And again, you just proved my point, they do get hot. BECAUSE MSI knew that and have an HSF built in, good job, MSI !!
And again, you just proved my point, they do get hot. BECAUSE MSI knew that and have an HSF built in, good job, MSI !!I might go with a heatsink for my NVMe drives, going to see how MSI's heatshield works first before dropping more money on this build.

KEK. I wasn't aware the heat shield was that thin.. LOL, the thermal pads are like 2x thicker. Something tells me that's not going to work out as great as they propose... Feel like a lot of heat insulation is going to occur and the heat profile on the right is moreso because of the thermal pads blocking the underlying surface than anything. Some temps and use case info would be a lot better.
People don't learn...
-- the following considering it's an HEDT platform, and as such being stingy is dumb at the very least --
-- typical Aenra disclaimer, i am not good at tact; just call them as i see them --
1) MSI, Asus or ASRock mobos.. never mind we've already seen Gigabyte boards allow for highest RAM+CPU clocking, nope; let's buy something else, lol.. even though with TRs being R7s x2, we have absolutely zero reason to expect anything different, but hey, why buy what's best for us. Let's buy MSI or Asus (significantly more expensive never mind they both fare worse) just because!
[you love the hype, don't you. Admit it. You deserve this]
2) We already know that it's quite attainable reaching 3200-3600MHz with RAMs binned for higher frequencies (3800-4000 [if you don't know why, google or read comment of mine on the topic at the R7 builders thread]). We already know that with modules binned -at- 3200ish it's almost impossible with Ryzens, we'd be talking about 'golden' chips mostly. And yet, what do most folks buy? 3000 and 3200 kits; in before yet more megathreads of 'why can't my RAM..!'
3) Typical lack of patience and that from mature, older folks. No waiting, buy now and see.. do you know what a percentage of improvement you'll get with a proper tr4-compatible cooler? Do you know if your mobo of choice will allow you for a full block or not? Can you even know if, as has happened time and time again, the first batch of coolers to come out will be functioning properly?
I don't get you folks. No, i don't have to, no, sure as hell doesn't affect me.. but by God, i really don't get you. What can i say
Cool story. Some of your points are valid but many people like to be early adopters and tinker even if it means some pain along the way. It's part of the game.People don't learn...

I have 2 Ryzen systems, both run memory at 3200 CAS14. Why ? I got the correct memory. Your trolling is not appreciated here. I could go on, but its no use, since you have already made up your mind.People don't learn...

This might shed some light on the subject...To those who ordered a threadripper from newegg, and it supposedly shipped. Does your order also say"Shipment information sent to FedEx" 8 hours ago, and no updates ? And your motherboard 2-3 hours ago already has an update ?
- All orders shipping to Canada will be coming out of the New Jersey warehouse or the Indiana warehouse. Nothing will ship from warehouses here in Canada.
- X399 ROG Zenith Extreme Motherboards have yet to arrive in the United States warehouses or US/Canada warehouses as I mentioned above.
- The United States will receive 150 X399 ROG Motherboards total for pre-orders. Canada will receive 10 X399 ROG Motherboards since the pre-order numbers are very low.
- Ryzen 1950X and 1920X pre-orders are being full-filled as we speak but the pre-orders outweighs the stock in the warehouses between Canada and the United States.
First, thanks for that. Second, as you can see, my motherboard is on its way. The big question, is why after 10 hours, there is no update on the supposedly shipped CPU, it shipped first !!. Not even received at the fedex facility. Thats very odd. Here is the text:This might shed some light on the subject...

MSI's M.2 Shield has indeed been criticized already, and then the critic has been criticized... with no proper conclusion IMO.I wasn't aware the heat shield was that thin.. LOL, the thermal pads are like 2x thicker. Something tells me that's not going to work out as great as they propose... Feel like a lot of heat insulation is going to occur and the heat profile on the right is moreso because of the thermal pads blocking the underlying surface than anything. Some temps and use case info would be a lot better.

Good catch ! At least the whole issue of nvme ssd's getting hot has surfaced, and different actions are being taken. I can say my method took mine from 70c or more down to 45-50c.They are more like heat insulators. Don't use them.
I removed them from my MSI motherboard.
