    Blender released an offical benchmark

    Can confirm. Makers were informed the benchmark does not properly initialize on systems with more than a single CPU socket but have failed to address. So they have a massively parallel benchmark that bugs out using precisely those systems they wish to target and are silent as to fix. Weird

    News 2990WX Threadripper Performance Regression FIXED (for certain workloads) on Windows*

    But, but, BUT..... it’s nothing to do with NUMA! You guys are funny. The title of this thread should really be: "Nerds finally prove true what Kris said six months ago."

    Question Windows 10's "core isolation" / "memory integrity" feature

    Ha. Secure boot has no effect after transferring control to OS. That MS would make dependent on this “feature” further “security” capabilities is a testament to their herding ability. Essentially secure boot turns your system into a hardened boot-loader just like all those Apple, Android phones...

    New motherboard, same OS drive

    Replace MB. Boot. windows will re-configure dynamically. Don’t format. That’s just dumb.

    Question Ecc is for xeon ECC and some Pentium G cpu

    Haswell-E/EP/EX OC to 105MHz BLCK on top of 3.8GHz all-turbo boost unlock Yes, they all run at that speed. Watercooling

    What controls Turbo Core in Xeons?

    This looks like a good choice. Still has the plastic tape on the heaterspreaders (remove for best thermal performance). https://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-Z10PE-D8-WS-Server-INTEL-Motherboard-Dual-LGA-2011-3-DDR4/332929046608?hash=item4d841e1850:g:Tm0AAOSw~bhb9GKw:rk:35:pf:0

    What controls Turbo Core in Xeons?

    Have found PCH core voltage (1.05v) increase seems to have a stabilizing effected on BCLK. Now at 105 BCLK stable and have overcome the issue with QPI downgrade (had it set to Auto). Boosts are now punching 4GHz (3990MHz).

    What controls Turbo Core in Xeons?

    I run a custom EFI. -70mV for CORE -30mv for CLR 104.8 BCLK (105 BCLK or greater downgrades QPI from 4.8GHz to 4.0GHz) Like I said, lighter loading will boost all cores to 38x (~3982MHz) Heaver loading and you will see somewhere around 34x, 35x EDIT: Watercooling is a MUST for these speeds
