My desktop is my dream build.  Although I'm considering replacing it for a Xeon rig because nowadays I really care more about absolute reliability than total performance.

 

Anyhoozles...the 840 Evos are shit.  Pretty much all Samsung SSDs are unreliable garbage I wouldn't touch between hardware problems and Samsung having fuck-zero clue how to put out decent firmware.  If it's not Intel or Crucial (intel/micron) then it doesn't exist.

 

4 way SLI is pointless.

 

1500W PSU is unlikely to be able to support all that by itself i f you overclock heavily.

 

No one has that kind of hardware and doesn't also have the $ for custom loop.

 

Asus RVE isn't that good.  It's not worth the price premium over something like the Deluxe and don't even get me started on how unreliable the BIOS is.  They've had multiple BIOS releases recently where it's like "nope...have to revert back cause I can't overclock on this one".

Workstation:  9800X3D|| Asus X670E ProArt Creator || MSI Gaming Trio 4090 Shunt || T.Force 7800CL34 || Corsair AX1600i@240V || whole-house loop.

LANRig/GuestGamingBox: 13700K @ Stock || MSI Z690 DDR4 || ASUS TUF 3090 650W shunt || Corsair SF600 || CPU+GPU watercooled 280 rad pull only || whole-house loop.

Server Router (Untangle): 13600k @ P-Core only || ASRock Z690 ITX || All 10Gbe || 2x8GB 3200 || PicoPSU 150W 24pin + AX1200i on CPU|| whole-house loop

Server Compute/Storage: 10850K @ 5.1Ghz || Gigabyte Z490 Ultra || EVGA FTW3 3090 1000W || LSI 9280i-24 port || 4TB Samsung 860 Evo, 5x10TB Seagate Enterprise Raid 6, 4x8TB Seagate Archive Backup ||  whole-house loop.

Laptop: HP Elitebook 840 G8 (Intel 1185G7) + 4070 RTX Thunderbolt Dock, Razer Blade Stealth 13" 2017 (Intel 8550U)
