Anyone else gets theirs today? Newegg seemed like they’re on the ball!

I’ve got mine running on an Asus Rampage VI Extreme.

nice but you should click the "show details" button so the cpu score shows.
 
That's actually a lot lower than I was expecting, even for a stock 7980X.

Why? That's an 18C/36T behemoth, and my measly 10C/20T 6950X at 4.4GHz is getting 11,839 points on Timespy's CPU test to your stock 10,749 points.

Maybe 3DMark tests aren't written to leverage that many cores at the moment? That would definitely explain it if that is the case.

Edit: nope, I'm seeing 18 to 20k CPU scores in different 7980X Timespy results (overclocked). Maybe something isn't working or set quite right?

Yeah, I'm looking at the settings. I'm not getting the results I would expect. Even found out one of my RAM sticks is bad, so I'm getting a return on that.

Welcome to another "7980xe Owner ass slap thread."

Congrats gentleman. You win at life.

Lol, not trying to win anything. Just excited because this is the first PC I’ve built in seven years since switching back from Apple, and it’s fun being back in it.

I've got the NZXT X62. I'm not comfortable enough yet with the DIY watercooling, so this is a first step.

What are your temps like? I wonder how much headroom you may have for OCing.
My H115i does a decent job of cooling my 18 core xeon e5-2696 V3, but it maxes out at 3.4ghz under full load.

I have two cores clocked to 4.5 GHz and the rest clocked up to 4.2 GHz - boost obviously on this since there's no reasons to run it at full speed all the time. My temps get as high as 60 in benchmarking. The RAM I clocked up to 3466 MHz with no issues.

Do you mind running cinebench? I'm curious what you're able to hit with that clock.

So I updated the OLED firmware and the BIOS to the latest versions, and now the same settings are telling me the CPU is hitting 80+ celsius under load. I clocked it back to stock for now since I wasn't comfortable with those kind of temperatures. I'm not sure which one was the correct reading, but I did notice Windows lock up under heavy load with the new BIOS and firmware.

Weird, I wonder if the new bios is bad. Did you have any lockups with the old bios?

Nope. I think I figured it out. My CAM settings got reset without me knowing it. Updating the BIOS was probably coincidental. Instead of following the temperature curve I created, it reset to silent. I put it back on my curve, and it's doing better but I'm still getting higher temps than I was before. Weird indeed.

I clocked the two best cores up to 4.5 GHz again and left the rest at stock for now. Cinebench score (with my regular work software running in the background) is 3481.
 
can't really say fastest system on the globe until you see the three-generations-older dual xeon e5 v3= 36 cores, 72 threads, hacked turbo. nuff said.

Yeah the V3 stuff is pretty fun. My single socket e5-2696 V3 hits 2800 in cinebench, I still want to play around with it to see if I can undervolt a little more for a higher max turbo. Not a bad deal for $400, although now the prices are crazy on them.

Yes when we talk about fastest system in the world.... 4000 cb score aint shit ... we have super computers in the US and China that would absolutely ravage 100 7980xe in parallel performance. But if we are trying to keep it in the realm of consumers then 7980xe is the fastest comsumber desktop processor. The xeon is not a desktop processor and is a server segment part and thus shouldn't qualify in this contest.

Desktops need to stay in the desktop segment, servers in servers, hedt in hedt, and super in super. We can't cross compare and make wild claims that the 7980xe is not the fastest....

for instance the most powerful "Accalimed as such" super computer in the world in China isn't even using American made chips, i.e. Intel/AMD or TI or Qualcomm, or IBM, etc...

And as far as 7980xew being the fastest... I am not fanboying... look at my signature rig.

I can certainly afford to run a 7980xe but I do not want to afford it nor do I have need for it. I am already struggling to make use of my 1950x with its obnoxious multithreading performance as is lol... I just want to get my hands on an 8700K and if I like it I will probably sell my Threadripper setup. I just literally can't make use of this many cores.
