go go bro~

vroom vroom

wow!

Niiiice!

Mega.. How much was the power consumption?? I see a KillAWatt in the background.

now here is a serious processor contender Intel has to catch up with :-) Finally AMD is back in the real race for speed :-)

Power is over 1 kW at the wall during that 5.4Ghz 1.65v run. I wrote some small details here: http://oc.jagatreview.com/2018/08/ryzen-threadripper-2990wx-msi-x399-meg-creation-ln2-oc-cinebench-8000/

Epic sauce :D

Awesome score! Have you tried with win7?

Installing win7 on X399 will need some BIOS adjustment, my version used in this score can't do that. There's another BIOS that's supposed to do that and I'm still trying it right now :)

Good job! Its true installing X399 on Win7 need some adjustment even on X399.

gg Noob.. waiting for your new score.... :-) Reminds me of the original TR launch!

Just use the Win 7 ISO on the forums, easy as f***

I can assure you it isn't that easy, newer platform like this need BIOS-level support to enable an unofficially supported OS. We have to ask the MB Vendor to do a platform enablement, and after it is supported, it's still a workaround with many bugs. That said, MSI already provide it and I will hopefully bench with that next time :)

I am running Win 7 on Threadripper 1950X on the new AGESA, so unless something is fundamentally different about Threadripper 2*** (I doubt it) there's no special support required. Are there no USB drivers for the MSI MEG Creation?

It's not USB Drivers. Some early test BIOS version I'm using can't even enter Win7 (acpi error along with some others).

Hello Bro. What are you using Thermal Compound?

Points are back again, HWBot bug?

Weird, not sure why points are back again, I'm pretty sure I remember to disable it
