Not sure what to do it at this stage. There are rational things to do and crazy things to do. I also have to remember I bought the siphon when I wasn't convinced the Noctua was up to the job. I'd say it is providing you have good airflow.
Do I?
1. Sell my 64gb 4 sticks of Bdie RAM, and buy Corsair low profile Ram like this: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...zen-tuned-ddr4-memory-dual-kit-my-4cl-cs.html
2. Sell the Siphon to some other needy user
3. Mod my RAM. Seriously what could go wrong?
4. Leave the cooler in the box and use as a door stop.
The Corsair sticks I have are 52mm. Yeah all that RGB has a cost.
Me, I'd sell the IceGiant and get a decent AIO.
Are there any decent (full size TR plate) AIOs yet? The only one I know of still has crappy coolant issues.
Soldato
Good point.
I don't have a TR but naturally assumed that after a few years, there'd be a decent AIO around.
I have this in my possession but not tried it yet so can't comment on the performance, but the plate is full size and quite a big unit.
Not sure what you mean, the cooler I'm using now, the Alphacool Eisbaer 420 is decent enough.
Ah, from the Barbie collection
That isn't listed for the TR4... https://www.overclockers.co.uk/alph...u-aio-water-cooling-unit-420mm-hs-00e-ac.html
Does it provide full cover on a TR4 ?
NVM, that was two products but this is the Icegem: https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=951
There is also the Coolermaster Masterliquid TR4 edition in 240, 280 and 360 with a TR4 sized heatspreader.
Reviews on TR4 aios aside from the cursed enermax are rare.

Well is supports TR4, but no it doesn't have full plate cover.
What cooler are you using?
From here: AMD Threadripper (Zen 3 59xx Series)
Using a NZXT Kraken X62 on my 1950 but others are all on Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP, did try a Dark Rock Pro TR4 but the Noctua is easier to install so went back to that for recent orders.
Really want a good/reliable AIO for the summer months though.
As @Hotwired said reviews for reliable AIOs are rare.
@tommoT.Striker so have you decided on what you are going to do ?

I think i'm going to hold onto to it and mull it over for a while.
There is no rush from my POV, and as you've shown, it's quite OK to buy expensive coolers and leave them snuggly in their box.
I don't think i'll be taking the DIY option on the RAM. Not going out like that guy who tried to mod his rtx3090. All in all it could cost me £140 replace this ram with low profile, no frills anti-rgb RAM. The benefit being 8 degrees cooler, and PBO/OC for benchmarking pts really. But if i'm feeling frivolous this month I might just buy the RAM.

Could you, or anyone with this Rog Strix TRX40-E Gaming motherboard please check in the BIOS and let me know if there is an option called Power Supply Idle Control anywhere? It might be located in the AMD CBS Menu of the BIOS. If so, can you provide a screenshot of where it is located for me?
I appreciate it.

Had a good look and couldn't find it. I went in deep and I saw things I thought I'd never see and yet came out empty handed.
The AMD CBS part of the BIOS is a maze.

Could post a few pictures of the AMD CBS menu? I am sure this option exists somewhere as it’s on my 1950X on an ASU’s board.

Hi to all,
Right now I´m using air only to cool down my 3070x Threadripper. Using Noctua´s specific cooler. To be sure, I undervolt it through Bios and the results where great.
If it is worth for someone here is the tutorial I followed but using an ASRock TRX40 Taichi:

Sorry if this is already posted, just let me know.

Sorry, Matt, I didn't realise you still wanted this. I saw your request weeks ago and assumed someone else would have done it for you. I'll schedule a reboot for tonight and have a poke around for you.
