Design Rationale

  • The Threadrip​​​p​er Pro ​​9985WX gave the customer a high amount of single-core performance for lightly-threaded loads, and near-maximum multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed under stock operation, air cooling with a high-speed 4U cooler is recommended. Noise is not a concern as this machine will be colocated in a datacenter.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of functionality and room for extra add-in cards.
  • The customer was fine with our recommendation of 512GB of RAM.
  • The customer requested a 2TB Gen5 NVME for OS storage, 8TB Gen5 NVME for main storage, and a second 8TB Gen5 NVME for backup storage.
  • The customer was fine with our recommendation for the RTX Pro 5000 Blackwell 48GB.
  • The overall design of the build meant that a 1600W power supply was recommended.
  • We used a 4U rackmount chassis to fit the build.
  • We used our high-end fans to ensure proper airflow and static pressure, as well as extra fans on the RAM.
