Hey all the Intel launch , you may remember be debating between 7900x vs 2950x for my workload

i decided on my setup & sent a order in to OCUK for the following:

awaiting response from OCUK for payment but this the list.
for people wondering about the AIO, the Enermax seems to having lot of leaking issues so didnt want to risk it at this stage.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £2,892.81 (includes shipping: £14.10)
​

cant wait :)

3 PWN Hubs are to allow me to control each Fan section (3 lots of 3) together as one. & reducing cables to the MB

Grats buddy that's going to be an awesome rig!
 
Is the MEG superior, though? I thought the Zenith was better where the power phases are concerned?

Maybe I'm thinking of another board.

Anyway, very nice spec, Smogs. Enjoy. :cool: :)
 
£149 for a windows OS lol

only paid £5 for mine :) yes yes fleebay grey market im not to fussed been running my £5 key registered the digital licence 9+ months ago no issues at all. :)

Op what usage ?
Click to expand...
My Workload is 60% Gaming 40% work, but when i game i do also set stuff to run in the background also. Currently
when doing so my 1800X is hitting good 80-95% & 12-14GB RAM used.

visual studio for me uses 4.5GB-6GB on its own on its own

Typical day Multitasking Workload At the same time:
Gaming - Visual Studio Compile - Chrome/Youtube/Spotify - Discord - Msi Afterburner - Visual code

think of it as Gaming/streaming workloads but with much higher memory usage.

usage + % percentage of time open
Gaming 60%
VS code 40%
VS Studio 40%
Chrome 100%
Discord/MSi Afterburner 60%

currently working on image recognition software i created in python that will use every core it can see. its going through 3000 images cutting them into 32000 Then going through them for patterns.
my 1800X hit 100% usage :D

it will either assign a reference image per core/thread or Do alternate image recognition
so
core 1 compares img1 vs all reference images (currently 10 but will be hundreds)
core 2 = 2
core 3 = 3
so on...

of course this so any PC can run this, alternative i can offload to CUDA on Nvidia PCs

Tsk tsk. If you do not have a Volta based card, leave TensorFlow to Vega 64 capable hands my friend :D

Thats Cifar10 from earlier this year, benchmarking ROCm on AMD vs CUDA9 and cuDNN7 on NV GPUs.

Yeah, Vega can do matrix multiplication quite fast even without specialized units like "Tensor Cores".
Especially if you can find some cheap FE, you are set. the V100 who beats them costs £8,000!!

Not even close. Meg destroys every other x399 in terms of power delivery, no contest.


Nice list Smogsy, i bet you can't wait to get it!

Yeah. MEG is the top board. But for anything less than the 2990WX/2970WX the Zenith is good one also.

For sure, the Zenith isnt a bad board, but in terms of power delivery the MEG is in a league of its own. As you say, whether you can reach the limit of the zenith or others depends on the CPU you use.

Np. Hopefully MSI will start a trend rather than being the odd one out.

Yeah. Seems MSI whole Ryzen lineup, X470s, B450s and X399s, is pretty solid. Especially the top dogs, the X470 M7 and X399 MEG.
On overclock.net on the TR discussion, there are some ridiculous posts there..... MEG with 2990WX at 5.3Ghz on LN2, or with just PBO, 2990WX 27 out of 32 cores at 4.283Ghz and 5 at 4050-4150, under water. Posted the image on the TR discussion here. Need some big monitor to view all the data in the HWInfo!!!

Personally going to get the Taichi for the 2920X, assuming it goes for £600 otherwise pointless given that the 2950X is just £800
 
Yeah, I'm likely to go for the 2920 or 2950, but it depends on how prices shape up by the time I order. I may end up with the 1920x/1950x, I'll have to see.

I've never had a really good motherboard before, so maybe the MEG or Asrock Taichi.
