Shot that link over to a coworker who was considering building a 3990x. While many parts could be picked up at MicroCenter, very happy to let someone else guarantee a build with a 4.8K cpu/mainboard combo. The early days of getting large memory sets to work with a board were tricky and I wont do that for someone else.
Really wish my TR4 boxes... had a future beyond the current 2xxx series cpu. Figured I would swap out the current 1950x and re-use the same water block, pump, etc on the newer CPU. Hardly worth it for the 2950x, which is more or less the end of the road for the threadripper boards I have.
- Filligree 7y agoWhich water block are you currently using? There was a design issue with the one EKWB original had, so they're giving out coupons to people who bought them. I found out when I went to look up whether or not the old one would still work with my new 3960X. (Turns out the answer is: Yes, but only if I limit the max power a bit. Possibly that wouldn't be an issue if I'd ever gotten around to installing the second radiator, but cooling is an issue. Still get 4.3 though.)
