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.
Zalman CNPS20X
7.9 / 10 Expert Rating
An aggressively priced RGB flagship-class dual-tower for builders who want the look without premium-brand cost.
