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.
Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black
8.9 / 10 Expert Rating
A modern-classic flagship that trades Noctua's traditional colorway for stealth without losing any thermal performance.
