@gedavids84 4 ай бұрын

First, love the video! The absurdity of just taking a 96 core threadripper and turning on PBO is amazing. Second, I take minor issue with "you can only do 350W of work no matter the core counter". The energy efficiency of modern processors goes up dramatically when you slow them down. If you have enough work to keep 96 cores busy, 96 cores at 350W will do it a lot faster than 16 cores at 350W. That is assuming of course you have the IO to keep the 96 cores fed, which is not a small consideration. This threadripper is amazing is that it can effectively do both, it has a ton of cores for parallel work, and still has 5+GHz when the work gets single thready. Third, minor suggestion. I am an AMD enthusiast and I'd like to suggest you explore undervolting. PBO has a setting called the Curve Optimizer and what it does is give you a voltage offset that scales with the CPU's standard voltage setting at any given speed. The brilliance here is you aren't dialing in a big change that you'd want at a higher clock speed all the time. Quick primer done, AMD chips today seem to love undervolting. I have a 5800X3D and I set a -30 curve offset, which made my CPU clock about 5% faster under a prime95 test load at the same power limit. 5% isn't massive at 8 cores, but it's basically free performance, and on 96 cores that might be an impressive jump. Keep tinkering, I love this stuff. 🙂

The uncore of these CPUs uses a lot of power. AnandTech did a really good write-up on older Threadripper processors which covered the high uncore power usage.

For an all in one watercooling system like this, I'd expect the maximum sustained dissipation to sit somewhere between 200-350W for a desktop CPU, possibly a bit more for this setup since the heatspreader is so enormous. For 1000W you basically need a custom loop with some MoRa external radiators or a waterchiller. "For some reason or another, I could never get their RGB software working" - that's a very common occurance, it's amazing how all of these RGB software suites manage to be even worse than the next. Great video by the way, you've gotten really good at these. Compare the way you're speaking now to some of your earliest videos, quite the difference.

@Steamrick 4 ай бұрын

You're seriously underestimating how much heat a small radiator can dissipate if you don't mind the water getting a bit toasty and the fans getting a bit noisy. Remember the >300W GPUs with a single 120mm radiator AIO for cooling? I do...

@VraccasVII 4 ай бұрын

@@Steamrick I had some of those, yeah (6900XTXH LC). There are other issues aside from just the total amount of heat where radiator size can help you. The quality of your waterblock matters a lot more at 500W+ than at 200W. At 1kW you should have a dedicated product and not something that is primarily designed for desktop platforms. The highest dissipation I cooled for prolonged amounts of time was with intel's skylake-x, where CPU-only I got to around 750W. To keep this from thermal throttling, I needed to run the best available block directly on the die instead of using the integrated heatspreader, since while my radiators could dissipate the heat, my block could not keep up with the additional layers between it and the core. At some point, you cannot buy a better waterblock anymore (or run into diminishing returns), but may still run into thermal throttling regardless even if you could theoretically dissipate enough heat via your radiators. Once you reach that point, reducing your coolant temperature by having more surface area to work with (or using a water chiller) helps immensely with this issue. You'll also want a good pump or course!

Thank you, Dave, for always bringing us the relevant information that we need without all the frills and bullshit some channels dabble in. It's refreshing to find what's needed in the age of clickbait. Stay fresh and keep it real, Dave.

Back in the early 1990s I bought a Sun 3/160 from a guy out in East Bay. I remember opening up the front of the cabinet and seeing the sticker “1.5 KW” on the power supply. Went straight to KW, no messing around with Watts. 😊

Hey Dave, just so you know, your channel is NOT that small!! Kudos to get 3 of those beasts.. Shoot I'm excited I grabbed a 5800x3d (I play games on that machine) for 289 nib.. Oh well.

Just WOW the design of the CPU and supporting hardware is awesome. Major kudos score for everyone at AMD and I am an Intel devotee.

Omg I'm jealous of the custom built you did. I could configure that sucker to run well. That 512gb of ddr5 5800 is no doubt putting the board traces to the test. You could completely get stability with 5200 m/ts. Good logic for figuring out the waterblock issue.

Dave I just purchased a thermal contact plate for my Intel 13th gen cpu. It replaces the stock bracket and gives it more surface area to dissipate heat.

TBF, it might run Cities Skylines 2 at 30fps xD

Great video -- this gives me a new goal in life. So now we're entering the age of the CPU horsepower wars ... who'da thunk?

I've run into that with memory several time, even when you buy the exact DIMMs recommended by the MB maker, they often just done run stably at specified speed under load. I once bought a replacement mother board thinking I had a thermal issue and later discovered that there was a single bad row in a brand new DIMM when the new MB had the exact same symptoms of the old one. D'Oh

Nice - we need it to make the ‘one task per docker’ as fast as the ‘one thread per task’ was on the pentium.

Really sweet. As I remember when dirt was invented, it's always good to see one of my generation rocking the absolute cutting edge kit. Hope to live long enough to catch one of these chips that I could afford on the used market, maybe. I rather enjoy seeing what percentage of the latest and greatest with my outdated, used gear. I think Dell (or one of the OEMs) just announced plans to accommodate a 1000w GPU from nVidia. Maybe you'll have to revisit your 1000w CPU paired with whatever 1000w GPU seems to be in the pipeline?

Ah, waiting on compilers/cross-assemblers. Spent a 'few' hours doing that in the early '80's running a bit-slice assembler on a PDP-ll/70. Took an hour for every run. The AMD 2901 4-bit slice disk-controllers typically had a 48 to 64 bit control-store 'word' which required recompiling MANY times during the the controllers development. A Ryzen back then would have made life simpler. Eventually 'canned' uP's were used, i.e. 8X300 or 80186, which came with a pre-defined instructions set.
