*** AMD ThreadRipper ***

I already have the Noctua cooler and a Corsair AIO, both seem to be fine. My query was after the v2 issues, perhaps something has changed.....i'm not getting one though.
 
Considering a workstation upgrade, is now a good time to buy a threadripper? I realise there's zen 2 refresh of ryzen parts, and zen 3 coming maybe early next year, haven't heard anything about threadrippers specifically though.

Also wondering why everything is out of stock at OC? Except the 3990, which is amazing value right now, but still a little over what i wanted to spend on a new cpu.

Thanks! Could have sworn that wasn't there when I checked this morning!

Wouldn't surprise me tbf. The last time I complained about their UEFI on here, then later went to check for updates and that version was dated a week after I posted on OcUK... Either I time travelled or they don't maintain the versioning and update lists very well. :D

That's fair enough, but you are missing out on a lot of AGESA updates. I've updated every time a new version came out and it's been painless.

Oh, I wasn't aware. I was just running with the usual BIOS update mindset of it's it not broke then don't fix it. I'll update later on.
 
Updated to the latest and *seems* okay so far. It's managed to boot with my RAM at 3200 now and I'm sure it would only do 3000 before (I have 8 DIMMs).
 
This makes even less sense.. So the alpha is on 1.0.0.7.

Version 1003 2020/05/29 7.01 MBytes

ROG ZENITH II EXTREME ALPHA BIOS 1003
1.Improved system stability
2.Updated CastlePeakPI1.0.0.7

Before running the USB BIOS Flashback tool, please rename the BIOS file (Z2EA.CAP) using

I'm going to check it with CPU-Z

Nope. Its 1.0.0.4

For TR I don't see why not. Somebody here can correct me but I don't think we expect to see zen 3 based Threadrippers until next year, but when? After server and mainstream parts drop for sure. I think most of the refinements in the zen 3 architecture are focused on latency improvements and clock speed nudges. You can judge if that's important to you.

What are you running now out of interest? What shiny new TR are you considering? PS I think OC have stock on all the Threadrippers now :O

Thanks, appreciate the input! I'm squeezing the last drops out of a 5930k atm, which has been decent with single-threaded tasks, but struggles with simulations. Looking at a 60 or 70, and asrock creator for the 4 dual pcie slots (render a fair bit on gpu as well).
