Verdict
AMD Wraith Prism
6.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A genuinely decent bundled cooler for its era, worth keeping for a budget build but not worth buying separately once you compare it to current low-cost aftermarket coolers.
ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280
8.5 / 10 Expert Rating
Outstanding thermal value at 280mm — the VRM fan is a genuinely useful extra most AIOs lack.
