good morning everyone!
first of all: thanks for this helpful thread!
I'm trying to configure a new workstation, but I'm still uncertain with a few choices.
This will be my first PC I configure on my own, so I hope there is no big mistake in there.
My configuration so far:
Case: FRACTAL DESIGN DEFINE 7
or should I go with the FRACTAL DESIGN MESHIFY S2 because of better airflow?
I'm a bit scared that the MESHIFY S2 will be louder and get more dust inside
CPU: THREADRIPPER 3970x
Mainboard: GIGABYTE TRX40 AORUS MASTER
or should I go with a ATX board MSI TRX40 PRO WIFI for example?
Graphic Card: SAPPHIRE RADEON RX 5700 XT NITRO+
or should I go with Nvidia because of the Radeon driver issues?
RAM: CORSAIR DIMM 64GB DDR4-3200 Quad-Kit, CL16, Vengeance LPX
will there be a big difference for the CPU between 64GB and 128GB?
Cooler: NH-U14S TR4-SP3
I know there is no really perfect solution for cooling the CPU yet...
I heard that you can add an additional Noctua NF-A15.
do you think I should go with the dual tower solution?
or probably even waiting with buying the PC till there is a proper solution?
cooling the cpu is still the point i'm most unhappy with.
SSD01: SAMSUNG 970 EVO 500 GB
SSD02: SAMSUNG 860 QVO 2 TB
Power: BE QUIET! STRAIGHT POWER 11 Platinum 1000W
Thanks in advance for your tipps
