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

Thanks for the post
Are we talking about using lockpages with gpedit- thought this was specific to the 1920x silly me.
-ill look into this today.

Hello again
I have examined the lock page setting and it seams that the claymore miner has applied this fix already, When run with admin rights. So 1200 is still my max hash rate with 16 threads- any more threads still reduces the hash.
I am told windows 10 has a sheduling problem and may need the 1809 upgrade.
We shall see soon.

Good luck and thanks

Step 1.
Use JCE miner
https://github.com/jceminer/cn_cpu_miner

Step 2.
See this link if JCE miner autoconfig dooesn't give you 2000+ H/s

 Thanks for the info
Got the JCE miner configured now and getting 2500 to 2600 With 32 threads. Did lift higher
To 48 and 60 threads but same symptoms occured-hashes went down. Hopefully miners can
Get more efficient in time for this cpu?

Alls good now. Cheers

2500h-2600/s is already excellent and probably around the best you can achieve with cpu. If you want to try with more threads with JCE, you need to use special options for additional threads to avoid using cache, since you are fully using the cache with 32 threads: doing  this will probably bring a small performance increase with a power consumption increase ...

since jce-miner is outdate and not support monero cryptonight_R o variant 4 someone have any solution because if i use xmr-stak with 2990wx in windows 10 it have only 1200 H/sec

You're doing something wrong. jceminer was only better on older CPUs, you should get the same performance
with xmr-stak on a Threadripper. The most common mistake with XMR is running too many threads.

I reach the maximum performance by putting 16 threads, I also installed coreprio by reading various guides but nothing .. maybe we need some particular configuration in xmr-stak?

yeah, i've been eyeballing one for when my truck sells;  I too have never had state of the art, but have always ended up with 2 generations old top of the line.....  This little i3 ive been on since I received it can only do so much =)

It's hard to justify spending 2K on a motherboard and processor, but I figure I would not need to replace them for at least 6+ years..... that makes it worth it to me.


80mb cache.... that's really where it hits the home run.    Most people can't imagine the difference between a 2Mb cache and a 10Mb cache intel chip;  until they actually experience it..... it's a night and day difference.

My downside is I would be footing for a MB, CPU and a cooler; which I definitely will not be doing air since AIO's are so efficient and easy on the wallet these days.


If I did get it;  Ill definitely be putting it towards cryptonight in its spare time.    It would be a waste to not.

My 1920 has done well. I run 4 Vega 56 and the 1920 it will actually roi. Which is impressive.

they say the speed of these processors is very pleasing, you can earn them some of the cryptocurrency. delicious and the price compared to Intel.
