Some CPUs will now no longer have a bundled cooler

    The last time I used the including Wraith coolers, they were pretty good. Although this was with a 1700X, so a while ago.

    AMD already moved away from including boxed coolers entirely with the Ryzen 9000 series, arguing that higher-end CPUs are paired with aftermarket solutions anyways. The only exception to this is the Ryzen 5 9600, which fittingly ships with a Wraith Stealth — so that’s safe.

    This is a fair and justified move. The high(er) end CPUs are typically used with aftermarket solutions.

      Yes, the idea of moving to a unified better cooler (that would be a just a dollar more expensive) is so stupid.
