I love your videos often are about creators pc’s instead of all about gaming. Thank you… I play games too. But my rig needs to make money before play time… lol
😇👊
Very nicely done, thank you!
This is an excellent workstation - fast, powerful 24 core (48 thread) CPU, and fantastic motherboard expansion possibilities. Gonna keep anyone happy for a long time. Healthy manufacturer competition is always good, long may this last!
😇
Ground should stay connected with the power switch off. It'd defeat part of the purpose of a ground otherwise. That is the case should be grounded as soon as the unit is plugged in regardless of the state of the power switch.
Excellent build and that is basically exactly what I am looking at building. Brilliant 😀👍
Enjoy!
A beautifully executed build! I was blown away by the 18TB mechanical drive, I had no idea that these were even available :)
😉
I Had 8 TB HDD in 2018
Well done. Great detail.
Extremely useful video, thanks.
Excellent man thanks for this as i have a AMD 1950x
No problem 👍
which keyboard & mouse do you prefer for long lasting has good look, palm rest and best features?
thats awesome
An awesome channel I calculated the price and its really good 4500-5000$ so not bad the only thing is that the gpu should be 500$ but it's more than a 1000$ so if you can wait you should because you can save up to 800$ if you wait for gpu prices to go down.
👍😉
Solid build
😉
pretty nice ser
Hi! Awesome Video, its very relaxing.
One question:
The Ram you are using is 3200Mhz, why does it show up as 2400Mhz in the Bios?
Thanks!
It's coz the xmp is not applied yet. Once it is it will run at 3200 (1600) speed. :)
Ah good - answered my question about where to plug in cpu cables. Makes me wonder what the duck I had plugged in prior….it turned on sooooo….
nice
nice build. What happens to all the PCs you build?! This was back when Threadrippers were semi-affordable...
Very good video.
A couple og notes though. You installed the PSU upside-down. The fan needs air to cool it. This is a the verge-level mistake.
The grounding part is questionable but not terribly wrong. There is no need to turn it on. The ground of the psu case is directy connected to the ground at the outlet. All you need to then is to use the psu chassis as a ground reference by touching it and the pc case simultanously. That would keep everything at the same electrical level.
Otherwise good job.
Actually the PSU can be installed both ways. The case doesn't have a solid top panel on top of the PSU so the PSU can take the air from the case and push it out from the back. That way it exhaust the 'warm' case air out from the back and cools the PSU down.
Loved it.
Is there any room for another GPU?
On this motherboard you can put a maximum 2 triple-slot GPUs, 3 double-slot GPUs or 4 water cooled GPUs.
Hi, very nice & informative videos.
Is it is good to with AMD Threadripper 3960 (Zen 2) or RYZEN 5950X (Zen 3) for heavy workloads where the tasks (Molecular Dynamics simulations, Deep Learning, etc., will run for 2 - 3 days.
For the above works, I choose to use RTX 3090 considering its vRAM, CUDA cores, Tensor cores.
So, I have to use it 24/7.
Can you suggest me whether I have to go with Threadripper 3960 or RYZEN 5950X
The reason you would go with Threadripper, is either for more cores, more RAM, and or more PCI-e lanes. If a max of 16 cores, 24 PCI-e lanes, and 128GB RAM is enough for your requirements, then the 5950X is the one for you. If you need more than that, go with Threadripper. Seems in your case that your GPU is the more important consideration. If you need your machine to be a server as well, run virtual machines, process workloads and jobs from multiple clients, go with Threadripper. Your software system requirements should indicate the best machine components for the job.
That's a nice system and good video. Just a little pointer though...
I've seen a few of these tutorial videos and while they aim to help, they miss an absolutely crucial, and very required aid - at no point are we shown the applicable pages in the included manual. It's as if the manual never existed. The manual includes CRUCIAL additional info never mentioned in these videos. While it's always good to point out that mistakes can be easily made, the builder, for example, would never, ever have attached the front panel header to the motherboard USB header if they followed the manual.
The proper video would be showing and discussing the relevant section in the manual - and at the same time, pointing this out on the motherboard while performing the build - and while this will add (only) a little extra video time, you should do this...unless you're recommending builders throw away their manuals?
What about airflow and pressure?
naice!
Hi guys, I bought a 3960X with RTX 3090 GPU 4 months ago. But I really need some help with the 3960X Threadripper.
A couple of weeks ago, I moved to a new city and removed the GPU from the cabinet. After arrival, I did a bit of cleaning to remove the dust (very gently) in the fans & the cabinet. So, I disassembled the components (Motherboard, CPU liquid cooling, RAM, SSD) altogether and didn't touch any of these components.
Then I reassembled it, but the system reaches 50 when connected to a monitor.
Web surfing - temperature goes to 55 and sometimes even 60, 65/ 70 and keeps fluctuating.
Previously, the temperature was between 45 - 50 while using 24 cores and the GPU.
Any of the techies can help me to resolve the issue ???
Thanks in advance
loved your build walkthrough was thorough and clear.. helped me alot
Please check your audio(especially on the sponsor clip). the audio is clipping.
Does this stand?
Does it support other GPUs in the same series, like RTX 3080 or 3060 or even 3090?
YES, it supports all GPUs!
@@theTechNotice Thank you. The video's very helpful. I am also trying to build a machine myself. The build seems exactly what I need.
I am always confused with the cable management and the airflow management, like how many fans should I get to put into the box.
How's the compatibility of the hardware with the Linux system is also my concern.
Is there any possibility if you have a Ryzen Threadripper without the special screwdriver and without the carrier frame/bracket to buy these missing parts anywhere? I tried AMD Support and anything else.....
Not sure, my best bet would be ebay...
@@theTechNotice ok thx
Is this good for running DAW(FL studio)? I usually run 5-6 virtual instruments at once and around 15 channels on the mixer with a bunch of plugins
Oh yes, probably abit of an overkill though... :)
@@theTechNotice do you think a 5900x setup would perform better than the 3960?
I’m thinking of going with a 5950x
08:19 - My Alexa started playing "Shut your mouth" by Garbage 🎵
🤣🤣🤣👍
40 degree at bios only?
I will use RGB once they make it part of the functionality. I have enough wires to deal with.
Amazing video!! Just a heads up the threadruooer sucks for gaming! While it kills things from a production standpoint and helps my business run effectively if you try to play games on their the frames are about 10-25 lower than what it should be. If your getting things for mainly gaming don't buy
Yeah 100% right. I'm glad this one isn't used for gaming. :)
@@theTechNotice lol good! My dumbself bought the 2950x a few years ago and ended up using it for productivity and gaming.....Worst gaming experience ever lol! 5950x here I come
Don't spread misinformation! I've been using the 3960, as used here, for getting on close to 2 years now (damn that was fast!). Its primary use is as a workstation, however, I do game on this too - I've rarely had an issue with any of the many games from my Steam, etc collection, and any that did cause issues was solved by putting the CPU it into 'Gaming Mode' via Ryzen Master (lowers the number of active cores). Additionally, any fps reduction is minor - Threadripper CPU's are binned for the best, so the 3960 shown here actually performs very close to the 3950X! Of course, don't buy a system like this just for gaming, lol.
@@ChrisM541 it's not misinformation, it's fact. Literally have a 2080ti with a 2950x on my workstation and it's gets about 15 to 20 frames less than the other setup I had with an i7. While it rips through anything regarding editing or work related programs, if you play primarily games its not the best. Think about this, on cyberpunk I would get a dip of around 50-60 frames while the gamer build lowest it dipped to was 75-80. Those dips below 60 you can tell the difference. Just do your own research
@@GGnooREE AGAIN - STOP SPREADING CRAP...!!!
--> There is a WORLD of difference between the performance of Zen+ (your 2950x) and Zen2 (3960x, as used in THIS video).
--> Since you clearly didn't pick up on this rather large 'detail' then I'm gonna state you don't even have that AMD setup, since you WOULD have known this.
Have a nice day :)
18:56 when you wish so hard there is another surprise but you where fooled by expectations...
reminds me when a friend of mine built himself a thread ripper system and somehow the top pcie slot and 2 ram slots don’t work…
I wonder why 🤣
Probably needs to reseat the CPU :)
@@theTechNotice is it that simple? dang he is going on since 2 years ago with this issue
would the nzxt Z73 360 mm be good for threadripper 3070?
Nope :)
@@theTechNotice thanks. Do you suggest purely Aircooled instead? Also the threadripper is it still a viable option for a new editing build since it’s getting quite old now. Specs wise it’s still a beast but what would you suggest ? Cheers 🙏
Yes, because when you are building a Threadripper PC, you definitely the best “bang for the buck”
$ amount now?
You don't put the CPU fan on until you mount the motherboard in the case.
er, no. You put the cooler on the CPU and bench test the system before putting it in the case
not related to the build but that backdrop of yours looks way farther than it is. I was surprised when you casually reached out and put stuff back on the shelf. for a second I thought you got some stretchy arms or something 😂
haha LOL, I use to go to school with someone named Christian Martin :)
Got that shallow depth of field
Screw it with confidence.. #verge
😂😂😂😂
bang for buck?! more like i would have to bang for a buck to get this!
Gotta know man... What brand is that shirt?
Haha Primark! 🙈
@@theTechNotice haha thanks. It's not always easy finding a good floral pattern like that.
1920x for about £100 used or 1950x for about £150 is best bang for buck threadripper build.
I wouldn't go with the 1st gen TRs, they did a lot of improvements on the 2nd and a big jump on the 3rd Gen TRs.
Any real workstation should have 4 m.2 slots. One for your program, one for conformed media, one for disc cache, and one for assets 🤷
i did 3 pc build in my life but watching CPU installation still gives me anxiety.
And boom it’s not working XD lol But it’s a clean build bruh
🙈🙈 It's easy to make those mistakes LOL
And I thought my cable management was bad
18tb ? Lotta a storage

Imagine thousands of analysts at CIA HQ with AMD Threadrippers on their desk.
Guess how many are full time gamers/gamblers/visitors to online porn sites?
So he did Threadripper not the Pro?
Ok not much different from the old days
Him: If you've never built a PC you can follow along...
Also him: brings out a threadripper
If you've never built a PC and can afford a threadripper you can have someone else make it for you lol. However... I also watched this entire video and it was EXTREMELY well made.
HEllo i Love your videos Please reply i aM so Exited for new videos (please read capital letters)
ahh ys
1:02:04 - Now what you want to do is install a REAL Operating System. Not Windoze.
All this video is useless if you connected the front panel into something that says USB! Hahaha, but sick build.
I know hahaha, It was such a rookie and easy mistake LOL, I saw Linus make the same mistake recently, so I didn't feel that bad anymore hhaa :)
1:01:32 This is what happens when you don't know how thermal application works.
I just have to ask, what do you do for a living? I searched for your work footage or even a video reel and nothing. Do you just do this for fun with a ton of coin or are you a cinematographer? No offense really want to know how you recommend pc builds for workstations without seeing in depth workstation use. I have no doubt almost all of these builds (you’ve posted) will be more than adequate for average Joe video editing. I’m confused as to what you actually do because there is a ton of crucial information in these videos that isn’t being talked about for the “beginner” audience you’re more than likely catering to a , it is the most basic explanation of putting parts together and I have to add some of these vague statements, example “some thermal paste is conductive” is so incredibly vague and doesn’t give the watcher a way to understand what in the heck you just said. Thermal paste and liquid metal aren’t even in the same category. Honestly itwould just be great to tell people why you choose a certain part for what reason instead of buying all the components to make “a system”... work.
Truly curious and hope I’m not coming across as inconsiderate; thank you man.
He said at the beginning of the video that he won't be going into why he chose these specific parts in this video. If you were expecting that info, that's on you. Clearly you haven't seen many (any?) of his other videos because he goes into great depth about these things. Watch some of his other videos. They're really good info.
Small child training for a Threadripper? Seriously?
Talk way too much on a build
