Ryzen Wraith Stealth on AM3+?

[May2ko]

So I recently upgraded my system from an FX-6300 to a Ryzen 5 2600. On my FX-6300 I had an aftermarket cooler which happened to be compatible with the AM4 socket on the Ryzen. So, I decided to stick with my aftermarket cooler. This means that the Wraith Stealth that came with my Ryzen CPU is now unused.

Since I am looking to sell my old components off, I was wondering if I could provide the Wraith Stealth with the FX-6300 to the future owner of my old CPU since I don't have the original FX cooler to sell it off with.

In other words, will the Ryzen Wraith Stealth fit on an AM3+ socket with an FX-6300?

What I would do is see if it fits, I never experienced the new wraith and people say am4 is different than am3+ but they look very similar, I think am4 just a little bigger.

I was thinking of testing it first but the problem is, I don't want to waste the pre-applied thermal paste that is already on the cooler so that if it doesn't fit, I can just sell the cooler as is. Hopefully someone who has tried it before can reply to this thread. I haven't seem to be able to find answers for the question elsewhere either.

The Ryzen cooler needs to be screwed on and the holes of am3 don't align so no use trying it.

Thank you very much!
