Design Rationale

  • The Xeon Gold 6354s give the customer a great amount of single-core performance for modeling, and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks.
  • To ensure the CPUs runs at full speed, air cooling with a single-tower cooler is recommended. Liquid cooling is more powerful, but not quite as reliable.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality.
  • The customer wanted at least 512GB of ECC RAM, 1TB was an easy upgrade.
  • The customer requested 2 2TB NVME drives.
  • The customer was fine with our recommended video card.
  • The overall design of the build meant that a 1600W power supply was recommended.
  • We used our default full-tower case to fit the build.
  • We used our highest-end fans to ensure proper airflow and static pressure.
