Noctua will not be releasing any Threadripper TR4 mounting kits for their coolers

Seems odd. I think the D15 would be able to handle it.

I don't know fella, there is one hell of a surface area for the block to cover
Not to mention the core count. That's a lot of heat generating cores packed into that big turtle shell.

AMD should have just put 2 x 1800X dies on the same PCB instead of recycling failed Epyc units that have 2 disabled dies on the PCB, Would have made the total package 50% smaller.

Has anyone heard if the ThreadRipper CPU's are coming with liquid cooling AIO or not. I read the speculation article here, yet would love a definitive yes or no

Until they decide to release a 32 core.
yeah i guess they are all stupid at AMD and don´t know what they are doing..... you should help them out next time.
unlike intel with it´s decicion to use TIM i guess AMD has better reasons for the socket size.
i mean this socket does not come cheap.
and we don´t know what the future holds in place for the socket.

What a rip off, Noctua always said they would support future sockets with their coolers, and there's no way you're going to tell me my D15 wouldn't be able to handle it.
Let me guess, they want me to buy a new cooler with a larger contact plate that better fits the CPU's large heatspreader which is irrelevant anyway >.>

It has been confirmed that the two "extra" dies on Threadripper are just bulk silicon, IE, no transistors inside.
Threadripper isn't "failed EPYC". The extra dies are to help maintain even mounting pressure across the die.

I don't know man, the area silicon covers is probably larger than the footprint of the noctua cooler. I don't see that working well enough for Noctua's standards.

D14 and D15 have been around for years and years. Noctua have supported every single socket since launch, apart from X399. 'kin look at it man, it's massive ! you could probably mount the cooler (yourself, if you modded hard enough) but I just think the cooler plate is far, far too small. I mean the D14 was designed pretty much for the I7 920 series and the D15's plate is no bigger IIRC they just made it more compatible with memory.
Let's face it, if you are dumping a thousand pounds on a CPU and then a hefty price for the board whining about a £60 cooler is pretty daft.

The D15 is a few years old now, to say the least, it was not designed for a CPU that is that huge.
See the Noctua coolers here. See that the heatpipes are across the whole base of Threadripper.
It doesn't really matter if the CPU die area is slightly bigger than the contact plate on the cooler, that's made irrelevant by the existence of the heatspreader.

I think that's a bit extreme dude. Noctua have never done us anything terribly wrong as far as I can tell, so why would they now? I'm sure they have a valid reason and aren't just trying to milk its loyal consumers like you are suggesting.

You're free to kludge your NH-D15 on top of a threadripper die, but it's clearly not good enough a solution for Noctua themselves.
I dunno, maybe they lost too much sending out AM4 kits lol. Having measured everything, the die area of the 1950X underhangs the contact plate of a D15 by ~4.5mm at the long ends (it's a rectangular die). Which may sound scary to some but as there's a heatspreader between the too it shouldn't make any measurable difference (not within whole numbers anyway).
At the end of the day it's never going to be enough of an overlap to stop a 220w+ cooler performing excellently on a 180w CPU.
Meh I'll just make my own bracket, might even be able to sell them if Noctua aren't haha

I really think you should trust the ones who have been producing award winning products for 10+ years versus your own cobbling together of parts. I'm not suggesting you're not capable; I'm suggesting you should trust the ones who have consistently proven they are capable.
