Cryorig announces new upgrade kit for tr4 sockets
Table of contents:
Coinciding with the launch of AMD's second generation Threadripper processors, CRYORIG launches its TR4 upgrade kit for its high-end air coolers.
TR4 socket upgrade kit sells for just 5.90 euros
The TR4 upgrade kit is compatible with the well-known CRYORIG R1, C1, H5 and H7 Quad Lumi series. With the new TR4 upgrade kit, users can use their favorite CRYORIG air-cooling solutions with first and second generation AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPUs without much hassle.
Package contains 2 TR4 socket mounting bars, 4 bolts, and 4 thumbscrews. This is similar to the company's previous AM4 socket upgrade option. Although this new kit does not apply to your entire line of CPU coolers.
Allows you to use any AM4 heatsink in Threadripper
CRYORIG does not recommend this upgrade kit for all CPU coolers due to the thermal requirements of AMD Threadripper CPUs, such as the ultra-compact C7 series.
At the moment, CRYIORIG does not have a CPU cooler specifically designed for the Threadripper, which have a larger footprint than any AM4 chip. However, many of the heatsinks designed for Ryzen do have enough cooling capacity to work with Threadripper, and instead of buying a new heatsink, we can use this upgrade kit and take advantage of them.
This kit is currently available in the Caseking store for only 5.90 euros, a more than affordable price.
