Discussion Which motherboard for Threadripper CPU?

[fobos8]

Hi guys
I'm going to get a threadripper 3960x which I'll use for work. Looking for a motherboard is difficult. I usually go off buyer reviews on Amazon or Newegg etc but there's very few reviews because this isn't a mainstream CPU. So I'm lost! Please help.

I'll not be overclocking it - the clock speeds are fine, I need the core count for processing laser scan data.

Best regards, Andrew

I am ASUS-fan for more than 20 years.

I would take this one ( good reviews, too):

ROG Zenith II Extreme Alpha | ROG Zenith | Gaming Motherboards｜ROG - Republic of Gamers｜ROG Global

ROG Zenith II Extreme Alpha

www.asus.com

Thanks for your reply Alex - I looked at that board but on Amazon (.co.uk and .com) it gets panned by users reviews and only gets 3.5 out of 5!
