All three of them are incredibly close to the process limitation of ryzen. Therefore all overclock as well as the next. It seems all three generally clock up to 4.1GHz with a higher number of them hitting 4.2 than the 1800x did before.
Wow, it's been 3 weeks and still no 1900x reviews. I have been a bit tempted to save money with it, as with most of my use all the PCI lanes will be biggest benefit - two video cards at x16 and the tertiary card still at x8, and still all the lanes for M2 storage. There's a little trade off, as a few apps I use the most rely more on core speed, then a few others used less often will use most or all the cores.
Anyone running a 1900x, or 1920x vs the 1950x? Word when they came out is the first two should be more overclockable with less cores pumping out heat. Of course, if the difference isn't much, it's very tempting to just get the 1950x and have a beast.
My 1950x refused to do 4.2 unless I set the core voltage to 1.45V+ which is more than what I'm willing to give it. If you're planning to overclock to 4.0 and above, hopefully you have it under a custom loop.Wow, it's been 3 weeks and still no 1900x reviews.

Don't go with the EKWB block. Go with either the XSPC raystorm or the Heatkiller TR block releasing in a few days. They both have much larger fin surface areas than the EK block that covers the entire IHS. Everything else you can go with EK.@guskline Just info from what I read on the reviews, which could be wrong. I read they weren't hitting max boost clock of 4.0, which seems a little misleading. I at least want to hit that, and yeah I don't think I'd push for much more as you say they put out a ton of heat seriously OC'ed. I'm basically a noob at the water cooling, only having some AIO video cards but plan to go with the EKWB block for it.
ddogg, are you going to get the XSPC raystorm for TR?
If I was building a custom cooled one I think the XSPC block would work the best.
@ddogg I looked at some vids, thanks for the info. I think I'll just stick with the EWKB, it looks like the micro finned area covers the dies. The XSPC raystorm does practically cover the whole spreader, but I'm a noob at watercooling. Only have a few AIO cards right now.
Their configurator seems nice, but still leaves some unanswered questions holding up my order. I sent them a message. I am putting this in a Thermaltake View 71, and it recommends EK-XRES 100 Revo D5 PWM.
1. It doesn't appear to come with any mounting bracket for the reservoir. If not, which one do I need?
2. I want to add a drain valve for maintenance. So, a Y splitter with a ball valve? What other fittings do I need with that?
3. Does the pump come with a fill port? If no, what do you recommend I add?

Mine only has 1. I checked EK and it appears from the pictures that the glass ones are the only ones with 3. If you get a ball valve, don't forget about a stop plug.1) I use this for my reservoir https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-res-x3-holder-60mm-2pcs. It can support upto 60mm reservoir tubes and many tubes are around that size.
2) Correct but depending how you set up your loop you may not require a Y splitter or T fitting. If you want to branch off your loop with one end going to some component and another to your drain port, you'll need a T fitting. You will also need a male-male G1/4 to connect the ball valve to a port like so. https://www.amazon.com/XSPC-Threaded-Male-Fitting-Chrome/dp/B007968INE/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1506368285&sr=1-5&keywords=male+male+g1/4
3) Almost all reservoirs come with 2+ ports on top where you can use one as a fill port. The EK res comes with 3.
ddogg has spoken! Seriously. Why push TR 1950x hard without custom cooling. From what I read, it puts a ton of heat at when OC'd above @3.9-4Ghz.
If I would ever build a TR rig, I have the MO-RA3 420 Pro external rad that has uber rad capacity.
Nice! Will the Titan Xps be under water as well? Beast system.Thanks ddogg and dlerious. Ordered everything from EKWB, the block for the Threadripper and two Titan X Pascals.
One of the fans is out of stock for a few days, then to get here in the US will take a bit... hopefully I can get by the following weekend.
I seem to recall shipping being relatively quick last I ordered from them. I bought 9 fans on Newegg (sold by EK) and I had them in less than a week (F4-120ER). Don't remember whether you're running 120 or 140 fans - 120's are back in stock at EK.Thanks ddogg and dlerious. Ordered everything from EKWB, the block for the Threadripper and two Titan X Pascals.

Gskill 3600 memory kits, but run them @ 3200, and a taichi motherboard .Debating on moving the unRAID box to a 1950x, any suggestions on who has stable boards and a good 128GB kit?
