Hello guys!

Not sure if this is the proper topic for this thread but I am currently looking on selling a few machines, since I am living in Prague  Czech Republic for a few years already I am not sure if you guys have any advice for the people living in the region where to sell such a components , preferible to a 3d artist who would see the benefit of these.


in case anyone intersted the machines I am currently looking for selling are.

AMD TR  2990wx with 64 gb  NODE
AMD TR 2770wx with 64 gb node
AMD TR 3990X new in box unopened

Best regards
Leo

Hey! I'd be interested in the 3990X, but I'm not in Prague, unfortunately. By the way, are you from Colombia by any chance?

Yes , I am from Colombia living in the Czech Republic for over 4 years!

Pm a message and we can talk about the component if you are really interested

Best regards
Leonardo

Hello Guys, after few days of having a couple of 3990x here are my thoughts and doubts that I want to share with you.
First here are the most important specs of the 2 builds in order to have an idea of the experience and performance.

Build 01
3990x
4 slot- HyperX 64GB KIT DDR4 3200MHz CL16 RGB FURY series (HX432C16FB3AK4 / 64)
Zenith extreme II alpha
ADATA XPG GAMMIX S50 1TB SSD

Build 02
3990x
8 slot -x4 G.SKILL 16GB KIT DDR4 3200MHz CL16 Trident From RGB (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR)
Zenith extreme II alpha
Samsung 970 PRO 1TB

1. first of all, the performance of this processor it's just amazing, solid 18 seconds in both  in the corona benchmark, slightly faster in the Build 02
/1/ in the other hands when I do the cinebench r20 I am having 24-24.5 as a score and I have seen some guys here have reported 25k,  build 02 is slightly faster

2. If I speak about memory here is the tricky part , after running several tests where I tried first the stock ram speeds, 2133 for build 2 and 2400 for build 1, it seems that in certain scenarios the stock speeds are just going faster than the 3200 MHz that both of the memory kits provided (3200 MHz)

-I have seen using stock memory speeds while doing rendering around 3500-3600mhz on all cores , looks weird right?
-when I switch to the 3200 mhz speed in both setups (and making sure the timing in both kits ends in 38) I am having while rendering around 3100-3300 mhz

3.Ryzen master Wierd behavior. this is really confusing since I see in the ryzen master a peak speed without doing anything around 800-1500 mhz , while in the task manager I see around 3.9-4.2 ghz, some of you are experiencing the same'?, I don't feel the builds slow or laggy just this is confusing and want to know why the ryzen master is behaving in that way.

4. Temps are just insanely amazing, never above 70 degrees while doing heavy renderings even in a pretty low airflow spot.


Let me know if you have experienced the same issues and also if you are using the same motherboard what are your speeds/Memory kits in order to see the differences and possible issues with the ram , also looking the best ram kit for this setup, (of course, as juraj suggested there are some really good ram kits coming to the market very soon)

Best regards

General CG Discussion / Re: !Attention! - Virus in 3ds Max Stocks models!! Read article!!!

« on: 2020-03-23, 00:12:48 »

For me prune scene wont really deal with the virus, it just erasing it from the scene but not from the system, so it will come back again (we did try the manual option and the virus gets created again on some super hidden carpet ) Did you tell autodesk of this? (i know autodesk is the slowest company to adress this type of issues (the "virus" took like a year to be acknowledge, ALSO i havent heard a thing about the virus real intentions, I dont think its just made to mess up 3dsmax scenes, why any one bother to do that, i think its more like cryptos or something like that, just think on all the big farms or workstations that have 3dsmax...

Hey arqrenderz, I am dealing with the same exact thing as you described , I dont want to reinstall 3ds max if there is some solid way to solve it , Did you find find way to erase that viruses?

Hi,

from head, I know nothing about any particular memory kit. You can just google it and hope that someone who has it answered it at some point. But..

- 3200 CL16 for 8&16GB modules, are 90perc. lower end Hynix, 10perc. lower end B-die. Most high-end kits were 3000/3200 C14.
- The linked HyperX is probably the same, it wouldn't be upgrade.

Zenith Alpha is now the best board for TRX40 in regards to memory compatibility, everyone tests their kits on it.
Keep the memory you have, and if it doesn't run stable & error free at XMP profile, then you can either lower the speed or sell and buy another. But you won't know until you try.

If you decide to sell it and buy another, wait for the upcoming 32GB 3600 CL16 modules from Micron and Samsung and use what you have until then. That is going to be the best memory for Zen2 chips.

Thanks for the info!


I will do the respective tests when the shipping company brings me the parts (they are delayed !! xD)

All good even as is. My personal notes:

- I would go with nVidia graphic for the single reason so that you can use Optix Denoiser during Interactive rendering in Corona. No issue with 5700 cards (apart from the driver shanenigans) but unfortunatately too many features depend on CUDA acceleration which is exclusively on nVidia for now.
- CMK64GX4M4B3200C16 With this kit (from B to C revision) it's unclear if you'll get B-die chips or Hynix, one works worse on Threadripper, and while you won't have issue with 64GB total memory, you might in future if you buy another kit and want to run them at 3200/CL16. Based on Amazon reviews, this particular kit is 90perc. Hynix, and people can't run it at 3200 on X570. X570/TRX40 have similar memory compatibility. I have personal experience where revision with Hynix wouldn't run at 3000 on my 3990X, but the b-die did up to 3200 without issue.

Which brings us to eternal memory question: How to even know which memory is made of highly-binned dies and which one not? There is limited online list with Samsung b-die kits, and perhaps even Micron Rev-e. Buying from brands that primarily source them (Crucial brand belongs to Micron, so their mid-to-high end modules are Rev-e automatically, while G-Skill built their reputation from sourcing b-die from Samsung mainly. Brands like Corsair buy absolutely everything, so you can never quite know and have better chance with their higher tiers but otherwise it's lottery).
I don't suggest wasting money on expensive memory, but usually the price difference isn't drastic enough right now to not search a little bit.

Hello Juraj,

Speaking about memory kits maybe you would answer this question pretty easy.

Some parts for my new 3990x workstation are on the way and I do have this memory from my 2990wx build

https://www.alza.cz/g-skill-16gb-kit-ddr4-3200mhz-cl16-trident-z-rgb-d4948815.htm

I have 64gb on my 2990wx and I have had many issues, Now moving these rams kits into the 3990x using Zenith Xtreme 2 alpha, do you think I will have ram issues too?

if the answer is yes, this, for example, this ram kit would give me better stability?

Thanks in advance for sharing so much valuable info!

Hardware / Re: Threadripper Builds

« on: 2020-03-10, 12:29:15 »

Hello Guys,
I have been following this thread for a while in silence but I would like to ask the guys who have the 3990x builds, how do you feel working with this processor at this moment, have you experience any issue since you bought them (lag, temperatures, stability)

I am a TR 2990/2970 User and I have experienced many issues with this generation for that reason I would like to know now after 1 month having the 3990x if your life is easier :D

It would be awesome to have an editable Google Document where the guys with the setups can add their build specs, I think it will allow the new people reading this post to find very easily good advice for buying Threadripper setups.

special thanks to Juraj and the Very active people who are sharing their knowledge and experience.

Best regards
Leonardo
