ThreadREAPER - New Build

[bsodmike]

My new 1950X Threadripper build.  Waiting on a proper RAM kit (Samsung B-die) to arrive, so running some RAM that I already have till then.

What are the specs? I love the aesthetic red to the build

Cheers mate!

• 1950X Threadripper / 16 Cores,  32 threads
• Gigabyte X399 Aorus Gaming 7 - got this because it's cheaper than the Asus ROG Zenith Extreme but has a few more options than the MSI/ASrock alternatives.  IOMMU groupings may be an issue but I'm looking into it.
• Corsair AX860i PSU
• Corsair 570X RGB case with Tempered glass - all round.
• Samsung 850 Pro 240GB SSD
• SanDisk 960GB SSD
• EVGA GTX1070 SuperClock Black card // Just to get to UEFI, sometimes to log into linux; but this box runs 99% as a linux headless rig.
• RAM: Planning to get a 32GB kit of 3200 MT/s Crucial Ballistix DDR4 RAM.

Ripper not Reaper

You can change the led color on the aio pump/cpu block using corsair link which you can download on their website. You can change it to red a it looks sick

I think he's just naming the build ThreadREAPER as opposed to using the wrong name.

Hehe, spot on... is it that bad a name though?  I was thinking of 'Reaper' as "Shinigami" (japanese term for Soul Reaper) (fellow otaku here..)

Well I wanted a twist on the Threadripper "branding".  JackTheRipper would be cool if you happened to be name Jack, but I'm no Jack - just a Mike.

Thanks Colin, yeah I need to do this in Win 10 - right now, this has been 100% tested in Linux and there's no Link support there. On my 6850K rig, as I recall each boot up it goes back to white (or red if there's a pump failure) and the colour is only applied once Windows boots.
