Photos leak of three AMD Ryzen stock coolers

Asian tech site HWBattle leaked render photos of the processor coolers that will ship with AMD's upcoming Zen-based processors. There are three different versions, a low-end model designed for CPUs with a TDP of up to 65W, a slighty better model capable of handling chip with a TDP of up to 95W and then also a high-performance cooler similar to the AMD Wraith cooler design. One of the new things is that each cooler has a round red LED ring.

So far we know about three Ryzen models, the launch lineup will likely consist solely of the Ryzen 7-1700, Ryzen 7-1700X and Ryzen 7-1800X. The Ryzen 7-1700 is believed to be the only model shipping with the high performance cooler, the X-models reportedly ship without a cooler because they're higher-end enthusiast models and are intended to be used with higher-end third-party coolers.



A new tweet by AMD's Raja Koduri seems to confirm this leak, the Ryzen HSF he's looking at seems similar to the high-performance model and has a round LED-illuminated ring. The LED light looks pink in this photo, VideoCardz speculates the cooler may have RGB LEDs but I think this is unlikely. It's probably just the camera registering the bright red light as pink.
