Hi all. I'm the proud owner of a new build with a Threadripper 2990WX, MSI X399 Creation, 64GB DDR4 3200, Enermax TR4 360 Liquid Cooler and RTX 2080 with a Corsair 1200W PSU.
It's replacing a 4 year old i7 as a rendering workstation. During my research even the stock setup seemed to be scoring in to the high 5000s with Cinebench and 33 - 36 seconds with the Corona Renderer benchmark tool.
I'm struggling to get anywhere near those and I can't work out why? I'm new to overclocking and the only way I seem to have any stability is using the Game Boost feature.
I can't find any guides for manual overclocking with the BIOS version I'm using so not all of the settings seem to match.
The Cinebench scores I'm getting fluctuate hugely but average around the 2900 mark. I randomly hit over 5000 once but can't get close to that now. My Corona Renderer times have all been over a minute. Corona is my renderer of choice so as I see it I'm missing out on almost twice the rendering speed I was expecting.
To add to the mix I only get 48GB of my 64GB showing as available even though in BIOS I can see all 4 sticks and it knows they're all 16GB. I've since taken two sticks out so have 32GB currently. I tried swapping them around and reseating but to no avail.
So where should I start? The stock scores I've seen reported elsewhere are significantly higher than what I'm getting. CPU temps are well within range so cooling seems to be ok.
Should I use game boost or manually overclock? If so, what voltage and multiplier am I best to use for my setup? Is there anything else I need to look at?
I have the option of Precision Boost Overdrive (which is currently enabled) but is this designed to be used in conjunction with or instead of regular overclocking?
Sorry for all the questions but as you may have guessed I'm a bit stuck! Any help or suggestions of what else to try would be much appreciated.
