[SOLVED] Threadripper AIO

[Jolaoso]

Do i really need that extra copper on the IHS for the cooling? I would like to have it but what difference does it make vs just a regular aio with a TR4 adapter?

(The copper plate design is what I wanted to show in the links above)

That surface area contact is key.
If you skip the squared cold plate, you end up in scenarios where the outermost cores run much warmer when doing heavy tasks; a NH-U14S TR4-SP3 would cool better than the ML240 in that second link.
That cooler apparently trades blows or outperforms a number of AIOs that don't have the squared plate. When the AIO's plate is squared, then yeah, the U14S TR4 isn't going to compete.

AIO: the microfins you can't see on the other side of the cold plate should also align parallel with the multiple dies you can't see underneath the IHS, and not perpendicular.
The rectangular cold plate makes this much easier to install correctly.

Makes sense just wanted to make sure I wasn't forgetting some revolutionary cooling system that only needs to touch less than 50% of a ISH

That cooler should be alright, Just start away from the Enermaxx junk for threadripper, you wont get a year out of them. I went threw 2 of them, both grew stuff inside the loop after around 8 months, I had to take the loss.
