These guys aren't going to engineer a whole bunch of different boards, unless they see a demand. Perhaps that demand increases with the release of the 1900x in a few days and possibly even cheaper threadripper CPUs later, but it's probably never going to rival mainstream Ryzen boards. AMD has...

That's the socket we have to deal with though...and I'm not having difficulty visualizing an ATX form factor Threadripper board, because I'm staring at an MSI x399 now. The chipset + heatsink alone is 3" x 2" and it gets toasty even at stock clocks. This is the busiest, most densely populated...

TR4 is a desktop version of a server socket. Expecting motherboard makers to plant that massive socket on a tiny motherboard seems unrealistic. I mean if you actually look at a threadripper board, you'll notice that just the CPU socket + the "no-go" zone around the socket will take up 1/3 of a...

Sure, if you don't mind paying for it. Samsung b-die is still the best option for Ryzen/Threadripper. Just don't expect to clock a dual rank kit like that one to the moon. You'll still be somewhat limited in how high you can clock compared to single rank kits. I have a 4x16 GB 3200Mhz Corsair...

Regardless of how much you go with, dual channel memory access kills threadripper performance...literally cutting it in half in some multi core benchmarks. If you want to go with only 16Gb then 4x4 is a better option. My own threadripper rig is currently running on 4x16Gb, but I'll be adding...

Nice build, though it seems like a lot to spend for a build centered around a 7820x. I'm hoping to come in around that budget with my Threadripper 1950x build. This is what I have so far...all up and running at this point: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/SolarionFlare/saved/6nnkLk Using an old...

Segmentation faults only affected Ryzen cores manufactured prior to week 25. https://www.extremetech.com/computing/254750-amd-replaces-ryzen-cpus-users-affected-rare-linux-bug

Not sure why 2x8Gb memory configuration. If you're determined to stick with 16Gb of ram then 4x4 would be a better option for threadripper.
