Hi, I have an AMD PRO 5965WX. It’s a long story, but I originally purchased an Asus WRX80 Creator 2.0 but soon after got a free Gigabyte WRX80-SU8-IMI. I can’t return either motherboard. Does anyone know which one is a better motherboard to use and which one to sell on eBay slight_smile: light_smile I already have 256GB (8x32gb) DDR4 3200Mhz ECC ram. I plan to run Proxmox and Unraid on this system. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! David

any of y'all running into issues with ASUS's WRX90E-SAGE SE mobo? i just built a new pc, and i've had nothing but problems, slow-downs, and extremely low (0.5GHz) clockspeeds with my wrx90e. windows 11 amd threadripper pro 7965wx kingston fury ram (256gb) asus rog thor platinum 1200w psu i do a lot of CAD/CFD sim work, and every couple of hours, all my cores go from 4.2 GHz to 0.5 GHz and stay there. task manager, my desktop, everything... it all turns into a 1 fps slideshow or takes forever to open/load. a job that was supposed to take ~80sec yesterday took over an hour! when i checked, all cores were stuck at 545MHz again. thermal throttling doesn't seem to be a problem either: the CPU never gets higher than 82-88*C under max load at 4.2GHz, but yet i've seen my CPU drop all cores down to 545 MHz even when i'm just browsing the web and core temps are 37-40*C. i've spent all week troubleshooting and a friend recommended posting here for help. i'm starting to regret buying this thing. feels like ASUS made a crappy motherboard.

I recently completed a build based on the ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI and an 7970X Threadripper. I am an Electrical Engineering grad student researcher and the computer lives on campus. Typically, if I am not on campus, I VPN in using my school provided laptop and run my actual code on the workstation. All of my machine learning stuff has to be run in Linux, but there are a couple programs that I use that are only offered on Windows, and I don't game much anymore but when I do it's definitely on Windows. Therefore, I am running a dual-boot setup on the workstation. My issue is that if I am not on campus I cannot reboot the computer into whichever OS I want. I know that the people have built/used Raspberry PI based KVM's to be able to reboot/control their workstations remotely. But does the ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI have some sort of similar functionality built in? I believe that ASUS offers an IPMI card that would allow this sort of functionality? If not, what are people doing in this scenario? Also before someone suggests it, I have tried WSL2 and the performance is not just quite there for training large ML models. I saw about a 20% performance hit and loading in the small sample data of my test program took about 50x as long.

Budget (including currency): NA Country: United Kingdom Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: CAD Design, Solidworks, Ansys FEA, Ansys Fluent. Heavy CAD models of minimum 10,000 components. Build Specifications: AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7945WX Processor NVIDIA® A4000, 16 GB GDDR6 Graphics 128 GB: 4 x 32 GB, DDR5 RAM 256 GB, M.2, PCIe NVMe BOOT Drive Two 512 GB, M.2, PCIe NVMe in RAID0 Two 1 TB, 7200 RPM, 3.5-inch, SATA, HDD in RAID0 Dont need RAID1 OR RAID10 as everything is backed-up on cloud. My question is for intensive CAD workload and moderate engineering simulations, should I go for a Threadripper PRO 7945WX or a Intel Xeon W7-3445. Thanks

In my quest to create my perfect Threadripper 7000 build I decided to create a spreadsheet that compares all of the available / announced motherboards. Rather than keeping it to myself, I'm releasing it to the public. Maybe it helps one of you... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aoi-Jm-r1ZbdNpQD22rnLxnPmF78v-wWXVt0uOmff5E

Hello LMG Forum community. I come to you today to help me select parts for a server I intend for an additional k8s node on my homelab setup. My existing setup is straight up my old gaming PC with a few add in PCIe cards for SATA/networking needs. First off, the requirements: - budget wise, I'd like to keep it under $2,500 since it's already a consequential budget. - I need mostly CPU and RAM availability. - Storage is not a concern, since my main node has about 50TB raw already, most of which is available (maybe 6TB taken total, and I have like 6 empty drive bays for additional storage if need be). - GPU not needed, I already have a GTX 1060 in my main node that I use for transcoding. - case has to be rack mountable, I am waiting for my rack to arrive, but it's 12U. My main node is taking up 3U of that, I intend to add in a 1U networking plate, and a 1U shelf for my switch - speaking of networking, my LAN is in a mix of 10G, 2.5G and 1G. 10G in SFP for my main node, 2.5G for my desktop PC, 1G for the rest. I still have an SFP 10G port on my switch which I'd like to use for my worker node. - Power consumption is a concern since it's a server at home, hence I'd like to keep it under 500W This will be a worker node in a 2-node kubernetes cluster, managed by kubeadm, both machines will run debian 12 and containerd for the container runtime (and runc of course). With those constraints laid out, I picked out these parts on pcpartpicker : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XHwXh3 It does include a Threadripper (high core count is desirable), lots of RAM, and the rest of the parts I chose to fill it in. Case is undecided yet, since I don't know good rack mounted ATX cases. The one I have for my main node works fine, but it's not great either. I mostly picked it for the ample amount of 3.5" bays. I also plan on migrating my transcoding GPU to that new node, so that I free up an extra 2 bays for drives in my main node. So if anybody can recommend cases I can look at (in the 3U to 4U range) or recommend things I have not thought of. Thanks in advance

Hi guys, I know the title sounds paradoxical in its face. But indeed, I would appreciate recommendations for CPUs that have low idling energy usage (~20-50W max) while having superior or at least comparable multithread performance compared to a 14900K and preferably also higher maximum RAM support. I don't mind the energy consumption when its under load (it can hit 600W for all I care), but what I am looking for is a CPU with low idle power draw. In fact, the 13900k/14900k themselves are good examples of CPUs that might fit this criteria - the power draw of my 13900k could be as low as 20W at idle, but their multicore performance is great (albeit the power draw under load is pretty high - but that's okay). Alas, I require a CPU which is more powerful and/or supports more RAM than the 13900k. Budget is not an issue. Honestly I was thinking of getting the Threadripper 7980x, if not for the fact that I read that its idling power draw is ~150W. Server CPUs are fine too. Alternatively, is there a way to play with the (bios) setting of the Threadripper to lower its idling power usage to <50W while maintaining its peak performance? Thanks so much!

Threadripper upended the HEDT market when it released, but now it seems the more expensive Threadripper PRO is here to take over. Is AMD making a mistake, or is enthusiast HEDT simply obsolete?

Hey All, So I've been dealing with an issue for about the last year where my PC would crash under heavy CPU and GPU loads consistently, and sometimes in games. My specs are: Threadripper 3960x EVGA RTX 3080ti FTW3 64GB DDR4 3200 (8x8) and a bunch of NVMe Drives and SSDs Anyway, when I put in the 3080ti I swapped out my 850W EVGA GT for 1000W EVGA GT. The reason I upped the power supply is because my computer started crashing under load. No blue screen or anything, just a no signal on my monitor until i either force shut down or if I left it alone for long enough, it would restart eventually. Swapping to the 1000W seemed to have helped for a while, but every now and then, I would get the same no signal issue. Since I had just swapped out the PSU, I decided to RMA my GPU... It would behave for a while, then eventually start happening again. It's inconsistent in games, but I can almost make it happen every time by running FurMark and Cinebench R23 on a loop. Exhausting all my warranties, I RMA'd my RAM, same thing. I'm currently waiting on an RMA for the PSU, which I'm almost positive won't help, but hey, that's what warranties are for, right? Anyway, after I install the replacement PSU, my next move is going to be upgrading my Power Supply. What it looks like is happening is something is spiking and pulling my power usage up from around 830W up to around 1000W before the crash. I have my system connected to a UPS so it shows me the power it's pulling as it cycles through it's display. Everytime it crashes its up near 1000W when I last see it. I like EVGA and am intrigued by the 1000G FTW because of it's ability to provide 2.5x it's rated power for short durations and it's ATX 3.0, but at the same time it's only 1000W. Which leads me to the 1300W GT, but with my experience with the last two GT models, maybe I should look elsewhere. I'd like to go ATX 3.0 for when I eventually upgrade my GPU, but not really sure which way to go. Is the NZXT C1200 any good? Should I go for a 1300W Seasonic? Do any PSU Models have integration with software to see how much each rail is providing and total power usage? Really looking for recommendations of PSU's people have used/are using and the pros/cons of them. The C1200 and the GT 1300 are attractive because they're around $250, but maybe its worth paying a bit more for some bells and whistles? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! -Gin

I have an Asus WS WRX80E-sage se motherboard in a Fractal Torrent case, and just got a new Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3 cpu fan. But I can't really figure out how best to setup the airflow, since the Noctua has to be oriented horizontally (blowing up/down rather than front/back), and the Torrent case has a top-mounted PSU. Any suggestions on how to layout the airflow for this? My current setup is 2x 180mm front fans and 3x 140mm bottom fans, all pulling in with no exhaust fan. But I can easily change all this around if needed.

Remote Host multiple OS on the same system I have an old Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX with 128GB Ram, this was an old decommissioned server I'm repurposing it. The thing is i want to host (local network only) a multiple vm or OS ( like Linux, windows (multiple versions) on this system Which or what method i should take like software or a specific OS? Thanks in Advance

Hello all, I have a 3 year old system running a Threadripper 3960x on a Gigabyte Aorus Master TRX40 motherboard (detailed specs below). It's been running great for me up until last week where I had left it idle sitting on the windows desktop and came back a couple hours later to it having shutdown. When I tried booting it back up it would power on but get stuck on the POST error code 9C (I have debug leds on the motherboard). The display does light up but is stuck on the motherboard splash screen and even though it shows the "press del to enter bios" etc messages my keyboard input does nothing no matter how angrily I mash the keys. I looked up the error code in the manual and it says that this is a "Detect and install all currently connected USB devices" code. What I have tried so far: Removed all non-essential items from the motherboard, disconnected all external peripherals, onboard headers, nvme and ssd. Single stick of RAM Different lower clocked single stick of RAM Swapped GPUs Different power supply But still no luck, any help of advise is appreciated, this is an expensive system that I use for a work and would rather not have to replace it.

Hello, back in about April of last year I swapped my Intel 7820x for a threadripper 3960x. In October I switched to liquid cooling for the cpu. I held off on the gpu since I knew I was going to upgrade. I finally managed to get my hands on a 3090 FE from Best Buy. I'm looking to add it to the liquid cooling loop I have. Currently it's all Corsair equipment. I have an XD5 pump/reservoir combo. I also have a XC9 block for the cpu. I use 5 140mm ML Pro fans with 3 120 ML Pro fans. Currently I have one 360mm XR5 radiator. I was planning on adding a second radiator, a 280mm XR5 when I add the 3090. I'm new to liquid cooling. I can put together the loop and stuff but I don't know much about the specifics of selecting parts for cooling capacity. Do you think this would be enough cooling capacity for a 3090 FE and a 3960x without overclocking? What about with overclocking? I don't really like going through the overclocking malarky, I'm really just using the system for gaming, my A.I. projects for college, and managing a slew of virtual machines for classes and certifications. Also, here's a photo of my current build. I'm using the mystic fog coolant. Ignore the 1060, I was a dingus and sold my 2080 expecting there to be more stock of the 30 series cards.

My CPU is overheating even if it is not overclocked. The peak temperature limit for my CPU is 68 degrees. Still it gets upto 72-74 degrees even at just 86% CPU usage. Even my side panel is open . According to toms hardware the max temps at 4.1ghz it should be around 58 degrees with Noctua cooler at full load . My CPU reaches 72 degrees at just 86% usage . Also my fan speed is at full speed 1200rpm . Specifications : - CPU - Threadripper 1900x 8 core CPU cooler - Noctua NH U14s (Single fan) Motherboard - MSI x399 SLI PLUS

Hi there folks, I'm an animator for a YouTube channel and deadlines are coming up on me quick. I'm totally stumped as to why my new build isn't preforming well and crashing. Here's the specs: CPU: AMD Threadripper 2950x 16 Core MoBo: x399 Taichi (Bios v3.9) RAM: 64GB G.SKILL TridentZ Series 3200mhz (8GBx8) GPU: RTX 3090 Founders Edition PSU: CORSAIR - RM Series 750W Storage: 2x M.2 1TB SSD's The problem: I edit/render in Adobe After after effects. Renders (with no OC of any type) can take over 20-40 hours for a moderately complex video. I've rendered identical projects faster on my previous build with a Ryzen 5 3600. So in efforts to speed up renders I looked to overclock - I initially tried the XMP 2.0 profile without any additional tweaks, and if I was even able to boot up the PC would BSOD when a render began. I thought maybe it was a voltage issue, so I went back, set my RAM speed to 3200mhz, and voltage to OC Mode and the PC wont boot. I tried some manual OC with Ryzen Master with essentially little to no difference in performance. Currently im running with no OC at all, and it says my RAM is at 1064mhz... I'm by no means an expert at this, but my gut tells me that's not right. Anyone, help plz?

Hi Guys... When Will The Threadripper 5000 series gonna come out? Will It Be Better Than Ryzen 5000 series and current Threadripper series Or Will It Be Of Similar Performance?

Hi all, Im looking for some help on overclocking my threadripper 1950x system memory. Ill post relevant screen shot information on what i'm currently using and my parts list but any help would be greatly appreciated!! When i downloaded this gigabyte eassy tune application it only allows me to make changes to my system in this application. Inside my BIOS all voltages and other options are not able to be changed. CPU- Threadripper 1950x MOBO- Gigabyte Designare x399 Memory- (please dont judge me) 2x16gb gskill aegis & 4x8gb Gskill Trident RGB PSU- Corsair RM 750x

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.

I'm looking at used threadripper chips on eBay and noticing a lot of "made in china" on them (titles as well as on the chips themselves). Normally, I'd use that as a red flag to stay away for a higher end item but the whole "let's pretend Taiwan isn't it's own country" thing came to mind and now I gotta know the truth. Is this political BS (China forcing the international community to treat Taiwan as something it isn't, a Chinese province, and that ending up on the actual dies themselves as "made in China") or is this seller BS (a seller selling knockoff goods). Anyone know the answer to this one?

I've this configuration. AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 2990WX Processor 128 GB RAM - DDR4 3200Mhz CL16 8TB NVMe SSD's (4TB x 2) Was looking to rent it out online but didnt get anything solid, is there a way i can make passive income by renting it out? I've a 300mbps fiber internet connection and this pc can be online 24x7x365 as I've good power and good internet, kindly drop me your suggestions.

Hello All, where do you recommend installing windows? on the ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Card? or on the motherboard's nvme itself? I need really fast editing machine that can handle 8K footage easily, that's why I need RAID 0

PC Specs: -ROG ZENITH EXTREME -AMD RYzen Threadripper 2950x -8x8GBCrutial DDR4-3200 RAM -1200W Thermaltake PSU -Radeon 6900x Ok so for a week or two, I've been tasked with finishing a pc that my boss started building over three months ago. All the parts were here and he had problems with it POSTing before I got my hand on it and at this point, we have bought a new PSU, RAM, CPU, and MoBo. Right now I'm looking at it and the MoBo RGB lights are on but none of the error LEDs are. I know PSU works and is plugged in to everything that needs it. Not sure if the graohics card works but nothing has made me doubt it and I tried a 1080 and it didn't solve anything. RAM I know is seated properly and I've tried every possible slot combo. CPU is right out of the box but also its an old threadripper. I've tried to do everything i can but the only sign of life it's giving is the MoBo RGB when i give it power. Nothing happening when i hit the on board power button or shorting the power switch. Any advise would be greatly appreciated

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.
