Hi,
I decided to buy an Epyc 7351P for CryptoNight mining based on Patrick's article about performance vs. Threadrippper 1950x: https://www.servethehome.com/amd-epyc-obliterates-threadripper-monero-cryptonight-mining/
I have it up and running now, and I'm only getting up to 160 H/s.
I've tried everything I can think of or find online, and I'm not able to improve the hashrate. I do have a Threadripper 1950x up and running, and it's performing much closer to expectations.
Does anyone with experience have any advice?
My system:
AMD Epyc 7351P
Supermicro H11SSL-i
1 x 16 GB DDR4 RDIMM
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
XMR-Stak 2.2.0 (all-in-one)
My config:
What I've tried so far:
Is there any more helpful data I can pull from my system?

- Large Page Support / Lock Pages is set up correctly
- xmr-stak is running as administrator
- I tried mining on Debian 9 before I tried Windows, and I was getting very similar results
- I've tried a variety of different CPU affinities, and this is the best combination I could achieve. It's the exact same configuration that I'm using successfully on my Threadripper 1950x.
- I've read that I may need to add more DIMMs to make use of dual or quad channels. I haven't been able to test that, because I only own one. I'll buy more if I need to, but I want to be sure about it first, because they're not cheap. I'm guessing that this is not the problem though, because I'm experiencing about 10x less performance than expected -- not 2x or 4x.
Is there any more helpful data I can pull from my system?
