How to Install Threadripper, and features a "stock"? Heatsink.

I wonder if they intentionally added that kind of music as that install is borderline pornographic lol

I can't get over how big that CPU is, its like partial stack of cards.

It's a Winning hand for AMD.

How come they did pour out the whole tube of paste this time?

I guess they learnt from their previous installation videos. Still looks like their generic toothpaste.

I've got some extra spends coming this month. Bring on the 16 core beastie!

I think you'll find they'll probably include a little tool to use folks if it's not a popular screw type head.
Interesting placement of the paste. I don't know the chip but if it's two 1800's "glued" together I would have thought it would be better to use two separate paste points where you'd place it if the CPU's were individual?

If it was me putting the Tim on i think i'd be spreading it nice and thin with a credit card....................get the whole IHS covered then.

Noctua will not be releasing any Threadripper TR4 mounting kits for their existing coolers

Can I upgrade my existing Noctua cooler to socket TR4 or SP3?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to upgrade existing Noctua heatsinks to support the AMD TR4 and SP3 sockets for Ryzen Threadripper (X399) and Epyc CPUs. TR4/SP3 CPUs have much bigger heatspreaders (as compared to e.g. LGA2066 or AM4 processors) and the contact surfaces of standard Noctua heatsinks would cover only about half of these heatspreaders, which would result in insufficient cooling performance. For this reason, Noctua will soon introduce new cooler models that feature bigger contact surfaces that have been tailored to fit TR4/SP3 CPUs. Please choose these models for AMD Ryzen Threadripper and Epyc systems.

That was known since CES though. Noctua even showed off their new TR4 coolers.

This is the best way for sure on TR.

To buy that CPU you need plastering skill to apply TIm.

So you need to hire some middle aged guy who will turn up 2 days late with 20 year old overalls, a plaster spattered radio and a cigarette hanging out of the side of his mouth to apply the TIM?

 

[muon]

Multiple blobs or 2 lines of TIM will be fine.

There also isn't any harm in using too much TIM anyway as it will just seep slightly, just don't use too little.

 

[Kelt]

I'd probably use the 'X' method for paste.

Or you can just dip it the cooler in TIM bucket.
