Very fresh build, and haven't really tested or pushed it yet, just DCS and some light flying in NTTR in the eagle. Pretty nice and smooth.

 

Cheers :pilotfly:

How does that help in DCS?
It doesn't..... YET!

 

Hopefully not too far in the future it will.

Nice System, pretty similar to what i have in mind.

 

What resolution are you running?

Curious to see how much headroom the CPU has when running on 4k resolution. (if any)

Monitor is a phillips BDM4350UC 43” 4K screen.

 

I run DCS at 4k and the screen will handle up to 60hz.

 

My old rig would struggle to hit that in NTTR, but this baby so far hasn't gone below 60 fps anywhere and is clocking over 150-190 fps out I the low detail area in the map.

 

Honestly I think the CPU would be board to death with DCS only needing 2 threads at present, but the processor uses its XFR OC to sit at 4.2ghz on up to 4 cores if the cooling is up to it which I think the H110 is. I haven't run a monitor on it yet but plan to soon.

 

The thing feels as smooth as butter right now.

IIRC the H110 will fail if you oc all cores to 4G and push it hard. Check the review(s) on [H]ard|OCP to get some cooling info on the 1950.

 

I also run a H110 on a i7-920 on my sons rig. I would personally not consider it for a Threadripper if I would put one together. A 360 ( 3x120 ) or 420 ( 4x120 ) or even 140mm based fan rad will fit better once you crunch numbers at all cores @ 4G :D

 

edit*: I must say, XFR @ 4.2G makes FAR MORE SENSE for DCS than a full-core-oc to 4G and being stuck there ! The H110 will serve that purpose well, just not all cores at max oc.

Your CPU will be obsolete at this time.
Probably, but most systems are a generation behind within 6 to 12 month anyway and no one can afford to keep up with that rate of change.

 

I update every 4 to 5 years and buy as best as I can afford.... The upgrade here was only CPU, mobo, ram, graphics and HDD. Everything else I already had, so I could aim a bit higher than I normally do.

Thanks for the tips

 

The H110i GTX has twin 140 fans. CPU is idling at about 29 and hitting about 55-60 in DCS with XFR working.

 

Nice and comfortable right now.

 

I had a previous build that had massive twin pump and rads set up, so might update some of that gear and build it in if I get to the point of winding it right up.

 

I can kick the Graphics card up a notch into Game mode yet which will clock that higher, so plenty of head room right now.

I follow Kyle's Threadripper reviews & threads from hardocp.com pretty close .

From what I understand, ANY 2-Fan radiator will give up in less than 20 minutes and most or all "standard" waterblocks that were made for single-die CPU's will fail when you push the system.

 

The H110(i) is ok for now I guess, but when you have the chance, get a proper block and a LARGE radiator if you plan to oc all cores towards 4G and actually use the system on all cores at 4G.

 

The proper waterblocks I have seen are "larger" than a 2.5" SSD ! Go figure what a half-sized Corsair block can achieve.

Awesome build, enjoy. :) Far to much power, cores and PCI-E lanes than I would know what to do with. There is no better time to be in the market right for a new CPU/MB combo right now. Thanks AMD for coming to the party finally. Now Intel lets see if your Coffee Lake can up the ante on the mainstream side of things. After near a decade of uninspiring CPU releases there is actually something to get excited about.

Cool. Great system. You'll love it once you get it all sorted. Monster machines are great fun.

You went full on with the cooling. I'm still bumbling along with my aio.

I think before I do the cooling thing, I'll change my case. Trouble is I can't seem to find something I like right now.

In the mean time I can clock up many hours in the F-15C and drool waiting for the F-18C to drop.

Cheers
