The Future Threadripper Windows 7 Build Will Be Based Around WRX80 Chipset And Contain 5995WX Cpu
← INDEX

In one of [my previous CPU rants] , I mentioned those very powerful Threadrippers
that can be used in a Windows 7 configuration. But only now I have realized that due to the enormous amount of heat they dissipate,
there are no air cooling solutions capable of cooling such systems appropriately, not even in the premium segment like Noctua.
A 350W TDP only covers basic CPU workloads, heavy real-life scenarios will surely generate more than 500W of heat.

So, I’ve decided to stick with the 280W TDP [Threadripper 5995WX] (based on the WRX80 chipset),
since I’m simply way too lazy to mess around with any water cooling system.
I’m attracted to conventional premium solutions like the [Noctua NH-U14S TR5-SP] ,
which should handle the 5995WX just fine [Noctua’s wiki confirms it].
So, there will be “only” 128 threads in the Windows 7 Task Manager.
But anyway, it’s quite rad for a 20-year-old operating system.

And yeah, the system will be much cheaper since it’s based on DDR4 memory.
So, I will go with an 8-channel, 128 GB configuration.

I think this is the most extreme Windows 7 multicore system in the whole world.
If anyone has real-life evidence of an even more powerful machine in terms of core count,
[please let me know] . I’m just curious about it, purely academic, not sexual.
