Something pretty interesting has popped up at der8auer’s Youtube channel (linked below) and gives us a first look at what to expect from AMD’s upcoming 32-core HEDT processor: the Threadripper 2990X. The overclocker used an EPYC 7601 overclocked at 3.4 GHz (which is the expected base clock speed of the Threadripper 2990X) with 4 DIMMs to simulate the upcoming CPU.

Let’s start with the basic test bench. Der8auer was using the standard EPYC server setup along with some quirky modifications. The PSU was upgraded to a high quality, Seasonic platinum variant and the cooling solution in question was a water chiller (ahem ahem) that should be able to tackle just about any level of TDP. The server motherboards are equipped with 8-channel DIMM slots and Crucial supplied him with 2400 MHz memory (dual rank).
