Hello fellow community members. I'm urgently in need of some help. I recently purchased a boxed AMD FX - 8350 which was advertised to include the AMD Wraith Cooler. Upon receiving the package one of the things I immediately noticed was the cooler was not the AMD Wraith Cooler but instead the AMD SILENT COOLER without LED light Socket FM2/FM1/AM3/AM2+/AM2/1207/939/940/754 Copper Base/Alum Heat Sink & 3.5" Fan w/Heatpipes & 4-Pin Connector Up to 125W. I immediately contacted the seller via Amazon messaging system to express my concern and disappointment. The seller was quite polite and after apologizing sent me an AMD Wraith Prism cooler as a replacement. Now here's my concern. The TDP rating on the AMD SILENT COOLER IS 125W, however the TDP rating on the WRAITH PRISM is nowhere to be found (most websites simply state that it's suitable for processors with a TDP rating of 105). Agreeably this doesn't specify the TDP rating of the cooler itself. I am quite concerned that installing the WRAITH PRISM with my FX-8350 will cause the processor to operate outside it's allowed temperature range subsequently shortening the life of the processor.
I would genuinely appreciate any advice based on your expertise.
Thanks in advance,
