Thanks for the reply, i guess my backup plan is to use corrosion inhibitor and check regularly. (on a related note, you hear terrible warnings and horror stories about pc watercooling and galvanic corrosion, but home heating systems are a mass of mixed metals, and nobody seems to stress about...

So, long story short, im building myself a cnc machine. The spindle (drill basically) is watercooled. It has a pair of 6/8mm compression fittings on it. I was happily planning to use old pc watercooling bits i have to hand to cool it. Then realised the water "jacket" of the motor is...

one other question.. if you have used this motherboard.. how do you find the single core performance? running single core tests (cinebench single core for example) it literally NEVER uses the starred "best" cores in ryzen master.

ahh you are lucky, it seems common users dont get much love from asrock. - ive got some wierd PBO issues that i would LOVE to ask them about, but if they dont reply to tech support messages on their dedicated "tech support" messaging system, or to posts on their forum, theres not a lot i can...

so much for my theory about the throttling being caused by voltage limit.. today its boosting to 3.7 all core, but voltages are sitting at 1.2v.. which is above the current 1.18v "peak core voltage" basically pbo is wierd. im beginning to doubt if anyone actually understands it.. apart from...

you managed to get support from asrock? i mailed them 11 days ago and theyve not replied yet. note, that im perfectly stable at default settings xmp 3200 cl15 (or 16, i believe gear-down rounds it up) i even appear stable at the same timings, but 3400 and 1.375v, although ive not benched...

thanks for all the replies.. especially suggested voltages and whatnot. my main aim is stability and definitely not risking the lifespan of the chip. second comes getting the most i can out of the setup. it was a crazy decision buying it, and it has to last a damn long time to justify the...

so ive had my new monster 3990x workstation a couple of weeks. i thought i had a handle on PBO. probably i dont.. its too clever for me. if i set the wattage over 400w or the TDC over 325 amps, i get throttling from 3.9 ish down to 500 mhz in hwinfo, or 2.8 if i look at ryzen master. this...

so, revisiting the PBO stuff.. i settled on a 550w limit since (it seemed) it gave me a solid 3.9ghz all core, with 400w going through cpu. a nice compromise between clocks and insane power consumption. however now ive tested it with a longer render, i can see that also with this setting...

another test. i bumped dram voltage to 1.375 and increased clock to 3400 1:1, leaving timings at cl15 my scores went down even more than when i enabled 1:1 on 3200.. wut?

ok so i have my machine set up. it runs fiiine. 3990x asrock creator trx40 128gb tridentz 3200cl15 however im just starting with tuning it up and i have a few observations: first, at default, my tridentz ram with xmp profile loaded runs at the correct 3200 clock.. however the infinity...

Hi all. I have a creator trx40 motherboard and a 3990x cpu arriving in a couple of days. Ive read that the 3990 is only supported with the latest bios. Since i ordered mobo before cpu was even released, its highly possible it won't have the latest bios. Given i am hardly likely to have another...

Yes its the trx40. Buying the wrong motherboard would be quite a nooby step! The reason i chose that one, was my original choice of a 3970.. I changed cpu choice after everything had shipped. Its also ideal in other respects, atx size, space for 4 gpus..

ok so i about to receive a 3990x. ive never had a ryzen before. my last build was a watercooled 3930k way back. obviously its a massive investment ( im a 3d animator) so i dont wish to risk damaging the chip. the multithreaded performance is just fine. however im wondering how i can...

Hi, im just about to recieve the bits to build my new killer 3d workstation, including an asrock creator motherboard and 3970x cpu.. Of course ive now seen the reviews of the 3990x, particularly with pbo and in vray.. Its aweeeesome. Im going bonkers trying to decide if i want almost double...

Theoretical build: threadripper 3970x and 2080 ti, watercooled in cerberus x case. Can fit a 280mm rad and a 240mm rad, with the main challenge being space for airflow once all components are in. Is that enough radiator or will i have problems?

so, ive ordered my bits. when i finally get them all and build my machine, we will have to compare notes. i was wobbling horribly about my memory choice, conflicting advice everywhere on wether those 32gb dimms were going to leave loads of performance on the table due to slack timings or...

im building a new threadripper 3970 workstation and have to choose between two 128gb options. either Corsair 4x32gb (3600 18-22-22-42) which is a) cheap and b) provides an easy upgrade to 256gb (which i may need in the next 5 years) or gskill trident z 8x16gb (3200 15-15-15-35) which is...

best comment of an extremely useful post :) yeah ill only get led ram if its cheaper.. i believe you can turn them off?! anyway you basically have the same setup im considering. i really like the asrock board because its "cheap" has room for 4 gpus and is atx instead of tennis court...

hi all! as title, im building a new 3d workstation. im getting very confused researching ram. i would like 128gb (im a 3d animator, trust me, ill use it) so.. there is precious little info online regarding compatibility with threadripper 3rd gen and 128gb+ ram setups. i understand its...
