https://wccftech.com/amd-threadripper-2990x-32-core-benchmarks/ > 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).
