MSI X399 MEG Board for 300W of Threadripper 2 | Computex 2018

2018-06-06
everyone we're at the msi booth now a copy tax 2018 looking at a new x 399 motherboard which is interesting because thread ripper 2 is just around the corner looking at august for that release so this is more relevant than you might think if you were thinking in terms of thread Rwanda before that this video is brought to you by thermal takes view 37 case the view 37 focuses on highlighting custom PC builds with its full panoramic window and tinted front acrylic and our thermal testing the view 37 performed reasonably well when considering its looks focused build which is partly thanks to the airflow design and the removal of a bottom power supply shroud for a balance of looks and performance check the link in the description below for the view 37 this is the mag X 399 creation motherboard it's pretty beefy in terms of the VR on there's good reason for it so we talked about the gigabyte board previously the new X 299 board from them and more or less boils down to the vendors have to prepare for something like 250 watts stock potentially up to 300 depending on core account and final voltages all that stuff so it's a lot of heat to deal with through V core VR I'm especially so for this one they have set up a 19 phase sort of it's a 16 plus 3 but it's really ultimately a double date phase so double date phase B core using IR 3555 MOSFETs that's international rectifier MOSFETs they are 60 amp power stages so pretty serious B Corp erm will talk about a more with build joint at a later date but double up 8 phases for that and then a plus 3 for the V SOC which i think is also 35 55 not a 100% positive but if it is super overkill on the V SOC next up is the voltage controller so 35 201 for that for the V core voltage controller and then for V SOC voltage controller it's the 35 204 which we also just saw on the gigabyte motherboard so kind of new on that one haven't seen a whole lot of it but that's what they have for the BRM components from the BRM heatsink it's got a heat pipe running through it so this whole thing is the primary it's the B Corp erm it's 16 power stages basically with the chokes where the inductors are all on it I don't know if the rating is on the caps unfortunately but they should get plenty of airflow so should be fine not a big deal so that's the B Corp erm this is V SOC the heat pipe runs through it the kind of the BRM heat sink is not 100% final might be some changes before finalization we're hoping to see some more fins dice through the top we provided feedback for that because if they're dealing with that much heat 250 300 watts every little bits gonna count for vcore BRM cooling so beyond that though just having a massive PRM does mean it will spread the thermal load over a wider service area so to help deal with the amount of heat load coming off of thread refer through B Corp erm other components so for PCIe slots one two three four of those four x16 length and they are wired for by 16 by 8 by 16 by 8 if you're curious about the electrical wiring on em that to SSD is mount one here there's another one that goes in here another one here and it also is going to come with an add-in card for EM that to SSDs which we showed last year from amasai and it's basically just a PCIe card that's och it's more MDOT two SSDs on it we showed it previously if you want to see it go check out that old video and I think that covers most of this stuff the only other kind of ancillary thing to talk about is the absurd amount of fan connectors on it in a good way it's got a ton of fan connected I haven't counted actually but plenty of them on the bottom playing outside playing on the top so the only thing really to be concerned about with the X 399 from the vendors perspectives is TDP we know for sure 24 cords coming out and those will impact ultimately what kind of power draw is expected to go through here 24 cores probably gonna remain the to die active configuration and with the other two being spacers basically 32 core probably going for full 4 dies for active dies on thread over to so that's all we know about it right now but as always check links in the description below for more information subscribe for more thank you for watching go to patreon.com/scishow and razaaq's helps out directly toward our cameras exit sign up for a mod matt I'll see you all next time you
