>*blocks your path*

Still using my Maximus IV Extreme with a 2600K. Pretty comfy.

>>61306433
Monoblocks might actually be worth using on X299.

What is going on in this picture? Is that a CPU cooler that comes with the mobo or something?

Damn, that's fugly.

I literally said to myself why the fuck did they put a tape cassette deocration on the mobo when i saw the thumbnail

That's a water block anon, you can hook up tubes to it for your water cooler

>>61306761
Block for custom loops that covers the CPU as well as the VRMs.

>>61308779
until we find out is was just for decoration and there is only a tiny waterblock between the two hose fittings under the cover

This was back when VRM/chipset heatsinks where actually useful not really need as much today but still it would be nice to have them back it atleast makes you PC look useful instead of looking like a toy

Corelets... they will never learn.

is there a casette player built in?

>>61309088
It was also when it was necessary to cool the southbridge and northbridge. Now it's all on die for the most part.

>Built in watercooling
>No NB watercooling

Close, but no cigar. This is just a mb with an overpriced CPU block.

>>61309738
No, it's a motherboard with an overpriced monoblock. It cools the VRM as well as the CPU. It also has a shitty leak detection gimmick that you should never need if you're not a complete retard.

>>61309722
Just look at all those RAM slots wth ECC certification, with quadfire GPU's all in X16 PCIe lanes. Persistent VMs out the ass with individual IP addresses. Imagine trying to hit all 16 cores at 4.5Ghz overclock.

>at 4.5Ghz overclock
Good luck with that. You have to get very lucky with a Ryzen chip to even get above 4GHz, and you expect 4.5 on Threadripper ?
Threadripper is looking great, don't get me wrong, but don't expect a lot of overclocking headroom.

Probably when Coffeelake comes out with 6 cores

>>61309803
Yeah, 4.5GHz isn't going to happen. Maybe Zen 2 though. 7nm process is meant for >5GHz clocks rather than low power phone SoCs.

I'd be thrilled with a constant 3.8 on all cores

on the autism scale this thread is a eleven

Like Epyc, given that there are two die complexes, threadripper is an official NUMA platform with NUMA like latency between Dies.

Brainlet vidya gamers and web browsers, given their non-numa workloads and application who are buying into this platform are in for an enterprise/workstation hardware surprise.

>>61306433
The CPU block look like some sort of sad robot face with South Park style.

>>61310745
Nice guesswork.
You'll forgive those who don't take your word for it.
But yeah Threadripper doesn't look like it's for gaymers.

>>61306433
I though my aorus k7 was extremely ugly but this is another level

>>61311370
Can't wait for all the major 'techtubers' to release their reviews for EPYC crying about how it doesn't give them 10fps extra than their i7 7700k despite EPYC being Opteron's successor.

What pisses me most is that it's mostly just plastic designed to look "dynamic", "strong" and "quality" and that most of you motherfuckers buy into this shit. Give me back my actually working cooling elements goddamnit.

>>61310306
this, I'll get the biggest noctua heatsink they release for that thing, put some good static pressure fans and have some fun

>>61306574
If I was gonna watercool x299 I'd want the CPU on its own loop and the VRMs on a separate one, I think. It'd keep the flow rate up on the CPU block.

>>61308954
back then people using "science" to cool vrm and shit, now they just put slab of iron and led... and you done

>>61311398
They prob throw an overclock i3-7350K to show epyc is bad

>>61306433
Looks like a tape deck

Cool cassette player, Ahmed
