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.

Customer Review

My company purchased two computers from Top Flight and they are amazing! We chose them from a connection on LinkedIn and we couldnt have chosen a more suitable and competent company to build PCs that meet our needs!

From the beginning Top Flight were excellent communicators and made sure we knew exactly what we were getting. Providing updates to components from todays market throughout the process.

They built and mailed our PCs surprisingly fast and they were ready to start rendering shortly after unboxing and plugging them in! Thanks Top Flight!

I highly recommend Top Flight Computers for your next update.
