Verdict

AMD Wraith Spire

6 / 10 Expert Rating

A basic but functional bundled cooler, adequate for the stock chips it ships with and easily outperformed by even inexpensive aftermarket coolers.

8.5 / 10 Expert Rating

Outstanding thermal value at 280mm — the VRM fan is a genuinely useful extra most AIOs lack.
