Discussion Intel LGA 1200 "new stock CPU cooler" vs AMD Wraith Stealth cooler

[Asterox]

An interesting or very informative CPU coolers comparison.As we see, 65W or 100W TDP comparison "new Intel stock CPU cooler" won the title as the the most successful noise producer.

Wraith Stealth has larger fan(95mm), and with maximum up to 2000 RPM fan speed.

Intel has taken the cheapest route, therefore as possible smaller fan+very high RPM.I think we can imagine, what the cooling performance would be with only or around 2000 RPM.

how did he get the AMD coolers to mount properly?
Without proper mounting meaning you having heavily modify the sink's retention system, i do not think the AMD results can accurate on an intel processor platform.

Came here to say the above.
Is it fair or even possible to compare coolers that are not designed to fit?
