AMD to Include AIO Liquid Coolers with Ryzen Threadripper Processors
In a move that could drown out the value proposition of competing Core X processors even further, AMD is reportedly including all-in-one liquid CPU coolers with its two upcoming Ryzen Threadripper processor models, the 12-core/24-thread 1920X and the 16-core/32-thread 1950X. While in its recent reveal of its first two Ryzen Threadripper SKUs besides Ryzen 3 series, the company did not specify the TDP of its Threadripper chips, older rumors pin the TDP of the 12-core part at 125W, and the 16-core part at 155W, both of which could run comfortably under liquid cooling. This won't be the first time AMD is bundling stock liquid-cooling solutions with its processors. The company bundled liquid coolers with certain high-TDP SKUs of its FX-series 8-core processors (pictured below).
This, combined by the dearth of compatibility announcements by third-party CPU cooler manufacturers for its TR4 socket, could be forcing AMD to take steps to ensure that the first Threadripper owners aren't left without a cooler, more so in maturing markets. Intel's new LGA2066 socket, on which its Core X processors are based, didn't face this problem, as it shares its mount-hole spacing with older LGA2011v3 socket. According to the source, Threadripper could be available in Japan on the 10th of August. This could mean availability in the US from 9th August.

...and 1 section 120 AIO cooler is not enough for 16 or 12 cores TDP i think :)

From the article:
'*180W was confirmed after this article was originally posted.'
Here is the recommended cooler:

Sorry m8 but Zalman has lost its glory years ago. Have fun with replacing those integrated fans etc. :rolleyes:
However, the ~$799 1920X (12 core 24 thread) and the ~$999 1950X (16 core 32 thread) offerings are still more then I am willing to spend at the moment. To be realistic, the entery level AMD Threadripper 1955X and 1955 which are the 10 core 20 thread models respectively would be the only ones I would consider. The assumption there is that prices will be lower. Its my hope that they would be in the ~$499 to ~$599 range.
I'm just being honest with myself,....
By a show of hands, who here is willing to spend ~$799 to ~$999 USD for an AMD Threadripper CPU alone (plus free AIO H2O cooler),.....?
There are a lot of people, myself included, that wouldn't buy an Intel HEDT processor for ~$799 to ~$999 so I don't see why AMD Threadripper would be any different. At that price range I don't necessarily see these as high volume parts.
I think I spent ~$330 for my Intel Core i7 5820K when it first was released and about ~$500 for my Core i7 3930K when it was first released. However, in the case of the i7 3930K I was getting a deal that reduced the price of the Asus P9X79 Deluxe motherboard by 2/3 and I had no expenditures after that.
and i believe you will not buy this cpu anyway.
