    Threadripper 3000, who bought it?

    Those scores are pretty much the same as mine. Single core cinebench has the core it's running on boostin between 4.35ghz and 4.55ghz which is as expected. What are you using to monitor boost clocks?

    That's a shame - prices are already dropping in the UK, down from 1349gbp to 1309gbp this weekend.

    Threadripper 3000, who bought it?

    Plenty of stock in the UK in all the usual places (amazon, ocuk, scan, ebuyer et. - even some more diverse outlets such as box have them).

    Threadripper 3000, who bought it?

    Really? Creating another TR trashing thread? https://www.overclock.net/forum/10-amd-cpus/1738258-still-no-official-threadripper-3000-thread-no-one-bought-those-cpus.html We get it. You're poor. You can't afford Threadripper. Just leave it alone and let those of us that can afford it enjoy it.

    I've had a 3960x since a few days after launch - it's f***ing amazing!

    New build, help. 3k budget(WoT inside)

    Go for Threadripper 3960X - drop the ram spec to 3600C16 (no point going higher due to FSB:IF 1:1 lock breaking), I've just bought 64gb (4x16gb) gSkill Neo for 320 gbp. Asus Strix TRX40-E is a solid board as well, should save a bit of money.

    What is precision boost scalar?

    Ditto on my Auros 7 - chaning the value from default to 200, 500 or 1000 has no effect.

    What's your highest boost clock 2950x?

    Mine hits 4.4ghz across four cores (well, 4390mhz due to my fsb being 99.8mhz on this board for some reason). What motherboard do you have - Gaming 7?

    Anyone order Threadripper 2 yet? User feedback is highly valuable.

    Hhere's a run down of the 1950x stock vs 2950x PBO comparison. Don't focus on the actual numbers too much - it's a year old windows install with about 40 apps running in the system tray and two VM's running - the comparison is just to see the uplifts offered. The reason why I think this...

    Smallest cooler for 2950x? Special case...

    I ran my 1950x with a corsair h55 and it coped fine. If you aren't overclocking you don't need to disable any cores.

    Issues overclocking TR 2990WX using MSI x399 MEG Creation MB

    PBO on a 2950x should keep the full 4.4ghz across 4 cores, at least it does on mine.

    AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX & 2950X Unboxing @ [H]

    No. It sounds like your apps (database?) are really designed for server class systems - i.e. EPYC. TR is HEDT class, so the typical apps for this class (Blender, Cinema4D, VMs etc) still scale quite happily with cores even with a restricted memory pool. I'm not planning on going beyond 32gb...

    AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX & 2950X Unboxing @ [H]

    The new TR chips will work in all existing X399 motherboards (I'm certainly putting a 2990wx in my Aurous), however, due to the higher TDP, overclocking may be very limited or even non existent. But if they get XFR2 working in the same way as the 2700x, overclocking might be a mute pount anyway.

    32 core Threadripper is coming out.

    Existing TR is fine for gaming, so I can't see the new TR's being any worse.

    32 core Threadripper is coming out.

    If AMD can get a similar XFR boost profile to the 2700x (4.35ghz single core, 4ghz 8 cores and so on, even if it ends up at 3ghz on 32 cores) then I'll be chopping in my 1950x in August :-)

    Anyone regret getting threadripper after seeing 7980xe leaks?

    No regrets - the 7980xe is twice the price.

    Backbreaker, my 1950x build

    Are you sure the cpu temp is off? Or is it that you're just applying less voltage than at stock? For example, when mine is set to stock, the voltage can fluctuate all the way up to 1.488 due to XFR kicking in. Subsequently, when I "lock" the voltage, the cpu actually idles at a lower temp.

    AMD Threadripper Gooseberry HEDT World Record? - [H]

    Dunno. Updated bios since release? Memory timings? I've run it multiple times, always comes out around there - even did 175 one run but didn't screenshot it. I also score 3040 multi thread at default, which seems higher than the reviewers were getting as well. In fact, looking at the...

    Backbreaker, my 1950x build

    Word of warning, don't follow EKs blob tim method. I did and I had 10c worse temps than when I redid it as a star (big x and small vert/horizontal lines). Use the whole 1g tube (although I use Kryonaut rather than the included Hydronaut).

    AMD Announces Ryzen Threadripper 1900X @ [H]

    3466 @ C16 here - 1000% HCI coverage. You just have to be willing to set the timings yourself and not rely on the Intel derived XMP timings.

    AMD Threadripper Gooseberry HEDT World Record? - [H]

    I've done some tests with Blender and and it scales pretty linearly with cores on Ryzen/Threadripper. So 16 cores at 3.7ghz will still be quicker than 14 cores at 4.2 ghz.
