Back in 2014 bought a Super Flower Leadex 1000W platinum to go with my 295X2 for £140 from OCUK. Best investment ever. 3 years later is still serving me well after having replaced the other components numerous times (5 CPUs, 4 motherboards, 4 GPUs), and going for 5th complete system (Vega, 1950X and board).
Don't cheapen out on your PSU. Is possibly the only part you wont change many years and worth every penny to spend money on.

It will cover up an overclocked 1950X and a Vega. Anything less might not.
Has that not went up in price since the pre-order price? Near sure it was 960-970 or so

No, it's always been that price.

Think it was always that price.
Need to find the chart where all the CPUs were tested on power consumption (is on the Zen thread) on gaming and multithread applications.
It's showing the 7700K @ 4.7Ghz burning way more power than the 1800X @ 4ghz even on gaming. Which someone could say "duh faster CPU", but burns more power at multithread applications for less the performance!!!!!! (something like 80W)
6700K @ 4.5Ghz was burning more than the 7700K and 4790K @4.5Ghz was burning 60% more than the 1800X @4Ghz and all the others combined.
The benchmark included even X99 CPUs.

@Gibbo and @8 Pack Could you try some of the Dual rank and quad rank quad channel kits (Gskil 3866 one is 4-rank) with the X399 motherboards please? Everyone would love to see your findings. And unfortunately given the price of the things these days, we cannot buy, experiment and sell on ebay. Nobody going to run benchmarks with £500 worth of ram. If it was last year prices, I could have done it for the sake of experimenting and research.

Btw this was posted on the Vega thread. Look at the CPU per core overhead on the NVidia cards compared to the Vega card. On many scenes the NV is hitting 90% on 1 core, while the Vega barely hits 50% on the same scene.
Then some continue to call me crazy, when I write what others say also. That NV drivers optimisation are responsible for the bad Ryzen and SkylakeX performance, which is the common denominator on all benchmarks the last 5 months. Not the CPUs or their architecture.

I suspect they've come in from delivery and been updated stock wise, but someone's simply not checked the pre-order qualifier. I don't think if you ordered one now you'll get it before the 11th (or do OCUK dispatch the evening before so people can get item on release day?)

That's what threadripper tim coverage should look like - not some poxy circle covering half the die.
Roll on proper EK blocks. I just hope they really are avail on the 10th otherwise I'm going to have an expensive pile of parts doing nothing!

I am waiting for the EK blocks and the different board performances before I commit. 1950X is set, so is the block. But motherboard is what I am stuck with. Reason is, since going to keep it for few years, worth the investment.
So is $50,000 per rack, 20 racks, $1mil/£767K in today's money. That is absolutely steal!!!!!!!!!!!! To put in perspective
The Opteron pentaflop machine built back in 2006, which was cutting edge, cost $100,000,000. Or £52,000,000 GBP in 2006 exchange rate.
In today's money for US price inflation adjusted the AMD machine costs 1/120th of the old machine today. (100mn in 2006 is now around 120mn)
And in UK prices inflation adjusted 1/116th the price (£52mn in 2006 is now £89mn).
Wow!!!!!
God, his voice is so annoying.
This is what Vega was designed for no doubts about that

Whilst things have come a incredibly long way, and those racks contain awesome processing power. That is not a good comparison and completely misleading.
Your comparing CPU compute (Opteron) vs GPU compute (Vega), not comparable for the workloads.
They are designed for different tasks, and perform either terribly or awesomely at different types of calculations, and just counting flops does not translate into ability or performance.
You often hear the analogy that a pocket calculator is more powerful than the computers NASA had that put Appolo 11 on the moon, whilst in compute terms it maybe true, however a calculator is not as capable and cannot do the same calculations or tasks.
All that said, that is a beast of a system.
He means that the higher the amount of cores the more likely stability (and efficiency) becomes far more important because of the nature of its use. He's correct, and working as the IT dept for a design company, I concur. Just didn't say it in the best way.
I think the boot is on the other foot ... companies want him to review their product as it gets lots of eyebals for very very little money.
I think hes done amazingly well for his humble beginnings (not gates or bezos well, but pretty damn good....)
With 4.3 million subscribers and many of his videos getting over a million views each I think it's the other way around, they can't wait to give him stuff. No other YouTuber in this space is even close to his numbers.
Yeah I have a lot of respect for him. He is obviously a very clever businessman. He's built quite the business. Seems a good boss to his staff, always trying to grow and provide more.
