falchard The problem with these coolers is how they dissipate heat on Thread Ripper. The CPU really requires it's own cooler design.Reply -
daglesj Issue appears to be the chip has a very flat surface but a lot of AIO/Cooler plates are very convex/concave (which works better with other chips). The size of the plate is okay it's just a case of standard mounts and plates do not provide the contact required.Reply
