Generally speaking my retirement computer use is limited to most old folks use email, bill paying etc (game on a console). Come this July able to do some extra work per my retirement contract so figured something stronger than a two core laptop was needed, primarily CAD/CAM & GIS, related to land development, mining & hydrology using Autodesk Civil3D & Global Mapper. The latter primarily used as a GIS file type translator to Civil3D and much more reasonably priced than the Esri offerings.
The Parts
CPU, AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X
CLC, Cooler Master ML360 RGB TR4 Edition
MB, Gigabyte X399 Designare EX
RAM, G. Skill Trident Z Series 64GB, Model F4-3600C17Q-64GTZKW
OS Drive, Samsung 860 EVO Series M.2 2280 500GB SATA III
Storage, WD Blue 3D NAND 1TB Internal SSD - SATA III
Optical, Pioneer 4K UHD Blu-Ray Burner
GPU, Gigabyte Radeon RX 590 x 2
PS, Seasonic Prime Ultra 1000W 80+ Platinum
Case, Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 (CC-9011030-WW)
OS, Windows 10 Pro 64
Getting Ready
TIM used Arctic MX-2 using the credit card method, have tried a couple different methods on the big Intel CPU's just never looks right when you pull the HS.
The AIO's plate doesn't cover the whole CPU HS.
Tubing from the Rad makes it so I can't get two 140s mounted on the top, one needs to be a 120
Testing
Overall no problems at all during the testing phase other than a little pump rattle that has corrected it's self after a little use and was more pronounced the first time I had it in it's final location, for reason.
After moving the box from the test location and hooking up monitors, printer and a few other things no post until BIOS cleared and set defaults, resetting the test settings no post. Moved it back to the test location reset the settings boom I was in Windows. Turns out it was monitor RAM related with one monitor no problem DDR4 3266, three monitors best post DDR4 3166 but problems with the monitors refreshing correctly so ended up at DDR4 3066.
In place
Sure all are wondering why the table top fan, well I brain farted and made all the the fans exhaust. Took me three or four hours to figure it out (Folding), all the time thinking I'd made a big mistake for not going with a custom loop. CPU was maxed at 68c (Auto BIOS Settings) averaging a little above 3.5 and still boosting on occasion above 4.0, hottest VGA 83c dropped to 72c when manually setting fans to 100%, VRM 62c new one for me so not sure. After realizing the front of the case was a lot warmer than it should be pulled the side panel and added the fan. CPU, VRM and hottest VGA dropped 10c. Few other things dropped a couple C, some didn't change at all. GOOD airy case.
