Threadripper 1950x but StockFish 8 with low KN/s?

[Damir]

Problem solved!

Thanks all for your help.

FYI - Threadripper must be in quad channel to provide full performance!

How many kN/s does your engine generate now ?

Depends a little but it's around 35'000 kn/s using Stockfish.
I did OC easily de 3.8 GHz the CPU and memory to 3200.
Could probably easily go to 4 GHz with the CPU but i prefer strong stability and reliability in the long run.

Following your comments, running AsmFish at first you got 16-18'000 kn/s, at second you got 33,000 kn/s and at last you got 35,000 kn/s.
I am interested that what you did between stage 1 (16-18,000 kn/s) and stage 2 (33,000 kn/s) ?
Based on your comments the enhancement attributed to doubling of memory is about 6% (33,00 kn/s -> 35,000 kn/s) only. This is a real value and it can be thank mainly to doubling the measure of memory and lesser to using four channel instead of two channel.

Bigler:
How do you put Threadripper into quad channel mode?

35.000KN/s with Stockfish

Try asmFish 2017-05-22 to see you get around this:

He bought two another 8 GB RAM, I think.
The controller circuit of motherboard switch to four channel mode with automated manner.

[Lion]

You just need 4 ram sticks.

And henceforward you use Windows 10 HOME...
As I know Home version of Windows 10 can utilize 8 cores only.
Because of this the Manual of your motherboard ordains to use Windows 10 PRO at least....

[Lion]

I think this is totally wrong.
I don't know for version 10 but believe it may be the same as for Windows 7.... that it would not run motherboards with 2 sockets. But I don't believe there is a real core limitation on 1 socket.

Anyhow, runs perfectly fine now my 16 cores.

You did not yet give answer to my question:
What did you do between stage 1 (16-18.000 kn/s) and
stage 2 (33,000 kn/s) ?
Only the doubled RAM and the using 4 channel does not explain the near doubled speed.
It is pity but detailed description about using cores of Windows 10 can not be found. But it can be known that Windows 10 Home utilize only one CPU.
So Home is not suitable to use at least UMA/NUMA behavior of CPU and motherboard.
Against this, Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise utilize two CPU too, so they more suitable for Threadripper than Windows 10 Home.
