can my corsair 850w ax gold keep up?
I will have like 4 2.5 ssd, one 3.5 mechanical hdd, 3 nvme hdd, 6 140mm case fans and a 2080 ti card all attached
Soldato
cheers thanks

New chip soon then?! TR 3995WX PRO
https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-threadripper-pro-3995wx-spotted-could-launch-next-week
Edit: 8 channel memory, 2TB memory limit, new socket?
Edit2: obviously new socket if 8 channel (though still Sp3 but must be different pin out)

Darn it.i just got the 3960 threadripper

Well that's still awesome - and a lot cheaper than this thing is gonna be!Darn it.i just got the 3960 threadripper
I'm clinging onto my 1950x until 4th gen TR is released, though I'd love more RAM right now

Some Epyc chips and boards are cheaper than the current gen TR - so I don't see any reason why they couldn't do this. Intel offer HCC fast parts with larger memory limits than current TR for workstations - and 256GB of RAM is probably a bit of a low limit when you can have 64 cores anyway
To be honest 256GB of RAM for my purposes is pushing it a little bit. Given the amount of cores I have (24) I could easily run a lab that would consume another 100GB or so.
Part of me has thought about buying a 2U server with an EPYC chip and downsizing the desktop but it's just expense for expenses sake.

What do you need 256gb ram for? I use 64gb atm but will upgrade it to 128 next month pay day
Lots of VMs.
They've rotated the CPU socket. Might that cause cooler issues?

heheBecause I don't have lots of money, I spent it all on the 3960X.
Is this the highest you have spent on a cpu? it is for me
The closest was a 5960X, I can't remember what I paid for that but it wasn't cheap.hehe

I'm having this same problem at the mo - though on a 1950x and 64gb RAM. Some stuff like big mysql dbs (relative to vm memory) I've been able to use faster storage to reduce memory footprint - but it's not ideal and you can only do it for certain types of things.
My plan is build a few smaller Ryzen machines to supplement the main box, so far I've built 1 compact machine from spares and clearance/second hand bits (Ryzen 1700, 32gb ram) - but unless you can get bits cheap it's better value to get a single bigger box I find.

ummm so maube its cheaper to have it all in one box with 256gm ram or more ??
I initially assumed it was intended for an xU server case with the associated high speed front-mounted fans. It's a workstation board though, so it seems not.
