Sounds like a deal, beer on the way out?

Anyone tried compiling some source code with 3960X and above? Like Firefox or Android.

Firefox compile here and here.

Have a 3960X coming today and I was wondering if there were any pitfalls to watch out for. Do you all install the drivers that come with the mobo or is it better to use AMD's own drivers?

I installed the latest drivers from the motherboard makers site and then installed these AMD TRX40 chipset drivers (with my motherboard Asus never had those chipset drivers on their site anyway). That's all i did and my 3960X works fine, not had any issues and i've had it around 50 days now. If i remember correctly, those TRX40 drivers also include a Ryzen power plan, so after install go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options, and select "AMD Ryzen Balanced".

Thanks much appreciated.

I think the "Can it play Crisis" meme can be now put to bed.

You only have to read the Phoronix review to see that, plus he's done a scaling test difference between Linux, win10 pro and enterprise.

Zoinks, what a terrible 'article' that is.

Enterprise is fine in our testing on 64c.

Hello everyone, I have updated a month ago to TR 3970x from an old intel I7 2600k. I use the rig for GPU rendering and physics sims The results are incredible so far.

1. Until now I have used a temporary 64Gb ram kit but I would like to update to 256GB ASAP. Has anyone managed to run 256GB @ 3600Mhz? I plan to buy 4 kits of Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 64GB 3600MHz DDR4 Dual Channel Memory Kit. My motherboard is the Gigabyte Designare.

2. I am having a hard time getting accurate CPU temperature readings in Windows. What software do you guys use?

Thanks in advance,
Stefan

I use HWInfo (https://www.hwinfo.com/download/) for my threadripper sensor readings

1g of Grizzly is not nearly enough for this CPU. Just saying.

So I've been looking into either getting a 3960 / 3970x. Do you have to go water cooling to keep these things at bay? I currently have a WC setup but i was going to simplify things and go back to AIO or Air cooling.
