OOS now wow 25+ sold in a couple hours (In store sales only too)
Yeap, sounds about right. Demand is thru the roof.
Wow Derbauer temps are awful af. Even stock they're a joke.
I can max my chip out at full p95 avx full.load small fft and it pass 67c.
AMD did a knockout job at soldering the IHS. Now as far as the heat killer block, throw that shit in the trash and get a real block like XSPC.
First I've ever heard of them.
As a rule of thumb I only trust established brands for water-cooling.
Swiftech, Alphacool, Watercool.de, even EK (sometimes, their first rev Threadripper block was a diaaster) Maybe if they have a good track record in a decade or so when I need a new block I'll consider them
Look where that got the dinosaur.Adapt or parish.
“All us overclocking geeks have always known that surface area is king when it comes to cooling and Optimus has surely proven that.”
HardOCP Review
link is no longer but wayback machine works.. looks like Kyle reviewed it back in 2017' ?
If a product doesn't have a long track record of dependability, why should I trust them?
Also:
Parish - definition of parish by The Free Dictionary
God dam spelling natzi.Did you go to harvard or yale?If not GTFO.HAHA
"NAZI"
See you attend yale or harvard also.HAHA
GET with the real world as i naw on some deer jerky i shot.
I don't know what you are talking about. The Heatkiller IV is supposed to be one of, if not the best block money can buy.
XSPC on the other hand - from personal experience - I don't trust any of their shit to not explode and french everything in coolant. I almost consider them worse than no-brand chinese parts. They would be one of my last choices.
Did you have one blow up?
Der(I dont feel like spelling his gamer name) was reporting stock temps @ over 80c sometimes pushing 90c So... come again how is heatkiller that good?
The 3960x, of which he used, is factory rated from AMD @ 68c --- mine stays under that with my shitty leaky XSPC raystorm. Ive posted several screenshots of temps, loads, etc.... not going to do it again.

Kyle Bennet said that he loved the Raystorm. Can't find the review of it anymore on OCP because they changed the website to the FPSreview.
I could go on and on but this takes the thread too far off topic from the availability of Ryzen as the actual topic.
All i'm going to say is that this is a Ford v. Dodge v. Chevy conversation that no one wins or can win. If you want to run that ugly af heatkiller that got Der8 those awful temps pre and post delid then be my guest. I am happy with my 4 different XSPC blocks I own that not a single one has leaked, dripped, cracked, or had some weird bi-metal ionization failed nickel plating corrosion failure that EK and others have dealt with.
I dont buy the internet hype that something sucks until I try it myself unless the claims are ginormously substantial in size. Maybe you just bought the hype. I dont know. I make no claims or blames brother!
XSPC has been out long before the Heatkiller VI etc was even on the drawing board.
I have had some pretty nasty leaks with XSPC parts. Not blocks specifically, but they gave me a really bad taste in my mouth. Nothing else I've ever used has leaked on me.
There is no doubt there is something wrong with the der dudes setup, but I don't think the water block is it. As I recall the Heatkiller IV pro did best of all the blocks Kyle tested in his Threadripper waterblock reviews. Sucks that these are all down now. The first page of the reviews seems to be all that has been archived on the Internet Archive
Yeah I have always heard Heatkiller are good but never had the oppurtunity to try one.
And you are right! There was something awful with Der's setup. No way temps should have been that high. I will take back my direct attack on Heatkiller because I am not qualified by experience directly with one to make such a claim.
I have tried EK, Byski, XSPC, Corsair, and a few others, but never Heatkiller. All of them perform quite well except EK was awful. I would not recommend their threadripper block. I am sure it has improved.
I still think the heatkiller is one FUGLY block hahaha so you go right ahead Zara
Congratulations, Zara.
Anyone else surprised that huge box doesn't actually say what the specific item is? I can't tell if you got a 3960x or a 3970x. In any case, cool stuff, pretty jealous!
Wow Derbauer temps are awful af. Even stock they're a joke.
I can max my chip out at full p95 avx full.load small fft and it pass 67c.

And since I don't want to add another post to show the F'd up TT waterblock innards. This is what all 4 corners of the block look like.
ThermalTake. Quality - Da'Fuk is that?! Who even?!

Nah, they are about right. Look at his settings, 1.4v and 4300 all core. When you move to an all core and add volts, these chips can become heat monsters. Btw, small is not = blend. 67c in p95 is not a real hardcore load.

He made no mention of an all core
He needs to describe what hes doing better if he did
It's like they just machined it and hammered it into a tapered housing. What a shitty job.
P.s. QVL isn't a major issue with Zen2.. even Zen+ you would be pretty safe with most kits out there. But yes you want to run a decent amount of ram so better safe than sorry..
It says right in p95 small fft = maximum stress and heat. Right there by the dev what it does. To assume another feature generates more heat means you are not trusting the team that made the software to do as claimed.
Small is not the highest stress. Look at the options, blend = everything and the kitchen sink. Small is high heat and keeps load inside cpu, doesn't even stress memory/imc. Small is not a realistic load, can pass small and crash elsewhere.
