Not sure though if it’s available outside of Europe.Īdd an external DVD drive and a copy of Win10 Pro and you’ve got all parts needed to start building… I found the Enermax Platimax 1700W to fit my specs nicely. Which is nice for caching and quickly booting.įor the power supply I decided to get something hefty – just to be sure that I’ll be able to upgrade to increasingly powerful (and power hungry) GPUs. Hard disk wise I opted for a 1TB m2 SSD which in theory should be a bit quicker than your plain vanilla SATA SSD. I like hybrid cooled GPUs thoug – when you stack 4 graphics cards directly on top of each other it makes sense to remove the heat through some sort of tubing. A decently sized air cooler can keep your components cool without blowing your eardrums too. Keeping the CPU cool is a job for the 140mm Noctua cooler. Also it comes with enough case fans pre-installed. It fits four GPUs, lots of cables and some hybrid coolers (if you’re into them) pretty nicely. Just about the most subtle case you can get. The case is a Fractal Design Define XL R2 – nothing too fancy, no windows, no excessive LEDs no glaring colors. But that’s not so much an issue if you’ve got a case without windows. I went with modules which I knew worked.) The only annoying thing are the very colorful (and bright!) LEDs scattered all over the board. (Threadrippers can be picky when it comes to RAM modules. For now I filled half of them totalling 64GB of RAM. It’s got 8 RAM slots which when fitted with 16GB memory modules can be filled to 128GB of RAM. Four PCIe x16 sots spaced apart two slots can accommodate four full grown GPUs – just what I wanted. The mainboard I chose was mainly based on its mechanical layout. Went with the 1920x as it was only 90€ more expensive than the slower 1900x yet reasonably priced in order to not cause bad headaches should I decide to upgrade to a 2950x in the future. So I opted for an AMD CPU and mainboard here. While during the past years Intel seemed to have an edge ove AMD when it came to multithreading performance, AMD seems to finally have caught up with their new Threadrippers (19xx and second gen 29xx) at a very attractive price point. Also I was trying to hit something like an optimal price/performance ratio. I went mostly with components I’d built machines out of previously.

However I’m a bit hesitant to schlepp my dear Entagma-computer out to clients. And get asked to bring my own workstation to clients more frequently. Enjoy the resulting chaos.Ī word of warning – if you decide to build a PC yourself you do so at your own risk. It finally happened – here is the long feared hardware episode you’ve not been waiting for! As Mo recently started freelancing, he decided he’d need a new computer.
