Hello, I have 2 coolers,
first I got from pre-built system:

SilentiumPC CPU Fera 2 HE1224

and second i got from AMD FX 8350 wraith max cooler:

AMD Wraith Max Cooler RGB LED

I know AMD Stock coolers are bad but this is looking good, but I dont care much about design, I care if it is loud or silent and effective so,
like I want to know If my prebuilt cooler is more silent and effective than the AMD MAX WRAITH COOLER

Thank you in advance for your answer

The Fera2 is decent, but a few years old. Similar in performance to a 212 EVO.

Wraith? Or Wraith Max? The Wraith Max RGB LED is the high-end stock Ryzen cooler.... The Wraith is an older, loud, fairly mediocre cooler.

If the Wraith Max from Ryzen, it's actually pretty comparable with a 212 EVO, so going to be very similar with the Fera2....

and how I can connect this Wraith max cooler to not RGB supported mobo Gigabyte 970A- DS3P rev2.0, and would it be changing colors randomly or it would just stuck at 1 color? Also I know there are some AM3+ Motherboards wich supports RGB AURA SYNC but they are all sold out..

I heard that the AMD coolers where pretty good. Even Linus tech tips says they are good. Maybe thats just in comparison to Intel.

I have the Ryzen 5 2600x and it doesnt seem that cool. Its around 39C. I was tempted to buy either the high end noctua heatsink or get the corsair liquid cooler.

Yeah I watched the Linus Tech tips too, but benchmarks are telling difference
