Here's a pic of the Bykski V2 installed. Just an FYI, the washers for the mounting bolts that came with were Red. For my build, this obviously worked out perfectly, but since I ordered a Black block, I was expecting to get Black washers. Just a word of caution for someone who doesn't have red...
Just ordered a Threadripper Bykski water block from AliExpress, got something called, "A-Ryzen-ThV2-X". Looks like its a more universal version of the TR block, the description says:
Bykski A-Ryzen-Th-X CPU Water Block For AMD Ryzen ThreadRipper 940/AM2/AM3/AM4/X399 1950X
The block has...
I guess it was more of an interview than a press release:

One key to getting good performance is fitting the work into L3 cache, so it doesn’t have to fetch it...
I've been wanting to build a TR system since they came out, but just couldn't justify the cost when my Ryzen 7 does everything I throw at it. But this little press release from AMD gave me the excuse I needed to go ahead and build a TR system. Combine great pricing on the 1950x and MBs at...
I recently put together a Threadripper system and must have won the silicon lottery. My 1950x runs at 3.95 Ghz on stock voltage. It crashes after several hours of stress testing at 4.0 w/stock voltage. I have the RAM at 3600 Mhz (quad channel) with G.Skill TridentZ 3733 sticks. This is on...
I reset everything and started over and now am getting expected numbers at 3.9/3200. Not sure what was going on before...

Finally got around to installing this over the weekend. After a long wait, I am finally running my 3200 Mhz RAM at 3200!! (prev was stuck at 2666)
Couple odd things I noticed, ran multiple benchmarks at 3.9/3200 and saw decreases in performance from 3.9/2666. Memory bandwidth increased but...
I have an ASUS B350M-A and cannot get it to post with memory running any higher than 2400. My memory is 3200 G.Skill Ripjaw V-series which is not in the QVL from ASUS, so I am wondering if anyone running QVL RAM is getting higher speeds to post. I am not in-love with this board and am thinking...
i read the 6-cores are actually 8-core processors with 2 cores disabled, so i wouldn't expect them to so much beyond the 7s. Curious to see how high the 4 cores go.
I updated today, noticed a few new options but still can't get anything faster than 2400 to post. one of the noted items in the update was memory compatibility, sigh... Also found an option to disable smt, so I am playing with that a bit. Seems to lower power consumption a bit, might be able to...
No, I have this crappy ASUS B350M-A (because I needed a microATX board). I have tried lots of settings but cannot get anything higher than 2400 to post. Frustrated....

Here are my overclocking results (sorry for the large post). I used Ryzen Master for OC settings and HWInfo for monitoring. Primary purpose of my machine for Video Encoding, so my standard stress test is re-encoding a Blu-Ray rip with Handbrake, CQ16, Medium Optimization. This test pegs all...
I bought an Arctic Liquid Freezer 120 for $74 and it is working great. They shipped me my AM4 retention ring last week and I received it a couple days later. Keeps my CPU 20+ C cooler than the stock cooler and let me push past 3.7 GHz to 4.0. I'll post my OC results shortly so you can see the...
Odd, I didn't notice that memory speed setting before, but as soon as I jumped into the BIOS, there it was. But, I still can't get anything faster than 2400 to boot. I tried adjusting the timing and voltages, but nothing higher would boot...
Thank you, I did read those but already tried those suggestions. The BIOS for the B350M-A seems pretty immature at this point, the only DOCP settings available are 3200Mhz, which of course won't post. I only got to 2400 with Ryzen Master. With the Ryzen 5's being released soon I think there...
I have been running a lot of tests with the stock cooler while I wait for my Arctic Cooler AM4 ring...
The best I can get from my 1700 is 3.7 at 1.2v with RAM at 2400. This maxes out at 72 C running my Handbrake torture test for about 90 mins. I have been able to clock up to [email protected] and...
