Yes.
if have money.
yes.

i've been brainstorming this as well OP. what i have so far:

>TURDRIPPER
>mobo, havent decided. maybe an asrock taichi or an asus rog extreme LGBTQ+ edition
>cooler - kraken? info here is scarce not sure what's best
>4x8gb 3200 ram (g skill trident?)
>1080ti - msi lightning z?
>samsung 960 evo, 500gb prob cause >tfw inflated flash pricing
>850W PSU, prob a corsair?
>some case

thoughts fempais?

>>61721272
make sure your not cpu limited, fuck that shit

>>61721210
>>61721272
Can you really justify having a kikeripper?
For muh gaymmz, a "normal" rizen is more than enough.

Gaming + VMs + gpu passthrough + ethereum mining in a single rig.

Multi GPU passthrough drifting

>>61721449
i will be gaymen while having multiple streams open, while streaming, while doing video and audio ripping/encoding/etc. in the background now and then.

>>61721593
and on rare occasions some VM going.

>>61721593
I honestly think a high-end Ryzen CPU would be enough for your use-case.

>>61721210
I'm planning on a 1950X now, throw in 64gb ram and it'll be a nice programming workstation.

Should have the balls to run all the windows shit I need in VMs and give me much faster build times than my ancient 3930K can.

Should serve me well for the next few years and I can put this thing out to pasture as a home server or something after 4 years of daily abuse

>>61721272
>850W PSU, prob a corsair?
I've abused the shit out of my AX860i for years and it's never missed a beat. Been solid as fuck even at high load and plays nice with my UPS.
My other PC just died so I've got a spare one now that I'll be using for kikeripper build

>>61721449
we're not all gaymurs here senpai, some of us make our living with these things

>>61721630
im a bit on the fence on this one desu, but a few people have told me i'll likely see meaningful performance improvements with a jewripper

>>61721789
If infinity fabric really perform better than on ryzen yes. Just don't expect any oc improvement.

>>61721272

Mobo. Have money? Asus Rog Zenith Extreme is the top of the line. Even has 802.11ad and 10gig Ethernet, plus a fuckload of other features
. Asus Rog boards are always top spot. Only gaming? Look at MSI for cheaper. ASRock isn't my preference, but they have a better than taichi board, think it's professional edition. Not as good as Asus Zenith and almost as expensive though.

Cooler - swiftech or ekwb self contained liquid, if you don't build custom water.

Ram is good. Hell get either gskill or corsair and there is even RGB ram from them if you want compatible fruuty colors...but honestly rbg can be useful.

GPU - Wait to check Vega 64. Still want NV? 1080 Ti from Asus or EVGA.

Also building threadripper computer, which 128gb ram kit suits thread ripper? Will it hit ddr3200 with 8 modules?

>>61721449
3 GPUs (Fury X + dual Vega64s) plus a bunch of NVMe SSDs require more than 24 PCIe lanes, and TR 1900X is only $549.

W-who needs 16 cores anyway?

>>61721272
>MSI Lightning Z
You don't need that stupid meme card. Save a few bucks and get the Strix 1080ti.

>>61723207
reviews indicate its pretty quiet which is a big plus in my book

>>61721210
4 titan x
128 gb of RAM
1000w battery
and water cool everything including the RAM
some call it overkill I call it innovation

>>61723453
>1000w battery
So you build a TR laptop?

>>61723453
literally gay

AYYMD HOUSEFIRES 180W

>>61723453
Which 128gb ram kit are you getting? Which water block fits x399 VRMs?

>>61723526
>take a 95 W chip
>double it
>be surprised when it's 180 W

It's still less watts than Intel's I9.

>>61721210
Wait a while unless you need your new build NOW.

I waited quite a while when Ryzen came out before pulling the trigger.

Here's my experience:

> buy RAM, motherboard, CPU
> built the system, turned it on
> starts up, tries to boot into GNU/Linux, fails

Searching around the web revealed that it was some kind of memory problem that was supposedly fixed. So I updated went to the motherboard vendors website and found that there was indeed a BIOS update, several actually, for my motherboard. I grabbed the latest one and upgraded the BIOS and volla, I got to boot.

The BIOS update came months after this motherboard had been released.

>10gig Ethernet
Now there's something I'd like to have. IT'S ABOUT TIME. Gigabit Ethernet is a standard from 1999. We should have gotten 10 gigabyte Ethernet as a standard feature on motherboards years ago.

As for 802.11ad, probably nice that they include that useless feature but you probably won't be using it for anything (do you need wireless between two devices that are two feet apart with line of sight between them? 802.11ad doesn't even go through a piece of paper).

storm care by pellican with thread ripper? nice this shit costs a fortune

>>61721210
Do it. Intel's HEDT platform is retarded now.

I'd wait a couple weeks for reviews to come out though, to at least know what to expect with regards to stability and whatnot, seeing as Ryzen in general is still very new.
The microcode has had some time to mature, and I suspect most if not all of that should have carried over to Threadripper since it's basically the same as Ryzen but more of it, but we don't know if anything is wonky with the X399 chipset at this point.

I doubt we'll see the same amount of baby issues as Ryzen had, but best to wait a little anyway.

well, threadripper is coming after even EPYC, so I think the microcode/firmware will be quite well tuned, EPYC's firmware got a update to fix a really blatant issue in stuff that does a lot of cross thread communication

TR is B1 stepping while EPYC is B2

>>61724298
well support is eventually coming for everything, so from an economic standpoint he still should go with TR

>>61724071
probably linus
