threadripper cooling report

[smogsy]

so i got a 2950x cpu that was running a bequiet 360mm Aio (small IHS), it was very noisy (pump noise) and didn't have great temperatures so bought a noctua TR4 cooler

real-bench max temperature after 1 hour
Bequiet AIO 72C - (90% fan speed!)
noctua TR4 NH-U14S -51C (1200Rpm) around 70%?

Noctua at 50% realbench 1 hour 57C

The clue is in the first part of your post smogsy. "small IHS". The Bequiet was never designed to run with your 2950X in the first place. The Noctua TR4 NH-U14S on the other hand was only designed to run on TR. If your Bequiet had the interchangeable connectors you could have just bought the TR4 head for it anyway.

It had the interchangeable head on

You said "small IHS" So did you actually change it for the TR4 head ?

Yes, just put that as that how it ships
