Title says it all... Any change based on 2000 vs 3000 series? Difference between plain Ryzen vs the Pro version? Thanks.

I'm looking at the possibility of the ASUS Pro WS X570-Ace motherboard with a Ryzen 3000 series processor. I don't see any validated memory from asus for ECC however. Are we just on our own to select memory?

Ya what card?

Thanks scannell. Is threadripper the only way to get ecc memory? I guess gen3 TR isn't out yet...

Ok let's do it like this. What would it cost for cpu/mobo and 32gb ecc ram. That's my budget. I'll reuse the rest of my computer.

$1000 to $1200 for cpu/mobo/ram

Are EPYC all PRO CPUs? I'm really looking to build a workstation class computer. I work with embedded Linux and have to build Linux and complete file systems.

I haven't paid much attention to computer cpus for quite a few years now. I'm running an intel 3770k right now. I'm looking to do a new build and I would like to probably go with AMD but I really want to have ECC memory. I'm hearing conflicting information on AMD's support for ECC memory. Can...

I picked up a Lenovo TS440 server for $300 US from tigerdirect a few days ago. It came with a xeon-1225 V3 cpu. 450W gold psu. 8 bay hard drive slots. No operating system. It was light on ram at only 4GB ECC ram but I bumped it up to 8GB. Another disadvantage is you do have to buy hard drive...

Do we have any confirmation as which brands of R9 290(x) cards have good memory chips with large headroom for overclocking?

I've never run sli or crossfire before. I was wondering about this as well.

what about power supply for r290 crossfire?

dual 290 would be $800ish where dual 780s is around 1000. Dual 780 is getting a bit too pricey for my liking. I also have not purchased bf4 as of yet or a bundle might help for pricing too. Does amd or nvidia have an advantage at higher resolutions? I really don't like super loud computers and...

So dual 290 cards seems like a decent option. Should one wait for better coolers or just buy now and buy aftermarket coolers later?

I'm looking to upgrade my current 580gtx 3gb card in order to play BF4 on 3 monitors. I now have 3 24" monitors and would like to play at a res of 5760x1200. I haven't been keeping up on the video cards too closely but it seems there are quite a few options right now. What card or cards would be...
