August 31, 20187 yr I am investigating updating my current dual CPU e5-2670 server to a ThreadRipper 2950X. Single core performance looks to be far superior on the TR 2950x over the 2670. Plus ill get more modern storage options. Use Case: 1. Windows VM for Blue Iris Server. Currently 3 core 6 thread, 8 gigs of ram 2. Windows VM for home automation server. Currently 2 core 4 thread, 4 gigs of ram 3. Windows VM, Home theater 1. GTX 1060 passed through. 3 core 6 thread. Some medium gaming and home theater via Plex 4. Windows VM, home theater 2. GTX 1060 passed through. 3 core 6 thread. Some medium gaming and home theater via Plex 5. pfSense with a 4 port NIC passed through. 300/20 connection Currently 9 data disks + 1 parity + 1 cache + 2 unassigned devices SSD's for VM storage and appdata + 1 data drive(WD purple) passed direct to blue iris server Dockers: Plex, sab, sonarr, radarr. 1x IBM Serveraid M1015 I have a few questions: 1. Anyone else looking to use this processor? Thoughts on it? 2. Recommended board for the setup. I am not seeing any good boards with extensive PCIe slows. 4x 16 slots and a couple x8 or so.... 3. TR1 CPU's and boards are stable now, when disabling Cstates?

Check out testdasi's recent build he just got a second-gen TR, so he might have some details you're looking for. 19 hours ago, NotYetRated said: 2. Recommended board for the setup.

I've been having pretty good luck with my board, PRIME X399-A, check out the URL in my signature for build details -- I've tried to highlight my experiences with the board/system. 19 hours ago, NotYetRated said: 3.

September 1, 20187 yr I am running a 1920x on X399 Asrock Tai Chi with latest bios 3.30. 32 gigs of 3600 mhz ram. No problems so far. Edited September 1, 20187 yr by Dazog
