Fragile AMD Threadripper cooler bracket ?
Fragile AMD Threadripper cooler bracket ?
This CPU comes with some kind of bracket to mount existing coolers. This has me worried a bit. Their previous AMD X2 3800+ plastic design fractured because of metal screws into plastic causing micro fractures which eventually tore itself apart because of fan vibrations. Perhaps with liquid cooling things will be different but it does have me worried a bit. Anybody have a picture or link to this bracket ? Is it the same weak design as this one at 6:40 for AM4 socket ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=705YHr1DyMw&t=400s Seems to be plastic and super thin/fracture-prone. Bye, Skybuck. |

The liquid cooler bracket shown here, is lightweight, because the water block would not have a lot of mass. You only need enough normal-force ("down force") to keep the cooler in contact with the CPU, if the computer case gets kicked. http://www.anandtech.com/show/11689/...ipper-unboxing "The box also contains a bracket for Asetek liquid coolers to fit, and a Torx Screwdriver." A massive air cooler is going to have a heavy duty mounting. And even then, you can take some of the strain off, by propping up the cooler. You can see in the picture here, Asetek just loves plastic. No matter how big the contract. That's an example of liquid cooling for a quad socket server. http://www.datacenterdynamics.com/pi...3_Asetek_0.jpg ******* When the ThreadRipper actually starts to ship, I would expect the box to have fewer items in it. The above fancy kit, is for up to 250 reviewers to play with. The reason for needing an Asetek bracket, is because the bracket that comes with your Asetek previously would not work. And that bracket in the above article, has the holes positioned for that big TR4 socket. The AM4 version would have different mounting hole positions. Paul |

Not just any old coolers, but very specifically water cooler blocks made by Asetek and rebranded by its OEM's. It's not for use with any other water coolers, and definitely not for air coolers. The air coolers specifically designed for it are coming in the future, and they will fit directly on the threadripper mounting screws, or they may come with their own adapter brackets. Here's a picture of it: http://assets.hardwarezone.com/img/2...ripper-2_0.jpg This has me worried a bit.

By then likely there will either be Threadripper specific water cooler blocks, or specific air coolers available. Anybody have a picture or link to this bracket ?

Yes, it's similar, but it hardly looks fragile, but the Threadripper version is made of metal. Yousuf Khan -- Sent from Giganews on Thunderbird on my Toshiba laptop |
