I targeted some of the timings in a DDR4 subtimings youtube guide, couldn't go as aggressive but gave me stuff to play with.
 
I've found that overall, with the apps I use the most, setting NUMA (Local) mode is best for performance by a few percent, so that's how I permanently run my system.
 
Anyone with the X399 (I'm using the Asus X399-A) and Samsung 960 Pro and maybe other drives seeing a system compatibility issue in Samsung magician? It's VID 1022.
States "Under the current system environment, some functions of Magician CANNOT be run. If multiple iterations to Read and Write are performed, RAPID mode may become inactive due to system internal errors on some of the AMD/ASMedia Controller or Driver."

I've tried with and without the Samsung NMVE driver and also tried the latest chipset drivers.
System running fine. Although I don't go looking for issues I have noticed the drive speed is a little slower than the reviews out there have found. Maybe will be fixed under a new Bios soon but if anyone has anymore info please share.

It's hardly surprising that Rapid Mode dosn't work on any NMVE drive, it's not supposed to work on NMVE drives it's only supposed to work on SATA drives.

Ah, that make sense then. Maybe Samsung will remove the stupid message for such drives :).

I have Samsung drives but OEM so magician doesn't work, I just install the Samsung driver and go about my day :D

Funny you should mention that. I've found the performance benchmark in Magician reports faster numbers without their own NVME driver installed. Read went from 27** to 3328. I've tried it twice now. Write back up from 1627 to 2010 too with their own driver removed :D​

My personal opinion (edit: not the bit about magician but the slightly down on other benchmark speeds) is that its the board. I have both a 399-A and the Taichi and have noticed that my nvme was a notch faster on the Taichi than it is the Prime, Not so much a concern seen as it's still more than fast enough. I don't think that we will get NVME raid from the prime either. I would really love to go back to my Taichi but until I know that bios is fixed for ESXi it isn't really an option :(

Thanks. I was tempted by the other Asus board but not an extreme overclocker and bit too "gamey" themed for me....and then there's the price. Am happy with the X399-A, it's a decent quality board. I saw I think a post from you regarding ESXI and that's why I didn't bother looking at the Tachi, + would rather stick with my preferred motherboard vender. Not using ESXi just now though, using Hyper-V for some projects at the moment.

Yea the prime is not a bad board. I know I moan about it and have compared it with the Taichi in my build thread which doesn't paint the prime in a great light but it does just work. Granted it's not packed full of features like the rest of the 399 lineup but it does exactly what it says it will do. I think the vendors have made a bit of a mistake with the TR4 lineup in terms of the boards out there right now as well, pretty much all of them are geared up towards the gamer when in reality there are cheaper chips a third of the price that can game like a Threadripper if not better, the greater appeal of the Threadripper chip is its workstation capability. More boards should have been geared up towards the professional! Not every board needs RGB, Big Gaming Graphics and "Gaming" in the name, of all the boards readily available right now only two could be classed as professional boards.
 
I'm really hoping for a supermicro board in the "super workststion" range they do, they must be 99% of the way there already with there single CPU Epyc boards anyway...
Registered dimm support (TR supports more than the 128gb limit on all current boards), 10g NICs, and plenty of storage options - yes please.
 
Overclocked my 1920x to 4GHz. It needs 1.31V to run stable, LLC bumps that up to 1.34V. Definitely seems to overclock better since replacing my old TX650 PSU, which only had the one EPS power cable. Performance on single threaded is about the same.
