THIS is the Heatsink That Cooled Threadripper 2!

2018-06-07
hello good people Eber here with Harbor connects and we've been covering a lot of cases so far Computex but Coolermaster had a few things that were a lot more interesting hiding in the corners of their booth not only was there an all-in-one liquid cooler that incorporated a thermo electric chiller but also an awesome-looking heat sink called the Wraith Ripper but before I get into either of those I want to thank coolermaster Thermaltake and fantex for sponsoring this trip without them none of this coverage would have been possible so let's start with one of the most unique things we've seen in Computex so far actually it doesn't look all that unique and we all want to write by it at first because doesn't this look like a slightly modified yeah you're cooler well that's actually what it is but the modification schoolmaster made to it can lead to CPU temperatures that go below ambient basically a Tec or thermoelectric cooler quickly transfers heat from one side of a solid-state coal plate to the other there are a few challenges though it can transfer so much heat in a short amount of time that an initial heatsink is required to ensure those high temperatures are dissipated also once temperatures get to a certain level condensation can occur in certain situations and TECs require quite a bit of power as well despite those potential problems depending upon a te C's output I can cool even hot running processors down to a very low levels the idea of adding a TAC element into a closed-loop water cooler to reduce fluid temperatures isn't a new one either for example coolant systems did this quite successfully eight years ago with their borass series the cool master version of the tec e io combination is still in its prototype phase but is expected to officially launch before the end of the year for $300 or a bit less right now it doesn't have a name but it's made up with a slightly expanded CPU block that holds the coal plate and a higher power pump the increased pump capacity is needed since the setup consists of a 240 millimeter and 120 millimeter radiator working in tandem basically the heat produced by the core is moved from the block into the 240 millimeter radiator which also houses the tec coolers then these work to reduce the liquid temperatures and then move the coal fluid to the secondary radiator which will then balance things out to reduce the possibility of condensation master's intent is for the Tec units to only come on when the flu temperature reaches a certain threshold which would usually happen when overclocking extremely high wattage processors however they are looking into possibility of giving users more manual control over the whole setup opening up the door to extreme cooling or CPUs that output less heat but honestly guys I'd love to hear your opinion about this cooler is it something you would consider buying for higher level overclocking or does it add a bit too much complication the other thing that caught my attention was this what we have here is yet another tower core but it's a joint venture between Coolermaster and AMD with its sole intent being efficient cooling for the high TV p TR for threat to perceive use and now with thread report OU's 24 and 32 core variants in the pipeline a purpose-built high level air cooler might actually be a great option it's officially called the wraith ripper for its extreme silence coupled with thread ripper compatibility other than that there isn't much information since it literally arrived from the factory to cooler masters booth while we were there what we do know is that there's an array of seven heat pipes addressable our jeebies that are connected to the motherboard via a USB cable and a single centered mounted fan basically it's supposed to be the quietest thread upper air cooler around but that also means it won't be able to handle an overclocked chip balancing performance and acoustics is going to be a major challenge on AIM DS k GD t platform and we'll see if we way through accomplish that when it's launched sometime this year so there you guys have it - pretty neat coolers from Coolermaster but our visit doesn't stop here so stay tuned for even more coverage from them and other companies as well here at Computex 2018 I mean bar with hardware connects thank you so much for watching and we'll see you in the next one
