AMD Wraith Prism vs SilverStone PF360: which one fits your build

it is not the pick for overclocking or sustained heavy workloads and noise-sensitive builds. The same goes for budget builds using the CPU it was bundled with at stock clocks. Avoid it for anyone buying a cooler separately, where budget aftermarket options perform better for similar or less money. The SilverStone PF360 is the one to take for builds wanting a distinctive flat-radiator aesthetic and 360mm-radiator cases with good exhaust, though it is not built for noise-sensitive builds and buyers wanting the lowest dBA at a given TDP. 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 SilverStone PF360 (7.1/10): A visually distinctive 360mm AIO that trades some acoustic efficiency for its shrouded look.
