Thanks OP for the associate's code. You saved me $42. 12G-P5-3967-KR (6/3/2021 8:14:13 AM PT) notify went out 9/1/2021.

Currently 39.59 at Humble for another 5hrs. Looking forward to trying this out.

I'm way to frugal to blow money for no benefit. I wasn't clear in the top post in that the threadripper system won't be totally scrapped. I'll use it to replace an ancient i3 2105 system that is so painfully slow I'm not sure why I have kept it this long. It's overkill for the applications...

Nice. C16 vs the C18 of the GSKILL at the same price. I guess they think all the RGB on the GSKILL is a fair trade for more latency. Gskill

I’m moving from a 1950x 1st gen threadripper to a 5900x on a x570 Asus Crosshair VIII hero. Would I be really gimping the system by trying to recycle my old ram 4x16gb at 3000MHz C15 compared to another kit like 2x32 gb 3600 C16 or 18? Seems like the performance difference might only be a few...

Yes. Tried the beta bios. The new bios they provided is E7B09AMS.1D7 I flashed the system with this one and then installed the 3080. No change. System wouldn't post. Dropped the old card back in, reset CMOS and am back in business. At least MSI is trying. I hope they have a plan B. I...

I updated the latest published beta bios settings to set: PCH Gen Switch from Auto to Gen 3. Then I needed to install the RTX 3080. To verify the card had been working I had just put it into my son's computer. Yes he was thrilled about the upgrade. I had left it in for two weeks. This was...

This is a good idea...and not something I have tried, but was wondering if continuing to leave it on auto was really a good idea in light of all the issues. Will try later tonight when I have time to pull apart the two computers. Fingers crossed (y) I have also submitted a support ticket with...

Yes- normally that wasn't plugged in, but I plugged it in once all the issues started with the 30-series cards

Does anyone know if MSI X399 gaming pro carbon AC motherboards and 1st gen threadrippers are compatible with NVIDIA 30 series GPU? So far I haven’t been able to get either a MSI 3090 or Asus 3080 to even post. The motherboard’s error code 00 shows up and a red led for the CPU lights up. System...

Any other updates on 1st gen threadrippers? 1950x is still going strong.

Thanks for the heads up. So how did you know the shuffle was about to start? This was the closest I have got to a new GPU, but of course came up short and got the "You Almost Got It" email. I'm getting ready to give up.

I think the performance is pretty good for 1950X. What is it barely ok in? For video there are applications that don't use all of its threads and on the gaming side even less of those threads are used.

There is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of Men for this treachery. The FCC chairman should know better.

In for another one. I haven't had any issues with the first one a got. Really good deal at $150

Nothing wrong with paper records. What good are your computers going to be after the EMP and the zombie apocalypse anyway.

Nice. I was wondering why my setup seemed so much "cooler". Guess I got lucky and Corsair had a flat cold plate out of the box. As you start overclocking, post your settings. I hit the wall trying to get past 3.8 GHz, but that is me not familiar with MSI/AMD bios settings and not wanting to...

Setup a 1950X last night. I didn't have any trouble installing win 8.1 on a 960 pro NVMe drive with the MSI carbon X399 board. In another thread it seemed like it might be an issue depending on what build Win 10 was being installed...no issues upgrading to Win 10. Will do a fresh install once...

I'm in too with the same MSI board and starting to put together the 1950X system tonight. The CPU box is ridiculously large standing at 1/3 the height of a full tower case! Thanks for the tip on the 960 pro! 91C on the VRMs seems a bit warm. I'll be interested to see how folks cool that off a...

Everything ready but the 1950x and MSI board from Amazon...guess I'll be waiting for a while. Looking forward to all the review action that should hit soon. Can't wait....

Thanks Kyle for all the information you have been posting. Not much information out there to help folks get ready to put together a threadripper system. I was concerned when I saw your image of the Thermaltake Floe Riing 360 AIO with the razor blade showing the lack of flatness. After...

Yes, but then sometimes, it feels like the right thing to do.... Just hope I don't bend the pins!

I'm not sure how the measurements line up, but wouldn't the heat sinks on existing coolers be gimped somewhat since they are so small relative to the TR4 heat spreader?

But where are the TR4 coolers for Threadripper?....that is a whole lot of chip to keep cool and nothing showing up yet.

Shhh NDA...Nothing to see or hear. Move along.

I hope AMD has been sampling something with an overly large TR4 socket.....

I'm in. My old Rampage III Extreme has been in service since release back in 2009 or there about. My son mostly uses it for gaming now. Picked up an X5670 on ebay for $31. Forgot that the i7-930 that it is replacing was 45 nm and the xenon is 32 nm. Going to be fun seeing what kind of OC I...

Nothing wrong with an old i7-930. I've had one in service since it was released and it has been very reliable. With a SSD and reasonable graphics card it doesn't have any issues with 1080p gaming at 60FPS. My son is very happy with it. People shouldn't look at old tech like it has no...

So how does this spread? If your company was already infected, but you never turned on your computer today...would the payload already be there? This thing is brutal.

Got my check yesterday for $60!

"His sister saw some of it...." Sounds like his sister gave him up.

But you can do all of that in camera when generating the JPEG.

Shooting in RAW is a pain because you still need to convert to other formats for everyone else. At least with RAW as has been said above there is more information in the picture and more chance that greater detail can be pulled out or noise removed. What does it hurt to shoot RAW?

Apparently Reuters is no longer interested in quality...

Corsair has great attention to detail with well thought out cases. Never skimp on drive bays in a full tower. A bay or two for an optical drive and fan controller should always be an option.

I'm with Vaulter98c on this. Right now it looks like my 2 970s are bringing in ~500k ppd. Back in the day I had 4 cpus and 5 gpus folding at one point and didn't even come close to this output. Back then I was hard core and OC'd the hell out of everything and kept it running 24x7 until it...

I got them working now. Not sure what was happening. Went in and set everything manually instead of the default -1 option.

Hi Guys-- Been a long time since I was folding. Just wanted to give it a go a little bit more. I have two GTX970s on a p8z77 pro mobo. I can get one GPU folding but when I try to get the other working it appears to be running both clients on the same GPU. Only one GPU is heating up...

Great reviews!
