Cooling needed for Xeon Phi?

Looking into picking up a Xeon Phi 7290. Has a unique architecture. No one really bought them. Does anyone know how much cooling is required? Is this air cooling or water cooling territory? It has 72 core, and 4 threads per core.

TDP 245 W

You deff need cooling

Know if Noctua, or water cooling is required?

i mean any cooler designed for that TDP is fine anything weaker will just effect boosting

Yeah, I just don’t know if custom watercooling would be worth the cost.

I wouldnt bother unless you need every last drop of perf

Think I’d get this at most. I just don’t know if it has any benefit other than being quieter than normal AIOs.

Just picked up the coprocessor. Going to see if I can get it working with Threadripper. Might be a cheap means of speeding up long compiles. Probably have to write custom code to send commands, though.

Thas the LGA style Co-processor, right? Is that going like TR4 / 3647 sizing?
… Was their any confirmed [beneficial] use for them chips?
