After a few years where I enjoyed and used my ThreadRipper with immense satisfaction, I made the decision to venture into another project. This time taking advantage of the tremendous work done by @CaseySJand other users, I will struggle much less to get my PC working than we suffered three years ago for TRX40 Motherboard: https://rog.asus.com/it/motherboards/rog-crosshair/rog-crosshair-x670e-hero-model/ CPU: AMD Ryzen 7950X https://www.amd.com/en/direct-buy/5676499200/it 128 Gb DDR5: 2kit of Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 RGB 64GB (2x32GB) 5200MT/s DDR5 CL40 DIMM https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B0B1QNPM2T/ I will keep the CPU heatsink and some of the disks that I have now This system loses in multicore to my TRX40 but performs better in other areas I hope to see you still developing our historical thread on the TRX40, I certainly will a touched TrexIntosh 🙂 🙂 SysReport.zip EFI_ASUS_ROG_x670E_HERO_Clover5149.zip EFI_ASUS_ROG_x670E_HERO_OC_098.zip EFI-ASUS_x670E_HERO_Bios2124-fabiosun.zip

ASMedia Sata Controller: 1) PIONEER BD-RW BDR-207M 2) External sata enclosure (hot plug activated in BIOS) AHCI Controller: 1) WDC WD100EZAZ 2) WDC WD120EMFZ 3) ST10000VX0004 4) WDC WD60EDAZ Thunderbolt4/Usb4 on backplate OWC Envoy Express TB3 enclosure with a Samsung 960 pro 1 Tb On backplate: wireless USB receiver USB WebCam USB cable extender (2.0) Realtek 2.0 speaker and microphone (green and purple) Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable:

what works 1) thunderbolt 4 (Maple Ridge chip)* 2) internal RealTek 2.0 audio (as the thread ripper but without thread ripper detection problem) 3) hdmi/DP audio 4) all usb internal and motherboard 3 USB 2 header, 2 USB3 header (ASMedia) 5) All 4 NVME slots 6) intel i225 Ethernet 7) All 6 sata ports (two different controllers one is ASMedia) 8] sata hotplug 9) sleep/wake 10) Continuity Cam * *NOT Hot Plug for now what doesn't work in my specific case all Sata disks are seen as external and at the moment it was not possible to have them internal with kext or settings for Device properties that I tried Solved it was an incompatibility with Ventura OS device enumeration The system is as stable as the previous one I had Temperatures in full load are higher, in idle or medium load much but much lower In Ventura my Pioneer Blu ray disk recorder is not seen by OSX solved with a os update, in Monterey it works is it worth it? for me yes in full load I lose, compared to a TRX 3970x, about 15 %. In tasks that do not involve using all cores I gain even 20% With Davinci Resolve, using the test benchmark (candle). With trx40 I had for: 66 nodes 30/31 fps 6 TRN nodes 40/41 With AM5 I now have: 66 nodes 31/32 fps 6 TRN nodes 48/49 In general use I don't see much difference with my previous platform, lower watts and temperatures (not in full load) The bios is still very immature (0922 bios is a good improvement) but, if I hadn't made mistakes in assembly the system would have been up in an hour I would not spend too much on expensive DDR5s at very high frequencies since from AMD specs if you fill all 4 slots the maximum frequency is 3600! With latest Bios 0925/1003 is it possible to push 4 Dimm to 4800 without problems *https://github.com/acidanthera/FeatureUnlock/actions/runs/4398382993
