Question Water Block for AMD 9960X sTR5 Socket ?

[SayAgain]

I'm looking for a CPU waterblock for 9960X sTR5 socket.

There are a few AIO with sTR5 support, but I'm looking for custom loop so just want the CPU waterblock.

EK have WB sTR Nickel + Acetal but not in stock.

I found EK-Pro from Aqua Tuning for "pre-order" but doesn't appear to be US based (Slovenia) so not sure about shipping/tariffs.

Also concerned about EK's ability to deliver considering all their financial difficulties and "restructuring".

I can't seem to locate any US options?

I wouldn't invest in EKWB, after Steve's piece on them;

Since you state looking for something 'State side. have you looked into Optimus PC Watercooling? I see most of them are out of stock but you can try and contact them and see if they make ends meet for you.

Here are some alternative brands;

https://www.performance-pcs.com/products/watercool-heatkiller-iv-pro-for-threadripper-copper-nickel-wc-18026

^ those come in different SKU's but are meant for the sTR5 platform(last I checked).

Thank you, entered my contact info with query to Optimus on availability and also for PPCS. Fingers crossed I get a reponse.

Rob.

EDIT: agree, EK could be a risk ... shame, used to be a great company and I ordered frequently from them ... not so much anymore.
