thanks all. Ordered a second 360 now.

Hey all, thanks again. Finally got the ax1600i below 400€ in the UK.

Sorry for being unclear. RTX 2080 Ti (2 of them) and Threadripper 3960x will be water cooled. The RTX Quadro 4000 will not be water cooled.

Read a lot about water cooling but am not sure how many radiators I need. What it is about: New build for content creation is in the works:Most relevant load will be GPU und CPU rendering (runs full load for 24 hours and even more). During that the PC is used for other things at the same time (e.g. working on new textures, running new cloth simulations while IRAY, Lightwave or Blender are rendering in the background).Planned or already bought components: Threadripper 3960X - ordered today 64 GB GSkill Trident Z ram (option to go 128 GB) - in the parts box already sTRX4 board with 4 x PCI x16 and 10GB ethernet - ordered today (asrock creator) 2 x RTX 2080 ti founder edition (option to go 3 x) for GPU calculations - one is in the box, one to be ordered 1 x RTX Quadro 4000 for display - in the box 3 x Samsung M2 SSDs - in the box 2 Samsung SATA SSDs - one in the box, one later when required Space Navigator and CAD mouse USB - in the box a few other usb devices (stick, external HDD, keyboard) - will be taken from old machine NAS over ethernet - not decided yet water cooling for 2080 ti GPUs - in the box (two EK Vector something) water cooling for CPU - ordered today (XSPC RayStorm Neo for AMD sTR4) pump - EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 Reservoir pump combi 3 x EK-Varder 120 EVO static pressure - in the box 1 x EK-Coolstream XE 360 60mm - in the box Case Phanteks Enthoo 719 - ordered today Is the one radiator sufficient for those components? And is the one pump combi enough even if I would need more radiators? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for your quick replies. I also understood that 1200 watt will be to risky. With two 2080 maybe, but if I add another one later it will be to tight. Found some other 1600 / 2000 watt PSUs online but it seems mostly Corsair AX and Seasonic get always good recommendations and in forums there seems to be a common understanding those are the PSUs to go for. Unfortunately the Seasonic 1600 watt version is earliest expected for Q2 2020 as a rep wrote over at overclock.net. Seems so it will be the ax1600i then (hope I can find it at a good price). Regarding the SSDs. Yes, I was thinking forth and back regarding Samsung but in the end anyway bought 3 M2s and 1 SATA (2 x 970 Evo Plus, 1 x 970 Pro, 1 x 860 Pro - bought when there were good deals). Reason was that I have 4 Samsung SSDs in my current system and they work and work and work. Not a single issue in many years. Maybe it is brand loyality because of positive past experience. By the way the current machine is about 8 years old now (Dell dual Xeon workstation) and it still works with no issue (except from the usb 3 chip is not supported anymore ?. Because the new machine should also work for some years I like to get reliable components for it.

New user and already a question: A little overwhelmed by all the PSU options, opinions and reviews I found online. Thougt, better ask here for suggestions: New build for content creation is in the works:Most relevant load will be GPU und CPU rendering (runs full load for 24 hours and even more). During that the PC is used for other things at the same time (e.g. working on new textures, running new cloth simulations while IRAY, Lightwave or Blender are rendering in the background).Planned or already bought components: Threadripper 3960X 64 GB GSkill Trident Z ram (option to go 128 GB) sTRX4 board with 4 x PCI x16 and 10GB ethernet (something like ASRock Creator or a real workstation board if they become available soon) 2 x RTX 2080 ti founder edition (option to go 3 x) for GPU calculations 1 x RTX Quadro 4000 for display 3 x Samsung M2 SSDs 2 Samsung SATA SSDs Space Navigator and CAD mouse USB a few other usb devices (stick, external HDD, keyboard) NAS over ethernet water cooling for 2080 ti GPUs and CPU Acording to the online wattage calculators I need min. 1500 watt to be on the save side. Hope to find something below 400 € but main concern is reliability. Read the PSU tier list. In that only the Corsair ax1600i seems to fit. Are there alternatives? Thanks for your help.
