[Yaayuh!]

Screw these Youtube bellends, any decent written reviews yet?

Edit:

@Boomstick777 Wang these in the op mate

i've not had enough time and i'm not going to lie the lack of proper coolers till the other day has really hindered any actual testing but 8pack is on it quite hard atm

Is there any point to overclocking the Threadripper?

Besides memory, probably not a great deal. Does clock marginally better than R7, though by the looks of things. I'd say a proper loop is fairly paramount, though if wanting to get the most out of it.

Only half way through the GamersNexus review but it seems not. The boost clock is 4 GHz and XFR is 4.2 GHz, and you're not going to get over 4 GHz all-core overclock anyway, so in some cases stock settings will actually be faster. Basically just get good enough cooling for the boost clocks to hold and you're done.

Right, got a few videos to get through now

Gamers Nexus true to form.

30 minutes long, 20 minutes on mostly single threaded old games, 5 minutes on power consumption, and a couple of tests somewhat relevant to the CPU, total waste of 30 minutes, it tells you nothing you want or need to know.

AdoreTV will be the review to watch.... Should be a lot more informative......

a couple of reviwers have had 4.1/4.2 chips but the jury is out on if that was silicon lottery atm i'd say given that ryzen 3.8/3.9 is more common than 4.0 it will be the same with TR

 

[gavinh87]

TR not a gaming CPU.
Well I'll be damned, who would have thought
Why are they even testing games?

Aye threadripper is now added to my order Just looks to me like board is holding the order back. So all we need now is Motherboard > Delivery > Profit.

Added a Seasonic P860 Platinum PSU for good measure!

Pleased with what I'm seeing in the reviews - pre-order is staying

 

[humbug]

Yes.

 

[Yaayuh!]

I know the gaming benchmarks mean little in the grand scheme of things with TR, but remember that most use nVidia cards with the benchmarks. Remember the nVidia + Ryzen performance issue.

No BF1 benches in there, is that a bit odd considering its ability(i think) to use as many cores as it can get ? Or is there no standard BF1 benchmark ?

Few of the youtube videos covered both 1080 and 1440p. Loses by a fair margin to the 7900X.

This is interesting from pauls hardware

This is in "game mode" so it has 1 ccx disabled, essentially making it a ryzen 7.
He said the threadripper was noticeably smoother than the i9.
This has been said before with ryzen vs i7 and we put it down to having more cores to deal with background tasks
but here the threadripper has less cores active (game mode) and was smoother. This must be architectural.....

Notice the 0.1% lows. This is with a core and a clock disadvantage.

They are all using pretty much the same list of some what obscure games, all of them not the best with Ryzen, Interesting, looks like Intel are also sending out "benchmarking guidelines"
