Design Rationale

  • The Ryzen 9 9950X3D gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for general use and gaming, and more multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, liquid cooling with a 360mm liquid cooler is recommended.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality. They requested 10G networking, and verified that the motherboard was compatible with their PXE needs.
  • The customer agreed with our recommendation for memory.
  • The customer was mostly fine with our recommended storage setup, upgrading the second drive from 4TB to 8TB.
  • The customer was fine with our recommended video card.
  • The customer was fine with our recommended power supply.
  • We used a larger mid-tower case to fit the build. The customer requested a model without a glass panel.
