The first test I did is to enter in the BIOS and see the CPU temperature at idle. After few minutes, the CPU temperature reached 58°C.

In CPU-Z benchmark, the Ryzen 7 5800X is +22% faster in single thread and up to +70% faster in the multi-threaded test:The Wraith Stealth saw the Ryzen processor hit 90 degrees and that's far from ideal, at this temperature the R5 3600 still maintained 4050 MHz but it had to be close to dropping down to 4000 MHz, as this is the very frequency we saw with the copper version of Intel's box cooler and it only ran a degree hotter.

The Wraith Stealth cooler does a good job of keeping your computer cool, especially for the CPUs it's designed for. While it might not be the best choice for super powerful processors, it keeps temperatures stable for most people, even when gaming or doing other demanding tasks. Noise Performance: I tested the sound levels with an app on my s10 (I know this isn't the most scientific test) and it was reading between 45 - 55db about 2 inches away from the fan and about 25DB when resting about 2 feet away infront of my keyboard. I had it away from the stream of air and made sure my room was silent during testing. This seems unnaturally loud considering the measurements I had read were around 42dB.Moving to the Wraith Spire increased the load temperature by 6 degrees and although the CPU is now running hotter the fan speed for the Spire only maxed out at 1700 RPM so the operating volume was much the same. VRM temps also remained much the same. Installing the Wraith Stealth cooler is super easy because it works with AMD's mounting system. Most people won't have any trouble setting it up, which makes it great for beginners building their first computer or anyone who wants a simple experience. Cooling Performance: Intel used the copper insert version for not just the Sandy Bridge i5 and i7 processors, but also for the Ivy Bridge and Haswell generations. By the time Skylake was released Intel dumped the copper model entirely, in favor of the cheaper aluminum model. In other words, CPUs such as the 6-core/12-thread Core i7-8700 came with the lousy aluminum cooler which I recall testing about how it throttled and ran at 100 C out of the box. With just a single exhaust fan to expel air from the case the CPU takes 90 seconds to exceed 90°C and is at 95°C and thermally throttling at the 7 minute mark. The Ryzen 7 5800X is a 105W TDP processor. Even if the Wraith Stealth has been developed for a 65W TDP CPU, let’s see if it can cool a 105W TDP CPU.
