Hi Doug, Not to derail the discussion, but a quick question you say desk side cluster is it a single machine that will run a vm cluster?

In any case, I'm working with these processors right now. On the new Ryzens, the power usage is actually quite tunable. There are three settings. 1) Package Power Tracking: The PPT threshold is the allowed socket power consumption permitted across the voltage rails supplying the socket. 2) Thermal Design Current: The maximum current (TDC) (amps) that can be delivered by a specific motherboard's voltage regulator configuration in thermally-constrained scenarios. 3) Electrical Design Current: The maximum current (EDC) (amps) that can be delivered by a specific motherboard's voltage regulator configuration in a peak ("spike") condition for a short period of time. My goal is to tweak the 105W TDP R7-5800X so it draws power like the 65W-TDP R5-5600X This is desk-side cluster low power stuff. I am using extension cable-plug for Limulus blades that have an in-line current meter (normally used for solar panels). Now I can load them up and watch exactly how much current is being pulled across the 12V rails.
