First AMD Threadripper Motherboards Pictured - They Look Glorious

[EarthDog]

If glorious means looks like every other mobo... you have my vote!

A few typos in the article too..

Yeah, the one with the gold colored ( like a stretched out IBM \ AMD chip of the passed), heat spreader if i remember right. And yes they look pretty awesome today and i think AMD has just surpassed that 3 fold .

They should put gold plating on the heat spreaders.... Then I'd buy one for sure. And to hell with "Threadripper"... call it the Ryzen Pro.

Oh my. All that memory banks. I don't need much more than 16GB, but empty slots makes my skin crawl. I'd have to go the 8x 2GB route. Oh, but there are no such a thing such as an 2GB DDR4 RAM stick.

If you want Threadripper why would you do stuff that does not like more than 16GB?

Compiling, mostly. RAM rarely is an issue, but the extra cores do make a mighty difference in compile times.
