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.
Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120
8.5 / 10 Expert Rating
An excellent value dual-tower cooler in its own right, just slightly outclassed by Thermalright's own SE variant when both are priced closely.
