    @wowbox40, whats your setup with your 3960x? How is the cooling on that since it's also a 280w but with less cores?

    1. Fractal Design Celsius S36 CPU cooler.

    2. ASUS PRIME TRX40-PRO, Socket-sTRX4.

    3. Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz 32GB.

    2x16GB DDR4 3200MHz (PC4-25600) CL16, XMP 2.0. Productnr.: CMK32GX4M2B3200C16. 2 sets = 64 gb.

    4. Radeon vii gpu, 16gb vram.

    5. Corsair HX850i, 850W PSU. 80 PLUS Platinum

    6. Intel 660p 1TB M.2 SSD nvme. Around 2 gb/s

    7. 2 x 24 inch monitors. Main game on bottom, 9 slaves on above monitor. I use a 2 monitor vertical stand for each of my computers.

    I use it to run 10 accounts. 1.3 volt. All cores at 4.0ghz. Cpu temps are around 66 celcius. Nothing out of the ordinary on other parts, like vrm etc. I run hwmonitor 64bit while i play.

    Thanks for the response. The temps are better than I thought, especially since you OC'd it. So that S36 cooler doesn't cover the whole cpu and you still get those temps? Or does it come with a larger plate that covers the whole surface of the 3960x?

    It was the best cooler i could find at the time i built the pc. Its not ideal, as the coldplate doesnt cover the entire cpu surface. It does touch within the 4 parts this cpu has though. But temps arent bad at all. But obviously try get a cooler thats properly suited for the threadripper, if you are planing to aio cool it.

    The higher cores variants probably look different under the skin = you will then need a full cover cpu surface block.

    I can take it for a torture raidtest later this saturday. I will then provide a better update, tempwise.
