Question AMD Wraith Prism or Corsair H100i v2

[bmmojo]

My computer will be used for gaming and computer graphics.

I have a Ryzen 9 3900x, RTX 2070 Asus Strix OC

Games: Division 2, Rainbow Six, World of Warcraft, Diablo 3... (possibly Ghost Recon Breakpoint) @ 2,560 x 1,440 Ultra Settings
3D Software: SideFX Houdini, Photoshop, TopazLabs, NUKE, Maya, Mudbox/ZBrush, Terragen, World Machine, Speedtree

• What I will mainly be doing in these software are modelling, sculpting, texturing, UVing, instancing, lighting and rendering with GPU Card and compositing.

Should I use the Corsair H100i v2 (I already have) or use the AMD Ryzen 9 3900x Wraith Prism Stock Cooler?

Thank you!

While the wraith prism is decent for a cooler bundled with a cpu its not an H100i. The H100i should cool significantly better than the wraith cooler.

Great, I'll just sell the AMD Wraith Prism then and use my Corsair H100i.

That works. Just make sure you have the AM4 bracket so you can mount it on a ryzen cpu. I believe the V2 models of the H100i came with the AM4 bracket.

I found out I don't have the bracket. So I went with the Prism. It works fine. It can be loud at times... but I'm getting use to the sound.

I had the AMD Wraith Prism on my 3900X... The CPU kept hitting 95+ degrees when loaded. After buying a Corsair H115i RGB Platinum, the temps dropped to 40 degrees on idle and 85-90 degrees under load...

If you do buy another Corsair, do not replace the thermal paste... The stock thermal paste was cooler than the Kryonaut by a couple of degrees...

Hey Jon,
Actually, I don't mind my Wraith Prism... it is true it get loud... but I think I've gotten use to it now...
What do you mean by "under load" like just playing a game or something heavier?

 

[jon96789]

Using Cinebench or when I do video encoding... I don't play games on the PC...

I gotchu. I guess I'll eventually find out how my system will do when I do CG on it.
