Finally a video with closeups taken from different sides. Was really embarassing to know how to take it apart and reassemble everything back yet not understanding how to install it. I didn't realize pushing the lever over the middle is an actual thing - thought it would break something. Dropping a big like for this one!

Just what I wanted, thanks!

Great clear tutorial, thank you!

You don't have to use both cables...use the USB cable to use the AMD Wraith app to control it (more options), or use the ARGB cable to use AMD Mystic Light and sync it with your other fans. Don't use either and it will light up with a default color scheme.

The Wraith Prism is one of the most visually and aesthetically pleasing air coolers that exist. I bought one and installed it on my Ryzen 5 3600 instead of other aftermarket coolers. I've also bought a Noctua NH-C14S to use in the future because I genuinely prefer top-down coolers over tower coolers thanks to the Wraith Prism. Maybe you could do a review on the NH-C14S and the Noctua NH-L12S which are also low profile coolers.

Insert the non clamp tab of the prism first then to get the clamp side in, press in at the top of the non clamp side and it’ll loosen up the clamp side for an effortless fit.

I like of the care and detailing in this video. Actually I'm here because I installed a "classic" hyper tx3 evo on my new x3d cpu, and I'm a bit worried about the mounting pressure it exerts on the mobo. I suspected this cooler, installed in the same way, with a lever and the brackets, bent the mobo. Sure, the am4 mobos come with a proper robust backplate, but I'm still a bit scaried. Seeing the video I noticed the screws have a good depth on them, so I loosen them up a bit, enough to not prolong beyond the backplate. What do you think? Too much worrying for nothing?

I'm having so much trouble finding something that matches the look and performance of these stock prism coolers. i know for sure i can swap it out for a tower cooler that will drop temps more than a few degrees but the look of a chunky metal tower cooler in my case feels like an eyesore IMO. Is there anything you know of that matches the style and look of the wraith coolers but also drop the temps a bit while not being overly expensive? I've also been checking out some noctua low profile heatsinks that i'm thinking i can just swap out the fan for an rgb one but that seems more costly for just a small reduction in temps. What are your thoughts on just keeping the prism or maybe even modding it for better cooling?

Good video. Perhaps do a follow up video on how to remove that cooler & cpu. I bought a 2700x cpu and installed it with this included cooler, the new motherboard was dead, I accidentally bent a bunch of cpu pins while taking off & reinstalling the 2700x on another new motherboard. I hadn't installed an AMD cpu in a long while, since the AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE. It was a refreshed learning lesson, I gave the 2700x away to someone who managed to bend back the pins and get it working and bought a Ryzen 3600 instead, it's still working.

10:10 This cooler can be so damn frustrating to mount if you're reinstalling it into a existing build, vs a new build where the motherboard isn't mounted in the case yet. If the lever seems impossible to move into it's locked position to the point it's hurting your fingers, STOP. Take a break, and then look at the cooler and check it's actually flat ON the CPU and not all cock-eyed. You might want to remove your GPU so you can get a better view. The metal pieces that clip into the plastic base shouldn't be difficult to snap on as long as the cooler is flat against the CPU, otherwise you'll be in a world of hurt.
