ENTERPRISE

It is a fact that running a TR OC without WC is certainly not advisable. Without WC there is no way I could sustain a 4.1Ghz All core OC.

It's a chromium fork so it runs on Blink. :wink: Thanks ! I figured it me a part of the Chromium family. Will give it an install today and give it a whirl.

With 4 OC'd GPUs and the Threadripper OC'd to 4075 it can pull over 2000W. Even running everything with lower power limits, it can still hover around 1600W. I've never been comfortable running a PSU 24/7 right at the rated max output, especially on consumer boards where you don't have the ability to easily run multiple redundant PSUs. Running a pair of PSUs is even easier now since my current case (PC-O11 Dynamic) is built to house two PSUs. I haven't dome much gaming in CF since I was running a pair of 7970s, but all the games I play now run just fine for me on either a single vega64 or the VII. Back on topic. A bit of a Frankenstein bench rig, with a 980 KPE and a 7990, running on a Prime X370-Pro with an R7-1700. [ATTACH=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"small","data-attachmentid":2799}[/ATTACH] Ohh that is fair enough, I did not realize you were running 4x GPU's in that rig. It all makes sense now. I would do the same if I were in your shoes. That is a power hungry combo for sure though. While it is obvious 4xGPU's can pull a fair whack, the Threadrippers alone when OC'ed certainly can pull some watts when under load. Liking the bench rig btw. Aren't all bench rigs a little bit Frankenstein though

I have heard good things about Brave. I really should give it a test drive. Will be interested to see what engine it uses.

I am personally sticking with the 2990WX as it suffices for me on the workloads and gaming. Upgrading for me would just be to spend money for no real gain. Any reason you are running two PSU's or was it case you had two already and it is cheaper than buying a single super PSU ? Upgrading those Vegas would likely give you a nice boost. How is CF working out for you ? SLI as we know is hit and miss with support. My 2080Tis constantly beg for a proper spanking by a game with proper SLI support haha.

I think the key is to always remain cautious and say ''Our product is less hackable'' or ''We have taken steps to make it more secure'' as opposed to ''It is impervious to hacking''

Awesome ! Are you sticking with it or ''Upgrading'' to Gen 3 TR ? I use the term upgrading loosely.

@mllrkllr88 Considering the poor show from Asus the first and second round (especially the first round) with the Zenith line on the TR platform, I am not too surprised. The shame was that for the 1st gen TR's the ROG Zenith was a fantastic piece of hardware packed full of features and capabilities but the BIOS bugs let it down hugely. The memory and Nvme bugs were awful. OC stability was also an issue but we also put that down to the memory training bugs the board had. Seemingly every time they released a ''Fixed'' BIOS, something else would be broken. Famously the NVMe RAID got killed off in a new BIOS of theirs which did not do anyone any favors who already had an NVMe RAID array running, they either could not upgrade or did and found no more RAID array, oh dear ! Furthermore, having more than one utility that accessed the board to get statistical information such as AIDA64 as an example at any one time would yield in incorrect readings. The support was appalling from Asus and the only guy around to help was elmor, who did use to work with Asus but no longer. If it was not for him acting as a link between the community an Asus I would bet my life the BIOS would be worse off for it. Shame really as the company has a fantastic records for motherboards but they really dropped the ball on that product. You cannot even blame AMD as other companies such as GigaByte and Asrock were managing just fine. The Zenith ROG was a premium board with a premium price, I paid over £500 for it new and it was more expensive than any other board but I thought ''Its Asus'' so it was worth throwing money at right ? Wrong. Never had an issue with them on the Intel platform. Possibly my bad AMD experience is a one off...but still left a bad taste. In any case I actually created a rant thread on it HERE.

Good to see another TR brother. Which TR are you rocking in that system ? Oh and welcome bud, good to see you here !

Super banned for not doing the Podcast...my Monday blues will continue until next Monday :velo:

Ohhh nice. Give it a run for its money bud. Man, gotta love those pots !, Loving the RAM one.

Certainly sounds like a strange fan arrangement. But looks like a solid case for the money nonetheless, GPU length is such an important factor though, especially if you are having a front mounted RAD.In my case ''Be Quite Dark Base Pro 900 V2" once you have the RAD installed and then the RES in front of it, it really starts to vut down on the maximum length card you can get, luckily I manage to get my cards in with a little room to spare so it was not too much of a disaster haha. What will you be using the build for ? This is a pre-lim image of my recent completed build, well I say recent it has been built for over a year. AIO cooling on GPU's really adds to the clutter...but not too much you can do about it lol.

Nice thanks ! Will take a read.

I actually went for the MSI Meg at the time due to its strong VRM setup as I knew I would OC my 2990WX. Does a sterling job. Not having really looked at the Asrock boards I did not realise they managed to fit all that kit on the ATX standard. That is rather impressive ! Will give Asrock more of a consideration next time. I hear their BIOS support is good too.

I will do some more reading up on it. Is it a WW2 sub ?

Certainly a worthwhile cause, gotta save that history ! Oh and by the way, not your fault but the first link does not work for anyone in Europe due to GDPR lol.

Here we are. On first run got 7153, little lower the second time round. I can confirm this bench is single GPU only. Does not take advantage of SLI (Not surprised)

Cheers bud. Banning both of us for being :offtopic:

Source It is genuinely pleasing to see and AMD UCFF PC. Intel has been pumping these into the market like mad !

Welcome to EHW I don't think it is too ambitious to go with rigid tubing on your first attempt. I would advise purchasing a little more tubing than what you need so you can practice with it and get a feel for it, plus if anything goes wrong you have spare. Also be prepared for the extra time with it as it is a little more time consuming over soft tubing which you just cut to length as appropriate. There are plenty of guides out there but this is a short and sweet look at it : https://bit-tech.net/guides/modding/watercooling/water-cooling-with-hardline-tubing-guide-petg-and-acrylic/1/

Banned because I am still ill and nobody has used their crystal ball to find that out and wish me well !

That part wasn't actually meant to be in there lol I thought recording was over when I brought it up. Lol glad you forgot. One day I will get on the Podcast and charm you all with my britness....once im over my flu.

Nice, will give this a whirl. Looking at its supported API's I wonder if it supports SLI ? Time to go over to my gaming OS it give it a go I think !
