Playing with Threadripper...

So, I was board today and thought, it's been a while since I tried pushing hardware. So far I have 4.1ghz all cores using Enermax 360 Rad for TR.
Specs are below

Windows 10 Pro Build 1803
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950x
16GB FlareX 3200mhz DDR4 CAS14
AMD Vega 56 STRIX
Asus Prime X399-A
Samsung 850 Pro 512GB

I hope, you like this little baby :) Enjoy it :) Im looking around for second gen now (2950X propably)

I'm looking forward to the 2950X. I really like it's boost clock!

So am I..., results anyways.
It looks good, not great for gaming, but probably close enough to make a decent rig.
Something I think that is finally worth upgrading to if you're still on a really old amd gen.

Looking forward to the benches if anyone here gets one.

2 things I don't like, the price, $2k is just too much, $1k and $500-600 would be fine.
And the wattage, 150w+.
A few more years though we'll be rocking amd again.
Not sure if I'm gonna go that route though, but I might buy it for my brother, just so I can mess with it plus he'll need an upgrade anyways from that old 1090t of mine.
I'm personally going to stick with intel.

I'm waiting for tigerlake, that's what I'm looking forward too.
The last gen that has all the main instruction sets, heard the 7nm after that will be dumping some.
It all depends on what still runs on that next gen.

I am looking forward to having 32 or 64 threads as a standard though, at least for high end.

Keep a close eye on the Enermax Liqtech TR4 cooler. I had it installed in a Thermaltake core x9 case so the motherboard is mounted flat. The Enermax sprung a leak which allowed the coolant to run down into motherboard. I disassembled everything and dried it out but my AsRock x399 will no longer post.

@theoldtimer ... That sucks...
Can you get a quick return on the mobo?
Or do you have to buy a new one..

I always pretested my loops for a bit outside a case..
I've only had aio so far..., I wouldn't wanna hose my parts..., the 280 I have makes sounds that freak me out sometimes, either an air bubble or something else, the NZXT Kraken X60 or whatever..
It should be ok if the rig was off, you just need to dry it for a few hours.

You can actually wash most parts with in a bath mixed with some simple green (or mean green if you don't have the other).
Then dry with towel, hair dryer/heat gun, and a fan.
Let set I think it was 4 hrs, not sure what it was anymore.
The issue is it gets water under the chips, caps and etc (socket...).
But once it's dry it's better then new..., except for the cap age of course, but they'll be fine.
(I'm not recommend you waste your time losing your warranty on this, I'm just explaining what can be done..)

Obviously you wanna discharge it before you do something like that.
You could probably do the same with phones for example, just not sure about the screen, and it's probably not going to be discharged so it would be screwed.

Anyways I think you should try to get an exchange on that mobo asap.
When going aio, I'de personally stick with corair, nzxt, and perhaps the ek aio setups.
Name brand...
Enermax is name brand in psu's...

I'm still waiting on the Enermax RMA. I'll let them replace it. The Enermax cooler worked great until it leaked.

I feel my Enermax TR4 360 AIO is underperforming, gonna check it again.

Mine has been running great and keeps the 1950x cool even under full load... Here's to hoping it doesn't leak! Though, I'll probably have a custom loop before long.

Finally upgraded from a 1055T Thuban to a 1950x! Found a used mobo + cpu combo for a pretty good price couldn't resist it. I want to join the fun :)

Cinebench at 4ghz. Memory are stock XMP profile running at 3200

Totally different! it's so freaking :shocked: awesome haha h
honestly i don't know what to do with all these cores but it sure feels good to have so many of them :D

Highest I can go so far is 4.05ghz at 1.38v but I am still undecided if I want to OC or not, it seems like it's just fine with stock + XFR, not to mention at 4ghz power consumption is 300w!

Some more cinebench at 4.05ghz

here's my temporary rig, still waiting for the right case for the big rad. i've grown tired of it hanging at the back

http://3800z24.info/Ryzen/TR1950x/AMD_TR_1950x.jpg

Tweaked a few things and got 4.135ghz and better CB score. Switched RAM to Trident-Z 3200mhz 32GB Quad Channel kit as well as using latest BIOS.

Man, nice builds guys! You need to come help out team XS crunch with all these new badass systems.

nice rig charged and nice CB score. i tried 4.1ghz but it just crashes and couldn't finish CB.
what vcore do you get during your cinebench run? it looks like 1.46v + LLC should be around +1.5v

so i raised vcore to 1.4v and was able to run CB at 4.1ghz :)

Whats the max temps for prime stable clocks on that beastly RAD.

I'm using A 5 HEATPIPE heatercore fanless/w built on block,and 2 tfc 360mm radiators fanless, browsing and youtube shows a ambient temp reading.

temps are still high despite the big rad. i don't think anything can cool this down at full stresst test and still keep it at 68c

ambient temps at 29c, short test only

https://i.imgur.com/Q6YDWLz.png

What kind of fans are those,core temp is higher than socket.:shocked:
Maybe a better block is needed or more volume of water,that monsta 420 should be good for 2kw.
A submersible will let you find out how much water is needed to drop temps.;)
4 liters should do the trick.If temp go pass threshold quicker than 5min you can always add more rad.
400MM res and 2x 280/40 rads look like they would fit. :up:

I just left the vcore on auto. it will ramp up as clocks go up. All my Ryzen rigs do that. Now, yes, I could fine tune the clock and vcore. But for quick benches, it hasn't been needed. I'm also not seeing very high temps so...

i'm still using old yateloon fans, they seem to be fine but perhaps its time to get some new high static pwm fans (Corsair ML140, Phanteks F140MP). though i have already ordered some cheap arctic pwm fans to replace the olds ones but we'll see if its good enough.

i think during the stress testing, cpu vcore was just too much that's why the heat was uncontrollable

that's nice! just change the multiplier and you're done. i wish i could do that with my mobo but i tried setting it to 4.0ghz and my pc just freezes on boot. only manual oc works

so i ran prime again to test the cooling capacity but this time i set the clocks to 3.9ghz 1.3v (previously 4.0ghz 1.4v)

first ten minutes, ambient is 29c (but i think it was around 26-27c)

https://i.imgur.com/siVuqO5.png



after one hour, ambient was a little cooler this time 24c

https://i.imgur.com/YiJIBoD.jpg



and idle after test

https://i.imgur.com/XBaXwZa.jpg

seems like with old fans are still fine, for now. once i add my gpu to the loop i need to have better fans

The cooling setup radiaotr is awesome huge :)!

I did only quick test with R15 few months ago as one of my many benchatble systems. Seems, Im lucky guy for Threadripper 1950X :)

i think i saw your youtube benchmark for this run! :) awesome CB score flanker, it's certainly unreachable for a lot of people. Cinbench is your specialty anyways :up:

some updates on my rig, updated with some RGB fans and strips. now my 1950x runs a lot cooler with all the rainbow haha
https://i.imgur.com/PyWXcqm.jpg

I'm thinking Tctl 68c and Tdie 80c Max for 24/7;)

I like your setup! Looks great!What model of radiator are you use? Maybe in future I will change AIO for real liquidcooling for daly setup :)

Im sure you got that in reverse. What temps are you getting prime test stable?

Thanks. Radiator is a TFC 420 Monsta 105mm thick. It was a limited edition and has stopped production a long time ago. Bought this from 2010 and taking good care of it since cant buy one anymore.

Looking forward to your water cooling setup soon :up:

:clap:

i have replaced the old fans from external radiator with some better ones now and added another a 280 rad internally. reseated cpu waterblock and used arcitc mx-4 thermal paste, tightened the screws a lot compared to before and also have included vega fe to the loop now.

1950x 4ghz 1.35v vcore, everything else auto

prime test small ffts 1 hour, it's a lot better now

Thanks. That run was with AC on though :D with normal ambient temps it will be a bit higher than that but i think overall its about 10c better than before. Reseating and tightening the cpu block was the major difference. Also running fans at 2000 vs 1200 rpm only manages about 2c difference so no point running full speed at all. At 1200, those silverstone FHP141 are really quiet and moves a lot of air.

Next revision is replacing the old 10w pump with a new one and maybe running ddc 3.2 in series and see if it makes sense

TR1950X@3,95GHz 1,185V with Noctua UH14S-TR4 with Noctua 15cm fans push-pull, Asrock X399 Taichi, 4x8GB DDR3600 CL16 GSkill TridentZ - Cinebench R15 - 3450cb:

I am waiting for Zen2 for the upgrade.

Some nice lookin rigs y'all got!

I just ditched my second Enermax cooler. Replaced the first one after 6 months, and the second one was already well on it's way out. Seems Enermax was using mixed metals in their closed loops without proper corrosion and bio inhibitors in the coolant. So they tend to build up corrosion and gunk in front of the heatfins on the waterblock blocking flow and eventually either taking the pump out, or causing over-pressure and leaks.

So I have finally went back to a custom loop setup. Have a 240 rad, 280 rad, and twin DDC pumps in series.
Bumped it up to 4.1GHz to play around with it a bit and test the custom loops cooling.

Currently have it set to 4+0 SMT = disabled, memory interleaving = channel
Specifically set this way for gaming in Star Citizen as I see better FPS and gets rid of multi-die latency issues for gaming.

When working with hyper-v or video decode/encoding I go back to 16c/32t settings.

How does she crunch? We could use some more team members on Distributing Computing projects. That CPU and GPU would do pretty good I bet :)

I have the same koolance dual ddc 3.2 setup, was thinking ddc heatsinks might give 2-3c back whatcha think.
remember i'm fanless on 3/360mm rads and 1 fan on the heater core/block combo.only 1 225w(oc)gpu in the loop.

While the DDC pumps can get luke warm (hot if you run them at 100% power) They really are not cooled or heated by the coolant loop. And with thick plastic being a bit of a thermal insulator, not sure you will see much if any difference in coolant temps unless you plan on running the loop at higher RPM? Probably be a bigger difference putting some noctua fans on the radiators and sound insulation in the case if you're going for ultra-quiet build.

They are @ 100
temps are better this way, just seeing if I could eliminate pump heat
3c goes a long way on a 90 degree day :D
