A few days ago AMD's Ryzen stock coolers have appeared online, showcasing their new cooler design. According to the latest reports from Videocardz, one of them might use Intel-style push-pins and the second one comes with a different retention kit. The coolers are capable of removing either 95 or 140 Watts of TDP depending on the model.


The two new coolers go by the name "Spire" and "Wraith Max" and while the first is designed for CPUs with a TDP of 95W, the second is for high-end CPUs with up to 140W TDP. With "Wraith Max", is AMD’s refined version of the original Wraith CPU cooler that can be found on AMD FX-series CPUs. According to the latest rumors, this model will be included with "Black Edition" CPUs in order to offer better temperatures with overclocked processors at a lower noise level.

With the lower-end CPUs AMD will ship the "Spire" CPU cooler which looks very similar to Intel's stock cooler. This particular cooler should be capable of dealing with processors generating 95W of heat, making it compatible with the entire AMD Ryzen lineup. However with a TDP of 95W it is not recommended for AMD’s XFR (eXtended Frequency Range) technology and any manual overclocking. Although most PC enthusiast will use aftermarket coolers, it is also great to see that AMD is trying to change the standard CPU cooler.

Furthermore thanks to a leak from Videocardz we also know what the IHS of the upcoming Ryzen CPUs looks like. According to a couple of pictures published yesterday, the new IHS is very similar to what we have always seen from AMD. The external design is the standard one that can be found on AMD FX series or APU series CPUs. The IHS is completely flat and reports Ryzen branding, data, CPU's name and model number.
