Ryzen 7 1700 Cooling

[Martin Beard]

I am building a system with A Ryzen 7 1700 with Wraith Spire cooler and was wondering is the cooler any good or should I purchase another cooler and if so which would be best - My case is the Antec P280 and the MOBO is ASRock AMD X370 Killer SLI.
Any suggestions - Thanks

If you are planning on running 4 GHz at all times, running Blender/handbrake 24/7, I'd look for aftermarket....

You can try the cooler you have, and bump the clock up 100 MHz at a time, and see what it does to your temps in a realistic workload (i.e., doing things other than Prime95), and stop when you feel content with performance...

I really like the Wraith Spire cooler. Give it a good try before you pay money for an aftermarket cooler. I bought a Cryorig AIO for my Ryzen 7 1700, but I haven't installed it because the stock cooler is doing such a good job. The AIO is still sitting new in the box.

Just looking at that Antec P280 case. It comes with 3 case fans and supports 4 more. You'll need to be sure you're getting good air-flow through the case (to use ANY cpu air cooler)
