Newegg has a combo deal for the Ryzen 1950X (16c/32t) + Gigabyte AORUS X399 Motherboard for $1,269.98 - $249.99 = $1,019.99.
This seems like a pretty good deal. I'm a bit concerned about those mobo reviews though. :unsure:

I hope this is in the right section. I don't post a lot, mostly a lurker.
So, after a long time on an FX 6300 I have the opportunity to upgrade (I'm very excited). For the last 5 months I've been reading everything I can get my hands on, watching endless YT vids (some of questionable...
I am sure many of you are familiar with the crazy-looking box that the AMD Threadripper CPUs are sold in. Radikult has paid homage to the packaging by building a custom reservoir that is very familiar. I have started the video below towards the end of the build so you can see the end result...

Greetings OCP-crew.
I've noticed that most of the Ryzen benchmarking seems to be focused on 16G configurations, which means you get to use the single-density sticks, which run DDR4-3200 (and higher) with some tweaking. However, using 16G sticks, pushes you into dual-density sticks, with even...
AMD Threadripper Gooseberry HEDT World Record
This was a Blender benchmark that I was not familiar with till yesterday, but after running it a few times and looking around the Net, I came away very impressed with our rendering time with Threadripper overclocked to 4GHz across all 16 cores...
I invested heavily in AMD some time ago (June 2015) and bought all new parts with the proceeds. I haven't had an AMD CPU since the Athlon and it was everything I wanted it to be going in. Not done with everything yet.

Custom DIY Mount for Threadripper Water Cooling - What do you do when you don't have the proper parts that you need to water cool your new thread ripper? Make you own with trash you find around the house. Maybe even repurpose and old water block that is in your closet.
AMD is now able to confirm they have reproduced the Ryzen "segmentation fault issue" and are working with affected customers. AMD characterize it as a performance marginality problem exclusive to certain workloads on Linux. The faults are found to occur with many, parallel compilation workloads...
Our longtime Mafia liaison Dave "the Clever" Altavilla, has his hands all over Alienware's new Threadripper system, the Area 51 Threadripper Edition. Being a "preview," it is light on benchmarks overall, but there are some there to take a gander at. Also it is good to hear that its AIO is up to...

AMD Ryzen Threadripper Unboxing and Install - We show you how "easily" the AMD Threadripper comes out of the box, and some hilarity ensues, and then we take you through the simple steps of Threadripper installation. I would consider this a PSA as well because I destroyed the socket on my TR4...
No doubt the AMD Threadripper package is cool looking and carries that Eye of Sauron feel, but I am not sure that all this extra engineering that went into the packaging was fully thought through. No rehearsals here. Still processing at the moment, should be HD in a minute.

I built a Ryzen 1700X-based PC about a month ago, and the only compatible cooler I could get locally was a CoolerMaster 212 EVO. The AM4 bracket it came with looked very much like an afterthought, was difficult to install, and forced me to install the cooler in the vertical orientation (see...
