Yeah some boards have a bit different setup but on most IRST remains as per previous generation with full RAID, etc. a lot of people don't seem to understand what VROC does and the implications for NVME RAID. You do have to watch out a bit though as some boards have different M.2 restrictions/setup to others on X299.

Given the nature of the beast (and not checking HWBOT), probably 4000/4133. Pretty universal speed on SKL-X with the right modules (beyond this is tricky)

They are all running around 3600 or so C16 on Gigabyte and 3866 or so C12 on Asrock.

Why the huge difference in the timings between the Gigabyte and ASrock? thats some good Glue by ASrock.

Yeah, it's pretty fast under LN2.
What if your work / gaming is divided 50%/50%, so in my case its premiere, after effects, cinema 4d, etc. on weekends on downtime id be playing 2560x1440, 140hz gaming. The 7950x will have that advantage in games but will fall short in productivity compared to TR?
Then again, they will both be beasts...

Link to the review?

yeah, the only thing i have seen so far is this....
16 core 7950X performance looks like its the same as the 16 core Threadripper.
Even Intel's 18 core chip is only 10% faster.
That EPYC thou.... its Epic
ok i'll get my coat 
What's the price and power consumption of that Intel chip?

No one cares about price though
Exactly, especially on halo products that look this sexy.

I think that looks a bit meh. Never been a big fan of the armour look.

I like Asus, but that looks childish, overdone and tacky...... its not a good example for what you are trying to say.
Its almost as bad as the childish late 1990's early 00's GPU shrouds.

The funny thing that AMD have done with Threadripper is persuade quite a lot of people that spending 1000 pounds on a cpu is now acceptable - me included!
