AMD Thermal Solutions and Desktop Processors

AMD CPU Desktop

Giddy up, gamers! It just got easier and more affordable to build a high-performance system for online and eSports gaming that runs cool and near-silent. Today, AMD launched new thermal solutions, including the flagship AMD Wraith Cooler, as well as the new AMD A10-7860K and AMD Athlon™ X4 845 desktop processors. 

New thermal solutions

AMD has heard your concerns about stock coolers, and we’re stepping up the game for select processors. Near silent? No problem. AMD now offers two new thermal solutions that make one-tenth the noise of past coolers, running at a near silent 39 decibels.i,ii 

The AMD Wraith Cooler combines near silent performance with a sleek, illuminated style for those who believe that your PC should not only run smoothly and silently, but look good doing it. Wraith is shipping now with the AMD FX™ 8370 CPU. 

In addition to the Wraith Cooler, AMD is introducing the new Near-Silent AMD 95W Thermal Solution that also offers the same virtually silent performance without the extra bling as the Wraith. These stock coolers are included with select AMD desktop processors, including the new AMD A10-7860K and new AMD Athlon™ X4 845, as well as the AMD A8-7670K, A8-7650K and the Athlon X4 870K and 860K.

i Subject to use according to product specifications. The AMD Wraith cooler has a maximum noise level of 39dbA. The AMD D3 cooler, which the Wraith Cooler has replaced on certain CPUs, has a maximum noise level of 51 dbA. In the logarithmic dbA scale, a ten decibel difference is equal to ten times the amount of noise, so the AMD Wraith Cooler generates less than one tenth the noise of its predecessor. WTH-1
