Mike, thanks for showing things everyday people actually use and buy. This video and your bios flashback videos are super helpful for people on a budget.

[@mikesunboxing]

thanks appreciate those kind words.

[@skystalker7700]

Stock AMD fans work well! At least they keep temperatures in a reasonable range, unlike the stock Intel coolers. Ick. Thanks, Mike!

[@mikesunboxing]

they are okay to some extent and as a stop gap until a decent tower cooler is on offer

[@Alpha-tj3rb]

Just seeing this now thank you so muc. you fixed the single problem that was stopping me from using my PC. You earned a new subscriber.

[@mikesunboxing]

Thanks for the sub! welcome to the family

[@JeannieLove]

Thanks, even though I had it sitting on top of the box, I didn't realize there was a backplate that was being pushed away.

[@uglybob7505]

Ah the trusty stock Ryzen kewler. Always wanted the Wraith but got the Stealth with my trusty 3600. Had it installed for about a week before swapping out for a Hyper 212 Black and never looked back. Thanks for this instructional video, Mike and Kath :-)

[@mikesunboxing]

this cooler is the bane of many peoples builds either installing removing or just getting too hot, hopefully the video will be informative and give some of the newbies a bit of confidence when using it

[@remy9240]

That lateral twist really saved my ass. Thanks mate!!

[@mikesunboxing]

glad it helped

[@Moh_arman]

Thank you for this, helped with changing my cpu cooler, much appreciated 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@mikesunboxing]

Glad it helped

[@ShroomR420]

Had nothing but trouble with this today! Wish I'd seen your video beforehand. Thought I'd readjust the cooler as I was having issues with it sitting right - as I went to take it off after loosening the screws, it pulled the whole CPU out! The pins look ok, but I haven't finished building yet.. hope it still works lol

[@mikesunboxing]

hope it all works out in the end

[@clarke.kent66]

Very very thorough and helpful. To enthusiasts this is easy but this is the kind of detail that an everyday person needs..especially liked the extra detail on how tight the screws should be and thermal paste application

[@koozt9494]

Thanks fo video! Im installing right now. Not the first time, but first time on amd. Better be sure than broke brand new mobo and cpu 🙂.

Thanks for this video, I'm familiar enough with pc assembly otherwise but I was slightly baffled by a stock cooler since I usually get my own and wasn't sure about the backplate, this cleared that up. Cheers!

Watching this as I've just ordered a 5600x 6700xt build and looking to upgrade the cooler soon. Are there any specific ones that are recommended? Great video. Subbed

[@mikesunboxing]

depends on the case and your tastes really, and of course budget. you can let me know more here or in the discord chat if you like. and thanks for the sub

[@pasananthony]

This is the best channel for beginners. I love how you showed multiple angles which I haven't seen other people do. Extremely helpful as I'm about to do my first Ryzen build.

[@mikesunboxing]

Thanks for the kind words, hope it helps you with the project

[@janwitkowsky8787]

Tiny bonus. If the sideways AMD logo on the shroud annoys one, the four screws holding that to the cooler are square form. And can be screwed off, rotated 90 degrees and screwed back in, so that the AMD logo is right side up.

[@mikesunboxing]

yes i have had to do that one or twice as my OCD kicks in sometimes at the position of the logo

[@LoRakcets]

Huhhh.., Installed it successfully.. Thanks for the video Mike , yes I too didn't like the part of tightening the screws ( that spring noises is scary), I just hope i haven't over tighten it, 😅

[@mikesunboxing]

don't worry you can't really over tighten these

[@hiro_6426]

[@PurpleSun8933]

This video helps me... but in some other way then installing the cooler. I'm aiming to install 4 ram sticks in similar mobo with similar in size cooler so I was asking myself do they even gonna fit in there. Will cooler block the first slot or not. Well, the answer is no so thank you anyway for your video, it was helpful.

[@johnstancliff7328]

when I did mine, I was kind of scared... you have to put a bit of pressure on the board to get the screws started... scared me, I thought I was going to damage the board. but I got it on... and another thing... I had an extra AM3 heat sink and checked it... it fit the board and could work if I had only gotten the processor. I absolutely love my new rig! The B450 board is so nice and my RGB lighting works great in it... my KB even syncs with the system!

[@mikesunboxing]

nice! glad it helped. what was the final specs of the machine?

[@johnstancliff7328]

@@mikesunboxing the final specs are as follows: MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max, Ryzen 5-5600G, 16 GB DDR4 2133 memory, 512GB M.2 SSD, 2 2TB HDs. Windows 10 pro. I also have 2 ODD's for burning and copying DVD's and Cd's and of course, my RGB- Cooler Master Master Fans and Light Bars

what is the Maximum Rotational Speed AMD Wraith Spire with RGB, Socket AM4 4-Pin Connector CPU Cooler With Copper Core Base & Aluminum Heatsink & 3.81-Inch Fan RGB LED and how many voluts does it have thnk you

[@mikesunboxing]

not sure sorry, i would guess around 3000rpm and most fans are 12v

[@Andy_Tibbs]

He starts installing the cooler at 11:08 your welcome

[@thatblackdude2645]

are some of the screws supposed to be close to the backplate already because i cant seem to get the others down even a cm while those go in after half a turn

[@mikesunboxing]

check the backplate is fully flush against the motherboard

[@RonHolland-xp9nm]

so its ok to push down on the cpu fan with pressure cause i was worried it was gonna damage cpu pins while my friend tightened down cooler

[@mikesunboxing]

yes a little pressure will be needed

[@rusudan9631]

planning to upgrade me 3600 to a 5700x, can i remove just the wraith stealth without taking out my entire motherboard and everything? i do not have access to the backplate in my case it will sit on it's own right?

[@mikesunboxing]

yes that is fine

[@pizzalord786]

im trying to put the fan but it makes a creeking nose and theres metal shavings coming out and it just wont fit

Hi what do I do if I can't remove the two plastic clips? The screws are far too tight and don't budge, and I'm afraid of applying more pressure in case I damage the motherboard

[@mikesunboxing]

use a larger screwdriver for more leverage

I’m having trouble with my screws they don’t want to go down at all because they don’t reach the board advise on how I can fix that problem?

make sure the backplate is flat against the motherboard, use pressure to keep it there

[@robertyu6691]

Mike, I don't have good grip with my screwdriver, so I am afraid that I might err. What should I do?

[@mikesunboxing]

use a larger handle screwdriver or ask a friend or relative, just be calm and careful and you should be okay

[@warp00009]

Thanks!

[@mikesunboxing]

No problem!

[@MGRracing]

So when they are spring loaded, you can screw them down untill they stop? Does this apply to all spring loaded coolers? Such as deepcool tower on an LGA2011-3 ? I hope so because thats what ive done.

[@mikesunboxing]

Yes that is the general rule that you keeping going until the hard stop

[@MGRracing]

Can I swap my wraith stealth for a wraith spire? Without taking anything apart on the motherboard? Is it as simple as unscrew and screw the new one? (thermal paste I know)

Please all I ask is that somebody tells me how to make the bolt screw in

[@mikesunboxing]

make sure the backplate is totally flat against the board and never thigten any of the screws more than half a turn or so when starting or the one side will be too low and force the other side up

[@vuxs6721]

Installing this thing while the motherboard is already in the case is a nightmare

yes the pressure needed with am4 is nuts, AM5 is much easier
