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

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

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

dual socket is costly  610

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

One could get a dual-7401P and enjoy 48-core hashing madness! Cheesy

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

See the specs

https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-epyc-7401

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.

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! Cheesy
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... Smiley
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'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

The 32 core 64 thread beast is amazing, but at the initial price I don't think it's worth it when compared to getting a first gen TR 1950X at a third of the cost (maybe less with a good sale). If you have a good use for that many threads then the 2990X might still be worth it... or if mining Cryptonight based coins gets a big profitability boost for a few month it would help allot to offset the bigger price.  Either way you would have an absolute monster rig for any purpose you can think of.

I think you’d be better served going with the 1920 and using the leftover to get another 1080ti... just my thoughts...

I got 3 parts so far

the taichi mobo at 224  with all coupons
2x 16gb ram     at 220   with coupons   eBay 15%
1tb nvme m.2   at  240 with coupons  eBay 15%

I have a cooler
I have a case
I have a psu
I have 1080ti's


So do I cheap out and buy a 1920x for 404 with eBay 15% off

and wait till I find a deal on the 2990wx

Still would be the best pc I ever owned

and only 1085 out of pocket.

The eBay sale ends in 6 hours

404  for a new 1920x vs 1799  for a new 2990wx  yeah it is better  but not so sure about 1395 better.

Anyone going for it?
use this mobo

Can be my next build project , really never built serious pc's with AMD cpu's, but this AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX Processor looks very promising Wink

Built one computer few months ago , when nVidia Titan V come out Smiley
It really was not built for mining Smiley but actually pretty much used for mining right now Smiley

Mobo : EVGA-299DARK
CPU : Intel Core i9-7980XE
Mem: G.Skill TridentZ RGB Series 64GB (4x16GB)
M2 Drive : Samsung 960 Pro 512GB
PSU: eVGA 1600 T2
VGA : 2x nVidia Titan V
and a few more goodies Smiley 2X water block for Titan V / water block for cpu / thermaltake water cooling sets ...


My-My! That's state of the art hardware you got there.
Which case is that? Thermaltake?

The case is : Thermaltake Core P7 / Tempered Glass Open Frame / CA-1I2-00F1WN-00
