Thanks. Just going to find a set of reasonably priced 2x16GB that works at 3000 and be done with it, no need to sweat tweaking cas for extra 5% performance.

Anyone able to recommend a good TR4 mobo? Currently planning on:
Asus - ROG ZENITH EXTREME EATX TR4 Motherboard (ROG ZENITH EXTREME) - PCPartPicker
But my butthole is already puckered up at the costs of everything so would be nice to pay less for something thats just as good.

Yep, looks good to go. Both slots support PCIe 3.0 x4. The one in the corner supports SATA as well, so guessing there might be a BIOS toggle to make sure it doesn't default to that.
Both the 500GB Evo and the 512GB Pro happen to be in the support list for PCIe NVMe mode.

TR2 is the new generation of thread ripper using the new design as the Ryzen 2XXX series. So a little speed bump and much better memory compatibility. Should be released in the next few months.

Wonder if its worth it for me. I need PCIe lanes, not so much the other shit. If nothing else it will drop the price of the older CPUs (hopefully). I can wait a tiny bit. Thanks.

Very cool thanks. This will be a great help.
BTW if anyone sees a Linux over/under-clocking tool for Ryzen/TR please let me know. AMDpctl does not seem updated anymore.

Got the 500GB 960 Evo, gets here tomorrow. I'll put it in and go through the cloning process and see how I feel

Soooo, how is it? Nothing more to say than "seems to be working fine"?
I was expecting a "holy shit!", or at the very least a dejected "meh"...

So it looks like TR2 is due out in August;
BlueChip claims AMD Z490 and Intel Z390 are indeed happening - VideoCardz.com
Maybe some nice discounts on TR1 processors prior to that like they did with Ryzen1?

gool on windows updates, 1803 installed on my main PC and now bluetooth speakers won't work, just always says its disconnected in sound panel (worked fine moments before the update). I'm sure it'll get fixed in a few weeks and I have an HDMI port I can use instead but it was nice being down 1 cable.

Ebay had a 15% off deal and I bought Ryzen 2700X, Gigabyte Aorus ultra gaming and 16gig 3000 CL15 ram to upgrade my 4690K rig at 4.5ghz. I can definitely feel the CPU bottle neck when I want to multi task while playing modern games. I'm pretty excited.

I haven't built a computer since 2011 so I'm due for a new one. As for processors which is better? Ryzen 5 or I7 for gaming, streaming (1080p) and some video editing? Money isn't a huge issue since it's been 7 years I got a new gaming PC but at the same time I'm not trying to break the bank.
