AMD Phases Out Wraith Prism and Wraith Spire Coolers for Ryzen 5000, 7000, and 8000G CPUs

After nearly seven years since their introduction, AMD has decided to retire its well-known Wraith Prism and Wraith Spire stock coolers, which have traditionally accompanied various Ryzen processors.

AMD Discontinues Wraith Prism and Wraith Spire Coolers; Introduces Wraith Stealth for Ryzen 5000, 7000, and 8000 Series

AMD has made updates to the product IDs of several Ryzen processors in the 5000, 7000, and 8000 series, indicating that the iconic Wraith Prism and Wraith Spire coolers have reached their end of life status. These coolers debuted alongside the Ryzen 2000 series in 2018, and as of August 1, 2025, they will no longer be included with many newer Ryzen models.

Notable changes, as identified by tech leaker @momomo_us, show that processors like the Ryzen 7 8700G, Ryzen 7 7700, and Ryzen 9 7900 will now utilize updated product IDs signaling this transition. Furthermore, specific WeU updates reveal that the AMD SR4 (Wraith Prism) and AMD SR2a (Wraith Spire) coolers will no longer accompany these processors. Notably, the Ryzen 9 7900 and Ryzen 7 7700 will not have a replacement for the Wraith Prism. However, for MPK models like the Ryzen 7 8700G and Ryzen 5 3400G, the Wraith Spire will be replaced with the Wraith Stealth cooler.

The discontinuation has already been implemented, and various online retailers, including Japan’s Nojima, are listing models such as the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G and Ryzen 5 3400G with the Wraith Stealth cooler replacing the Wraith Spire. While the prices of these CPUs are expected to remain stable, users of models lacking replacement coolers may find it necessary to invest in aftermarket cooling solutions—even if they opt not to overclock their setups.

The Wraith Stealth serves as the smallest cooler in AMD’s lineup, lacking RGB lighting, and is regarded as less robust compared to its counterparts, the Wraith Prism and Wraith Spire, which feature larger heatsinks designed for superior thermal performance. Historically, both the Wraith Prism and Wraith Spire provided adequate cooling for standard use, making aftermarket coolers an option primarily for those looking to overclock their CPUs.
