Threadripper on Zen+ 32 Cores - Launching Q3 2018

You'd be better sticking your own heatsinks on than using something with a tiny fan

So is anything he's saying, on his channel specifically for extreme overclocking, actually relevant?

I'm always torn with Buildzoids stuff.

He does a good job at looking at the macro VRM design, max drain current of FETs, saturation current of inductors, etc. It is a helpful high level brief on what is likely to be good/bad.
What I dislike is the generalisations made based on this information, probably due to a lack of understanding. We all do it (Dunning Kruger), but we don't all distribute our information via Youtube.

Switch Mode Power Supplies can be complex little beasties, where figures such as the the max drain current of a FET and saturation current of the inductors often mean naff all.
It almost always boils down to subtle performance curves of all interacting components and circuits, all of which are impacted by the board design (layout, internal layers, copper floods, etc).

My 2p.

Hmm he's British.

He's Czech. Lives in Ireland.

I'd love to build a 32 core threapripper system. just to have it and all that power.But I just have no use case for it. Be cool though! If I hit the big time I'll build a ballin HEDT system just because.

Close enough.

I do hope no one is preordering blind? I've confidence TR2 is going to be pretty epic but it's madness to buy tech kit before it's been put through it's paces independently

Someone from here posted images on another forum, of the 2990X and his cat

@CAT-THE-FIFTH you seem gone from this discussion

Still pouring Novec to cool the VRMs

For existing boards, try makeshift

For all the talk of multi-core use cases in the two vids above (24 and 32 core references mainly) I reckon a high percentage of buyers will buy just for the enjoyment of the tech, just for the hell of it, regardless of whether they really need all those cores.
I've not even put a 1950X to are much use as I thought, mainly due to being busy with work, but still great knowing the processing power is there for when I need it.

 

[beany_bot]

Yeah man, I would totally buy it for the enjoyment of the tech if I had that money to simply burn.

Thats a P5 case, if you do not mod the case, it doesn't provide any airflow. So I guess that is normal, especially on the Rampage VI Apex when you overclock those SkylakeX.

On the other hand the monoblock for that motherboard does exist

A major retailer is selling the 1920X for £350 which is silly money so unless you are going at least 16C on TR2 this seems hard to overlook.

Monoblocks dump heat into the loop, they're purely for asthetics really. There's no real tangible benefit otherwise (if you can use active cooling)

Monoblocks are not for 240mm rad loops true

It's be nice to build a 24c/48t system and just have done for 7/8 years

I'll settle for the 2950x and 16 cores in a micro-ATX setup

I just need to see how it performs in Gaming @ 3440*1440 200Hz
