*** AMD ThreadRipper ***

[AMDPower]

was wondering if I could get some advice on choosing ram for my 3960x please

normally for ryzen 3000 build I was going to order some 3600mhz ram at cas 14, gskil but that is 2x sticks.

for threadripper I am not sure what to order, I was going to get 4 sticks now and ill add another 4 later ,maybe, but looking at others it seems not many can get threadripper running at cas 14 3600mhz. Don't want to waste money on expensive ram if its not going to run at rated speeds. I am buying some gskil blingy ram lol and the cas 18 3600mhz is much much cheaper than 3600mhz cas 14.

so what to buy is the question.

Overall, the more dimms installed the tougher it is to reach higher memory speeds?

 

[tommoT.Striker]

Also, is this the answer for TR4 High end cooling?

Don't ask me, I don't know.

I watched that last night/this morning, tommo. It'll be interesting to see a review of the slimline production unit once they're out.

What is the quantified effect of higher RAM speed on Threadripper 3?

Same as Ryzen 3

Started building the lab out, CPU usage is high as vRA is deploying but it's all working really well so far. I've got vROps, Horizon and NSX amongst other things to deploy yet so that RAM will get eaten up.

Der8aeur delidded a 3960x.

Ballsy.

Der8aeur delidded a 3960x.

What he doesn't say is that it looks like the indium thermal compound seems to be doing a pretty good job.

What he doesn't say is that it looks like the indium thermal compound seems to be doing a pretty good job.

And what you didn't say is that it actually ran cooler before he delidded it. lol

 

[ChrisD.]

True but he thinks there isn’t enough mounting pressure on the CPU due to the socket modification.
Never something I would consider but it’s an interesting watch.

 

[TonTom]

Imagine borking that delid

It's not going to win any awards but it's functional.

U deserve the name AMDPOWER i am so jealous....

Love the yellow.

 

[tommoT.Striker]

Loving the banana coolant @ChrisD.

 

[ChrisD.]

Thanks guys, it's Mayhems fluid, I've been using it in yellow or orange for about 6 years now without any issues. Blocks always look nice and clean once drained. I might get a different case and run hard tubing in the future.

Well, it's prettier than mine!




I keep thinking about rebuilding it into a more modern case (I've had this one 15 years - LianLi V2000B).

 

[ChrisD.]

Haha, wow. Yeah I fancy a Luxe I think which doesn't have the front drive bays like mine does (which I have no use for other than a fan controller). Then I could mount the pump/res further forward. I fancy going full retard with RGB but that's another load of money I really don't want to spend!

Yes, I think you should take the opportunity to reorganise both the cablling and the tubing (and thus the fluid flow) because they do look a bit of a mess.
