AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX Processors. Has any one ordered it?

[leowonderful]

I'd agree with taking the 1920X- there's a 'hype premium' on the 2990WX right now on top of all of that, and you're getting very nice bang for your buck buying a 1920X over the 2990WX. First gen threadripper prices (and Ryzen 1st Gen overall) have dipped a lot recently, and there's even 1920Xs for $319 on eBay right now from the Newegg store account (skip the $404)- eBay Link

newegg was a 1900  for 319 


I got the 1920 for 400


so

all in all about 1075  for a monster..


and I will upgrade to the 2990wx when I can get it  cheap

Is there any dual-CPU mobo available for TR1's?
A dual-1950X would probably hash similarly to a 2990WX and still be cheaper... it'd just draw about 100W more (which isn't that much).

EDIT: alternatively, how do the EPYC server CPUs hash? One could get a dual-7401P and enjoy 48-core hashing madness!
EDIT 2: it looks like EPYC's are massively fast: https://www.servethehome.com/amd-epyc-obliterates-threadripper-monero-cryptonight-mining/ I might really look into getting an EPYC-based setup if the claimed numbers really do stack up. I need to upgrade my HTPC anyway sooooo...
EDIT 3: on second thought, a dual-7401p would probably hash around 3KH/s on CN. That's 1.5 Vegas... Same power draw. You'd still need quad-channel RAM, an expensive dual-CPU server mobo... Meh. Maybe less worth it than I originally thought.

I just setup my 1920x  and can't get settings for large files so it is doing a stupid low number.  I am using nice hash 2.0.6

eypc  is 829

No you can't, P versions are 1socket only, if you want dual, you need to buy cpu without P mark!!!

Aha.
And the "non-P" are obviously more expensive too.
Makes it even less compelling in the grand scheme of things... unless, of course, you want to build a proper server - and use it for mining too.

What issues did you encounter with the 1920x?  I've set up 3 Threadrippers so far for my wife's business and they all were able to do the "lock pages in memory" that you access through gpedit in Windows 10.

i figured part of the problem  I had 4 cores disabled. with the ryzen master.

I now am doing 10 cores  at about 64 each or 640 total.

Power is low well under 200 watts

two  1050ti's  and the rzyen

Gpu mining is actually a cover-up for computer building addiction

yep and I like to think of it as an exotic rebate for my gear.

Basically the performance of one Vega 64...



...for three times the price.

I paid 404 for the 1920x.

I am getting about 800 to 900 on xmr stake.

Happy with it so far.

I burn very little power getting the 800-900

[vmozara]

You guys look at everything from pure profit side

Maybe the guy wanted threadripper 2990WX anyway, but now he can actually return small part of his pc by mining when not using it.

Right now I have ryzen 1700 and vega 64 PC, when not using it i just start the miner. And I like it

Not bad, will see what new Ryzens can do when AMD release 7nm CPUs and GPUs, pretty excited

I am really happy  with my setup at the moment.

I have  the ryzen  1920x
I have 1 rx 560
I have 2 1050ti

I use 220 watts

I now get 1500 for cn7  that is about 85 cents  and  I use 5 kwatts  which is about  80 cents in the summer due to high summer rates and about 50 cents in the winter .

not much profit  but a kick ass  pc  best I ever had.

And when the 2990wx drops on sale  10 minute up grade.

My experience with the amd threadripper 2990wx for mining is not good.
Firstly i tried using monerod solo and next the claymore pool miner. after downloading the monero block chain i set the threads to 16 and i got about 8/900 hashes. In claymore i was getting 11/1200 hashes.

Tried setting to 32 thread but now the hash rate dropped by 25%
Tried 48 threads and it dropped another 25%
And at 60 threads i was down to below 200 hashes.
I am a bit peeved with these results- maybe to do with windows 10 1803.

Running an instance of monerod solo and claymore pool together with 16 threads each, starting one at a time did not cure the problem either. When the second miner started it stole hash rate from the other miner and vica versa.
It seems the best thread count is 16 -no matter how many miners are running the total thread count cannot be more than 16 to get best results

Hopefully a fix can be found.

319 + 20 tax = 339 - 25 pay with master pass = 314 - 40 rebate = 274 - 50 dollar gift card promo = 224 -3 = 221 which is

cheap for that board.

excellent !

A GCP n1-standard-64 with 240GB, non pre-emptable, is ~ USD 1500 / month.

It can be found, in this same topic. Only a few posts before yours. Just take a careful read, and then ask again if you are not sure
