These coolers will be adjustable to enable increased PCIe clearance.

Yeah, I gotta say that Noctua certainly is one of the few brands within the PC industry that truly shows how good they are. Not just that they're products are really good, their insane warranty on their products and then stuff like this.
Just shows how awesome Noctua really is... One thing that they need to change though, despite basically being their trademark, is their vomit tan and poop brown color scheme.
Once and if they do that, they will be golden

Cheaper than I was expecting

Probably means heat isn't as big of an issue as we would think

I think they just add support so they can say they added support. You have 2 Ryzen 7 dies in there, and that means 2x the heat. If you want to crank this CPU you will need some proper custom water loop.

It's not necessarily 2x the heat. Not like a linear equation at least.
Ryzen doesn't run that hot so it's not that big of an issue since it is spread out over a much larger area it could have the same sort of surface area to heat ratio that a single 1800x may have for example. Not saying this is true but Noctua obviously know what they are doing and have had samples of them for testing. So I'd be pretty confident it would work. power is a different story however...

Well if you had differences in architecture than yes the curve won't be linear. In this case i think it will be very close to linear.
And physics 101: no matter on which amount of surface you spread it on, it heat is heat.
I don't doubt that IHS will remove the heat form cores. They are soldered (not like some of the competitors), and IHS is big enough. My concern is that cooling capacity of the cooler itself won't be enough to dissipate all that heat. Remember, in Tom's tests only top AIO coolers with their fans ramped up could keep overclocked 1800X in check. All the Air ones failed, or hardly passed.
So having that in mind... If Noctua coolers struggled with one CPU die, what is the point at putting them on 2 CPU dies. That is why i have said: "they just add support so they can say they have added support."

Don't bring up physics if you don't understand what I'm trying to say or concepts which you seem to have skipped over.
It's easier to cool heat over a larger surface area than heat that is focused. That was my point. I'm not saying heat isn't heat or it won't be hot.
Example of heat compared to surface area.
If you have a lighter, light a twig. Fire starts pretty quick. Why? Heat is focused on small surface area. Take that same lighter and try to light a tree on fire. It won't work no matter how long you try. To much surface area to heat up.
I know this CPU isn't a tree or the size of one. Obviously... It's not even made of wood lol
I'm just saying it will be easier to cool than most people think. That doesn't mean it will be hot, it'll definitely be in the 70C range at minimum but the fact that AMD has such high clocks on them AND Noctua seemingly is releasing smaller coolers than a D15, it makes logical sense to conclude based off those facts that temps may not be a huge issue like some expect. Again that doesn't mean they won't get hot... I'm not even saying it won't just to be clear. Like I said earlier, may not be as big of an issue. But I could be wrong. My red flag is just lowered in regards to Temp issues but man the power consumption is going to be nuts.
It's kinda funny though. A 16/32T TR has less Power consumption than the old FX9xxx that had 225watts with only 8T. Talk about efficient

At stock speed they should be fine dude. It's only when you start cranking on the volts etc that it gets crazy with CPUs like this.
I've got a 8c 16t Ivy crammed into X79 package that hits 42c on a 240 rad (not a very good dual rad I may add) with two 600 RPM fans and the hottest I've had out of my 14 core was 47c fully loaded on a 120 AIO with single fan.
As soon as you up that voltage though, hell breaks loose (literally). These Noctuas will be used on servers and workstations IMO.
