Third-generation AMD ThreadRipper processors make use of the 14nm [https://www.amd.com/en/chipsets/str40 TRX40 platform]. It is not backwards-compatible with first- or second-generation ThreadRippers, though the primary difference is in pin layout (the number of pins has not changed). It utilizes LGA ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_grid_array Land Grid Array]) and is speced at 15W. AMD recommends liquid cooling for the 32-core 3970x and 64-core 3990x.

Third-generation AMD 7nm ThreadRipper processors make use of the 14nm [https://www.amd.com/en/chipsets/str40 TRX40 platform]. It is not backwards-compatible with first- or second-generation ThreadRippers, though the primary difference is in pin layout (the number of pins has not changed). It utilizes LGA ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_grid_array Land Grid Array]--FCLGA-4094 to be precise) and is speced at 15W. AMD recommends liquid cooling for the 32-core 3970x and 64-core 3990x.

I'm likely going with a Gigabyte Aorus Master plus a 3970x.

==Cooling==

Third-generation Threadrippers are rated at 280TDP at a large 58.5mm×75.4mm geometry. As of February 2020, very few AIO coolers cover the entire IHS (integrated heat spreader).
