Optimus Absolute Threadripper 3+ CPU Block - Nickel Plate - Satin Silver Billet Mount

COOLING 64 OVERCLOCKED CORES

The Optimus Absolute Threadripper 3+ is made for Threadripper 3's massive core count and thermal requirements, easily handling Threadripper's overclocking potential, even if you're pushing 700 watts into your CPU.

AMD Threadripper 3 combines four of their consumer CPUs for a single XL CPU with up to 64 cores. This groundbreaking CPU needs a truly next-gen cooler to match.

SURFACE AREA MATTERS

In cooling, more surface area = better cooling. The Absolute Threadripper block features our revolutionary Gen2 XL cold plate design with 225 micro fins, providing over 3.5X the surface area of the next top performing Threadripper waterblock.

With a surface area of ~424 cm^2 (~66 in^2) vs ~119 cm^2 (~18.4 in^2), the Optimus Gen2 XL cold plate's total area is nearly the size of an mATX motherboard.

OVER 100% COVERAGE

We provide more than 100% IHS coverage (the metal lid on top of the CPU), allowing fluid cooling across the entire CPU surface area, not just the much smaller die area. Full IHS coverage is the real standard by which Threadripper blocks should be measured, not just die coverage.

WORLD’S SMOOTHEST COLD PLATE

Optimus sets another record for flattest cold plate on the market. Optimus machines blocks less than 1 micro-inch (µin) in flatness. This is 0.000025mm of roughness (measuring the peaks and valleys of the surface).Other cold plates are over 400% rougher than Optimus coldplates.

The only way to truly guarantee 0.000025mm level of accuracy is to CNC the cold plate perfectly with diamond bits. Optimus created proprietary diamond tooling that allows the cold plates to come off the CNC with a perfect mirror finish.

Additionally, because we control the fins and cold plate to such a precise level, we can make the distance between CPU IHS and the fins extremely small. Thin cold plates are able to transfer heat from the CPU faster than thicker cold plates.

Optimus GEN2 MICROFIN COLD PLATE
THE FINEST FINS EVER CREATED

Over three years of development went into creating our truly next-level patent-pending fin technology. Using a fully CNC machining process, Optimus is able to achieve 0.1016mm (0.004”) fins with 0.2032mm (0.008”) micro channels. This isn't just superior craftsmanship, it's generations beyond other fin designs.

REVOLUTIONARY MOUNTING SYSTEM

Traditional CPU mounting has always been a guessing game. The Absolute Threadripper 3+ block debuts a new Optimus method for installation, using the included T20 torque driver included with Threadripper CPUs. The torque driver has a maximum torque of 1.5 newton meters. When 1.5nm is reached, the driver disengages.

The Absolute Threadripper block features flush mounting nuts with a T20 star head made for the T20 torque driver. Simply tighten until the torque driver clicks and you’re ensured the most accurate mounting pressure available.

NEXT LEVEL THERMAL PASTE

Famous overclocker Kingpin developed his own thermal paste for extreme performance liquid cooling systems. During our tests, we found the Kingpin KPX paste to have better performance and more consistent results. And it’s blue! While not a performance benefit, blue is easier to see than the gray stuff that blends in, so less chance of the “why is there paste all over my fingers?!” cursing that always happens.

The KPX paste spreads extremely well, which is critical for Optimus blocks with micron-level surface finishes. Combined with the Optimus Absolute block’s full surface coverage, the spread achieved is simply the best available
