CPU for 4 way RTX 2080

[JakePeralta]

Hey..

Looking for the right CPU for a computer (meant for machine learning) that will use x4 RTX 2080.

thanks for helping

Something with lots of PCIe lanes?

Threadripper perhaps?

2950X? Yea I thought about it but I must make sure that it's right (big money)

You think that it will do the job no bottleneck?

Yup. You could split the 16x slots (16 lanes) to 2 16x slots (8 lanes) with not issue. 

 

Meaning you could do 8 GPUs.

 

Not that you would be able to find a case for it

First thing, thank you (to everyone)

What Case would do the trick (so it won't bw too hot in there) if I use only 4 RTX 2080s?

Any full ATX case should do. And say the Designarare board with good spacing. I dont have a full overview over how the lanes are layed out on that board, but you should be good

Wouldnt hurt to go for a fulltower to ensure expandibility and airflow.
