AMD Threadripper 2950X

So drop it one more wu by setting it to 49% instead of 50%, that way it can't use anything except the physical cores.

You would be better served, and get alot more credits, by running 2 or more wu's at a time on the gpu instead of the cpu wu's. I have an AMD 480 and am closing in on a rac of 450K per day running 2 wu's at a time on it, your 2080Ti should eclipse that!! I personally don't run cpu units at projects that have gpu wu's, but each person can make their own choice.

There is a way to do that by assigning cpu affinities for the physical cores to the app or apps running cpu tasks.  In Windows, you can use Process Lasso.  In Linux you can use schedtool.  I use schedtool to run the cpu science apps on the physical cores and let the virtual or HT cores support the gpu tasks.

I have that motherboard and it is very good, very solid and very fast. With Ryzen and Threadripper, the cpu speed is tied to the memory speed.  So it is beneficial to run as fast memory as you can afford and tune.  I run my memory at 3466Mhz with CL14 Fast timings.  Also, the motherboard does a good job using the builtin overclocking features of TR's XFR2 and PBO.  Just enable Performance Boost Level One or Level Two in the BIOS.  I can keep my cpu cores above 4.1Ghz on all cores fully loaded all the time.  That speeds up the cpu tasks.  You do have to have very good cpu cooling though.

Ryzen and Threadripper LOVE Samsung B-die memory for best compatibility and clocking. So any memory kits made with that memory has the best chance of running easily at stock XMP or overclocked considerably beyond with ease. I like G.Skill memory, Trident-Z variety.  I don't need or want any RGB as that adds to instability.  These are my goto kits that I use in every machine.
