Budget (including currency): 700 British pounds Country: UK Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Building Android 13 for Work and playing Fortnite. Other details : Motherboard: Gigabyte TRX40 AORUS MASTER To build code, more cores are better. So, I have a Threadripper 3970X with 64 cores and 64GB of RAM. I invested a lot of money in my build to spend less time waiting when building code. I know it's overkill for gaming, but it's more about work than gaming. If I try to build Android 13 with 64 cores, it crashes because of insufficient memory. I think it requires 2GB of RAM for each CPU. If I build 16 cores, it uses about 32 GB of RAM and works fine. Now, I am looking to increase my memory RAM. I tried that before with CMT64GX4M4Z3600C16, but my system crashed a lot, and I returned to my CMK64GX4M4C3200C16. So it seems Threadripper is very picky regarding ddr4 3600 or higher speeds. Questions: Why CMK256GX4M8D3600C18 is much more expensive than 2 x CMK128GX4M4D3600C18? It's the same memory. It's not 30% more, it's 300% more! Can anyone with Threadripper experience comment about a memory that works? Should I get 3200Hz or 3600Hz for Threadripper 3970X? Thanks Lucas

TL;DR: I bought a bunch of new stuff for Black Friday and I am trying to decide if there is any value in upgrading my old homelab with some of these old parts, or using my new parts (in combination with a few older ones) to build a homelab with a dedicated gaming VM. ### Old NAS (Dell R510) - Dell R510 - Dual x5675 cpu (12 core / 24 thread total) - 64GB DDR3 RAM - No GPU - 4 x 12TB WD Red | 1 x 8TB Red | 1 x 3TB WD White (shucked) ### Old PC - i7 8700k - 2 x 1080Ti - 16GB DDR4 RAM ### Random Parts I somehow have - THREADRIPPER 1950X ### New PC - 14900K - 4080 - 64GB DDR5 RAM --- OK, now that all of the above is out of the way, my homelab is currently running unraid and I use it for essentially a personal cloud, media management, and running a few docker containers (iot device orchestration, databases for some side software dev projects, etc.) The **IDEAL** situation would be to have my PC live in the basement, and have a few thin clients throughout the house, that can run games and such off of the server. This would hopefully also mean I could have thin clients in other homes and VPN/Remote/whatever back to the base server, and could then play my steam games remotely. **NOTE:** I am well aware of latency issues with this approach, but I dont play competitive FPS games. Much more of a couch RPG gamer. My questions are: - Does anyone think the ideal approach above is worth it? Any major issues I am missing? - If not the ideal approach, any opinions on which pieces from old PCs can be used in upgrading the homelab? - I plan on buying a 4U case to host everything and give ample upgrade space in the future - Im between threadripper vs 8700 for CPU - Is there any value in adding in either one or both of the 1080TIs? Im not sure what I could possibly use them for other than plex encoding (Im not a crypto guy so not likely to mine) As a total aside, I know this is likely overkill for anything I am actually doing with the server. Im totally open to ideas of other things I could be running to use the resources. I work in tech, but on the software dev side, not IT. -
Hello, this is my first post, I would like to get help in a built used for Storage/NAS/Transcoding Media files: CPU: Threadripper PRO 5995WX Motherboard: Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI II RAM: 8x32GB 3200 DDR4 GPU: 2xRTX4090 OS: Linux OS NVMe: 2x2TB (Maybe Samsung 980PRO not sure yet) to be in Raid1 for redundancy. Media Pool Drives: 100TB (10x10TB HDD enterprise for NAS level) to be configured in Raid 5 for data protection. Extra NVMe or SATA SSD: 2x1TB to be used as cache acceleration (read/write) for all the HDD above. Extra SATA SSD: 2x1TB to be used as cache for general purpose/temp workflow (not associated with any other storage - free use storage). Case: I've found a rackmount case that is good for the build and can host all of the mentioned drives. Network: I will be adding network card maybe Broadcom with 2x10Gb/s ethernet ports. Questions: 1- What kind of Raid/Storage controller would be good for this build? Single Controller or multiple ones? 2- Based on the controller, how do I connect the storage? buy a disk shelf? what is a good choice of that? 3- how do I connect that storage shelf to the server? I am asking because I've read that it is not a good idea to run raid on the motherboard for critical workflow, plus the motherboard does not has enough ports to support all the media. Plus, I would like to maintain the option of future expandability for the storage. -
Hey everyone, I built my first PC and immediately ran into a problem. I animate for a YouTube channel and the videos can get pretty big (decent amount of VFX), so I decided to upgrade from my previous rig to better support my workload, specs for my new PC below: CPU: Ryzen Threadripper 2950x 16 Core Motherboard: ASRock x399 Taichi Ram: 32GB 3200mhz GPU: GTX 1660 Super Storage: Two 1TB M.2 SSD's + 1 External HDD PSU: 850W In attempts to render in After Effects, Media Encoder and Premier, I was getting better render speeds on my old Ryzen 5 3600. The renders estimated completion endlessly shoots up to 50hrs+. I've done equally complex videos on a weaker build and got better performance, kinda tearing my hair out at this point since deadlines are coming up. I've tried overclocking but to no effect, tweaking which codec I export, etc... Feels like I've tried everything. I even used programs like Renderboss and Render Garden and got a small boost from it. I've tested UserBench and Cinebench and got good scores, but when it comes time to render a video I get nowhere. Anyone have any idea why my PC renders so slow?

Hi! I need some help. I would like to build a watercooled PC. I already got the components, which are as follows: -dual MSI SuprimX 3090 -Threadripper 3970x -Zenith II Alpha Extreme -Corsair AX1600i -G.Skill Trident Z Neo 256GB 3600 Now, I don't know which house to pick. I like the design of the Lian Li O11D family, but confused about EVO or XL. EVO would be better, since I have more space on the left side of my desk, but the XL would be better for cooling overall, as I am told. My question is: with this configuration, components, would the O11D EVO be able to cool down the GPUs and CPU sufficiently? Mind you, I would like to use it as a mine when not rendering, editing or running bioinformatic softwares. Would I face overheating issues? What radiators could fit best in a case like this? I saw that the EVO can support really thick radiators on the side and on top, but I am cinserned about the bottom radiator, since there are two 3090s taking space from it, reducing its thickness. Can it be done? How loud would it be? How cool could it get, and how noisy would it be? The two cards consume around 780-800W when mining. Plus the Threadripper, is that a 1000-1100 TDP? Detailed answers or any help would be much appriciated! THank you! -
Hello, I bought corsair vengeance rgb pro 256gb 3200MHz along with ROG Zenith II Extreme Alpha and threadripper 3970X, I know that this 256GB corsair is not listed on the QVL list for this motherboard, but I had to buy it because the other RAMs were out of stock. do you think is it an issue? if it is not on the QVL? I contacted Asus and they told me it is better to buy RAMs listed on the QVL; do you think is it really an issue? Honestly sometimes I feel like adobe after effects is a bit slow to navigate into my timeline comparing to my alienware laptop with 32gb ram 2666mhz and i9-9900K and 2080 also when I turn on the [D.O.C.P] in AiTweaker to boost it to 3200Mhz windows sometimes get BOSD please any suggestion to my issue? -

So I have my Threadripper 2920x build with 32GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200MHz however at stock it runs at 2133MHz which i understood is the base speed for this type of memory (indicated speed is what its know to run ok at) however if I try to set a higher speed (even slight) I get failed boots, reboot cycles or general system unreliability. I don’t see any issue with the memory at stock speeds and system has ran fine for months. I’m unsure whether to just leave it at stock, attempt to clock things higher or diagnose more to see if there is a hardware fault. Any help would be appreciated.

I have an existing computer with a 2990WX. I have a samsung nvme m.2 ssd and I heard that pairing that with a 3990X is not a good idea as there are some complications. Is this true? and what are the reasons why. Can I even use an ssd with the 3990X ?

I was wondering if the new Ryzen TR 3990x would be good for rendering high quality images and 3D rendering in general. Right now I have a TR 2990WX and a 2080 but since it's my job basically, I want to upgrade to get shorter render times. The 3990x is pretty much within my budget. Would a better GPU affect anything? The software I currently use is Autodesk Maya 2019.

on the gigabyte pro x399 motherboared they is 1 8 pin and 1 4 pin are both required for the system to work i wont be doing any overclocking the reason i am asking this is because i have a pretty much brand new thermaltake 700w psu. thanks. -
Hi guys! I have proposal for you about testing AMD ThreadRIPer (3960X, 3970X and 3990X) with work production render which uses in rendering VFX for movies, animation and so on- Arnold renderer. here link to 7zip archive with simple shaded scene without texture with last core of Arnold. https://drive.google.com/open?id=17_4HD3trD4RVH9QkHTsBf9R1On5RiwGC you need to unzip and run interior_CPU_test.cmd. Next, please make during rendering screenshots Task Manager with any program like HWiNFO64 or CPUz which shows max clock speed and core usage. After finishing rendering send me the number of render time and screenshots and spec of computer (Motherboard, CPU, Memory with timings). Thank you for any helps to the understanding of scaling number CPU cores and the need to buy a particular processor for CG artist like me ? -
Pretty insane news; Asrock worked with an overclocker called SPLAVE to overclock the 3990x to 5.748 GHz, in addition to breaking other records. SPLAVEs hwbot profile: https://hwbot.org/user/splave/ Original source: https://www.overclock3d.net/news/cpu_mainboard/asrock_claims_5_world_records_with_its_trx40_taichi_and_amd_s_ryzen_threadripper_3990x/1 What makes this interesting is that, since the 3990x is supposed to be using the messed binned chiplets that AMD makes, and that trx40 has some of the highest available power budget, is that this could become THE single socket overclocking platform. -
Hello i am planning a workstation build on a fairly limited budget, about 1100 dollars to be precise. It will be used for machine learning, compiling programs and general thinkering I'm a hobbyist when it comes to Machine learning, currently i am designing my own network, and tinkering with other networks on GitHub. but there is a slight problem. my current main computer, an asus ux360ua with integrated graphics anda corei7 6500U, does not like when i test algorithms on it. so i decided it was time for an upgrade and i wonder, what problems could i run into with this build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Vr3Dhy surely some bottle necking must occur when pairing a 300 dollar cpu and 200 dollar mobo with a 100 dollar gpu? will it be severe enough to cause a problems? let me know many thanks

Budget (including currency): Around 5,000 USD Country: Mexico Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Bioinformatics software, R Bioconductor, Illumina RNA-Seq, STAR Aligner, samtools, etc. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Im helping my brother who just finished his Phd on bioinformatics and will most probably be working as freelance when his university grant ends next this year. I want to help him build a good PC so he can do work. lucky he has some freelance jobs lined up so I believe it would be a good investment to get something good. I have in mind a Threadripper 3970X altrought I would probably wait to see what comes out on the Zen 3 presentation. I have a doubt regarding RAM I know that he needs quite a bit of RAM but I was wondering regarding the usage of getting ECC UDIMMs instead of regular RAM. His currently lab computer form the university is a Mac Pro circa 2012 with dual 6-cores Xeons, so I guess the Threadripper would wipe the floor with this. Any thougts or suggestions, I have never build a Threadripper nor used ECC Ram Thanks

My PC has been blue screening constantly and I don't know why. I've had it for a year and it hasn't been this bad. Also sometimes while using a certain program it hard freezes and I have to unplug it to unfreeze and reboot it. Specs. Starting to think I have something faulty.

Dear Linustips team, I got my dream laptop for data analysis by OriginPC, EON-X 15 AMD Ryzen 3950X 64GB DDR4 3200Mhz RTX 2070. OriginPC added GELID GC extreme to both CPU and GPU (for a fee). However, the laptop was suffering from thermal throttling and I had to disable throttling through a group policy and through power settings on Windows 10 pro. Now the laptop runs at 3.8-4.0 Ghz and the performance is great. The problem is that now the fans are blowing so loud (at 80%+) and the speakers are good for nothing. I got a KLM laptop fan pad to get the temps down from 80's C to 70's C for CPU, and from 50's to 40's C for GPU. Still, the fans blow really loud. Is it worth applying liquid metal thermal paste to this rig?

So i found this article about a laptop with an AMD Threadripper inside and there is actually something like this out there. https://www.mediaworkstations.net/systems/portable-amd-workstations/a-xp/ Its basically a PC in a suitcase but you can get up to 2 Titan RTX in this build for under 30k which is kinda awesome considering the price of the Mac Pro. Although i have no idea under what circumstanes you would need a portable Threadripper build, its cool to see that it even exists... maybe they can do a video about it...jk.....unless
