Upgrading from an AMD Ryzen 3 2200g to a 5 3400g and just want to know if it should be safe to use the cpu cooler (stock wraith stealth cooler) from the old one on the new cpu?
 
Solution
Just to be sure, I would probably look closely at, or perhaps even weigh the coolers. Use the thicker or heavier one, if such is the case. I know that the 65W R7 from the 1xxx used a thicker cooler than the R3.
