  1. Hi, here's my updated build: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB, SATA (MZ-76E500B) AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X, 16x 3.50GHz, boxed ohne Kühler (YD295XA8AFWOF) 64GB HyperX Predator DDR4-3000 DIMM CL15 Quad Kit 8GB MSI GeForce GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G Aktiv PCIe 3.0 x16 (Retail) ASRock X399 Taichi AMD X399 So.TR4 Quad Channel DDR4 ATX Retail Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3 Tower Kühler EVGA GQ Serie 750 GQ 750W ATX 2.3 (210-GQ-0750-V2) Anything that is unbalanced or need changes?
  2. Thanks Dimitar! Sounds good to me. I was thinking about the Noctua cooler as well. I've always had Noctuas so far. Although I'm not 100% sure if it will really handle the threadripper well. Anyway I'll put a new build together and ask for some final feedback. Thx, Grischa
  3. Thanks Ernest! What about this board ASRock X399 Taichi? Quite cheap.
  4. Hi Nikolaos, ok great! I think I'll stay with the Enermax cooler - not because of overclocking but because of noise ;-) The 1070GPU I think does make sense. Last question about the mainboard. Not sure if I should take the Gigabyte X399 AORUS Xtreme or the one you suggested. (Gigabyte X399 Designare EX). What is the main difference? Cheers, Grischa
  5. Hi, thanks for your recommendations! Just a couple of questions: - why would you choose the NZXT Kraken over the Enermax LiqTech TR4 II ? - You really think it's worth the extra 200€ for the GPU ? I'm not using any GPU render engine. Best, Grischa
  6. Hi guys, I'm building a new workstation. I'm working with Cinema4D and Corona Render and Photoshop. So no need for highend GPU but decent CPU power Here is my setup so far. What do you think? Any cahnges needed? CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X 16C/32T Mainboard: MSI MEG X399 CREATION EATX (Retail) PSU: 550 Watt Seasonic FOCUS Plus Modular 80+ Gold RAM: 64GB HyperX Predator DDR4-3000 DIMM CL15 Quad Kit Cooler: Enermax LiqTech TR4 II 360mm CPU-Kühler GPU: 4GB Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC 4G Aktiv PCIe 3.0 x16 (Retail) SSD: 500GB Samsung 860 Evo
  7. Nice! Thanks for the info. I'll go for the SR0KX as well. Did you get them from ebay? around 110€? Best.
  8. Anyone knows if it really makes a difference for a rendernode to have the SR0KX instead of the SR0H8? Thanks!
  9. Thanks! Well i have the chance to buy a couple of them used from some local dealer here. I was just wondering because they habe 2x 4+4 pins insteas of 2x8 but I guess that's fine.
  10. You think a Corsair AX760 would be ok for tis dual xeon e5-2670 setup? I don't need any GPU power. There are quite cheap atm.
  11. Very interesting thread! I was wondering if it makes any difference building a workstation like that or going for a rack solution like the Dell Rack Server R7610 2HE Intel Xeon 2x E5-2670 Ram 64GB. It has about the same specs and is available at ebay for about €1000. I'm just thinking that the rack solution is better for future expansion or adding some GPU's. But I'm not really an expert there ;-) Cheers.
  12. Hi Dimitris, thanks for your feedback. Well I just like the Fractal Design and as I'll see that thing everyday sitting in my office that's worth the extra money ;-) But I'll probably go with the cheaper MB. Unless prices drop until I sold my X79-Deluxe. I don't need Wireless atm. And although I'll add some NAS soon I agree with you that it might be better to add that when needed. Anyway thanks again!
  13. Hi there, ok I decided to go with the new Haswell-E ;-) But I'll keep my current i7 4930k as the main workstation until DDR4 RAM becomes a bit cheaper. That way I can start the new node with 16GB. If I'm aible to sell my X79-deluxe for a good price it's even cheaper than buying another 4930k node. so here is what I have chosen so far: MB: Asus X99-A (or is it better to go with the Deluxe?) CPU: i7 5820k (the 5930k does not make sense I think and the 5960x would be nice but is just far too expensive) RAM: 16GB whaterver is available, probably some crucial 2400 PSU: Coolermaster V650 GPU: very cheap SSD: Samsung Evo 120 GB Cooler: Noctua NH-15 Case: Fractal Define R4 It's mainly the MB I'm not sure which one to take or maybe even another brand? Thanks again guys!
  14. Hi there, I did some calculation over the weekend an maybe I should really go for the new haswell-e. Which kind of RAM would you guys suggest? Is 2400 good enough or should I go higher with the new DDR-4? Is this one any good 16GB Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4-2400 DIMM CL16 Dual Kit? Or better this here: Corsair DIMM DDR4-2666 (not available at 8GB yet) Thanks!
