Hello all,
I finally received my Threadripper 1950x setup and did a quick test using Stockfish 8, (test all 64-bits versions) and did never had at starting position more than 16-18'000 kn/s. I did set it at 32 & at 16 CPU, nothing changes.
I look at Ryzen Master and it says that my 16 CPUs are all at 3.7 GHz.
I dont know what is different into my setup when compared to the nearly 31'000 kn/s reported by Hardware.fr site?

Does some of you have an idea whats wrong with my setup?

Thanks for your response and help
I haven't found a SMP but tried SMT without success, it's even worse.
I hope to find out but it's really annoying

Install HWMonitor on your pc.
https://www.heise.de/download/product/hwmonitor-53313
It shows you the real clockspeed of every core.

Hello,
I have tried and all indicates OK. All cores used at maximum speed/frequency.

Did you control your PC for viruses?
If it has no virus I propose you to set BIOS to DEFAULT, that is CPU core frequency 3.400 MHz and SMT (~hyper threading) = AUTO/ON, and to set the threads of Stockfish = 32. In this case you should get about 30.000 Kn/sec.
If you set SMT = OFF and threads of Stockfish = 16, you should get about 20.000 Kn/sec.
During test you ought to run on your PC the Stockfish ONLY, no net, no virus defender, no music, no video, no anything.
If your speeds differ much from values above, maybe the installation of AMD Chipset Driver for your motherboard, or BIOS of your motherboard, or your type of memory, or settings of memory is bad.
Try to install the last BIOS driver for your motherboard maybe this help you.

Re: Threadripper 1950x but StockFish 8 with low KN/s?
I was wondering if that could have anything to do with my Asus ROG Zenith Extreme motherboard having only 1x8pins CPU power connector connected and not the 2nd one.
I thought that if in case of issue that would be stability but not performance once the CPU indicates that all cores are used at 3.7 GHz ?
