Excellent review TTL!
I can't get quite the same peaks on PBO in cinebench R20 (stuck at ~28K), but it chews renders, VMs, and anything else I can throw at it.
I find I am hitting current / power limits before I hit the heat limit when I OC. I can get 4.2 all core at 1.38V, and can hit 600W+ on the CPU (according to AIDA), but if I hit it with a prime load, despite the temps being below 95C, it will hit OCP limits. Does the Alpha have a higher than 200% power limit over the Z2E?
Getting the heat out of this chip is nearly impossible, I'm running a quad + single 120mm (so 5 x 120mm) just for the CPU loop, and an EK waterblock for the threadripper chip (needs to be a big cold plate), and even so I see delta T (above the coolant) of 70C. Reminds me of the pentium 4 days (except this time with the performance to match!)

I was not planning on getting one at all but I did get one because there was a silly deal going on so I jumped on it and got one! now I need to build the rest of the PC...
Feel free to post more about this beast! personally I am more curious about the Ram and the different speeds they say these boards can handle. Aside from the limits of Windows, it says it handles 3200Mhz ram. I even seen a few charts showing if I got 3800mhz ram it does better too but only if you OC the processor etc.... but then you see things like "only supports 256gbs of 2666mhz ram... or 3200mhz of 128gbz both in quad channel configurations" for the best results.
But it is $400 USD cheaper to buy the 2666Mhz kit over the 3200 kit if ill never be able to use the full 3200mhz.. Obviously the best way to test is to render massive 4-8k files that needs all the ram only can give.. *edit* but the loose timings and CPU clock speeds with the frequency on the ram speeds is suppose to change how things work for performance.
Also the m.2 4.0 speed tests... Lots of things I will be testing myself once I get mine up and running!

That sounds very interesting. I would love to read about your findings.
