Posted June 6, 2019 I am looking to air cool a threadripper setup - I just need something effective and quiet. No need for flash. However I am struggling to find good sources of comparisons between the different options. AMD of-course just lists available options without showing preference. Bias would have me choose the noctua option over the wraithripper, but I have zero data to support a choice like that. Any recommendations and/or pointers to writeups/videos/whatever?

Posted June 7, 2019 If you're looking for the best air cooler it'd probably be the Dark Rock Pro TR4. The Wraith Ripper and NH-U14S trade blows and perform similarly. https://www.kitguru.net/components/cooling/silas-newman/noctua-nh-u14s-tr4-sp3-review/5/ https://www.hexus.net/tech/reviews/cooling/125288-quiet-dark-rock-pro-4-tr4/?page=2 https://www.hw-journal.de/testberichte/luft/3700-be-quiet-dark-rock-pro-4-tr4-test?showall=&start=4 https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/deepcool-gamer-storm-fryzen-tr4-amd-cpu-cooler,6048-2.html https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/3119-360-vs-240-for-threadripper-enermax-liqtech-vs-noctua https://pctechreviews.com.au/2018/08/24/reviewed-amd-threadripper-2950x/ Just added a TR4 section today to the CPU Cooler Performance Tier List although there's isn't much data to draw from for most of the coolers.
