Overview of Compatible Coolers For Ryzen Threadripper Processors

Overview of Compatible Coolers For Ryzen Threadripper Processors

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.

Preorders for the AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors went live yesterday, and those with a CPU on the way may be wondering what cooler to buy for the 4094-pin sTR4 socket on the AMD X399 motherboards. Well, my friends, wonder no longer!

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)

Not necessarily, Most of the size is due to the large number of pins. The actual Die area is relatively small.

Its interesting that theyd use gold as a coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch buffer and indium tin solder on blanks that produce no heat, so the package should be REALLY stable like a fully functional Epyc. Guess the gold costs less than validating a different heat spreader.

@kastriot
why?

the cores are soldered, not just thermal paste, so that already gives much better transfer than most intels will do.
besides that, dies have a HS for a reason. it helps getting heat away from the cpu, so there is not gonna be a big difference WHERE it covers the HS, but how LARGE the area is.

now compare the spreader of the hot intel's with that of TR, which has a lower TDP as well.

so if intel can cool a hotter cpu with a smaller HS than TR, i assume, without any oc, any decent heatsink will work (that can cope with the TDP).

TR has a higher TDP (180W vs 140W), or which specs have you been reading? :)
