Architects PC Build Challenge

[Ozzy-Dee]

Hello Linus,

I am a new subscriber to your great contents. I have been trying to reach out to you and I thought this may be the best way. I am an architect working out of Trinidad & Tobago. Purchasing PC's for architectural work is a nightmare. Often ends up too expensive and don't receive the required output. Very often, everyone is misguided by buying a gaming PC to be used for 3D modelling. As for the little I know, most gaming PC's emphasis is on graphics and of course processing power. What Unreal is doing for the gaming world is making 3D models read much lighter using less processing power. As it regards 3D architectural modelling, polygon count plays a huge factor in latency. Hence high processing power is needed with balanced graphics. I have put together a list of pc components (See below), I am putting forward a challenge for you to build a pc that must be build and tuned to handle a polygon count of over one million or a 3G 3D model file (I can provide). Using Archicad 25 software. With the intention of owning this pc when you are done, I will sponsor the PC parts needed. Here are the specs I have selected :

 

Mother board	Asus ROG Zenith II Extreme
CPU	AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX
CPU Cooler	ProSiphon Elite SKU: PE-240-BLK
Memory	Predator DDR4-3600Mhz: (Kit of 4x32 - 128GB)
Graphic Card	Radeon PRO W6800 Graphics
Power Supply	Seasonic PRIME PX-1000, 1000W 80+ Platinum
Chasis	Mid Tower Case-NZXT H710i

Linus Tech Tips does not sell PCs. You might want to try contacting a system integrator, Puget Systems might be a good place to start. Since you've already come up with a parts list you may just want to buy the parts and build it yourself.

I understand. I did try Puget Systems. But the limitations are on some of the individual components that they do not carry. But I will send the list to them. Thank you for responding.

You know what you want, just do it yourself.

Yes I do. But I'm no PC engineer. I don't have a clue as it regards tuning.

There really isn't any tuning required. Turn on xmp and enjoy. For a workstation like this, stability is key. Don't overclock, don't use untested hardware.
