  • It would, but it’s designed for Threadripper motherboards that share the same socket as EPYC but are usually oriented at 90deg.

    All other correctly-oriented EPYC heatsinks are tiny, made for 1U/2U chassis and are much shitter at cooling a ~200W CPU than the Noctua at a jaunty angle.

  • Thanks, had clocked the Supermicro heatsink but it’s hard to get hold of in the UK and apparently performs slightly worse than the Noctua.

  • Since this exchange, a new SP3 EPYC heatsink contender has appeared: the Arctic Cooling SP3.

    It's hench; much bigger than any other SP3 cooler, allowing the use of 120mm fans. It comes with integrated 120mm fans, which are dogshit (two of the four units I bought had faulty fans), so I replaced them with Noctua Industrial 3000rpm.

    As you can see, the heatsink has the orthodox orientation for the SP3 EPYC socket. Temperatures are a full 15degC lower than with the previous best Noctua cooler.
