AMD Wraith Prism vs Fractal Design Lumen S24 v2: Comparison

AMD Wraith Prism vs Fractal Design Lumen S24 v2 noise level compared

These two are close on paper, and noise level is the only measure that separates them at all: AMD Wraith Prism 42 dBA against Fractal Design Lumen S24 v2 33.2 dBA. Fan count runs the same way, 1 on the AMD Wraith Prism versus 2 on the Fractal Design Lumen S24 v2, another win for Fractal Design Lumen S24 v2. AMD Wraith Prism also leads on max speed, 2800 RPM on the AMD Wraith Prism versus 2000 RPM on the Fractal Design Lumen S24 v2.

AMD Wraith Prism vs Fractal Design Lumen S24 v2: which one fits your build

it is not the pick for overclocking or sustained heavy workloads and noise-sensitive builds. It is equally the pick for budget builds using the CPU it was bundled with at stock clocks. It is the wrong buy for anyone buying a cooler separately, where budget aftermarket options perform better for similar or less money. The Fractal Design Lumen S24 v2 suits budget 240mm-radiator builds wanting some RGB and Fractal Design case owners, though it is the wrong buy for High-TDP flagship CPUs needing 360mm cooling and buyers wanting maximum RGB brightness/effects. Our rating of the AMD Wraith Prism (6.5/10): 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. Our rating of the Fractal Design Lumen S24 v2 (7.3/10): A budget-friendly 240mm AIO that adds tasteful RGB without a big price jump.
