is just as well, bc likely they would suck just like their stock coolers do, LOL. Since the better Intel CPUs come w/o a cooler, people are free to choose their aftermarket cooler with or without RGB. Coming with a decent stock cooler has always been a big attraction for people to AMD CPUs. It makes good sense in a cost/benefit analysis.
i wonder what Intel's GPU coolers will be like? and will there be third party intel cards?
@@mikesunboxing OH NO !!! i din't think about that !!! Dear God :-/

Man I hate AMDs AM4 mounting design.

If i do not want that light up anything it's enough to install only the pwm?
