Design Rationale

  • Threadripper Pro gives the customer the widest performance in the overall workflow. While the i9-13900K is slightly faster for a few applications, the 5965WX allows for a much higher platform use and long-term functionality.
  • Air cooling with an extra CPU cooler fan was recommended for daily-use workstations, being that there isn’t a good full-cover AIO available for Threadripper Pro.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a ton of desktop functionality.
  • The customer wanted at least 128GB of RAM to stay balanced with the rest of the machine.
  • The customer was fine with our default storage setup.
  • After talking with the customer, a single top-end consumer video card made the most sense. While multiple video cards would have been even faster for Redshift, the customer had a strict budget to work with.
  • The overall design of the build meant that a 1300W Gold power supply was recommended.
  • We used our default full-tower case to fit the WRX80 motherboard
  • We used high-pressure fans to ensure proper cooling for the overall build.
