Wraith coolers are trial & error installs
This is my first experience with a Ryzen CPU and motherboard. In general I'm finding that that the hardest part is the Wraith heatsink & fan (both versions). There's no guidance, except trial and error, for how tightly to screw down the Wraith cooler. I installed my first Wraith with, I thought, a moderate amount of screw-down pressure. But then noticed that my CPU was running at 97 degrees C, which is way too high. I backed off all 4 screws a full turn, and now my Ryzen 5-1600 is running in the 40 - 50 degree range. That's probably still too high since I'm not running any video games. But if you back all 4 screws off too far, one or more of the screws will separate from the AM4 backplate. In that case you will have to completely remove the motherboard in order to reinstall the Wraith heatsink & fan.
