Thank you all for sharing this knowledge and really this is very rich and helpfull to me, to make the most economic choice possible, for now  i will use my old node as a server using just windows, and backup manually to external HDD, i will search for more info about what you said to fully understand and to implement it as good as possible.I will let you know about the resultat as soon as i setup the network.
I will look further about this software (Syncbreeze) never heard about it.

Hello Juraj!,

Firstly thank you for helping me to building my first good workstation 2990wx-it s working and i love it, i would ask for your advice, we are 2 designers now working and sharing our folders through windows shared folder, i was thinking about a freenas server our a synology nas to get all our daya in one place and use to back up our data in the NAS & in an external HDD also

Can you give me any advice , path to follow ?

Thank you

Hello,
We are a team of 2 designers we built a new 2990wx workstation (msi meg x399),we are now looking to setup a network and get all our data centralized ( 3d assets,archives & projects) and get automated backup, i ve read in forum about setting up a Nas and planning backups in external or local hdd and also found some stuff about creating a VM hosting a freenas and setting it as a Nas server that boots once or main workstation starts. And also about building a files server and backing up everything to a NAS

I m a newbie in all that stuff of network, i would like to know what do you think best for an evolvong design studio and sure without breaking our pockets

Thank you in advance for help

One warning, the heatsink on MSI MEG is massive... so the issue jppapers mentions is amplified in almost all cases that were not specifically made for high-end custom watercooling. The board basically needs high upper top, or the board to be positioned slightly lower in the case (so we're talking the bigger out of available big towers). It's very easy to obstruct this board with top radiator+fans. The Case either needs to be tall...or wide.

Definitely do not put this system into case that can't even fit Noctua tower.

If you want to stay with AIR, why not just go with good-old Fractal Define ? If you want option to high-end water cooling, look at cases Peter Sanitra and I bought quite some pages back.

I also like your case Jura the Thermaltake View 71, but as i understood i can not fit inside it 2 radioators ( side/top ) and keep 2 HDD+ 2SSD mounted; ...

The lian li 11 AIR  it's the case that Peter Sanitra have, it's a very good case with good reviews but i can not fit inside it the noctua nh 14s - i want to start my build with an air cool then upgrade to a high end water cooling system later

Will i finally decided to buy the MSI MEG X399- instead of the Aorus , for the box my wife she is in love with the Cooler master C700P ( you know that RGB  ....), so one thing left, it s the cooling, i will buy the Noctua NH 14S for now and then upgrade to a watercooling system, does someones have a part lists ready for the 2990WX ?

For cooling i don't know how to build a watercooling system neither the part needed , so i m thinking about using the corsair a150i pro for this cpu; do you have any idea about it?
IF you have any watercooling system under 250USD it will be usefull

Enermax LiqTech TR4 offers better die coverage

Yes but even the REV 2 are reported to be failling

Aorus is clear winner against Zenith (vanilla version, as there is now also Zenith Alpha but it doesn't fit 4 GPUs for the same reasons MSI MEG doesn't, the VRM mosfets push the real estate away and it wouldn't fit into E-ATX format).

Aorus has better VRM and that is more important, you need to actively cool both with good air flow or hack some fan solution on top.

It's incredibly poor state of affairs that MSI MEG and ZENITH ALPHA didn't go for SSI board format as the E-ATX ended up crippling their GPU capability.

I asked for price and the MSI MEG X399 is cheaper in my country then the AORUS by almost 80dollars, do you know if we can use a PCI-E slit riser in the MSI MEG X399 to expand to  a quad GPU Setup?
The VRM can be safe on a 4ghz overclock or 4.1GHZ( 2990wx ) in an AORUS xtreme and NOCTUA fans for air cooling the case ?

Hello all,
I'm little bit confused about the choice of the motherboard, as in the video we can see that the ASUS zenith xtreme got better VRM temps than the AOrus Xtreme x399,the MSI MEG X399 si the best but i'm going to build a GPU/CPU rendering workstation so i need a quad GPU Motherboard,do you have an idea about which one is better for a little bit OC of the 2990wx with good vrm temps ? AORUS XTREME or Zenith Xtreme ?

Also one question i'm using a lot of Corona and gonna use C4D Octane also, it need a lot of single core speed,so i have a question what is the speed of the 2990wx compared to the 2950x in a legacy mode of 1/2 ? i did researchs but i did not understand it.

Comming build : ( 2990WX- ASUS XT REME X399 or AORUS Xtreme X399-Ram 64 GB 4*16GB PREDATOR GSKILL 3000 MHZ- PSU Crosair AX 1600W- RTX 2080TI ASUS TURBO BLOWER EDITION-Noctua NH 14S for now )
Thank you
