My motherboard and 2000w psu recently blew and I'm trying to find a replacement TRX40 compatible CPU in Europe but cannot find one. I had a computer shop in Paris put this together for me when I said I needed a computer for GPU rendering with Cinema 4D + Octane (similar to Redshift). Any ideas?

      Hi Art By Aymeric,
      Welcome! Bummer! Jump over that! We've been tracking CPU prices. Crazy right now! Since the AMD HEDT is being shelved, and based on current prices, suggest moving to the WRX80 Workstation Platform. Gigabyte (Thunderbolt 3), ASUS, ASRock (Thunderbolt 4) and Supermicro. The Threadripper Pro 5000 Series CPUs should be available by October 2022. If You need a System sooner, get a 3000 Series Threadripper Pro CPU! For the money, You'll have more Processing Power. The TRX40 HEDT was amazing! However, current prices have made that Platform more expensive than the WRX80 Workstation Platform! We're all eager to see the new Threadripper Pro CPUs! Gigabyte now has 3 - WRX80 Motherboards. We've only seen 2 of them Listed on NewEgg and Beach Audio. The List of WRX80 Motherboards is growing - MSI! And You'll also have enough X16 Slots, electrically for 4 GPUs instead of 2 - X16 and 2 - X8, electrically.
      Gigabyte
      1. WRX80-SU8-IPMI - Thunderbolt 3.
      2. Gigabyte MC62-G40

      Hi@@renderinginprogress,
      I hear what You're saying. And agree! However, We had no way of knowing at that time this would happen. However, based on the Technology, makes sense. You have 3 Options right now, TRX40 or WRX80. We love the TRX40 but no Upgrade path as We were originally led to believe. If You need a TRX40 Motherboard, still fairly easy to obtain. If However You require a TRX40 Threadripper CPU, that's where We draw the line since those CPUs are ridiculously over priced. Even higher than overpriced WRX80 Threadripper Pro CPUs! And as soon as the new Threadripper Pro 5000 series CPUs become available, We expect those at $100 per Core! Very reasonable. Option 3 - At 9 months, what about Your Warranty? Did You Contact both AMD and Gigabyte? If so, what did they say?

      Hi Jawar Deen,
      Welcome! Bummer having this problem! Going to be a hassle to Diagnose and Rectify! Just because any Vendor says the Motherboard is good does not make it so! Been there, dealt with that from both ASUS and Gigabyte!
      1. 1st Question: When did this start? Can You nail it down. From the beginning or at a certain point in time? We don't know if this is Hardware or Software.
      Did You check the Windows Logs? Could be a Driver issue. Start with Updating Motherboard Drivers then GPU Drivers. What Gigabyte Motherboard Model, Revision and Chipset - X370, OK! Did this start AFTER installing the new GPU? Which NVIDIA Drivers are You using? Studio Drivers? NOT Gaming Drivers!
      2. To resolve this will require stripping down Your Build to Basics with a Clean install of the O/S.
      RAM, Motherboard, CPU, and 1 GPU, one M.2 NVMe Drive! Then O/S. Watch and wait!
      3. IF this is determined to be Hardware, start with PSU then Motherboard. Yes, different. New! Suggest larger PSU, 850 watt - EVGA, Seasonic, ASUS or Be Quiet. Quality PSU matters! And Same Motherboard just a new one! We've had Motherboards Tested We know were bad. RMA is useless. All kinds of Questions arise. ESD from Handling, Bad RAM Slots, CPU not correctly Torqued. Is RAM on QVL? Etc. Hope this will help to Troubleshoot Your situation! Keep Us Posted on Your Progress! Hope that helps!

      Hi CJ Adams,
      Welcome! W-3400? W790 Chipset. More Questions than Answers right now! Anything Workstation would be ECC. The W790 based on PCIe Lane count is more HEDT than Workstation. Two Options, Intel W790 - DDR5 ECC Sideband or AMD WRX80 - DDR4 ECC. Parity. Big difference in DDR4 ECC vs DDR5 ECC. Expect next iteration of AMD Workstation to be DDR5. New Chipset, New Motherboards. Going to upset a lot of Users who were already upset when AMD abandoned HEDT! What You're asking is too early to know Anything beyond Specs. We need Research Data. Great idea, eventually! GPUs even. No more NVLink. Only GV100 or above will support NVLink. Crazy stuff. Making the Case of 1 GPU whether Consumer or Enterprise. Yes NVLink is NOT required for multiple GPUs on Redshift. Yes to reiterate Redshift can use multiple GPUs. Which makes the case for Slot Width of 2 Slots or less. Interesting going back and forth on Specs, Designs vs Implementations and Consumer vs Enterprise options. Changing one thing can change everything! About the time We get this figured out, something changes and We start all over again! Fascinating!

      Agreed! Render Network to the rescue! OK. 2 RTX 4090s, preferably 2 Slots Wide. Good choice. Aside from other factors such as Heat and PSU. HEDT Absolutely! That was the best of Features for Price and Performance. Both Intel and AMD created a much needed market between Consumer Desktop and Workstations. The W680 was quietly introduced. A neutered Chipset. No Bifurcation on Supermicro W680 Motherboards. Conspicuously absent! Now the W790. Hmm. Crystal ball forcasting, Probably 6 months out. Yes, a Render Comparison would be great! Right now to reiterate, up for conjecture on ETA.

      Hi Mike Quinton,
      Definitely an Option. However, considering the Specs and Price, that might not be the best Option right now. Also... PCIe 3.0 vs PCIe 4.0 and the amount of VRAM - 32GBs VRAM vs 48GBs or 24GBs + 24GBs VRAM. Since the RTX A6000 appears to run hot, 2 RTX A5000s might be a better fit. Even though Redshift can utilize multiple GPUs, from what I've read, it does not scale well. Therefor, a Single or Dual GPU would be preferred. Are You using an NVIDIA GV100 for Rendering? I'm curious to see the next iteration of that GPU! And with new RTX 4000 GPUs, We start this hunt all over again with more PSU required! Appreciate Your Comment!

      @@BuildOrBuy My brother is a EE in Texas and told me that many of these GPU's are underutilized. He said that if the user was Pixar or Disney Studios, the GV 100 would be a bargain at $34,000 a pop.
      The thing is that for even an enthusiast, this card may be overkill but given the price of high end GPU's, the price difference is starting to close between something like a 3090 and the GV 100.
      I talked to some folks who are in professional graphics and they said that cards like these are useful in a courtroom where evidence has to be substantiated and where either side can't argue about device deficiencies.
      My big thing is that with all of the rave for the high end cards, I haven't seen anyone talk about these Quadro cards anymore; Engineers and scientists talk about this stuff along with pairing it with Mathematica in order to calculate the speed of galaxies. I'm not in that group.

      If you're working for a big studio like Blur etc that's okay but a guy in his bedroom making a small animation? No.
      There are plenty of tools especially for Blender that can optimise your scene automatically to the point where even a heavy 4K scene with some denoising can be rendered on a 2060. In Maya/Max you have Mesh optimizers built in that can reduce polycount significantly without too much loss in detail.

    Sorry, Gill, but half of the video is about a lot of bad advises. But let me explain.
    First: your fixation on PCIe lanes on this channel is not always helpful. I am a "PCI Express Enthusiast" too, but i don't loose the look how a fewer or slower lanes affect real world performance. Example: In “Gaming” you lose - depending on the game - about 0-5% performance if you cut the PCIe performance into half. So a RTX 3090 connected with PCIe 4.0 x8 is still a high-end monster. But this is not about gaming, it’s about rendering. And that’s even less (!) depending on lanes: you can easily downgrade to x4 lanes without losing much rendering performance in nearly all professional applications! Because this is the way, most 3D renderers work these days: gather all data, put as much as possible into VRAM, process the data in VRAM and only use the PCIe for sending completed frames back and get some missing data. And even in 8K a PCIe 4.0 x4 with ~8 GB/s or x8 with ~16 GB/s is enough for this task. That was the first mistake. And you do that in a lot of videos, please have a look for real world benches, not an unimportant AIDA64 PCIe performance bench (or similar).
    Then you advise a Quadro A6000 for him. “Doubled the power” you said, what an absolutely extreme bs. Please understand how Rendering is done - that’s not only about VRAM, it’s first and foremost about the cores. Btw. The GDDR6X VRAM on a RTX 3090 is a lot faster than the GDDR6 ECC RAM of the A6000. A more than $2000 more expensive for a GPU that is only 0-3% (!!!) faster than a RTX 3090 in Redshift Rendering. And no, 48 GB VRAM doesn’t help here, even for 8K rendering. If you overclock a RTX 3090 (what’s not really possible with a A6000, because you can’t enhance power limit over 300 watt) or buy an already OCed RTX 3090 (most of them are) it’s possible that a 3090 is even faster than an A6000.
    Most motherboards don’t have a block diagram? Because they don’t want to know you about shared PCIe resources?! Sorry, but that’s real bs. Nearly all mid-range and all upper-class boards have a block diagram and it’s not a secret that all mainstream CPU & Chipsets only have a small number of PCIe lanes.
    Problems with memory controller if you use all four DIMM slots? Maybe with Zen 1/1+, rarely with Zen 2, but not with Zen 3 (if you don’t go above DDR4-3600). So absolutely no problem with a Ryzen 5000 CPU and 4x 32GB RAM. It’s the current Threadripper / Threadripper Pro lineup with a bitchy memory controller. Threadripper Pro 5000 will do better - just because it’s Zen 3 base.
    If it takes 8 minutes (!) for him to gather the data, the problem is definitely not an SSD. It must be a 5400rpm drive, maybe even external or a slow NAS.
    Your advises should be:
    - get a PCIe 4.0 NVMe for the CPU-attached first m.2 slot. A Seagate 530 or Western Digital SN850, both better than a Samsung 980 Pro. The very good Seagate is available with up to 4 TB. Put all your used media for that render on this drive. Put Windows and Software on a separated drive - doesn’t matter if SATA or PCIe 3.0 / 4.0 NVMe SSD.
    - get a second RTX 3090 or wait for RTX 4090 in summer / fall 2022. It doesn’t matter (for professional rendering applications like Redshift, Blender, Arnold, V-Ray etc.) if the PCIe slot is downgraded to x8 lanes. If it’s a 3090: DON’T put them into a NVLink / SLI group. It’s decreasing performance. Professional apps are distributing the tasks on their own to all installed GPUs, they don’t need SLI for that.
    - if you want to switch mainboard and CPU, wait at least for TR Pro 5000. TR Pro 3000 would be a DOWNGRADE for most applications, because single core performance is most times more important. Zen 3 is ~25% faster than Zen 2. I would wait for what's coming up in H2 2022.

      Your not the first guy I've heard trying to hold on to the old tech. When you upgrade your tone will change. Gill suggest the new TR PRO with 128 cpu lanes and eight channel ram for an all purpose pro rig that can grow with the builder. Desktops don't have the I/O for anything but a single gpu, single NVMe card and antique dual channel ram. I had dual channel ram in 2002. 75 watts of the power to each gpu comes from the PCIe bus. Z570/Z690 motherboards aren't made for multi gpu builds. The Asus WRX80E has 16 Phase 80 Amp inductors on the board. It has two 8 pin EPS power cables, one 8 pin PCI power cable and two 6 pin PCI power cables plugged into the mobo. ROCK&ROLL

      thuering A fake name helps you hide from accountability. Gill has a comment section and uses his real name. Even his wife Pat has more guts than you do.

      "it’s not a secret that all mainstream CPU & Chipsets only have a small number of PCIe lanes." I found the number of X570/Z590/Z690 board owners that can't understand why a quad card with four NVMe drives won't work on their mainstream board to be the majority.

      For pro work a 5950X is 3.4GB all cores. A TR PRO 3955WX is 3.9GB all cores. It's just rumors, but the 5955WX will be over 4.1GB all cores. We'll see. WRX80 runs eight channel ram at 4X the speed of data transfer on dual channel ram. PERIOD. I have no increase in latency going from 3200C14 dual to 3200C14 in eight channel. That's 14 14 14 14 34 at four times the transfer speed of dual channel. Yes I know, no gamer channel will ever mention that.

      "Example: In “Gaming” you lose" The question to Gill wasn't about gaming. His question was about a platform for creator apps. Gill spoke about the limited resources on an X570 and the advantages of sWRX8 socket boards. THAT'S NOT BS.
