Will sTRX4 (Threadripper 3000, TRX40) coolers work on sTRX5 (Threadripper 7000, TRX50) boards/CPU's?

...have we heard anything about this yet?

I'm still not sure I'm going for the next Threadripper, but if I do, it would be nice to be able to reuse my Threadripper Heatkiller IV block.

I did some googling, but could not find the answer.

I did see that Noctua launched a new line of coolers for sTRX5, which suggests that maybe there is an incompatibility, but then again, they could just be using this as an opportunity to refresh their product lineup. Who knows?

(I'm hoping one of you do...)

No, different sockets.

No, different sockets.

For what it is worth, I contacted Watercool regarding my Heatkiller IV ofr the STRX4.

They said they have been in touch with AMD, and their sTRX4 products should fit sTRX5 according to drawings.

They just don't haven't had any physical parts to actually validate with yet though.
