Meet Two-Face

[Alphabear1978]

Maybe some of you have seem my previous build, the rainbow power (https://pcpartpicker.com/b/DvJ8TW), and it served me well. In a way that system is like a phoenix that is reborn in my new build (at least majority of the parts).

I'm proudly introducing Two-Face today.  Two-Face is a dual water cooled system build into the Phanteks Enthoo 719 (Deluxe 2). 

On the bottom we have my work rig 1 (teaching, research, writing papers,...) : 

• Intel 9900k (Overclocked to 5.0 Ghz on all cores)
• Asrock Z390 Phantom Gaming ITX/AC
• 16 GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4-3600 
• EK Waterblock for Intel CPU's
• AMD RX 5700 with Corsair XG7
• Corsair XD5 (Reservoir and pump)
• Corsair XR7 240 Rad
• Samsung 970 EVO 500GB

On the top we have my work rig 2 (data science, virtualization, gaming):

• AMD Ryzen 3950X 
• MSI MEG X570 ACE
•  32 GB of Ballistix Sport LT DDR4-3200 (overclocked to 3600Ghz)
• NZXT Krakken Z63
• Gigabyte Aorus Geforce RTX 2080 XTREME WATERFORCE
• Corsair XD5 (Reservoir and pump)
• EK CoolStream PE 360
• Samsung 970 EVO 500GB
• Samsung 860 EVO 1TB

To power the systems: Phanteks Revolt X 1200W Platinum

To cool the systems: 5 Corsair LL120 RGB + 3 NZXT Aer RGB 120mm + 2 NZXT Aer RGB 140mm

Why not custom watercool the Ryzen CPU?

[GDRRiley]

I would have flipped the pink and green loops pump and water cooled the ryzen chip.

I like the color theme and cables look pretty well buttoned up

Nice job!

Because I don't daily drive this part, it's a server and runs without monitor.  This allows me to see the temps of both my GPU and CPU without having to go into the system.  It runs stock at 27C, under load never goes above 50 and when I tried to overclock it, I can easily hit 4.4 Ghz on all cores at 1.28v and stay within limits with a Cinebench R20 of 10228, I probably can push it further but there is no reason to do so.

It was for me more important to give the cooling to my GPU as this will be under load a lot.  CUDA cores are very good at calculating data science problems but this produces a lot of heat, hence the 360 RAD.  Also NZXT has one of the best coolers on the market, yes it's an Asetek cooler but for one or other reason they work better.

See my reason above why I choose to take an AIO for it.  Flipping the 2 loops would have made it easier LOL, now I had to puzzle to get them both connected and the fact they are running through each other makes it unique
