No upgrades till Volta & 8th gen HEDT build...

Now, its likely fun to try and bin those (hopefully he knows HOW to do it...

)... but hell, if I had 20K, I'd still just go to Silicon lottery. My time is worth more than 20K just to bin CPUs.

So you sent $20k in processors but didnt send the extra 200-$300 for the correct power supply.

I'll bite....... which one? A 1600W watercooled unit?

Several trays of i9's..... Several TRAYS.... of i9's.... People look at me sideways when I tell them I have *maybe* $1200 bucks worth of hardware in my main rig, and I work in the software field (QA.)

Unless it's just a case of Daddy's money, I want to know where I went wrong in life and what I need to learn from him to get it right lol.

How many trays of i9's are we actually talking about, I suspect 10 each in a tray? I'm sitting here debating the costs on a purchase of one 1TB SSD to replace my ageing HDD and still suffering from the recent expense of my latest upgrade adventures. I am speechless on the amount of money spent here......

Hey now folks, why the hate of rich!! Come on!

Back to topic. I am curious what kind of RAM the OP will be running.

I'm not hating, I want to know his secret. If I could buy several trays of i9's I wouldn't care at all who hated me lol.

There's no hate, I'm genuinely interested to see how this one pans out! To the OP, keep us updated with the progress.

I'm not hating, I have over $25k worth of graphics card cards that are all mining at my place. But I buy the correct equipment that I need from the start.

Vego · Nov 14, 2017

In the 1st post I wrote that I am still waiting for 2 components... As it turned out its 3 not 2 and the T2 EVGA 1600W is already on its way
be patient Obi-wan, be patient

EarthDog · Nov 14, 2017

LOL... wow. You can power 2 of your systems with that...

time to delid...

@Vego if you ever want to toss something out give me a holler.

xkm1948 · Nov 16, 2017

I was expecting DDR4-4000 with 64GB or something. I am disappointed OP

Vego · Nov 17, 2017

Hardware is there...

POWER is there...

Everything is working

DELID is done also, do you think it was worth it?

EarthDog · Nov 17, 2017

That fluid looks like... umm...

Anyhoo, looks great man, well done on the aesthetics.

Solaris17 · Nov 17, 2017

how did you shim the cooler so you dont crack the die? any tips? going to be doing the same.

Do you think the old AMD AXP shims would work?

xkm1948 · Nov 17, 2017

Duuuuude, you need faster RAM! Just DDR4-3000? Weak!

im thinking so. Im not sure how the core height is on these chips though.

Vario · Nov 17, 2017

@Vego I am really impressed with the temps you are getting after delid.

People spend that a grand on phones, $1200 rig is no biggie. Damn, people can be judgmental.

Is it bare die???

Id think the old shims would NOT work due to different heights. It needs to be pretty exact.

natr0n · Nov 17, 2017

Need some cinebench scores also cpuz bench.
