Product Information

It also meant when compared to the 7900X, the 7900 is far better when it comes to power efficiency. The 7900X pushed total system usage 50% higher for a 12% performance increase. Gaming Benchmarks

In both Handbrake and Blender, the Ryzen 7 7700 is once again significantly slower than the Core i7-12700K and the Core i5-13600K. Things are slightly better in POV-Ray 3.7, but the best that can be said for the Ryzen 7 7700 there is that it doesn't lose by quite as large of a margin in the single-threaded test. An Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition graphics card was also installed in the system and used for most tests. It worked as the GPU in all gaming tests except those focused on the integrated graphics portion of the processor, and it also served as the display adapter for all non-graphics-related tests. My wife uses a Corsair H60 on her i5-7600k at 5GHz but the thing just gets used as an office machine despite having a Radeon 380X that still runs games at 1080p, only on medium in the last 2 years but still. Before going ahead with the Wraith Prism installation steps below, make sure you're aware of basic safety precautions when working with PC components such as grounding yourself by touching metal before handling any internal hardware (explained in our full guide to building a PC from scratch ). For gamers the 7700 also beats the 13700K in terms of value, offering a similar level of performance at a lower price point. But if productivity is a priority, then ignore that as the 13700K might be the faster option depending on the workload.For this cost per frame analysis we'll be including the current retail price of the CPU, a 32GB kit of memory, and a budget motherboard For as long as I can remember, I've had love of all things tech, spurred on, in part, by a love of gaming. I began working on computers owned by immediate family members and relatives when I was around 10 years old. I've always sought to learn as much as possible about anything PC, leading to a well-rounded grasp on all things tech today. In my role at PCMag, I greatly enjoy the opportunity to share what I know.

Looking at the single core performance we find that the 7600X is 5% faster than the 7600, the 7700X is just 3% faster than the 7700 and the 7900X is 4% faster than the 7900. So the margins are fairly similar, between 3-5% faster for the original X models and not a big difference. In most instances PBO does a good job of closing that small gap. The fans have an RPM ranging from 600 – 1800 RPM with a noise output of 31.8dbA. The thermal cooling capacity or TDP is 380W, which is plenty for cooling your 3700x. Vermintide 2 shows up to a 1.5% performance improvement from upgrading the cooler with margins as small as half a percent. So you certainly couldn't invest money in a better cooler for these meager fps improvements. Cyberpunk 2077 is very CPU demanding, and therefore utilizes these parts well, it's also sensitive to frequency, so we are seeing some variation in the results. That said, the 7900 vs 7900X battle which sees the largest difference in operating behavior only resulted in a 7% performance delta.

4. Lock Wraith Prism in Place

You can’t use both cables simultaneously because, in this case, it will default to the RGB cable and will not allow you to control all the lights on your cooler. Therefore, you need to use only the USB cable. How To Change AMD Wraith Prism RGB

With over twelve years of experience in the tech and gaming industry, our dedicated team has been refined consistently to produce a potent group of cultured individuals who are known to convey the most accurate information to our valued consumers, thanks to the extensive research and reviewing we conduct before we publish every piece of journalism. You can’t exclusively control the AMD Wraith Prism RGB through Razer Chroma. However, if you have any Razer peripherals, you can sync their RGB with your AMD Wraith Prism cooler. Running Blender for an hour increases the Wraith Prism load temperature to 57 degrees. That's a 10 degree increase over what we saw when gaming. The fan speed also increased to 2000 RPM but even here the Prism was still basically silent. This time the Wraith Spire was 8 degrees hotter than the Prism as temps hit 65 degrees, though that's still very cool by all accounts and again the fan only spun at 2000 RPM. For Ryzen 5 2600 owners it will net you Wraith Prism-like performance when gaming though it's worth noting that the 120mm fan does a much better job of cooling the VRM on our X470 board. The Gammaxx 200T also appears to be a decent upgrade option for R5 2600X and R7 2700 owners.

With the Ryzen 5 2600 under 100% load in our Blender workload the Gammaxx 200T is more comparable to the Wraith Spire here making it a bit hotter than the Prism. Although less impressive under these conditions it's still a solid upgrade option for Wraith Stealth owners. The radiator material is aluminum, and the pipes use mesh rubber for lightness and improved airflow. In that regard, it far surpasses its predecessor, the Castle 240 RGB, in both the looks and the design along with the Performance. Noise: Smaller fans have a tendency to be noisier, so it’s for the best if you choose a Ryzen 3700X cooler with a larger fan since it’ll be able to spin at lower speeds but produce the same amount of airflow, albeit with far less noise. Aesthetics and Build Quality We have the Aercool P7 240 Liquid Cooler starting with the best all-in-one cooler. Aerocool gained traction mostly with their air coolers, and with the release of Aerocool P7 L240, they’ve delved into liquid cooling in their Project 7 series. The P7 L240 is an excellent cooling solution for the Ryzen 7 3700x with its unique pump design and easy installation process. It offers great Performance, a neat design, and very cool RGB features. You need to know that it is necessary to connect one of the RGB or the USB Type-2 cables provided with the coolers to control the RGB of the cooler.

Skipping past 3DMark, which is a synthetic test and not indicative of real-world performance, in F1 22, the Ryzen 7 7700 is 5% faster than the Ryzen 9 7950X and the Ryzen 7 7700X at all resolutions. This is a small lead and one that would hardly be worth mentioning if it weren’t for the significantly lower price of the Ryzen 7 7700 than those two aforementioned CPUs. None of the rest of the tests shows more than a 2% difference among the three Ryzen 7000-series chips. As the rated TDP of the Ryzen 9 7900 is only 65W, you can actually increase the performance a bit more with some adjustments in the BIOS settings. When we reviewed 3rd-gen Ryzen we deliberately used the included box coolers for the majority of the testing. We realized this probably wouldn't satisfy everyone but considering it's included in the price and we've seen decent results on previous generations, it's what made the most sense at launch. But how much cooler are we running with the DeepCool Castle 360EX? Quite a bit cooler, it turns out.Last but not least, the Castle 240EX is sporting DeepCool’s revolutionary Anti-Leak technology, which helps maintain a systematically automated pressure balance, significantly reducing the chances of fluid leakage and improving componential safety. Who is this for The general dimensions of the XIGMATEK Aurora 360 are 398 x 120 x 27mm (L x W x H). The aluminum radiator has a height of 27mm and is paired up with 3 AT120 A-RGB fans. These fans have a rotation speed of 1800 RPM and use 6-pin connectors. The noise output is low at just 28dbA, and the tubes use rubber material for better liquid flow. The TDP for 360mm AIOs is rated more than 450W. If you are just dipping your toes into the PC building water, then this is going to be a great option for you. It has a ton of personalization choices, future-proofing, and it is really easy to install. It isn’t going to be the best choice for people who are gaming or pushing their systems. Product Comparison: Wraith Prism Vs Hyper 212 The dimensions of the cooler are 140 x 74 x 159 mm (L x W x H). The material used for making the radiator is mostly aluminum. The cooler comes with a well-reputed Riing 120mm fan. The height of the cooler is 159mm. The fan has a rotation speed of 500-1400 RPM. The noise output is also pretty under control with less than or equal to 18dbA. TDP is rated 150W.
