Watercooled with a mix of EK and Aquacomputer parts, 360mm and 240mm fat rads, dual pumps (DDCs 18W), Aquaero LT controlled pumps and fans. 32GB Ram, 500GB M.2 Samsung OS / Apps drive, 4 x 4TB Toshiba storage, probably a AMD Threadripper 1900X, Asus MB + AMD Vega 64 GPU powered by a be quiet 850 Platinum psu. OS will be Win 10 Pro, Linux Gentoo and an OS/2 (Arca Noae version) vm for giggles.
I think you'll be pleased. The MB SATA controller in my old (2007) PC died and I've almost completed my new build. Just tinkering a bit around the edges. I'm not into overclocking or water cooling, and I'm not a gamer (obviously
). SQL Server and Visual Studio get used as often as photo processing, so this is not very sexy. But it's very fast
. i7-7700, 32GB RAM, 512GB Samsung 960 Pro NVMe M.2 for OS/Apps, 2TB RAID1 (I'm using the WD Black from my old PC), Asus Prime Z270A MB. Win 10 Pro.
I use Corel ASP Pro, which used to be Bibble Pro. Bibble claimed that they took advantage of multiple processors. As far as I can tell from quick tests, they still do. Image editing changes happen instantly.
BTW, if you want to see real water cooling, check out IBM mainframes from the 1970s and 1980s.
