AMD Ryzen Threadripper might get AIO LCS Liquid cooling bundled

AMD Ryzen Threadripper might get AIO LCS Liquid cooling bundled

Granted, it is a bit of a long shot to call this news-item accurate. But on the web right now rumors are surfacing that the new Threadripper processor, which have a 180W TDP, will get a liquid cooling kit (or optional with the processors). 

This news in fact would likely make Intel even more nervous as that would offer nice additional value. As you know, AMD will do and offer a LOT of make Threadripper as attractive as possible. Both initial processors are fully unlocked and seat themselves onto the new Socket TR4. It is confirmed that this processor and X399 motherboard platform is based on quad-channel memory capability, and as previously already shared that massive processor will offer you a staggering 64 lanes of PCI Express.

  • The flagship processor is the Ryzen Threadripper 1950X, a 16-core product that will get a 3.4 GHz nase frequency with the ability to precision boost to 4.0 GHz (!). These processors are SMT, thus ‘hyper-threaded’ towards 32 threads. This processor will retail for 999 USD.
  • The Ryzen Threadripper 1920X is the 12-core product, the base clock is a notch higher at 3.5 GHz with precision boost to 4.0 GHz, thus SKU will get 24 threads. This processor will retail for 799 USD.

Earlier on in the FX-9590 FX series AMD also bundled a 120mm LCS kit with the processors, those however where optional. It is indicated by the sources that Threadripper would be available in Asia on August 10th. For now, this remains to be rather speculative though as the validity of this news cannot be verified as it was posted in a suggestive manner at Hermitage Akihabara.

Yikes, and I thought $1000 for a 16c/32t was a bargain, without any cooler at all. If this is true, this would be the icing on the cake, especially considering the 7900X (and likely other models) supply no cooler.

I am a little doubtful of this though, for 2 reasons:
1. I figure a large heatpipe heatsink would've worked fine. There are heatsinks out there that support a TDP of 180W. Due to the surface area of TR, heat dissipation ought to be easier to accomplish, despite the thermal output. A normal air cooler would be large, but likely still smaller in total volume than an AIO. I don't suspect the average TR user intends to build a low-profile PC, and I'm sure we'll never see an ITX board. All that being said, it seems to me an AIO cooler is a little overkill.
2. Due to its gargantuan size, socket TR4 likely has no existing compatible heatsinks. With AMD shipping an already very good cooler out-of-the-box, they are really alienating 3rd party sources. The last thing AMD needs is to displease companies that support their products. On the other hand, perhaps AMD would ship this cooler because there are no 3rd party heatsinks, and they don't want people annoyed that they have no way of properly cooling their new CPU when overclocked.

I could possibly see them offer this, however I would expect the so-far known prices to be those for the CPU only (ie. a "tray" version as it may be), and a "boxed" version with any potential cooler might cost something extra. In that case the "value" doesn't really increase any further.

If they don't do that, I can see many people complaining about paying for a relatively expensive cooler (lets face it, even mediocre AIOs don't come that cheap), just to replace it with a more high-end cooler on their own.

Very interesting indeed. Wonder is this will be on the X version or if the non-X chips will get it?

This would indeed add a lot more value to TR. I'm a little doubtful as well since I don't think even AMD would go that far (if they do, I hope it's optional, and that they charge extra for it). No need to give away the store here, as TR already looks like it will offer tremendous value.

An optional AIO would be nice, especially since I've heard very little on coolers for TR4 - only Noctua has a product for it, and that was a prototype. I'm waiting for a company like EK to announce a water block, and the silence is disconcerting, to say the least. I have the parts for a custom loop and would love to use them on TR, but I'm missing the most important part.

I would be interested in this (at extra cost) only if the price were relatively cheap and I could hack it into my existing custom loop :)

This could be however a very nice move by AMD to bring much more reasonably priced AIO setups to their high end customers.
