the Sun had long since fallen out of the sky by the time Josh finished giving Kyle the scoop on fractals define nano ass after all Josh liked to talk a lot and that's why this is the best mini ITX case in the world Kyle gave his familiar nod of approval as he admired his friends work fighting the urge to flail his arms like a marionette on speed which had long been his trademark actually you kind of nailed you there come on dude that claim is completely unfounded and you know it you know whatever what are the drives go on this thing they're back here lust with emotion they stared longingly into each other's eyes an unspoken desire but emotion longingly there was no longingly okay let's let's just try to yeah right I mean okay so what else can we stuff in this thing no dials Freudian slip betrayed his true emotions his heart taking over for his mind okay dude I thought you got the narrator from the Martian audiobook not fifty shades of gray I know I know man this is not how I expected this pre-roll to go but I promise man I'll make it up you know it's okay man I know it's not your fault I'm sorry you guys choose your own adventure with the defined nos from fractal design the case offers custom water cooling options full size hardware support and top-class cable management and a compact design click the link in the description for more info this has been narrated for u by RC brain for fractal design for fractal dist what's up gas so a few weeks back I asked you instagramers out there what you'd like to see done with AMD's new flagship Kaveri APU the a 1078 90 K as it turns out most of you were actually more interested in the new wraith cooler that comes bundled with the chip seems these days the apu has become the last kid to get picked in gym class which i think qualifies it to be my spirit animal but I totally get it for years we've been stuck with the same AMD stock coolers that run hotter than a kidney garage sale with an acoustic profile that could rival a buzz saw so it's really no surprise that folks are anxious to see what the new rave cooler brings to the table I should mention that since it is a stock cooler you'll only be able to find it bundled with the 78 90 K and the FX 83 74 now so taking a closer look the first thing I noticed about the cooler is that it's huge AMD hasn't compensated this much since the r9 295x2 and granted size doesn't always reflect performance if you know what I'm saying but I can't deny that seeing a big piece of hardware in my hands just makes me want to mount it this is also the sexiest stock cooler I've seen to date the matte black fan shroud sports a modern design and there's even a white LED on the side that's more unexpected than your oculus rift arriving on time the unit features a new 92 millimeter fan a record high for stock coolers and what's this a sleeved 3 pin cable what better way to mask the ketchup and mustard filth that lurks beneath the unit also features a fairly dense heatsink and for copper heat pipes to pull heat away from the wide copper base plate offering a cooling capacity up to 125 watt tvp's you get the same retention mounting mechanism as seen on past AMD stock coolers which will either be met with praise or pitchforks depending on who you ask being the stud I am mounting only took a few seconds and wasn't so much a problem as the Wraith coolers RAM clearance upon installation I was shocked to sit back and realize that the cooler was feeling at my memory and what was clearly a non-consensual act usually I like to watch but the force was just a little bit too aggressive for my taste here so I removed the stick to avoid chill damage the incident took place on a gigabyte f2 a 88 X and Wi-Fi motherboard of the Mini ITX variety a form factor that's likely more prone for such violations to occur and while low-profile dims could have avoided the issue it's still strange to see a stock cooler that's not 100% compatible with other parts it's like having a pair of one-size-fits-all shoes but no feet actually it's nothing like that I'm pretty impressed with the rave cooler at this point but like all hardware performance reigns above all else so I fired up all three of our stock coolers here to see how well they can handle our 95 watt TDP 7890 K when gaming our APU shot up to an alarming 101 degrees Celsius with our basic bitch cooler and 97 degrees Celsius on the old but slightly beefier unit how the system didn't auto shutdown or blow up in my face I'm still not sure the Wraiths cooler maxed out at 83 degrees Celsius which limits your Headroom for overclocking but it's still significantly cooler than its potato predecessors of course even the chilliest of temps are unwelcome if they're burdened with teenage girl grade noise levels so let's listen in to the load acoustics of our coolers from loudest to quietest on our test bed with a gtx 960 running GTA 5 surprisingly the smallest cooler was an atrocious sounding though still quite audible over the sound of our power supply and graphics card the larger stock cooler on the other hand was so loud I'd rather live by an airport surrounded by train tracks than use it regularly proving the Wraiths cooler to have the quietest profile of the three by a sizable margin despite the minor clearance issues with small form-factor motherboards the Wraith keeps its promise of a cooler quieter solution to AMD system builders and score some style points for having a premium aftermarket appearance for the first time in a long time the bar has been raised for what a stock cooler should be an Intel could take a page out of their competitors book on making a stock cooler that offers more than just the bare minimum but that is all for now guys let me know
