Too glowy for me and will never be seen really. In talks about something with all the best features without all the gaming/rgbness

That'l be the Taichi then.

Wonder if I can get it to pulse red when the cpu is taking a beating tho.... hummm

Gigabyte were talking about introducing graduated colours in response to cpu temp.

 

[Doobedoo]

Not much of a fan of rgb but tbf the black and red theme is less tacky than Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat style that you quite often see.

Got round to building it this morning. Just stuck a Pro WX7100 in it for now. Powered up but didn't get any further.. Ooooooh Glowy!

What speed is your memory running at?

 

[vanpeebles]

Ooof, looking good! I just need a few more bits to arrive, then I can join the fun!

 

[Vince]

That is looking good that. Very nice indeed. Still waiting on mine, hopefully it will be shipped tomorrow.

The Stocks at distis of the X399 Aorus Gaming 7 have arrived so they should be starting to get despatched soon

Unfortunately I am unable to get the system to work at the moment. Whenever I try and PXE boot from network or USB key I get a hang on error code 61 which the bios says is NVRAM Initialization. I have tried different memory and gpus to no avail. Need to get some other work done now, will wait till Gigabyte get back to me.

Will it not just boot from an ssd?

 

[ZXSpectrum]

It wouldn't, I got in this morning and I had received an email from Gigabyte Support. Apparently the issue lies with IOMMU. Disabled now and boots fine.

 

[vanpeebles]

Does that board have mountings for laser cut motifs and things?

 

[ZXSpectrum]

Yup it certainly does. There is a Aorus "Gaming" logo on the chipset heatsink that has a single push pin that can be removed and replaced. It is illuminated by a small strip of leds in the heatsink.

 

[vanpeebles]

You so NEED a laser cut Horace going Skiing motif! I insist!

 

[ZXSpectrum]

LOL I am looking into someone who will laser cut the front panel of my case so I may just do that..

 

[LtMatt]

My Threadripper samples arrived, along with a Zenith board, 32GB GSkill Tridents RGB 3200, 1200W Power Supply and a Thermaltake 360 aio, damn i love my job.

It's a collectors item. It will sit alongside my Fiji Asic HBM die and hopefully soon a Vega Asic HBM die.

 

[vanpeebles]

Gimme!

 

[Vince]

Mine is still not shipped. Waiting on this board is killing me.

Don't Super Alpha partners get them? :'(

BTW All up and running. Seems nice and snappy with great performance at stock. Memory is running at 2933Mhz CL16 on the current XMP Profile. Temp on a old Asetek cooler is maxing out at about 55 degrees so a little bit of headroom to play with.
