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, liquid cooling with a triple-fan liquid cooler is recommended.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality.
  • The customer initially requested 512GB of RAM, and opted for 1TB after seeing pricing.
  • The customer requested quad 4TB NVME drives.
  • The customer already had an RTX 5090 32GB.
  • The overall design of the build meant that a 1600W power supply was recommended.
  • We used a large full-tower case 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.

Customer Review
