You are leaving alot of performance by installing Ubuntu. There are other Distros that will full advantage of Genoa.Its not done, but its live.

If you have any links to the fastest one, post here please, and I will consider it as a second OS. Linux mint is easy to install and use, and right now its running just great.You are leaving alot of performance by installing Ubuntu. There are other Distros that will full advantage of Genoa.
Clear Linux no questions about it.If you have any links to the fastest one, post here please, and I will consider it as a second OS.
Thanks, I will look into it. One thing to consider: If you are not a linux guru, then installation and debugging and updates being easy is a MAJOR plus. Linux mint is almost as easy as windows to install. I am NOT a linux guru, but its more efficient than windows most of the time, and its FREE.Clear Linux no questions about it.
An additional fan blowing air downward on it from the top may help dissipate the heat quicker?
If you can believe this after many hours just getting it to boot, and remounting the HSF, I ran out of paste. I just re-applied some passe, and its WAY cooler (62c) at full load with only 4000 rm fan !!An additional fan blowing air downward on it from the top may help dissipate the heat quicker?

@jonperron09 Right now I am running this noisey piece of junk, also waiting on a REAL heatsink from Alibaba ETA May 1st ?? They shipped it yesterday, but say 30-45 working days from that date delivery, so who knows.

Gentoo tops it by its nature of being a sources distro that optimizes all software builds to the hardware used.Clear Linux is not an Easy Distro. But the fastest Distro
Threadripper has its own code names:Is Genoa considered Zen 4 Epyc only, or does it also include Zen 4 Threadripper? I am interesting in a nice HEDT build as my next upgrade, sometime down the road, and would consider a Threadripper platform if it has good game performance as well.
IIRC Clear Linux uses various custom patch sets, non-standard kernel config, and used per-app custom build flags in order to deliver the runtime experience.Gentoo tops it by its nature of being a sources distro that optimizes all software builds to the hardware used.
That's a good point. The main question is then how much work it is in Clear Linux to make best use of Zen 4 (e.g. enable AVX-512). In Gentoo's ideal case one would just set the arch (-march=) one time to better fit the hardware and be done with it.IIRC Clear Linux uses various custom patch sets, non-standard kernel config, and used per-app custom build flags in order to deliver the runtime experience.
An ordinary Gentoo setup is much more conservative.
Speaking of avx-512 and Genoa.... My 9654 is running linux mint, and processing using avx-512, and running 16 hours per task (8 cores@1.9 ghz) vs fully optimized 7950x running 8 hours per task(8 cores@4.5 ghz), so I would say linux mint is doing just fine with avx-512. My poor 2970wx is running 8 cores @34 hours....That's a good point. The main question is then how much work it is in Clear Linux to make best use of Zen 4 (e.g. enable AVX-512).

But you are correct that Clear Linux may have an advantage through its own optimizations. There I'd hope such are being upstreamed over time. Would be interesting to have benchmarks of both.
ebay has those protections. Never had to use that, but the first CPU I got was vendor locked, so essentially DOA,, and I got my money hack easily and quickly. The second had the sleeve on backwards, so it was also essentially DOA. I started a return, but figured it out before I had to return it. You have never used ebay or read the rules ?Never considered you could buy an open tray cpu like this for such a discount, on Ebay no less. Do you think buyer protection would actually protect if for some reason if it was DOA?
Mine is back to front also, but the case side will be open, and the top is just a screen for me. You can leave the side cover off, and it might work OK, I think mine will.@Markfw Just got the Heatsink.
And now I feel like an idiot. I was so focused on buying the biggest heatsink possible. But my case is a server case with front to back airflow... this heatsink is for bottom to top. I'm so used to AIO coolers that I forgot to check this.
Now I'm wondering what to do. This heatsink was meant to be temporary anyway, before better solutions come up. Should I use it anyway, as is, or should I buy the other one like this https://www.aliexpress.us/item/1005...yZEd&_randl_shipto=CA&gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt
On the bright side you can make coleslaw more quick now.So the first has an 80mm fan that runs up to 10,000 rpm and is like a jet engine. I had to take it off, as it was too loud.
