AMD showed new highend chipset named AMD X399, this is specially for HEDT segment of CPUs. Many, many years AMD was not active in this segment. But the RED team is back!! The socket is named TR4, its version of the same size socket for servers, for AMD Epyc processors. This socket/LGA is huge, inside we can count crazy 4096 pins!! But not all these pins are electricaly active (its my idea, why Epyc cant work inside TR4)
CPUs Ryzen Threadrippers will be relase in configurations up to 16C/32T this summer.
Great bonus of this platform are numbers of PCIe 3.0 lines inside the CPU, which it offers 64! CPU and this board has support of quadchannel RAM DDR4 up to capacity 128 GB (I heard, in theory, this CPU can working with more)
MOTHERBOARD
Rights near RAM DIMM slots we can see special slot named DIMM M.2 slot. This special feature you can know from Maximus IX Apex. Its great value for NVMe M.2. Besided Threadripper has direct lines to CPU for NVMe, so lower latency 🙂 Two 8-pins for CPU is needed for serious OC and specially for LN2, switchs to PCIe slots, voltage measuring points, buttons start+reset and more. Example front USB3.1
SATAs and also U.2 port
In same wawe as Rampage X299, there is dash board for information about frequency, temperatures, speed of fan etc...Nice bonus is special LAN card ROG Aerion 10GB/s
Integrated IO shield, buttons for CLR CMOS, BIOS Flashback, backlighting of audio outputs, USB3, USB3.1 and looking at the Wi-Fi! This Wi-Fi support last standard 802.11ad!
At the board are features for driving your fans, cooling, include wattercooling and of course, dont forget at RGB AURA/AURA Sync or 3D print supopor.
Im looking forward sooooo muuuuch and promise, LN2 OC results coming 🙂
video from Linus (ah, this is the guy who broked few pins in socket ,-D)
Well it is something different that is for sure:)
Had to reseat it cause I was unsure what screws holes got covered,
luckily it seems to be only the two on top and the two on bottom.
(Sorry about the image quality.)
First Image is how it looked after first try, rest is second.
This is one very impressive AIO.
The copper cold plate is almost smooth as EK cold plates.
The screws have springs similar to EK´s solution. EK´s solution is still better (much easier to get it right first time), but this is very close.
Default fans is actually really good (PWM mode with 2.6? (I think) sec delay - Silent fan curve).
Fire Strike Physics Score 32231 @4250 (7th at the moment)^^
