I would like to build a Ryzen desktop. Can anyone recommend a good
motherboard?
I'm planning on a first-gen, because the second-gen has similar
stability problems as the first-gen had, and AMD hasn't released
errata for the second-gen yet (as far as I know...I would love to
be wrong).
I would like to be a cool kid with a Threadripper, but I can't
justify the cost, so I'm thinking maybe a Ryzen 7 with /only/ 8
cores. :)
Ideally, I want an Intel NIC, ECC memory support, and a 3-year
warranty.
Thanks for all the responses. They were very helpful. Here is what
I ended up building:
Mobo: ASUS Prime X470-Pro
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7GHz 8-Core
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2 x 16GB DDR4-2666 PC4-21300 C16
Video: ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
Disk: Samsung 970 EVO 500GB TLC NAND M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA G3 750 Watt 80 Plus Gold ATX
Fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Universal CPU Cooler
It's running FreeBSD head. BIOS version is 4018 (2018-07-12). So
far, it has been perfectly stable. No crashes, no lockups. It has
been my work-from-home desktop for just over a week now. I'm
overclocking the memory a little, but nothing else. The NIC works.
The sound works, though I've only tested the rear analog output. The
video card works with the nvidia-driver, currently 390.87. It's
driving two 2560x1440 monitors over HDMI.
The only problem so far: I can't get NUMA enabled. I've set Memory
Interleave to "off", but the BIOS still doesn't generate an ACPI SRAT
table. I'm still working on this.
You won't ever get NUMA enabled.
Because Ryzen 7 2700X is not a NUMA processor! :)
Only Threadripper and EPYC are.
Desktop Ryzen has a "slightly NUMA-like" thing going on, it's
recognized as 'cache groups' in the line:
FreeBSD/SMP: 1 package(s) x 2 cache groups x 4 core(s) x 2 hardware
threads
But it's not actual NUMA.
