Needed something while I waited for watercooling parts for a Threadripper build and didn't need anything premium like a Noctua.The 4U-M (and as of this review supplanted by the 4U-M Rev. 2) works well, easily handling a constant 300W socket draw, and could maintain 350W as long as the cooler has access to cool fresh air. I could even maintain a slight overclock at 380W power if I cranked the fans to max.As for the fans, they are fine, as they're similar to the Arctic P12's, but adapted for this cooler.Arctic also provides 3D models for printing if you choose to use other standard fans for this.The heat pipe contact could use a little more coverage; photos in this review show the exact contact patch on a Threadripper CPU. It is adequate and as previously mentioned it handled the stock TDP of the processor without issue.All of this cooling for $55!

upgraded from an old dell r720 to a mid-tower build epyc 7551, this cooler seems effective and is wildly quieter than the old rack mount server.

Got an Epyc you want cooling? Get this cooler. It’s the right orientation, it’s easy to fit and it’s quiet.

I bought this cooler so I could fit my EPYC build into a 4U Rosewill rack mount case. Previously, I had the server installed in a full ATX tower Fractal Design Define 7 XL case. There's significantly more clearance in the tower case than the 4U so I needed something that could cool effectively and was slimmer than my previous cooler. I've been happily running the cooler for the past few months without any issues and it keeps my 32C/64T EPYC 7452 performing well.

It works, to my surprise, very well with an overclocked threadripper pulling 400w. But the cold plate design is bad. Thermal paste gets stuck between the heat pipes and is difficult to clean. This also affects cpu coverage, which could be improved with a better design.

Awesome cooler. I wish the fans were separate from the mounting brackets, although they do provide files to 3D print adapters for other fans. On our board, the right fan interferes with the memory, so we printed a bracket and put an Arctic slim fan in its place!

Excellent value for the money. Keeps AMD 7551 around 47-48c. Pretty silent and best of all fits in a 4u case. Very sturdy cooler. Great airflow and performance.

I've purchased two of these. One was used for an Epyc server and the other for a Threadripper workstation.It works really well when fans are in a front to back configuration, like a RomeD8-2T board. However, when installing onto a SP3/TR4 that has a top/bottom fan orientation (like a x399 board), it will likely block your first PCIe slot. Also, if you have a VRM heatsink installed on the board, it will likely make contact. You can move the fan up some to clear it (depending on your chassis) or remove the VRM heatsink, but these options are not optimal at all. Even with that done, you may not be able to close your case.The main issue with all of this is the thickness of the fan shrouds. Since the fans and cooler are a proprietary design, replacing the fans isn't as simple as throwing on a couple 120MM. You'll need to get creative with zip ties or other methods for attaching other fans.That said, when it fits properly, it works great.

Installation for sTR5 was a little unintuitive (since I didn't watch the guide first) but once I figured out how the screws needed to be installed through the mounting bracket and into the heatsink it was a breeze. The adjustable fans really help with ram/vrm fan clearance too, this cooler fits my Asrock trx50 ws perfectly with just the front fan shifted up 3 or 4 cm.Overall, this is a great heatsink at a competitve price

It does not fit, after installing the cooler i slide the fans into place and .... clunk, the bottom of the fan that mounts near the back of the motherboard / case hits the shroud on the motherboard heat sink at the back of the mother board, they needed to make the cooler stand about a 1/2 inch taller to provide clearance, even if the motherboard head sink shroud was not there it would still hit the two little fans beneath. It is still usable but not as intended, I hope it provides adequate cooling ,

Extremely well cooling my system, only my case won't close, and dust was building up pretty fast. It could be perfect at 100mm tall or some...

This is a great 4U cooler that has a proper orientation for the SP3 socket. Installation is easy. Fans are quiet.
