Processors

[mlambie327]

Hi all,

Just got a Threadripper 7970X and am struggling to find cooling.  I have found this page here that says it lists compatible cooling options but none of them seem to show they fit sTR5 sockets.  Only TR4 sockets and the ones that say that also say the CPU will come with a bracket.  That would be great but I do not believe the 7970X comes with one.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

From AMD Support about the Recommended CPU Coolers for ThreadRipper processors. The page has been updated to include the new 7000 series ThreadRippers: https://www.amd.com/en/thermal-solutions-threadripper

That is one hot running processor with a TDP Rating of 350 Watts with a Maximum Operating Temperature of 95c.

I suggest you open Support Tickets with the manufacturer of the CPU Cooler listed in the Recommended list and see if or when they will come out with a sTR5 Kits.

NOTE: Don't know if this is the webpage you were referring too but it mentions in the near future CPU Cooler manufacturers will be coming out with compatible sTR5 Motherboard.

EDIT: Noctua does have a sTR5 Kit that is sells for their compatible AM4/5 and TR socket coolers: https://noctua.at/en/nm-tr5-sp6-mounting-kit

NOTE: If your sTR5 Processor didn't come with the TR4 Bracket I suggest you open a AMD Warranty Ticket and see if AMD will send you the missing bracket: https://www.amd.com/en/registration/warranty-services-portal.html
