Fractal Design Announces Compatibility with Intel X299 and AMD X399
Users wanting cooling efficiency on the latest generation of processors from Intel and AMD need not worry about support. Those making a move to AMD's TR4 based Threadripper CPU will find the compatible Asetek retention kit included in their retail CPU package.
“We are excited to cooperate with AMD on their new Threadripper CPU lineup. By including the retention kit with the processor we have ensured that the solutions provided by Fractal Design support the entire spectrum of HEDT offerings," said John Hamill, Asetek Chief Operating Officer. Users making a move to the latest LGA 2066 socket found on the X299 series of Intel based motherboards will find full compatibility for the socket via the included 2011-v3 kit inside the Fractal Design Celsius AIO packaging.
The Celsius S24 and S36 are currently available now globally. Read our review here.

Im worried about the lifespan of Fractal Design coolers..
Edit: I guess they should be as durable as all Asetek coolers?
Edit 2: Some buyers say the pump dies after 1-2 years.

should not be a problem on the "newer" design (larger hose).
get one from corsair, since they cover all parts (getting damaged) if it fails within 5y.

one reason i like the fact the mount is incl, it shows whos using an Asetek design for their AIO and allows me to steer around them.
i dont expect them to be on the level of EK, but know issues with leaks/pumps failing make me rather look for non-asetek based LC (like alphacool/EK etc).
