BYKSKI Showcases First Water Blocks for Ryzen Threadripper

[Raevenlord]

Chinese liquid-cooling manufacturer BYKSKY has showcased what are as of yet the first waterblocks specifically engineered for AMD's HEDT X399 platform. The company has showcased a grand total of four variants for their liquid-cooling solutions, which come with accents in either Red, Silver, Red + RGB Lighting, or Silver + RGB Lighting.

Sans RGB, the blocks are expected to retail for about $58; adding a light spectacle to your water blocks, however, will seemingly increase pricing to a still very appealing $63. Even though these specific Threadripper waterblocks are for now only listed in China, expect availability to expand in the coming weeks.

Well these just look like normal sized in terms of "working area" but then augmented with a bunch of nothing to fit the size of the cpu, soooo, not impressed.

Phew! I was getting worried we might not see RGB on our CPU waterblocks.....

Based on a quick estimate using the G1/4" ports for comparison, there do appear to be more microfins here in the cooling engine than their FOUR series of "regular" CPU block I tested for TPU before.

I'd like to see actual measurements too.

So do I. I do not have plans to buy a Threadripper platform, so hopefully someone else will.

It's a waterblock, its not high science. That is a large block with a large fin area, not much else needed. And it is cheap. If its not enough just wait for the overpriced EK and Aqua stuff soon.

The most that is currently available is here. I think they covered all DIEs.
I would personally solve the cooling with two separate chambers with one circle where the liquid would lead to the center of the second chamber after cooling the first chamber and continue the cooling, the drain would be on the upper floor, since the easiest way is to connect the superfluid to the Mosfet cooling unit, It can split which gives us attachments to RAM coolers. I'm dreaming. For a while, I want a universal CNC, and if I had it, I would definitely do everything myself ..

Im not saying it is high science....
My point is that its a play of metal but only has some fins in a small area in the middle and the water hookups are there as well.
So its just a standard sized waterblock with some extra metal.

Instead of actually having the water coming in on the out end, travel of fins and come out the other therefor better/actually cooling the entire cpu plate.

It's clearly not a standard sized block. That said, all waterblocks are literally a cold plate with fins to increase surface area. Your complaint is silly as it can be applied to all blocks. This block looks fine to me, its slightly larger with a very good fin section as narrow as .3mm. And technically speaking regarding flow, we don't want ports on the far ends of the block as that reduces cooling and creates hot spots. Just about all blocks have moved to a jetplate design as it distributes water as evenly as possible over the fin area ensuring even distribution.

considering the four silicon location on the EPYC procs, I'd say the fins will cover most if not all of the dies

you have to consider the location of the mounting screws on this block to get a scale as to where on the IHS will the fins be sitting on

would love to see some reviews =)

Well, XSPC has some pics up of their upcoming block which clearly shows a difference:
