Done!

20171031_103605.thumb.jpg.91c1109c93450e3a2f09430329df9483.jpg

 

So...I built a system for our needs: Quad-graphics card are a relic from the past for gamers, but very much relevant for scientific computing. 

 

Specs

CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X

RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 96 GB (6 x 16 GB)

Motherboard: ASUS Zenith Extreme

GPU: GTX 1080 Ti (top one being an MSI Aero variant)

Storage: Samsung 960 Evo x 3 + Crazy 5 x 3.5" inch HDD dock in the 5.25" bay

CPU Cooler: H100i v2 

PSU: EVGA 1600W

Case: Corsair 900D

Fans: Corsair ML120 Basic

Now, if I said that my choice of case, and graphics card (in particular, the MSI Aero) didn't have ulterior motives, I would be lying. The parts below should give you an idea of what is to come.

man if you're going to have that much radiator , you should have just bought an actual radiator , heck would probably be larger and cheaper than 3 "pay more for pc specific" radiators.

We've finished installing the waterblocks on the GPUs. We specifically chose the reference design PCB 1080Tis for this build since the conversion process makes them into a 1-slot card. This allows us to use the 10-gigabit ethernet that comes with the Zenith Extreme board that was previously unmountable due to the dual-slot graphics cards.

 

We have chosen to use Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut for the GPUs for their great performance in a recent roundup. It was a bit of an ass to spread, quite thick compared to more traditional thermal compounds, hopefully it'll be worth it.

Forgot to upload the picture of the graphics card prior to the block installation. Nothing unusual, as the instructions except for the spreading of the TG Kryonaut over the die evenly. I found the EK thermal pads not very sticky and was worried that I hadn't peeled off the layer correctly, but turns out that is the way it is.

So... we're done. Everything went very smoothly. Bent tubes fine, filled fine, no leaks. Booted fine. Overall, a very easy installation.

Sauron'stm Product Scores:

Spoiler

Just a list of my personal scores for some products, in no particular order, with brief comments. I just got the idea to do them so they aren't many for now :)

Don't take these as complete reviews or final truths - they are just my personal impressions on products I may or may not have used, summed up in a couple of sentences and a rough score. All scores take into account the unit's price and time of release, heavily so, therefore don't expect absolute performance to be reflected here.

 

-Lenovo Thinkpad X220 - [8/10]

Spoiler

A durable and reliable machine that is relatively lightweight, has all the hardware it needs to never feel sluggish and has a great IPS matte screen. Downsides are mostly due to its age, most notably the screen resolution of 1366x768 and usb 2.0 ports.

 

-Apple Macbook (2015) - [Garbage -/10]

Spoiler

From my perspective, this product has no redeeming factors given its price and the competition. It is underpowered, overpriced, impractical due to its single port and is made redundant even by Apple's own iPad pro line.

 

-OnePlus X - [7/10]

Spoiler

A good phone for the price. It does everything I (and most people) need without being sluggish and has no particularly bad flaws. The lack of recent software updates and relatively barebones feature kit (most notably the lack of 5GHz wifi, biometric sensors and backlight for the capacitive buttons) prevent it from being exceptional.

 

-Microsoft Surface Book 2 - [Garbage - -/10]

Spoiler

Overpriced and rushed, offers nothing notable compared to the competition, doesn't come with an adequate charger despite the premium price. Worse than the Macbook for not even offering the small plus sides of having macOS. Buy a Razer Blade if you want high performance in a (relatively) light package.

 

-Intel Core i7 2600/k - [9/10]

Spoiler

Quite possibly Intel's best product launch ever. It had all the bleeding edge features of the time, it came with a very significant performance improvement over its predecessor and it had a soldered heatspreader, allowing for efficient cooling and great overclocking. Even the "locked" version could be overclocked through the multiplier within (quite reasonable) limits.

 

-Apple iPad Pro - [5/10]

Spoiler

A pretty good product, sunk by its price (plus the extra cost of the physical keyboard and the pencil). Buy it if you don't mind the Apple tax and are looking for a very light office machine with an excellent digitizer. Particularly good for rich students. Bad for cheap tinkerers like myself.

Thanks for all the support, we are very happy with the thermal performance and flow rate of the loop. So its nice to know that a single loop for a quad1080Ti + 1950X using a dual D5 is suitable =).

Slightly belated annual maintenance, but finished without anything going wrong.

 

- Upgraded 1950X --> 2990WX

- Upgrade TR4 block to a monoblock

- Re-bend some tubes

- Changed coolant to Navy

- Up my photography game since last year

Honestly, don't know since its a linux workstation, but I would imagine the Nvidia drivers won't play nice with the graphics cards (or at least 2 of them would be completely paperweights).
