AMD creates a list of Threadripper compatible CPU coolers

 

Anyone who is well acquainted with AMD’s new Ryzen Threadripper series of CPUs will know that its TR4 socket is massive and as such will not be compatible with most existing CPU cooling solutions.  

 

Thankfully AMD has worked to address this issue by creating a list of Ryzen Threadripper compatible CPU coolers, which will help end users to purchase an appropriate cooling solution. This list will be updated over time and is currently available to view here. 

 

 

It’s super simple: included with every AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPU is a free mounting bracket that enables compatibility with a wide range of premium closed-loop liquid cooling (CLC) solutions. These beautiful CLCs will keep your new Threadripper chip nice and chilly, and we maintain a list of over 20 solutions that are compatible with the included bracket. We’ll be updating the list regularly for you!

There are also cooling solutions on the way that do not use AMD’s provided bracket, and those will be added to the official list over time as well. Before purchasing such a solution, verify with the manufacturer or retailer that the cooler includes out-of-box sTR4 support. Some coolers pre-date the Ryzen Threadripper CPU, and are receiving mid-production updates after a certain date to include the compatible mounting hardware.
