Hello, i just got my r5 1600 cpu and i was wondering if i can remove the coolermaster 212 evo from my old fx8320 system and replace that one with the wraith spire so i can push my 1600 a bit further and keep it cool under full load, first of all is the wraith spire enough to handle fx 8320 on stock? And can that actually happen?
 
Solution
The wraith spire is a 95W TDP cooler; it certainly is good enough for the 65W Ryzen, but not for a 125W CPU. Another issue is that it doesn't fit a socket AM3+ motherboard.
