Memory recommendations chaps / chapesses? Got 2400 out of my Corsair plat. 2666 (which clocked to 3000 on X99).

 

[8 Pack]

8Pack team dark pro 3200Mhz c14 are plug and play with Threadripper. 3333mhz very easy c14 with 32GB.

im leaning towards a threadripper build with a custom loop would a 480mm radiator be enough to keep it and a gtx1080 cool under load if the 1950x is overclocked its a 480mm 60mm thick radiator

 

[8 Pack]

Yes fine^

Anybody have any idea on what's possible with 64gb over 8 sticks? Tuning my ram as much as I can but in truth have no idea what I'm doing

 

[dante666]

thanks ian still deciding what to do whether 1950x or i9 7900x god i hate making decisions lol

Same as me, but it just seems if you game as much as you work it seems the 7900x seems the most likely choice... if gaming is not a factor then surely 1950 is a no brainer...

 

[dante666]

i wouldnt say i game a massive amount so it only factors in to a small degree and id be running a 1080 so its not a huge deal breaker wanted to get into some overclocking as have never really done that before aswell sooo decisions decisions

 

[roysters]

I feel ya! im still deciding myself. My workload is video editing, after effects, cinema 4d, etc. But i really do like gaming at 144hz at 2560x1440 / 3440x1440.

No huge rush, ill wait for more reviews.

also if you are not an avid gamer you can game at decent fps on threadripper from what reviewers are saying

Of course you can as long a you don't play at 1080p with a 1080Ti (and even that is just in some games). I doubt people buying HEDT platforms are gaming at that.

GTX 1070 and below is fine on budget CPUs, which are nowhere near as good as Threadripper, even at 1080p.

 

[dante666]

im using a 2560x1080 at the moment but thinking of upgrading this also though im on a 1080 not a ti

Almost 3 times as much as my R5 1600, not too shabby.

That was running at 3.7Ghz.

That was running at 3.7Ghz.

That score matches mine almost exactly at 3.7. I managed a run at 3.9 which netted 3335. Memory I can only seem to get my 64gb to 1533/3066 at around cas 16.
