As a side note: I purchased a 3960x this morning. The MB I'm looking at is the ASROCK TRX40 Creator. It has 3 NVMe slots and 4x PCIe Gen. 4 X16 slots. So it can support up to 4 GPU's of your choice!

I would want 3 NVMe internal drives for Win10; 7-man TBs; everything else. (No more HDDs in any personal computer systems.) Each NVMe drive uses 4x PCIe slots. 3x NVMe drives is 12x PCIe lanes, I'm not even sure if an AM4 motherboard would support so many NVMe SSDs. ASUS PRIME X570-PRO mobo: Expans...

Thanks to Zen, Dragon & Dann for the replies. Zen's 3950X build looks to be a value system for all the components. However, Giga got rather negative reviews on Amazon so I would be looking for a mid-level ASUS mobo if anyone has suggestions. So I would aim more for a mid-level 3950X build I would w...

One of Threadripper's primary advantages is 64x PCIe lanes. Granted, many of those are used for Ethernet / SATA / Sound / USB / NVMe / etc. etc., but most Threadripper MoBos offer 48x PCIe lanes of expansion (16+16+8+8). So a Threadripper build should be looking at 3x GPUs or 4x GPUs if you're thin...

You don't use 7 piece TBs, do you Ovy?

No giving the players hints! Besides, I don't think his hardware will handle them.

Approximate cost performance ratios for the R9 3900X, R9 3950X, Threadripper 3960X and Threadripper 3970X for a new build with a RTX2060 super and 64GB DDR4-3200 ram. The only specs that differ is the CPU, MB (AM4 vice TRX40), and power supply is larger for the two threadripper systems. Does not in...

It looks like AMD is about to deliver a little less than 20,000 R9 3950X's to the US market. Less than 10% of these appear to be spoken for. Theses should start becoming available sometime between the 4th and the 10th. If you want one of these you should be ready to pull the trigger. While this may ...

Ipman chess recorded the frequency for the threadripper tests. They are above stock frequency. So what? Ryzen chips are not bound by their advertised base clock frequency. They are bound by max current draw(2 different ones), max core voltage, power targets, thermal constraints and lastly their max...

Any way to get 256GB of RAM on those? I am clueless about hardware and when looking for dimms which are 32GB (so I could get 8x32) I only see some "dedicated" dies running at 2400Mhz (which seems kinda slow?). Did anyone made a TR build with 256GB of RAM already? CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 256GB (8 x 32...
