Zeta R5 Neo
DDR5-6400 CL32-39-39-102 1.40V
192GB (4x48GB)
AMD EXPO

You cannot get the 192GB kit anywhere! ugh... Going to have to go with 128GB

Damn, I need to update my RDIMM knowledge before I confuse people :- ) Super sorry about this.
Anyway, looks like Threadrippers 7xxx even non-pro require RDIMM memory, so for G.Skill, that would be their Zeta R-series, not the Z5 series.

And yup, that's the https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-192gb/p/N82E16820374533?item=N82E16820374533&source=region

1600 USD you quoted above, uff.

You can always go for generic stuff like https://www.newegg.com/nemix-ram-256gb/p/1X5-003Z-01FM5 (1000 USD for 256GB DDR5 RDIMM 5600)
But I would probably buy the G.Skill for those Samsung ICs if I was building state-of-art workstation.
Good catch on the RDIMM, I myself didn't look that far into it. I would definitely go for the G.Skill then.

G.Skill Trident Z5 series uses Samsung chips, and is among probably the most high-end kits on market right now. I can't imagine it not working :- ) If these wouldn't, none would.

That doesn't mean it will run at their XMPP/DOCP settings, and G.Skill validated those numbers for Intel Alder-Lake desktops. So you will be on your own to figure out the best stable configuration.
Thanks for the quick reply Juraj. I was thinking there shouldn't be a issue. Out of curiosity, what RAM would you go with? The difference is $680 versus ECC $1,600.

Has anyone built a 7980x yet? I'm thinking of building one, but I would like to use non-ECC RAM. I've used non ECC RAM for years now and never had an issue, also saved a ton of money. I was wondering if you think this ram would work with the Asus TRX50 "G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 96GB (2 x 48GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400 (PC5 51200) Desktop Memory Model F5-6400J3239F48GX2-TZ5RK". I would get 2x for 192GB. What's your thoughts?

Thanks juraj for that informative post. I guess I should have been more specific. The system would be for final renders of animations. For what we would use this system for it would be feasible to render animations solely on it if it was three times faster than a 3990X. So this is why I'm trying to find a single system with hopefully that performance or more. Like I said from the benchmarks it's really hard to tell what the performances compared to a 3990x. So that's why I'm asking here.

21
I am looking for a upgrade to my 3990x's for rendering. I need something at least 3 times faster than a single 3990x.  Been looking at the new 7980x to try to figure out the difference between that and a 3990x. But since benchmarks don't give you results in seconds it's kind of hard to tell.  Is it twice as fast? less? I'm looking at a 7995wx ultimately since this will be the fastest.  What do you guys think between the 3990x and the 7980x? That will maybe give me a good indicator of that the 7995wx is capable of.

I like the dented metal roof, what textures are those if you don't mind me asking? would like to download them.

Great renders by the way, love the mood

Fully procedural garden path with Corona tiles.
Would you please be able to upload this scene for us to try out?

I managed to significantly simplify the setup, previously it was unnecessary complicated. With the addition of conform modifier in Max 2024.2 update, the setup should remain fully procedural even on arbitrary shaped terrain (didn't test that myself yet).
thank you so much for putting that together!

I was hoping we would see below options for new generations. Things are moving so slowly with CPU's, almost 4 years later from the original 64 core just to double the performance... Ugh... Meanwhile GPU's

Non-Pro - 96 core

Pro - 128 Core

Update,  AIO was definitely loose surprisingly.  I tighten them down hard when I install. Tightened it all back down again, ran again and the temps are just as bad.  Ordering a replacement SilverStone IceGem 360 right now.

27
Well, I had to transport my one 3990x system with a SilverStone IceGem 360 AIO on a 11hr drive.  Once I got where I was and hooked up the system, the computer would just randomly turn off. No warning, beep, or anything.... just completely power off.  It seemed that it would happen the most during CPU rendering so I checked temps with HWinfo.  Well they look terrible! Not sure if the drive loosened up the CPU cooler or it just went bad.  But have a look at the old temps vs the new.

Yes! and it makes a difference!

Hardware / Dual CPU Render Machine
« on: 2023-08-04, 18:24:46 »
Why does it seem Dual CPU EPYC machines don't work well with Corona. Or any dual CPU system for that matter. I was looking at some render machines for animation.  Seems Dual 128 Core EPYC systems would be the way to go but even Corona Benchmark shows dual EPYC 9654 not doing much better than 1 64 core Threadripper.

Hardware / Re: Which Monitor is best?
« on: 2023-07-13, 22:44:30 »
Well I tried the Dell UltraSharp U4924DW 49" 32:9 monitor for about 2hrs, it was terrible.  Already back in the box and ready to ship back.  Nothing fits it correctly, it's either all the way to your left or all the way to your right.  For the hell of it I even tried hooking it up to a system for gaming.  No game would fit it correctly.  Color accuracy and contrast was great though, like all UltraSharps.  But it's so wide that if you need to see something all the way to the left or right the hue would change because it's at such and angle.  21:9 seems to be the real sweet spot.
