Depends on what do you prefer (AIO, air, custom), what are your workloads and how much case space you have in there (or out).

If we are talking about AIO, then my suggestion is 280mm or beyond.

Crucial for me at least is the coldplate. It should be designed for TR, preferrably nickel-plated, so you can use liquid metal TIM for the best results.]]> Wed, 13 Mar 2019 05:55:43 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11085&PID=61394&title=x399-taichi-cooler-graphics-card#61394 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11085&PID=61393&title=x399-taichi-cooler-graphics-card#61393 Author: scjconsulting

Do you have a cooler suggestion.]]> Wed, 13 Mar 2019 04:59:23 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11085&PID=61393&title=x399-taichi-cooler-graphics-card#61393 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11085&PID=61390&title=x399-taichi-cooler-graphics-card#61390 Author: xhue

Jeeez, AMD shot themselves in the foot with this cooler.

Don't get me wrong, your CPU won't fry or blow up. You just won't have the extra oomph your CPU can offer under the right conditions.]]> Wed, 13 Mar 2019 04:26:24 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11085&PID=61390&title=x399-taichi-cooler-graphics-card#61390 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11085&PID=61387&title=x399-taichi-cooler-graphics-card#61387 Author: scjconsulting

I went to the AMD site where they have a recommended list of coolers. There were a number of them that just would not work with the Taichi, like the Wraith Ripper cooler.]]> Wed, 13 Mar 2019 01:18:06 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11085&PID=61387&title=x399-taichi-cooler-graphics-card#61387 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11085&PID=61372&title=x399-taichi-cooler-graphics-card#61372 Author: xhue

Yes, you can. In theory it should work just as fine, as if it was in the first slot.

Offtopic - IDK where did you see the H80 is recommended for that beast of a CPU, but depending on your workloads you can be severely limited by thermals, i.e. CPU will not ramp up its clocks where it usually would (had it the temp headroom).]]> Tue, 12 Mar 2019 07:17:12 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11085&PID=61372&title=x399-taichi-cooler-graphics-card#61372 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11085&PID=61358&title=x399-taichi-cooler-graphics-card#61358 Author: scjconsulting

I am in the process of completing a X399 Taichi, Thraedripper 2950x, & Corsair H80i V2 cooler. The cooler was one of those recommended for the CPU.

After installing the cooler, I noticed that while it is a 120mm fan, it is a double fan with a very large cooler. I then noticed that it blocks the PCIE 1 slot.

The question I have: can you put the graphics card in PCIE 2?

Thanks.]]> Tue, 12 Mar 2019 04:26:44 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11085&PID=61358&title=x399-taichi-cooler-graphics-card#61358
