Thermaltake have some fantastic coolers, with their all in one watercooler being some of the best in the business. I personally still use the Thermaltake 360mm Floe Riing RGB Premium due to its amazing ability to keep my overclocked R5 2700X cool while also being almost silent.
With the new 3rd generation Ryzen CPUs retaining the AM4 socket, it is no surprise that all existing Thermaltake coolers are compatible with the new CPUs. However, for the sake of clarity, Thermaltake has published a compatibility list.
The main thing worth noting is that some of the more affordable coolers don’t have the cooling capacity for some of the more high powered CPUs. This point is likely moot, as I can’t imagine many people pairing a £480 Ryzen 9 3900X with a £35 Thermaltake Contac Silent 12.
