Bykski A-Ryzen-Th-X / Bykski A-Ryzen-ThV2-X

Purchased from Aliexpress, on visual inspection seems like was worth the wait coming from far east 😄 . This should be an improvement over the EK-Supremacy EVO Threadripper Edition.

RGB is not my cup of time but the store that had the best price sold the product with Bykski RGB/AURA . So loose in parcel was Bykski RGB unit, it has 6 connectors, 3 per long side of unit, each with 6 pins, labelled as fan 1 to 6. One short side has 2 connectors with 4 pins labelled as RGB. Other short side has DC 12V 2 pin to molex with pass through, 5 pin labelled as IBM, which has 3 wires to a LED in metal casing :confused: . No manual in box and no idea on usage, nor was there a plan to use it TBH 😛 .

Bykski A-Ryzen-ThV2-X has a nice weight and good finish IMO :cool:. This V2 edition also supports AM3/AM4 as well as Threadripper, read and weep EK 😛 . 3 sides are clear and one long length has an integrated LED unit, this has 4 pin connector and 50cm of cable. There seems to be an 4 pin extension cable included or maybe part of Bykski RGB unit :confused: . Cold plate has a fine machined finish, I may lap it at some point, doesn't seem too shabby at all. Looking forward to plumbing this in 😄 and comparing to EK :rolleyes: .

Hmmm...I guess it's near as dammit though full coverage has to be the target...I saw the Heatkiller solid copper block today...I like it!

HardOCP review of Heatkiller IV places it in dead heat with XSPC. In this early review of XSPC / Bykski we see ~1C between them.

Heatkiller IV is a nice block as well as XSPC, the Bykski IMO beats them as product due to price and close performance. Here in the UK XSPC is ~£80 IIRC, Bykski was ~£44.

Well EKWB updated their sTR4 offering, link. Still seems the Bykski is best offering, considering cost/performance and features.

LOL...the design!

EK Engineering..."What can we do...we got to get it right the third time... right?"

EK Marketing..."I know, lets make that really complicated design then at least it'll look like we tried"

KISS means keep it spectacularly supercomplicated... apparently

Meh...competing on bling instead of temps is hardly doing it for me...

And I can't get past the name...sounds like what this dude rides...

LOOL.

TBH dunno what innovation to waterblock cooling engine could be done. I reckon Heatkiller, XSPC and Bykski have it right regarding cooling engine.

TBH Bykski besides being earliest TR block out, they had it right first time, which really has made EK look bad IMO. I think their offering has progressed nicely and without exorbitant pricing.

From 1st to 2nd they added AM3/4 socket support. The OLED doesn't have vast usefulness, but for example when I use Linux on my ZE, the OLED temp display on mobo does come in very handy. The one on block could be useful to know water temp. Considering the features the latest block has and price, I reckon it's the top block for AM3/AM4/sTR4.

Actually...thinking about it...yeah that would be useful...

CPU temp on ZE display and water temp on block....
