Noctua is also at Computex 2017 and has shown new heatsinks for the new AMD EPYC / Threadripper platforms that are based on TR4 and SP3 sockets respectively.

Noctua works at full speed with AMD EPYC and Threadripper

As you can see in the images, the mounting mechanism of these new heatsinks corresponds to what was seen in previous images of the new EPYC platforms formerly known as Naples. This means that EPYC and Threadripper will not be compatible with current coolers unless special adapters are used.

Noctua has already confirmed that both platforms support the same heatsink mounting system even though they use different sockets, TR4 LGA SP3r2 in the case of Threadripper and SP3 in the case of EPYC. The prototypes shown by Noctua are based on NH-U14S, NH-U12S and NH-U9, no commercial version has been announced yet.

This represents a big problem for AMD Threadripper since there will be no compatible heatsinks at launch, a big difference with Intel X299 that it is compatible with all models of LGA 2011-3. This is why it will be especially important for AMD to ensure that users have a good cooling solution.
