On another note, AMD has posted on their blog a list of cooler compatible with Threadripper, and I have to say that one of them has surprised me
Overview of Compatible Coolers For Ryzen Threadripper Processors
http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/overview-of-compatible-coolers-for-ryzen-threadripper-processors.html
Over on the AMD blog a new entry was posted. AMD Threadripper is close to release and while an Asetek bracket is included with the processors (and thus support like 50% of the liquid coolers LCS kits out there), AMD sheds some light on which coolers are compatible.
First thing's first: included with every AMD Ryzen Threadripper is a mounting bracket that enables compatibility with the following 18 closed-loop cooling (CLC) units as of August 1, 2017. Just remove the bracket(s) included with your CLC, then install the one provided by AMD, and your cooler will be Threadripper-ready:
- Arctic Liquid Freezer 120
- Arctic Liquid Freezer 240
- Arctic Liquid Freezer 360
- Corsair Hydro Series H115i
- Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2
- Corsair Hydro Series H105
- Corsair Hydro Series H80iv2
- Cryorig A80
- Cryorig A40 Ultimate
- Cryorig A40
- EVGA CLC 280
- NZXT Kraken X62
- NZXT Kraken X61
- NZXT Kraken X52
- Thermaltake Riing 3.0 RGB 360
- Thermaltake Riing 3.0 RGB 240
- Thermaltake Water 3.0 Ultimate
- Thermaltake Water 3.0 Extreme
As of August 1, 2017, there are also another 9 Threadripper-ready coolers on the way that do not use the AMD-provided mounting bracket. Please confirm with the manufacturer or retailer before purchase, as some of these models pre-date Threadripper and are being updated in production to include the sTR4 hardware:
- Arctic Freezer 33
- Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
- TBA EKWB waterblock for DIY loops
- TBA EKWB CLC
- Enermax Liqtech TR4 360
- Enermax Liqtech TR4 240
- Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3 (air)
- Noctua NH-U12S TR4-SP3 (air)
- Noctua NH-U9 TR4-SP3 (air)
I won't deny that it's a good cooler, but will the 212 EVO really be able to cope with a Threadripper processor?
