Ever since I decided to overclock my 1920x ive noticed that whenever im not at my desk doing something on my pc, I come back to a frozen screen and end up having to restart and then everything will be fine for awhile till it happens again. I've tried messing around with the voltage and and base clock speed by tweaking them up and down just a little bit but it doesnt seem to fix anything. I do recall Linus saying something about Threadripper being RAM hungry. in what sense I dont remember if it's ram speed or gigs available. Anyways I have 16gbs of 3600MHz corsair Vengence LPX.

Hey guys so I just paid for a Thread-ripper 1920x for my new gaming rig / server. this will be my interim gaming PC while I wait to get the rest of the parts for the actual gaming PC. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the 1920x or first gen thread-ripper in general. I have heard about reliability claims but for a price tag of $150 USD I couldn't say no.

My old but stable and functional rig with FX 8350, 16 GB Memory and Zotac Geforce 970 have become dated and underperforming, so I started buying parts for a new rig a couple years ago which I build last month. Surely the core components have become somewhat dated, but are still an upgrade compared to my old rig. The rig had no issues to begin with, but have always booted up in a way that I found strange. Luckily the MB have a small LCD screen with text telling what it does. When clicking the start button the fans ramps up, and the system spends seconds checking memory without posting. Then suddenly the system plays dead for a couple seconds before starting up again with a new memory check, and then proceeding to CPU and the usual connected components before posting. This all takes like 15-20 seconds, but that might be how the old Threadripper systems are supposed to start. The rig had it's first crash during a game three days ago, and I got PTSD reminding me of last time I had a faulty GPU because... well I have no money and GPU's are neither cheap nor available nowadays. Luckily it turns out that my RX 590 is not faulty as the same crash occurred when I had swapped it out with my working GTX 970. Anyway, the crashes are always sudden deaths - no blue screens or error codes, and no useful records in the Event Log, and have so far only happened when the computer have been in active use. Right after this crash occurs I have to turn off the power switch on the PSU in order to be able to reset the system and turn it back on. And even then it often starts the procedure of checking memory, and crashes again. I have also tested my memory sticks, and either each and single one of them are faulty, or none of them are. Sadly I only have this one MB with support for DDR4, so I haven't been able to confirm with another rig. Does it exist any logging software that can help me diagnosing the issue my new rig is having? Right now I am going blind frightening that the MB itself or the CPU might be faulty meaning I have to buy a new core components, and I am living on unemployment benefits without spare money.

Hello everyone. First time to post here. I just recently built a new system with the following specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920x Cooler: Corsair H115i Motherboard: Asus ROG Zenith Extreme RAM: G.Skill TridentZ DDR4 64 GB 3200 (4x16 GB) GPU: Asus ROG GTX 1080 Ti OC (2 in SLi) PSU: Corsair AX1500i HDD: Samsung 960 Evo 1 TB HDD2: Samsung 850 Evo 1 TB HDD3: Samsung 850 Evo 1 TB When all is said and done, it seems that my build has an awful tendency to slow down and drag during basic functions like running multiple windows of browsers or startup takes quite awhile to load. I've run some games on it as well but I experience heavy lag in them, particularly in games like Ghost Recon Wildlands or Grand Theft Autov V. I've throttled them down to the lowest settings in 4K and I'm not experiencing anything in terms of being smooth. Is there something in the BIOS for my system that I'm not seeing? My experience on my old i7-4790K was smoother than this. Thanks for the read.

Great news everyone. The AMD 1920x and 1950x ThreadRipper CPUs are now available for pre-order on Amazon and Newegg. Happy shopping...

so i got a pretty decent system and i do HAVE water cooling but its a AIO not too long ago i was thinking on moving to a costume water cooling system like a decent 360mm rad and all. but i donnu if its worth it. like will my 1920x will get much lower temps? this days i got a https://www.arctic.ac/worldwide_en/liquid-freezer-360.html and i had it for years now. back from my 5820k until today. and it been doing a decent work. this days its still runs well with my cpu hitting a max of 84c (a 1920x Oc to 3.95ghz) but i wonder if i get a beter cooler will i be able to push it the extra bit to reach 4ghz even tho i will most likely upgrade to a 3rd gen TR wan those will go out anyways. still beter cooling wont hurt! anyhow what do u think. another plus im thinking is the next gpu ill get either navi or nvidia i will want to water cool so a costume system has it pluses. i think its more down to do i do it now just cpu and add a gpu later. or is it not worth the headache now and just wait for the new gpu for the whole thing to happen

as the title says would 2 4gb 3200mhz ram sticks cripple the 1920x (if not im going to buy another 2 in a month or so)

Hey guys! Was wondering what would be the most beneficial for an editing PC. I know the Threadripper is better but it is also a lot more expensive than the 2700x. What CPU is the best bang for the buck? I would go with Intel but I wont be doing gaming so I won't benefit from an Intel chip where as I will benefit from AMD where programs like Premiere can use those extra cores and threads. Any other CPU recommendations are welcome!

Hi guys, I recently received my 1920x today and I saw these marks on the IHS. The marks are in a perfect square and do not wipe off trust me I have tried. From some information from a rep at AMD I have been told it is fine due to it being from either manufacture or even more testing on the cpu before being sent to the retailer. Therefore, he said that my CPU may well perform exceptionally due to it being properly binned and tested. However any help from you guys is much appreciated as this isn't a cheap chip and the retailer I bought it through is not being good about this at all and believes it is my fault, this got me really annoyed because this is clearly long term over tightened usage of an older cooling block on the IHS. But from what the rep said I am much happier, but any help or information you guys can give is much appreciated. Thanks guys, seb

Hey guys, I just wanted to share my experience with trying to overclock Threadripper and the experience I just had to go through troubleshooting it over the past week. I'm hoping, if you find this, it might bring some light to some of the pitfalls you might find so you can try the fix or avoid them entirely. The entire reason I'm writing this is because I ran into a huge issue after attempting to clock my ram to advertised speeds, which sent me down a rabbit hole of an endeavor, resulting in a bricked 860 evo and a lot of wasted time. If I can save you even a fraction of this effort, I'll consider this post a success. I built my rig ~ 3 months ago when the first gen threadrippers dropped in price to make room for gen 2, specs of which are as follow: - Processor: Threadripper 1920X - Radiator: Enermax AIO Cooler 280mm - Memory: GSkill Trident RGB 3200mhz (CL 15, which I think is a problem) - GPU: EVGA 1080 FTW - Motherboard: ASRock Taichi x399 I overclocked the processor after building and it worked like a dream, 4.0ghz across all cores at 3.75V. I realize this is way overkill in voltage, but the temps didn't stray past 60C. For context, this is at 1080p at 144fps which was easily achievable. A few months go by, and I'm experimenting with software to limit some of the cores in order to isolate processes for streaming, which I manage to do successfully and wound up with a really solid experience with MHW gameplay at 60fps + streaming 60fps at 720p. Wonderful and great overall. Then came the issues. I had heard rumors that Threadripper really shines with faster memory, which is why I had bought the GSkill Trident 3200 memory in the first place. What I hadn't heard is that it's also very, VERY picky about what kind of memory you have, which I soon found out. I went into BIOS, scrolled to my XMP profile, and set it to 3200... Aaaaaaaand..... "Please select the proper boot device and restart." Of all the errors, why does switching my memory speed cause the drive to not be found? (Spoiler alert, it's cause I was stupid and also switched the lanes from 1x16 to 4x4. I -think- anyway, still unsure.) Regardless, I had no idea, and after talking to a few coworkers I decided to go in and remount my SSDs. And success! Yay! The boot drive is found and it's going into windows.... black screen. Bad drivers, lets try fixing it. Fast forward cause I wound up corrupting my windows install due to being completely impatient, and went to reformat the drive. The horror part: I used DBAN on an SSD. Do not do that, as it does WAY too many read/writes that takes years off the life of it. I was ignorant to this and just used the first thing I could put onto media to wipe my drive, and it wound up bricking it. If at all possible, use your manufacturers' software, but if you're trying to wipe from a bootable media, I was able to with AOMEI Partition Assistant. Instead of doing a plethora of read/writes, it just sends all the NAND to 0, and instead of taking 2-3 hours to accomplish, does it in a matter of minutes. After everything was "like new," I fired up windows. No boot. Change mem back to 2133mhz. Boots fine. (this really bothers me, as the ram is rated to clock 3200hz and, well, doesn't.) Decide to start getting things installed and check my temps, and I'm running a cool 68C! That isn't cool at all... Weird, maybe my clock is wrong. So I set everything back to default values of 3.5 ghz at 2.225V (or whatever the default value is) and.... nope, still 68C. Huh... Well I guess I screwed up when I reinstalled my cooler. So I go ahead and do a quick remount, pull the block from the die and man, I should've taken a picture. It was, by far, the worst application of thermal paste in history. There were spots on the processor that were incredibly thin, and even parts of it that didn't have paste on them at all! SURELY, this is why I was running into heating issues! SURELY once I take care of this, I can finally achieve my original clock speeds and be well on my way to maximum FPS!! Remount, using plenty of paste this time, feeling good as I boot into windows and it is now 40C on boot instead of 50C. Wonderful, obviously doing its job. Fire up some games and it spikes to 60C as I play a bit. Over the course of an hour, I see temps spiking, reaching a max of 92C. Well I know for certain it's not an installation or lack of thermal paste this time (I used the entire tube, doing an X across the entire die with little dots + lines between the slashes.) And it mounted fine... What else could be the problem. I feel the tubes, and one tube is much warmer than the other, and the rad didn't feel the slightest bit warm to the touch... The telltale signs of a dead pump. That was my horror story of bad decisions troubleshooting a really expensive rig. Thankfully, through persistent monitoring of my hardware, I didn't stress the system to the point of failure. There was a TON of thermal throttling during games, which upon seeing I immediately turned off the system to allow temps to fall. I'm currently waiting on a noctua 140mm air cooler with an additional fan, just so I can be certain the variable isn't a dead pump when I start clocking again. TLDR: I chased a problem down an elaborate rabbit hole, and while it's still not solved, managed to navigate the domino effect of trouble that I caused for myself. The key points I wanted to make are as follow: - ONE CHANGE AT A TIME! It's basic, but after seeing my own failures when I didn't follow this led to a whole ton of heartache I didn't need. - Threadripper is finicky. At least for my system. The memory I have doesn't play nicely and won't let me boot into windows if I clock it past 2133mhz. Odd problem to have, which I will test more later, but buyer beware of OCing memory. - Do not use DBAN to wipe your SSD. The method used to wipe HDD is vastly different from SSD, and it will kill the lifespan of it (or brick it if you're me. smile.) - Monitor thermals. CPU temps are key to figuring out system stability, as well as are indicative of any cooling problems you might have (obviously.) - Remember the pump in AIO systems. Even if your BIOS tells you that you have a running pump, be sure to actually open your rig and feel around, manually checking the tubes of your AIO cooler to make sure it's reaching equilibrium. If one tube is hotter than the other, you probably have a dead pump. That was my experience. Hopefully someone is able to use a part of it when troubleshooting their system and finds success from it. Learn from my mistakes so you can hopefully avoid them yourself, alleviating a potentially horrific week of franken-like experiments.

So i bought a brand new PC, Components-- MB: Gigabyte x399 designer ex CPU: tr1920x RAM: Corsair vengance 16gb 3000mhz PSU: Silverstone ST85 850Watt 80+ Platinum GPU: x2 Rtx2080 founders edition HDD: Seagate Ironwolf 4TB SSD: x2 Crucial Bx500 500gb, M2- Samsung 970 Pro 512 gb My Postcode is showing 16 then it switches very fast (in under a second) to FC, 64 and 3E. Can some one help me out with this? ^^ I would be very thankfull. ~Simon M.

Jason from the Netherlands coming in with a question. Should I upgrade my GPU to a 1080, 1080ti or go with a 1070ti in sli Use: main workstation, video and photo editing @1080p and occasionally in 4k. Also occasional gaming (very rare) in 1080p because I do not have 4k monitiors. and I also create content on youtube Case: thermaltake veiw 71 CPU: AMD threadripper 1920 12 corse 24 Threads CPU Fan: Nzxt Kraken X72 970 evo 500GB m.2 and 3 1tb SATA-III 2.5 blue western digital HDD 5400 RPM RAM: 32GB (8GBx4) DDR4 3000MHz Quad Channel Memory Motherboard: Asus rog strix x399-E Gaming Power: 850 Watts – by thermaltake GPU: asus rog strix 1070ti A8G

I have a pretty beefy rig that I've spent quite a bit of money on. I use it for games and for video editing Threadripper 1920x ROG Zenith Extreme 64gb Corsair dominator platinum ddr4 running @2666 EVGA XC Ultra gtx 2080ti Power is coming from an hx1000i a bunch of m.2's some ssd's and a few spinning drives I went over to gpu check to see what frame rates i should be getting on some of my games and it appears my setup is running at half or less the speed it should be. I don't know where the bottleneck could be or even where to start, so if there's anyone out there that can provide any help would be awesome.

Hey guys, a friend of mine and I started to build his Worksation today. Everything went fine, until the final assembly. Specs: Threadripper 1920X Asus Prime X399-A 64GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2666 Quad Kit 2x Gigabyte Vega 64 Corsair H150i Pro 1200 Watt Corsair HX1200 I installed the necessery parts (MB, RAM, CPU, Cooling) and plugged everything in and checked if everyting would start up (no monitor yet), everything went fine, fans moving, LEDs on etc. After the final assembly and proper cable management everything still went fine, but I couldn`t get a picture (no BIOS) and the DRAM-Debug-LED was on. I did some troublehooting with the RAMs and ended up in a bootloop, where everything lid up and started running for like five seconds (fans) and went off again, still no picture. I tried different RAMs and different slots, checked the PSU connection but no success. A CMOS clear wouldn't help also. When I dis- and reattached the CPU, the PSU appearently died, because after that, nothing would happen, except for the MB RBG-LED lighting up. I'll change the PSU as fast as I can, but IMO that doesn't explain the first problem. Since the PC is at my friends house, I currently can't get any pictures... Can anyone help me?

Good day everyone, I'm looking forward on building a somewhat futureproof (but with a good price/performance ratio) render machine that will be mainly used for 3Ds Max+VRay/Corona render work but also Photoshop, After Effects/Premiere and other multitasking software. No gaming in mind. The processor is my main concern as I am currently looking at a 2700x or a 1920x, where the price difference would be around 375 US dollars (for the whole system) in my country. Another option would be to wait for the soon to be announced Intel 9900k of which recent Cinebench leaks suggest it could come close or even beat the 12 core 1920x. The rest of the components would be the exact same, adapted for socket+cooling and I won't mention them here seeing as they are not targeted by this question. The 2700x and 1920x would also be interesting due to the long term support of the current platforms as I would probably be able to upgrade them in 2 years time and use them as render nodes with cheaper mainboards+lower RAM+no GPU. So, which would you pick and why? o you think (based on current leaks) that it would be worth to wait for the 9900k? Thank you in advance,

Im a high school kid who is pretty new to PC building (one system built so far) and i recently went all in and bought some stuff off ebay (incredible dealz). I bought a X399 Aorus Gaming 7 mobo ($200), threadripper 1920x ($437 Brand new never opened :0), 16gb corsair vengeance RGB ddr4 3000 ($160) , along with a 512gb nvme ssd and 1tb hdd (both of which i got for pretty cheap and do not remember the prices of), and a super basic AMD graphics card which i found lying around and am only using as a hdmi output for the time being. This PC is a labor of love for me and is causing me some problems. when i recived my mobo and CPU (the last pieces to arrive) i spent a little time putting it together and making sure that i followed instructions perfectly, however when i went to boot the system for the first time with everything connected i was met with a strange Boot Loop. The PC would light up for a split second (RGB goodness) but all the lights would soon flash off and the small error code light would flash multiple codes in quick succession (pretty much too fast to read) then all the fans would turn off. Currently i have the 24 pin and the 8 pin PSU cables from my 750w psu plugged in but i left the extra 4 pin plug unconnected because it is supposedly optional and only should be used for extreme overclocking. the small status LED for the CPU lights up when i power on the system indicating that the problem might be with the CPU, i have tried reseating the CPU multiple times and inspecting the socket for any damage (i found none) and even reseating the AIO cooler but to no avail, i ask you.. oH wise computer gods, pls help me figure out what is going on with my baby boi. with bated breath -Ceta

Hi guys/gals! I need some help, as this is my first "advanced" build. The part list can be seen here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/x9HCJ8 I have 2 questions: 1. The 1920x is advertised to support up to 128GB of ram, but I've seen a lot of videos where there's issues recognizing more than 32/64GB. Can you give me some advice on how to prevent that? 2. I need a total of 4 separate displays, I was thinking of getting 2 ultra wide screens, and just split them in half with the screen provided software. However I never attempted this, and was hoping one of you can tell me what to expect. For example: Could I run 2 separate games on the same ultrawide monitor with the screen split in half ? Or could I run a game and say...watch a movie, I think you see where I'm going by now. So far I only ordered the processor, case and the 1080 card is one that's on my current build, I'm just going to be re-using it on the new one. (Might even be tempted for double SLI at one point, but that's much further in the future). Looking forward to your feedback. Also, in response to everyone who's about to ask me why I'm getting 128 GB of ram:

I'm having problems with the temperatures on my Threadripper 1920x. As you can see on the pictures at idle it sits at around 41C. Under load it jumps up to 70C-80C... It is NOT overclocked and as you can see on my profile I have a EKWB PE 360 that is a CPU only loop... I've added more fans to the case to get better airflow but temps haven't changed much. If you have any questions and/or ideas please tell me.

So Im planning on building a ThreadRipper build soon: TR 1920x Aorus X399 Gaming 7 GTX 1080 AORUS Rev 2.0/Vega 64 (if it ever becomes available for a lower price in the near future.) 4x4GB Dominator Platinum 3000mhz 3x 7200rpm HDD's 3x SSD's My main Work on this will be Game Development, Gaming, Video Editing and some 3D rendering. Questions: 1: Can I temporarily use this build on a Corsair VS650 as this PSU has only one 8pin cpu connector? 2: How Does Ryzen perform on Unreal Engine 4? 3: How Does Ryzen/Vega vs Ryzen/1080 perform on Blender? 4: How Does Ryzen perform on Substance Painter/Designer? 5: How Does Ryzen perform on Visual Studio 15? 6: Are 2x8 pin CPU connecters absolutely required? Also Suggest a good compact ATX case for my build. PS. Id prefer if you have first hand experience of Ryzen/TR/Vega.
