ASUS To Offer Zenith X399 motherboard cooling enhancement kit for Threadripper Gen2

ASUS To Offer Zenith X399 motherboard cooling enhancement kit for Threadripper Gen2

AMD's Ryzen Threadripper Gen2 processor series are released soon, the X399 chipset and SocketTR4 slot will be re-used and as such your motherboard can be re-used with merely a firmware upgrade. However the number of cores has jumped from 24 to 32, the TDP (thermal design power) has ryzen in TDP from 180W towards 250W.

And that means more stress on the VRMs.  The ASUS Zenith X399 has a bit of a weak spot as one section of the VRM is not 100% cooled. Ergo, ASUS will release a ROG Zenith Extreme cooling kit which holds a basic expansion heatsink, and a fan. ASUS will not introduce other new X399 motherboards that we know of.

ASUS has confirmed that the three shipped ROG Zenith Extreme, ROG Strix X399-E Gaming and Prime X399-A motherboards will not be directly bundled with the cooling kit. Asus is also currently researching whether to sell the kit separately or to allow existing users to obtain this cooling kit in the form of a registration application for free (e.g. show your invoice and receive a kit).

LOL no kidding :) You should hear their 40 mm fan in their Hyper M.2 x16 add on card. It was so high pitch and loud I ripped it out and mounted my own
Noctua 80 in front of the card and it even ran cooler and now I can't hear anything. Tiny fans usually suck especially if their not from a good fan maker like Noctua etc.

Who knows maybe it is really good but I doubt it, I would totally swap it out. Anyways the mobo looks really nice, I like the design and layout.

Weird decision to put a fan on it, because the heatsink is not designed to have a fan on it.
The airflow only hits very little of the total heatsink surface, the heatsink should have had alot more but thinner fins, like the EVGA X299 Dark.

Top exhaust fans in the case would probably be better then this emergency solution.
