Appreciate the suggestion but Clock speeds and memory speeds are extremely critical for the datasets we are working with I have the cpu clocked at 4.5GHZ on 16 threads (Multithreading off not supported by our workload). It does look like you may be right about the first gen Thread Ripper memory support I found official AMD documentation stating that is only supports 128GB. Looks like I will have to go with a gen 3 thread ripper build to get the memory support I need.

The CPU architecture supports 1TB of ram using 128GB DIMMs something that I haven't really seen yet but I do know that DDR4 32GB and 64GB DIMMs exist and I can get a 256GB and 512GB kit. The big issue here is if the Gigabyte BIOS has a limit for the amount of memory that can be recognized. something that is sometimes present in lower end motherboards to difireterate high end/server boards from lower end boards.

I recently had some requests up to upgrade a compute server build from 128GB of ram to 256GB or 512GB and wanted to ask if any of you have experience with 32GB or 64GB DIMMS on consumer motherboards that do not call out support for more than 128GB of ram. The current build is as follows MB: Gigabyte X399 AORUS PRO ATX sTR4 (Supported 128GB max) CPU: AMD Threadripper 1950X RAM: DDR4 16GB x8 2666Mhz Our compute application is currently hitting a memory wall and I need cheap options (AKA not upgrading to dual socket server boards) to get this build up to 256GB or 512GB of ram, I am open to upgrading the MB however I am hoping that someone has tried 32GB or 64GB DIMMS on a Gigabyte X399 board that only calls for 16GB support and can let me know if there is potential of these DIMMS working with a stock BIOS. I may just buy the 64GB kit and try it out but I thought I would try and feel it out first.

These types of fittings can normally be found using the term "Bulkhead". AKA search for Bulkhead HDMI connector and you should find something that would work well for you.

Do you post with the GPU installed but with your display hooked up to the IGPU? Did you previously have a GPU installed in the same slot? Did you make sure the two 8 pin GPU power connectors where connected? I personally think your PSU will probably be very close to running out of power under load with that card however it should be enough to post.

Hi all I have been looking around for a replacement for my current 4K 43" Koran display and cant seem to find very many options. I thought the whole BFGD push would have brought more displays in this category but it seems to be fairly limited. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations that would fit my needs. Needed Features Resolution: 3840 x 2160 Size: 40" - 50" (43" is ideal for my setup) Freesync or G-Sync Wanted but not necessary Refresh: 120Hz HDR Support I have only really found two displays that fit my needs but I cant even find the ASUS monitor for sale. 1. ROG Strix XG438Q 2. Philips Momentum 436M6VBPAB

You can check to see if there is a firmware update for the display but I found that that was near impossible to find (at least for my korean display). If you have a popular model of display you might get lucky and find an updated firmware that removes the restriction however I would be somewhat hesitant in performing such an update.

Some monitors will actively look at the refresh rate and not display signals outside of the range that is software encoded into them. I have two 27" displays that use the same panel but different input boards one will not display anything over 60Hz giving me a similar message however my other display will overclock to 90Hz no problem. Given the info above I would say that you can not overclock your display.

Hey everyone I currently got some of the parts of my new build together and have been working on the overclock for my 6850K. I am currently chasing down a 4.6GHz overclock that is currently just outside of my reach (Awaiting my EKWB goodie box). My question is what is your X99 Broadwell-E CPU running for core voltage and clocks peed, and what cooling are you currently using? I have been looking around and most outlets or info I can find seems to show me that 4.4GHz is what you should expect from these CPUs but most of that info come from review samples.

You need to be very careful that non of the pins touch. I would recommend you cutting as meany of the finger as you can off if you plan on not replacing the board. If some of those pins touch each other in the correct way you can kill your CPU very easily. If you feel comfortable with wire cutters just cut them as short as you can without damaging surrounding components.

Hardware wise it should not effect the lifespan of your components. However you run a huge risk of corrupting windows files that can cause all sorts of issues that take forever to diagnose and repair.

Its a PCIE 1X port, its the same as the 16X port your GPU is in but instead of 16 data lanes it only has one. Sound cards, raid controllers and other 1X devices can be used in that port.

You would not get a display if you had no Vram. Its probably just not detecting the shared memory correctly.

I recently picked up a 4K display that is non G-Sync/FreeSync and have to say unless you have some serious GPU power to keep your frame rate at 60+ FPS you would be better off with a G-Sync or FreeSync monitor. I get allot of tearing and have to drop down details quite a bit to get 60+ FPS and regret not getting a FreeSync display. Even SLI 1080's have issues running the games I play with high details at 4K with a constant 60+ FPS. I don't think the slight benefit in moving from a founders edition of the 1080 to a custom card really makes much more than a few FPS difference at 4K and think you would be better off with a G-Sync/FreeSync display.

You don't have to but your much more likely to put allot of stress on the switches if you pull the caps off unevenly. Just make sure you pull evenly from both sides of the cap, that should help you prevent damage to the switch
