Re: RYZEN Threadripper 2990WX 32-Core

Thanks folks. My dual 5670's are long in tooth and having issues. Not sure its the mother board or PSU but thinking its time to build another rig and retire the old beast. Anyone know the difference between v1 and v2 thread ripper? V1 price drop looks temping.

Try here: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/ryzen_threadripper#1900-Series_.28Zen.29

From what I see, basically more cache, less base clock speed, higher turbo clock speed, more threads, a couple of fancy CPU features.

Re: RYZEN Threadripper 2990WX 32-Core

You folks with any thread ripper processors having heat issues? Looking at the newegg feedback on these chips seem to point to heat issues. thanks


The 2990WX I am having some heat issues with yes (triple fan setup). Tried Precision Boost Override with a negative voltage offset to let the CPU and Motherboard decide for themselves how high it can clock, and that worked okay, but right now I am running 3.3GHz on all cores at 1.03Vcore I believe. CPU runs a bit hot (68 - 78 degrees Tdie (not Tctl)). But, that's because summer is here and it gets really hot inside. Ambient is 26-28 on sunny days now . In june-august if it gets really hot outside then ambient will be 31 or so. Chassis is the ThermalTake Level 10 GT Snow.

All temperatures in Celcius.

It's a really nice CPU though, hard not to fall in love with it and it would have so much more to give with better cooling. Thinking of getting the Cooler Master H500M (Mesh) chassis as it has received good reviews.

Are you currently located in Swedeen? I thought it was cooler there ! :)
Now, we are below 20ºC in Madrid, sure, it is not normal either ;)

When comparing a 1950x to a 2950x, there doesn't seem to be a huge difference in anything but price. 2950x is a little faster across the board, but tdp is the same, cores are the same. You could score a great deal on a 1950x, use it for a few years, then upgrade to TR3 and skip TR2. If you have the money though, the 2990WX sure is pretty...

I expect it will likely drop lower once the TR3 is announced. Which should be soon from all the rumors floating around. I am more excited about Ryzen 3000 series. I have a 1700 currently, so I could update my BIOS, pop out that 1700, and put in a 3000 series if I wanted to. I'm glad they are sticking with AM4 socket. I think TR is also supposed to be same socket across TR1, 2, and 3.

Yep, in Sweden :)
Last week has been 17-21 degrees C outside, but my apartment gets really hot from the sun shining in and onto the concrete. With my chrunchers running I'm getting 28 C inside during the days currently. Even during winter with no radiators turned on I get about 22-24 C inside, so the crunchers are indeed doing what they can to heat things up :)

Maybe just run at 75% through summer if it gets too warm. Then when winter comes back around it will make a nice supplemental heater smile


Yes, maybe that's what I will have to do once temperatures start rising even more outside - first summer with the 2990WX so that should be interesting. I am looking into changing chassis to the Cooler Master H500M, which is not my first choice based on looks alone, but it has been reviewed very positively by GamersNexus (they have a great YouTube channel) in terms of both CPU and GPU thermals.
