As expected, with AMD continuing to milk this launch as long as possible, the board partners showed a ton of their premium X670E boards today. Looks like MSI is the only one to pull 10Gbe down a tier from the halo boards, the ACE will have it as well as the Godlike. Kinda of a bummer, was hoping 10Gbe would also find its way on to stuff like the Hero.

By the way all of these boards are insanely overbuilt. The hero is 18+2 with 110A power stages, with a top SKU having a 170w TDP, lol. I guess who knows, maybe this socket will last a while like AM4 and some future monster TDP part will exist.

It makes more sense than a 7900X3D. Why waste effort putting 3d vcache on chips that are cut down? AFAIK there's nothing that would prevent AMD from validating chiplets before stacking, so it would make sense to only do it with top-binned chiplets.

That said, for those reasons and more, expect the 7800X3D and potential 7950X3D to be very expensive. AMD has no reason to go cheap on those CPUs, they are halo products for a very small market. Their existence is more important than their sales.

I do enjoy that some board makers are apparently willing to pay Intel to use the Thunderbolt name for their AMD boards, and some are not. Love my compatibility with "TBT" devices.

I stopped caring about 10gbe on boards because you can get 10gbe & 40gbe cards for $10 each on ebay. And they have the added benefit of not being rj45 which lets you get cheaper switches. They also run cooler/use less power, and if you really need rj45 for something you can get an adapter.

True, but I would prefer not to add any card at all next to a 3.5+ slot GPU if I can avoid it. Guess i could get creative and put the NIC somewhere else with a ribbon cable, lol

For poo poo like 40GBe I'd like a board where the secondary slot does at least 8x lanes regardless of how the chipset is hooked up to the CPU (which I hope is PCIe 5.0 4x to the CPU, for the bandwidth, despite rumors saying it's PCIe 4.0). Too bad they're still light on details in that regard.

I put a Chelsio T6 in my TR box because what else is there to do with all those PCIe lanes? PCIe 5.0 in the long run will result in some hilarious densities of having 16+ x1 links that can all run at 32 GT/s.

Honestly I have no idea but the current epyc lineup has 3D cache CCDs with 8, 4, 3, and 2 cores enabled.

96MB of L3 cache for 2 cores feels silly but the reduced density means the 7673x has a base clock of 3.05GHz and a boost clock of 3.8GHz which seems solid next to the full populated 8x8 ccd 7773x needing to have a base clock of 2.2GHz. Maybe it’s that simple.

I figure they'll be able to make higher clocked V-Cache desktop CPUs, because it's implied that buyers of these will be applying bigger and better heatsinks than you'd typically find in datacenters. That said, I'd expect lower boost frequencies.

Yeah I think it's just one form of market segmentation or another. If you have a low threadcount workload that really benefits from the cache, but will max out power/thermals on just 2 cores per CCD, paying less than half as much for 7373Xs probably makes sense.

It's not the same in the consumer market, because no one is paying such a huge premium for the chips and cache.

Note that while data center heatsinks are usually slimmer than high-end consumer ones, this doesn't mean they are necessarily any less powerful. Unlike in the consumer space, DC doesn't give a poo poo about noise, so the airflow over the heatsink can be 10x higher.

I thought using the 5800x3d was an exception but in looking for details it apparently reduces performance? It’s a pretty consistent 1% in synthetics.

The rumor was that the .7 AGESA had fixed some issues for the x3d. I guess fixes may actually make things slower I guess. My x3d is running on a MSI x570 board with AGESA .7 and it’s current cinebench performance is a hair better than the original firmware from April or whatever it was released. I am running a negative voltage offset from PBOtuner now however, so I guess that made up the difference.

are there any settings i can look to reducing power draw for a Threadripper 3960X?
total system draw is 180W at "idle" but shoots up to 280W on even a light load (e.g., YouTube)

i've tried stuff like disabling PBO but it didn't do anything. oddly enough, changing screen refresh from 144 to 100hz reduced power draw by 30W

i'm OK with high draw when doing compute or gaming but would like to reduce it for light loads ideally

v1ld
Apr 16, 2012

Could use some help identifying probable cause here:
- Desktop (5950x, RTX 3080, MSI Unify x570) wouldn't power on this morning. Last used last night about 10 hours earlier, clean shutdown.
- Power switch on front was unresponsive. Switch lights up when started normally, even that light wouldn't come on.
- No evidence that any power was flowing to the motherboard.
- Switched between power ports on strip, switched between power strips, switched between wall sockets. No dice. All other devices on those strips worked with no problems.
- Tried a few times over the first hour and decided to go buy a new power supply as a first check when I had time later.
- Randomly tried power switch on front roughly 3.5 hours later and the machine booted like it had never had a problem.

Any ideas as to what this could be? Should I be looking at a new power supply?

Don't know anything about Threadripper but: are you using the AMD power plan? Check with any of the utilities that show you hardware info if your cores are actually spending time in idle states.

Though that power draw could well be your GPU as evidenced by your monitor change.

That seems like a problem in the power delivery chain. Could be a loose cable somewhere in the chain from the wall (including internally), could be a bad random bitflip in the bios eprom, could be a shaky power button. You may laugh, but i have literally seen that happen.

Could also be that the computer ghosts were mad at you today. Modern computers are fuckin weird sometimes and the chain of power protection and sensing features in the PSU and board sometimes gets off sync, misreads a variable, gets something stuck in memory, or just wigs the gently caress out.

If you've reseated all the cables and eliminated the obvious failure points, and it still happens again or you are doing something absolutely uptime critical, the PSU is probably the first place to start swapping. If it happens again, I would also swap the DIMMs around (and try booting with just 1) before i bought anything. I know that sounds dumb for a probable power issue, but I can't tell you how many strange failure modes I've fixed by swapping the DIMMs and forcing the board to retrain the timings, which sometimes stick even after BIOS clears. Again, computer ghosts at play.

v1ld
Apr 16, 2012

Thanks, that's all very sound advice. I'll keep an eye on things and reseat stuff internally if it happens again.

The complete lack of response to power on followed a few hours later by "what, you called earlier? didn't hear you" like it was no problem at all is just super weird enough that it probably has a very mundane cause.

Knowing I have another year of warranty is nice.

So, this does sound a lot like the PSU was responsible, but I think more like the lock-out from a short or other protection rather than failure. When you trip the protections they typically won't turn on until you unplug or flip the rear switch for a bit.

If the switching strips & sockets you did was quick each time I suppose it's possible that you never de-powered it long enough to reset the lock-out. Alternately, maybe you have a intermittent short. I'd open up the PC and review your cables & plugs, particularly if you do fancy cable management routing (which can pinch wires). Also maybe tilt the case around to listen for a loose screw or whatnot.

Aside from that, anything that happens once is coincidence. Until it happens a second time I'd note it and move on.


Though as a totally separate thing, IMO it's always nice to have a second PSU around. PSU problems can be pretty whack to diagnose, so swapping a PSU is high on my list of shotgun troubleshooting for persistent mystery problems. A cheaper model is fine since it's just the backup / spare used to repair your friend's PC.

Nah, that's normal.

2950X without PBO, Geforce 3080, two 4K120 displays. Power draw is like 270ish watts on the current meter on light browsing workload. That said, 105-110W on idle with displays in sleep mode.

That said, I guess subtract around 20W, because I'm still getting 24W on the meter due to the modem, RPi and UPS on said socket.

--edit:
I'm anticipating the drop in power draw when moving to Zen 4 on AM5.

This could be it. Both the strips have their protection lights still on but it's still possible the PSU tripped. While I flipped the rear switch, I may not have waited long enough after that for a lock-out to expire.

Didn't know PSU did any form of lock out, that's good to know too.

My last PSU fried a couple years out of warranty but the nearby Best Buy has Corsairs in stock so I haven't been too worried about having a replacement on hand. But it's a good idea.

E: That last PSU lasted 8 years and was rated for 7. Just saying since I haven't shown very strong warranty reading skills so far in this thread. It imploded when it decided to leave us, with some impressively heavy grey smoke that was heavier than air and flowed across the floor. Didn't damage anything within the case.

This is easily googlable. The RMX has had a 10 year warranty since 2016, and the plain RM have had 10 since 2019.

Corsair uses a number of different OEMs, but any particular one is pretty ignorable because Corsair does way more work on their PSUs than the average Gigabyte or whatever brand. The RM(x), TX, & CX lines they input on design and specify the components. IMO whichever OEM did the manufacturing is kinda irrelevant in their case.

I got a 'TITAN WORKSTATION' PC build a guy bought direct from Titan PC's website. This thing is the biggest joke i've ever seen. It has some decent parts, Asus X570 ACE workstation board, 5950x CPU WITH a tiny 120mm noctua single fan cooler, and some 120mm noctua fans. The case has Zero airflow, as in a 1/2" gap on the front side panel and no top fans or vents, one 120mm rear vent/fan and a GTX 3090 FTW3.. absolute beast of a setup with zero airflow. And the best part a no-name chinese 1250w PSU.. that is turning itself off immediately. I decided not to risk it after one shut off in front of me after about 2 minutes.

$4000+ bux and I have to spend another about $600 to get a working safe system with a good PSU and some airflow. Jesus
