Design Rationale

  • The Threa​d​ripp​er ​79​70X gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for lightly-threaded workloads and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks. While a 7960X was also reviewed, the 7970X was a more significant upgrade from the previous i9-13900K.
  • 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, and an upgrade path.
  • The customer was fine with our default memory, 384GB was an easy upgrade.
  • The customer was fine with our default storage setup.
  • The customer preferred the RTX 4090 for maximum general-purpose GPU compute, and a large amount of VRAM.
  • The overall design of the build meant that a 1200W power supply was recommended.
  • We used one of our full-tower cases to fit the build.
  • We used our highest-end fans to ensure proper airflow and static pressure.
