Wow that takes me back, I think in 2001 I may of been still running a AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.4ghz, the gpu a 3DFX Voodoo 3000.

i would. youve spent decent money on everything else ...

I'm going to consider that Frost Spirit, I like the looks, it has RGB and it's a pretty easy install.

Yeah I have a couple of wraiths laying around and I only use them on really low end chips because those things scream lol There are a lot of really good cooler in the $25-35 range that would be a nice improvement.

Your average gaming clock speeds might be a little higher with a better cooler, but the difference isn't significant. On my 7800X3D a dual tower air cooler like the AK620 has average gaming clocks of around 4825mhz (-20 offset, PBO) and a 360 AIO...

The Wraith is not a quiet cooler, that I can attest to, although when it's ramped up I have headphone on. So it seems I may gain a little bit in performance and slightly better temps, but it sounds like the noise is more of the issue, which is...

Like the others said, yeah, maybe you'll see a little bit of a boost. I think the real improvement over what you have now might be noise levels. The Thermalrights, that Cooler Master, and like tower coolers with their larger surface area and...

The only times I see it hit 70ish is during cut scenes, normal gaming the 7800X3D is running between 50-60C...maybe I should of specified that upfront.

your cpu may boost higher for longer and if a game reacts to that then yes. horrorshow is right that what you have is fine, and its keeping the cpu well within spec but see above, and it might do it cooler. iirc those chips start slowing down...

You're fine with your current cooler my friend

I actually like the Frost Spirit a lot, thanks for pointing those out. So would the gains be significant in gaming performance, or would it be negligible. I just don't want to go through the hassle of removing the Wraith and installing the new...
