AMD Marries Cooler Master for Wraith Ripper: Threadripper 2-Designed Mega Cooler
AMD has partnered with Cooler Master to deliver a Threadripper 2-specific cooler. Dubbed the Wraith Ripper (as per AMD's Wraith stock coolers and their Threadripper 2, up to 32-core, 64-thread HCC CPUs), this is a behemoth of a mega cooler that can dissipate Threadripper 2's (perhaps theThreadripper 2990X's) 250 W TDP.
The cooler features addressable RGB lighting that can be app-controlled, and Cooler Master says this cooler has been designed to offer full memory compatibility. The height between the baseplate and the heatsink's fins does seem tall and tidy for the tallest RAM sticks you can find, for sure - even with the eight pairs of heatpipes that drive the heat away from your most precious silicon component. Check our COMPUTEX 2018 pics of this behemoth below.

Surely something smaller, lighter AND more effective could have been devised.
Is an aio smaller , perhaps a tec cooler, nope the laws of thermodynamics says big ,loads of cooling transport and area required.
Or else there's a support for the back. But very neat I must say.
But it's still almost 3 pounds...
CoolerMaster's other TR4 cooler only has 6 heat pipes, but allows up to 3 fans and weighs 1.91lbs by itself.
It looks more like a true industrial design with consumer-oriented appearance thrown in.......
This is clearly even larger than the Susanoo's heatpipe and block setup but it would have to be for handling the heatload it's supposed to move.
