Depending on your use, most likely none to maybe 8 or 9 percent.For Threadripper 3960x, 3970x, and 3990x on TRX40, if I opt to go with ECC RAM, of which the fastest available seems to be 2666mhz, what kind of performance hit can I expect by going with ECC vs faster and cheaper non-ECC RAM at 3200-3600mhz?
Thanks! What uses would probably more likely mean a performance hit of 8 or 9%?Depending on your use, most likely none to maybe 8 or 9 percent.
Mostly gaming. Other specialized things like high speed trading would take a hit as well. But most workstation type of tasks? Not much if any.Thanks! What uses would probably more likely mean a performance hit of 8 or 9%?

While I don't know your specific use case, the 3950X may be your better choice.I wouldn't be doing high speed trading and gaming is secondary to me, so I'm fine with that. As long as for most workstation type tasks and video editing there is little impact, I'd be fine. Still deciding whether to go with the much cheaper Ryzen 3900x and making do. It's about $1000 less for 12 fewer cores than 3960x, but also fewer pic-e lanes. I doubt I'd get over double the performance for dollar from 3960x, so it's harder to justify than previous generations of Threadripper. I have a 1950x right now with x399 mobs that has a sale value of $600 net. About $140 more gets me a 3900x with x570 pro mob. Another $210 added on top of that gets me a 3950x instead. Then it's a big jump of about $1000 additional to get to 3960x with TRX40 motherboard.

Don't waste money on ECC for video editing. That would be like buying a five point racing harness to sit in a spinning chair.
