Wraith PRISM Vs. 360MM AIO Water Cooler for 3700X & 3900X

2019-07-08
right here I'm holding AMD's Wraith prism Kula which was released with their last year previous generation rise in 2000 chips namely the horizon 720 700 X was easily the best included Box cooler I have seen to date with any CPU having the RGB bling and also having the cooling performance however this time around the risin 730 700 X and also all the X CPU line up in the risin 3000 series chips include this cooler and so especially coming in at a price point of 329 dollars for the 8 core 16 threaded 3700 X I decided to run some tests here today where I'm comparing this cooler against a 360 millimetre radiator on an X 570 board as well as throwing in an x3 70 motherboard to see if you really need to go out and spend that extra money on a bigger and beefier cooler when it comes to getting the most out of your 8 core 16 threaded chip I've also decided to test out the 3900 X which is currently the flagship desktop CPU from AMD the 12 core option and they will be releasing the 3950 X later this year but the 3900 X also comes included with the Wraiths prism so with the TDP coming in at 125 watts it got me thinking how much performance would you be losing if you just stuck with this over going out and spending your hard-earned on a bigger more expensive cooler let's find out welcome back to check yesterday without wasting any more of your time we've decided to run a few different tests here at different settings first of all I tested out the deep cool castle 360 mil water cooler this comes included with three fans and they have improved the design of this cooler especially compared to deep pools previous water coolers where I thought they're really mediocre this one does an excellent job of cooling as well as keeping the noise down but that aside we decided to test the precision boost overdrive to settings where if you guys haven't seen my review yet I'll put the link up here basically the PBO two settings on the x5 70 motherboards was phenomenal to the point where it finds the sweet spot for your CPU automatically in terms of single threaded and multi-threaded clock speeds and it does an excellent job basically my recommendation would be to go out get one of these chips arise in 3000 CPUs put it in the next 570 motherboard and just have happy days but what if you want to micro and say get a cheaper motherboard like an X 370 or B 350 which does support the new matias if you use and still use this race cooler well let's pull up the results for you guys first of all with the 3700 X we managed to get Cinebench our xx scores that were really close to each other with the water cooler versus the ray prism and then going over to the gaming benchmarks far cry new dawn we had a hundred and twenty average FPS versus a hundred and twenty average fps Tom Clancy's the division 2 did show a slightly higher score but again this is so negligible and it really makes the argument for the r8 being an exceptional value for money option with this CPU now the all core clocks on an Ida 64 stress test after 10 minutes we did see the old core clock speeds on the 3700 X max out to around 4.2 gigahertz where the Wraiths prism that went down to around 4 point 1 to 5 gigahertz the power consumption on both stayed around 90 watts the temperatures on the race did go up to around 85 degrees whereas on the castle they did go to 71 degrees so there was a 14 degree difference and also a seventy-five megahertz old boost clock speed difference but really when it comes down to is it worth that extra 150 dollars for something that really isn't that big of a difference I'll let you guys be the judge with that one but let's look up next the race on the 3900 X where it actually performed quite surprisingly very similar to the 3700 X the gaming benchmarks showed similar fps in Far Cry New Dawn and moving over to Tom Clancy's the division 2 we did get a slight FPS boost on the watercooler by about 4 average fps now in terms of temperatures they were in favor of the water cooler by about 10 degrees where we maxed out at 81 degrees and that had an all-call boost again of roughly 4.2 gigahertz it does tend to fluctuate however so it's very hard to get an exact reading because that's how PBO to boost works it's essentially constantly changing the clock speeds on you and in the case of the single-threaded clock speeds they managed to stay around the same speeds we're on the Cinebench scores just like we saw with the 3700 X they scored roughly the same when it came to that single core count score the all core count score in the Cinebench are 20 scored only a hundred points less however this is where things get a little bit trickier because again once we're running the Ida 64 stress test over a 10-minute period we start to weed out variants so we saw a four point zero seven five or core clock speed on the race spire versus a 4.2 gigahertz so on the 3900 X it does start to make a little bit more of a difference going with an aftermarket cooling solution but also keeping temperatures down where as opposed to the race on the 3700 X the differences were pretty negligible the battle consumptions sweet spot on these tests for the 3900 X did go around 135 watts we're on the race it topped out at 134 watts consumption then on the 3900 X topped out at 136 watts so basically the precision boost overdrive to works in a number of factors it'll take into account the temperatures the voltages and also the clock speeds to quite simply automatically find a sweet spot for your current setup now I do believe this also takes into account ambient temperatures if you live in a hotter climate or a cooler climate you probably see different results to what I've got here today but the last test I decided to do with the race risen also the 3700 X was put that in a budget X 370 motherboard this is the gigabyte gaming k3 now I did have to update the BIOS to the latest f40 revision but after I did that everything booted up smoothly it even supported the 36 hundred megahertz memory that I used was CL 16 timings absolutely no problems however I found it was a little bit trickier in this BIOS because the voltage adjustments were plus and minus so they weren't as simple as whacking in say for instance 1.3 6 volt which was around about the sweet spot on a water cooler for my 4.3 gigahertz or core overclock on both the 3900 X and also the 3700 X so the options were a bit more limited on this budget motherboard but I still managed to give it plus point 1 volt and then lock in an old core speed of 4.1 gigahertz and that ran absolutely fine scoring great temperatures and keeping the power still pretty low for granted the amount of power you have on 8 cores and 16 threads and then moving over to Far Cry new dawn and also Tom Clancy's the FPS wasn't far behind that of the X 570 with precision boost overdrive to on and do keep in mind I did test this out with an r/t X 20 atti and these are in CPU demanding titles so if you're gonna go with the cookie cutter risin 730 700 X build and couple it with a cheaper motherboard and maybe get two sticks of 3000 megahertz memory and go with the mid-range graphics card you're basically gonna notice next to no difference even compared to that of a 9900 K in practically any gaming title out there so the value proposition of the race cooler is really good whether you're pairing it with an x5 70 motherboard or going with a budget motherboard it's awesome to see that AMD is just really giving so much value not just in the terms of the Zen 2 CPUs in the way of performs and also the power efficiency but also the included cooler is an extra added bonus that will do a great job and it's nothing to be afraid of I guess if you're an enthusiast and you want the latest and greatest but you still budget orientated and that you want to save the most amount of money possible getting the CPU especially the 3700 X with that included cooler and not have to worry about going out and spending extra money on a more expensive cooler is a very solid option if you just want to go with the Wraith prism and with that said I hope you guys enjoyed today's video if you did then be
