It's out and the darling of most tech news. There is some confusion in their naming. Zen is the architecture name, and so far we've had Zen, Zen+, and Zen 2. The consumer processor line is branded Ryzen (and Ryzen Mobile for lapto

Zen 2 was a big uplift in single-threaded performance. Ryzen and Threadripper 1000- and 2000-series, and Ryzen Mobile < 4000-series are all on Zen or Zen+ architecture. The current gen Ryzen and Threadripper 3000-series and the Ryzen Mob

GUI search is awful, but it does exist. Right clicking on an object type node (e.g. 'Tables' or 'Procedures' in the object explorer) and selecting the 'Filter' option gives you a limited search feature for obje

Certainly not necessary. TB looks to be a bit more economical. The fiber setup is pricey in the second video. I do love the idea of being distant from primary compute. I run a Threadripper desktop and my mobile option is an old, low-powered

Completely random and off-topic. I'm in the US and used to 12-hour time. I personally prefer 24-hour time, and am comfortable with 18:00 or similar for a time indicator. I don't know that I've ever seen a 24-hour time with am

Pretty timely, LTT has published one of their appropriately-named "Compensator" builds, where they make the most obscene off-the-shelf PC possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkfbg-sHwDo

Aw man! That RAM was not available two months ago. I recently built a 3970X machine and was frustrated at the lack of 32GB ECC UDIMMs.

> The closest CPU option is 32 cores 3970X TR, but it runs $2000, not the $2400 they spend (again, 2020 dollars). Sticking to HEDT, rather than server components, the 3990X is available, appropriately enough, at $3,990 retail. This is 64

I can post a link to a full PCPartPicker list later if you want, or answer specific questions. It's a 3970X with 128GB (link to RAM in sibling thread) of 3000MHz RAM on a GIGABYTE Aorus Master. No processor overclock. Running Noctua&#x

Crucial has 16GB unbuffered ECC at 2666MHz native frequency, available within the last month. It's a very stable overclock at 3000MHz. I think I've got room to move up to 3200. I would love to get to 3600MHz, but that has seemed u

Just a note, as I was recently slightly disappointed when shopping for RAM for a recent Threadripper build: The current max capacity for Threadripper ECC RAM is 128GB. The largest unbuffered ECC DIMM is 16GB. With an Epyc (or a Xeon) you co

And now you can get a cheap fountain pen that won't leak and writes delightfully. Financially, you're probably better off with hundreds of cheap Bics, but fountain pen ink lasts a long time.

I didn't track the time, but I was between four and six hours hands on over the course of a few days. I am probably a bit more fastidious than most builders. Also this doesn't count any research time or shopping time. Probably bet

I specced out the closest I could to my recent 3970x build. It was ~$1500 more through System76. At my current bill rate, I am barely better off financially for having built on my own. Had any hardware been defective, or if I had to trouble

Correct. It also shares a fair bit of implementation with columnstore indices in MSSQL Server. There's also a proprietary relational query language shared among Power BI, Power Pivot, and SSAS Tabular, called DAX.
