AMD Retires Wraith Prism and Spire, Scales Back Stock Coolers on Select Ryzen CPUs

Updated listings indicate fewer in-box coolers from August 1, shifting more of the cooling burden to buyers.

Overview

  • AMD’s product text marks the SR4 (Wraith Prism) and SR2a (Wraith Spire) coolers as End of Life with changes effective 8/1/2025.
  • Select Ryzen 7000 and 5000 boxed models will no longer include a cooler, with reporting citing chips such as the Ryzen 9 7900 and Ryzen 7 7700.
  • MPK versions of certain Ryzen 8000G, 7000 and 5000 parts transition to the smaller Wraith Stealth (SR1), with retail listings in Japan already reflecting the swap.
  • Outlets report no immediate CPU price changes, increasing the likelihood that buyers without a cooler will need an aftermarket solution.
  • The update was first spotted in AMD’s product-ID rollovers by X user momomo_us and follows AMD’s broader move to ship most Ryzen 9000 CPUs without bundled coolers.
