Turin motherboard ??

[Markfw]

I can't find any mention on Turin compatibility. I just made a lowball offer on a Turin 64 core ES.

Does anybody have any info in this I missed ?

They are supposed to be SP5 socket and a direct replacement for Zen4 .
I would check your motherboard manufacturer website for possible bios updates.

 

[Markfw]

OK, I have a Turin 9555 (or 9535) ES on the way ! 64 core 360 or 300 watt.3.3 or 3.5 ghz base.

So, I am excited that Turin is officially announced, and blows Genoa out of the water. Should not be long before I get my BIOS.

Unless the Genoa mother is not supported, in which case I need a new motherboard and memory (6000 instead of 4800)

 

[Markfw]

Oh, and for those of you that think the 9950x is only marginally better, check out the benchmarks linked on the CPU forum. Its absolutely a KILLER. Makes Genoa look like its standing still ! Both Tomshardware and phoronix !

 

[Markfw]

Oh, and on ebay there is one left. Make him and offer, and I bet he accepts (he did for me)

OK. I am downloading the BIOS for the Turin, (but the motherboard has to be rev 2.0)

Bios 3.0 !! Not tonight but will work on it tomorrow if my motherboard is rev 2.0 !

Link here, but then you have to search for H13ssl !

DAMN, my motherboard is rev 1.01 .. I have to buy a new one !

I just order one from newegg. $669, but if its not the right revision, they accept returns ??? Without return shipping charges ??? amazon is $799 !

 

[cellarnoise]

Thats how they get us to buy new junk!... Mine is 1.01.. also... I need new junk...

Like in the olden days.. No Bios for you!

 

[Markfw]

If I have to return it and get one from amazon for $799, I will do it ! I also need 6000 memory ! Thats a minimum of $1200 for 12 sticks.

 

[Markfw]

So, I went to order 6000 memory. Only 8 available on amazon, and 2 on newegg. I got the 8 for now. I don't want mixed.

 

[Markfw]

So, if I am right I will have the correct motherboard, but probably not the right bios, and only 128 gig of ram, but it will be 6000 so only 8 slots instead of 12. and at the EARLIESTS on the 16th. I will keep you all informed.

Edit: I found a 4 pack of the same memory at newegg. $489. So about $1400 for memory ! OUCH !!!

Does DC really need that much RAM? Anyway you could do some tests to show the difference using different RAM configurations?

 

[mmonnin03]

Some tasks use over 1GB per so I always get 2GB per thread to allow for OS overhead and GPU tasks which can also use several GB of system RAM depending on the project.

The big reason is to use all 12 channels for the memory. An8 12 8 gig sticks is not enough, so 192 gig is the only config that works (with identical sticks, which you want)
