Remember the old Apple Ad "I'm a Switcher"? Well after 40 years with Apple I'm Switcher from Apple to PC. Apple is now a phone company.  
 
This is my second build after the switch. First was a dual Xeon build with (4) 1080Ti's. I'm a retired Aerospace Engineer and did a lot of CAD and Graphics work during my career. I enjoyed it so much it's now my hobby in retirement. (Never did like to Golf).  I use a lot of different software but currently Solidworks for modeling, Cinema 4D for modeling and animations & Redshift for rendering.
 
This is my first build ever with an AMD CPU. All my career in engineering I used Xeon UNIX workstations as that is what they use in Aerospace. Very expensive boxes in the 70's and 80's. Like $70k per box and the CAD software I used was like $50k per seat annually.  This new build of mine is 100's of times faster than those vintage boxes I used.
 
Anyway, the main goal for this build was to build the strongest workstation possible inside a standard PC case. This workstation sits on my desk very close to me. I didn't want a mining rig, rack mounts or anything external like MoRa3's etc. My office is fully air conditioned and luckily I'm half deaf so fan noise is never an issue with me. Led Zeppelin blew out my left ear drum at a concert in 1974, indoor venue. I've never been able to hear from my left ear since that day. I feel lucky I didn't lose both.
 
I dual boot this new build with Win 10 for Workstations and Linux Ubuntu. I still keep a Mac attached via a KVM switch but find myself using it less and less.
 
Temps:  After 1 hour Hybrid Render, CPU 64 cores @ 100% utilization, GPUs @ 95-99% utilization.
 
CPU:  66-68c
GPUs: 50-55c
Water: 42c
 
I don't do any gaming but I certainly could with this rig. It's insane fast. This build is actually more suited to Creating games.
 

 

 
 
I modeled my custom Radiator Assembly to scale in Solidworks to insure it would fit in the space I had planned for it.
