Cooler Master Announces the Wraith Ripper for 2nd Generation Threadripper
Cooler Master, a global leader in computer hardware and peripherals manufacturing, announces the Wraith Ripper, the official air cooler for the 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen Threadripper desktop processor, as part of an exclusive partnership with AMD. The Wraith Ripper is designed, specifically, to keep the 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen Threadripper cool under the most strenuous conditions and manage up to 250W TDP.
Rip Through the Heat with Seven Heatpipes and Dual Heatsinks
With content creators, developers and PC enthusiasts in mind, the Wraith Ripper is designed with dual tower heatsinks, a seven heatpipe array for advanced thermal conductivity and a large contact surface area optimized for the Ryzen Threadripper. Concealed under a specialized Wraith Armor, designed to help guide airflow, is a 120mm MasterAir Pro Servo fan. Mounted between the dual tower heatsinks, the MasterAir Pro Servo enables a push-pull configuration by pulling cool air though one heatsink and expelling through the other to maintain thermal integrity and maximum performance of the CPU.
The Easiest Installation on the TR4
The Wraith Ripper's mounting system is the most straightforward installation on the TR4 bracket. Four long screws run from the top of the cooler to the bottom, enabling users to easily install the Wraith Ripper by tightening the screws at the top instead of struggling to mount the cooler at the base. In addition to its easy mounting system, the Wraith Ripper provides ends users with 44mm of RAM clearance, eliminating compatibility issues with most mainstream memory modules.
Elegant Illumination and Design
The Wraith Ripper's sleek, black design is complimented by the simple dual Addressable RGB LED strips that highlight the cooler and frame the backlit ARGB AMD Ryzen Threadripper logo on the top. Users can customize the speed, color and lighting mode of each LED through the built-in lighting control. To achieve full lighting control, users will need to download the Wraith Ripper lighting software, available on the Cooler Master website.
Specifications:
Availability
The Wraith Ripper will be available for purchase at local resellers in Europe from 27th September 2018 for a suggested MSRP of €119.00. Price and availability may vary per region.

Cooling these new 250W parts may not be that practical on air.
But this looks like a stock cooler which I would use without a doubt. :D
Now we need temp results and for some brave soul to mount it on other sockets (for science).
These are aluminium fins, so I would imagine it shouldn't be more than ~1kg including the fan, a good bit less than 2 anyway.
This is the cooler you should be comparing it to, reason being the TR4-SP3's massive socket is far bigger then a "regular" socket.
Air cooling is certainly the right choice for HEDT systems, unless it's for extreme overclocking as a "sport". 250W is certainly not a problem to cool, graphics cards do that easily with much less optimal airflow. The larger challenge is having proper airflow in the case. Most people think a big AiO watercooling system solves that, but it only moves heat inside the case, and if you don't have a case to take advantage of it, using an AiO cooler will probably be less efficient.
*) Dark Rock Pro 4 should release a Threadripper version very soon.
But temps seem to be doing fine on air, 40-60C under load.
Most reviews only show AIOs :(

(Most are AIOs)
Not only is it bad that most reviews use AIOs, they also conduct the testing in an open rig. Air coolers does in fact work better in a well ventilated case with good directional airflow.
Thanks for sharing.
