- Ryzen really likes fast RAM

- Better cooler

- Case is a hotbox 

- Why Vega Frontier

What software are you using? I can tell you right now the H80i isnt up to the task of cooling thread ripper. Look into a TR4 socket specific cooler like Enermax's Liquitech TR4

ram is out of stock, and get a 240-280mm AIO instead.

Would a dual 120 work then?

I'd actually recommend a 360mm RAD for thread ripper. 16 cores and 32 threads is a monster

Unless you really NEED 64GB of ram for rendering... (I omited it)

P4000 was the best quadro I could fit in here, not sure the AMD firepro equivalent.

That's nearly no change based on the changes we recommend. If you are going to ask for advice maybe actually listen to us...

I would, along with others, suggest an aio with a TR4 full cover plate. It does make a difference.

 

Using dual channel memory kits leaves a small chance that the memory will not work in quad channel. Given the work being done, this matters. I would suggest using a single quad channel kit that is on the motherboard's memory QVL. This will assure quad channel operation and leave four memory slots free for a potential upgrade.

 

Depending on the software being used, you may well find that a Quadro offers much better performance.

Why is a quadro p4000 better than the frontier edition card with double the ram? Is it just architechure? Also, I understand that a 4x16 kit is better than a 8x8 so I will go with that. I will be going with a full cover cooler as well. Thanks for the help so far!

Depends a bit on your software and models. GPU drivers are the key. See the Solidworks numbers in the Linus video below
