High End Desktop

Since Sup Forums is filled with Intel/AMD shilling and shitposting lately, let's try something a bit different.

Friendly /hedt/ thread. What kind of setup do you have (or plan to build) and what kind of work do you typically do with it?

I'm looking to build a system that allows Linux host, Windows guest with GPU passthrough.

That would be pretty sweet. Would need 8 cores, 16Gb RAM (minimum) and a GPU for both Linux and Windows.

It's a minefield of information though to find what I need.

Nobody needs moer than 4 cores, don't pretend you do because you fucking don't, you're just shilling to make AMD's crap relevant when it's just crap for general and normal work 99.99% people do.

Then why does Intel make 6 core i5s in next generation?

shut up

...

shut up

You know it's the cold hard truth you dumb pooshitters

Answer my question. Why Intel does it?

What case are you using thar OP?

...

Wow I love how this forum is such a shithole that it's literally impossible to have a discussion without getting shit up by shills and shitposters.

DON'T TALK ABOUT HEDT DON'T TALK ABOUT HEDT DON'T TALK ABOUT HEDT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Wendell on level1tech on YouTube tests everything on Linux and it's VM capabilities. Like looking at iommu groupings on motherboards. He has long videos showing how to set up what you are describing on ryzen and Intel systems

Not shitposting, but putting you dumb pooshitters down to earth and under the ground where you belong.
I'm sorry if you don't have the intelectual capabilities to argue, but that comes with being a retarded streetshitter

>Wendell on level1tech
Is a AMD shill through and through, his videos are completely compromised and aren't objective, they're filled with bias.
On top of that he's a pseudo intellectual fat fuck.

Damn, why is a case like that ,with no drive bays so hard to find

...

This board needs a purge, badly.

Sorry to disappoint you.

>AMD unboxed

>180W TDP
>uses 250W

AMD, deceiving again.

You first streetshitter

>Total system consumption in watts
You are really, really, really, really, really stupid.

You really, really, really, really, smell of shit

>t. Intel shill

He used and still uses an Intel, albeit an older one, on all his personal machines but there is no denying ryzen is owning Intels new line for WORKSTATION-like loads. You know, the type of work his channel focuses on: compiling, rendering, and hosting virtual machines

t. likeminded fat fuck


AMD CPU, for the 1%


I AM THE 1%
I AM AN AMD MISSILE
WHOOOOSH!

Who the fuck needs that shit?
Just get a NVMe, external storage and save 50% of space while still having full atx support...

Congratulations you've single-handedly ruined this thread.

Heh amd kids....they don't having GAMING performance like me... All street shitters while I am hardcore GAMING heh...lol at their GAMING performance haha they arent pc GAMERS like me. fucking lol street shitters cant power GAME like me

I ruined your ass

Reminder to report shitposters.

OP here, damn that was a quick thread de-rail. Is it that hard to resist the bait?

My current machine is an 8-year old shitbox:
>Some Intel lga1156 motherboard
>i5-750
>freebie Quadro 4000 from work that replaced a GTS 240
>Maxed out at 16GB RAM
>Barely have hard-drive space left

New build, parts currently in transit:
>MSI X399 mobo
>Threadripper 1950x
>2x 1070 FE
>32GB RAM
>1200W PSU
>Re-using Samsung 850 SSD from current machine
>1TB HDD

I do 3D, so it will be nice to finally have a machine that's as good or better than what we have at work. The machine will be a workstation/render-node. It will be used for:

>Houdini
>CPU and GPU rendering with Mantra and Redshift respectively
>Zbrush
>UE4
>A bit of Adobe stuff like After Effects/Illustrator/Premiere/Photoshop

32GB is the absolute minimum for a 3D workstation IMO, but the budget...
I will eventually max out the RAM, add two more GPUs, an M.2 and more storage.
Pic is the most recent workstation they built at work.

>downgrading to AMD
You'll be literally crying on Sup Forums about how nothing works in a few weeks, or not, you might just return it all and buy Intel again without even saying anything on Sup Forums out of sheer shame

There's one shitter in here shitting up the thread, seems like nobody cares.

...

This is my experience.
AMD looks good on paper, but in reality... well it's better if it stays on paper is all I'd say, not trying to take any sides here but what's fact is fact.

>Not a new IP in the thread
>Only one shitter in here shitting up the thread
Calling samefag.

Are you that retard that got banned from Amazon for shitting up Ryzen reviews?

Are you that retarded pooshitter that eats camelpiss and shit?

U M A D E L I C I A

I might have a chance to get an used x99 mobo with a 5820k, might be a nice upgrade from 3770k. Should I go for it or save up for ryzen/x299? I considered a 1920x but I have no use for 12 cores.

Ryzen completly obliterated the need of X99. It's literally pointless by now.
Even if you want to do hackintosh you better going to Ryzen than X99.

Do you need HEDT features? X399/X299 will be way more expensive as a whole than used X99 gear, but AM4/Z270 might be more worthwhile upgrade if you don't need tons of cores, lots of PCIe lanes or more than 64GB of RAM.

>AM4/Z270
Can't use 32GB DIMMs?

vs. what? the average AMD shill on Sup Forums that bought Ryzen only to dedicate a thread per tab to advertise and seek validation for their purchase?

I bet most of the manchildren on Sup Forums who shill AMD don't even own a Zen chip.

Holy shit guys, just fucking ignore the bait. stop being so fucking autistic. HEDTG might actually be a good thread and you fags are letting yourselves be baited by a UMA DELICIA

There's nothing to discuss, Threadripper has no competition in HEDT space.

Yeah, I've seen his video, but it highlights that there is an NPT issue with AMD (been present since Bulldozer apparently) and so it's not yet a perfect thing. There are work arounds, but hopefully now AMD has a competitive product, they will work on improving the situation.

But I could still teeter towards an Intel system for it. Especially as integrated GPU means no need for two GPUs.

Not to my knowledge. At least I've never heard of anyone putting more than 64GB into the mainstream platforms.

I might find a use for PCI passthrough with that 5820k. It's just that a friend of mine is upgrading and is getting rid of x99 stuff. While AM4 might be good investment (if it's going to be compatible with zen2, that is) I'd prefer to avoid Z270 (even though it supports the iGPU for linups while I'd passthrough the big boy GPU to the guest OS), especially that the upcoming coffee lake meme is rumoured to not be compatible with it. how did that go, "a socket a year keeps the goyim in fear"?

The I9s are going to get buttfucked in heat, but they will most likely beat the 1950x for the 16 and 18 core variants. Mind you, the thermal throttling might be bad

I have a 1700x.
I use it for games, multitasking, VMs and video editing.

Would have been considered HEDT before march.

DESU, it's now at a point where it depends on what you want to do as to which is the "better" system for you.

They will still cost more (much more).

DESU now is DESU?

>is your CPU thermal throttling, goy? I just might have a solution to the little problem you're having there~!

>AIO
>High end
jej!

I have to say I'm really curious how Intel will handle the heat output and what the minimum cooling requirements will be for those chips. I forget what the base clocks on the Xeon 18-core parts are, but I don't think it was anywhere near high enough to best the 1950x in Cinebench.

I think the 7980xe will for sure top it, but man, it's going to be spicy.

...

The 7980XE will run at boost for 9 seconds and throttle back to lower clocks, which is more than enough to top 'bursty' benchmarks like cinnebench and common blender scenes

My current system is a trash compactor that's good enough for general modeling and texturing work, but I'm at the point where newer versions of many programs simply refuse to run and upgrading doesn't make much sense without replacing everything at once.
I'm thinking of finally splurging for a 1950x-based system with 32GB RAM and a 1080Ti to start, and building out from there. Was considering an X99 system for the longest time, but can't really argue with that 3000+ CB score.

The 18 core Macaco Lake has to keep very high clock speeds to make it worthwile. I mean if it costs 4 times a threadripper, you might as well go for an EPYC.

18 core Macaco Lake costs as much as 7551P.
It's DOA for werkstations.

ok then, get a Ryzen 5 1500x

Come to my level negro.

When I run my office pc it runs all 16 xeon cores all fucking day

>vs
>vm
>sql
>all sorts of other software
>all run simultaneously

Theres a reason i use 8 cores/socket, 2 full sockets and 64 gig of ram.

>nobody needs more than 4 cores

Maybe if you need to call Pajeet when you can't change your wallpaper.

Literally the only thing going for Intel is fanboyism/brand loyalty.

>the I actually do work, really I do! argument native to AMDfags

Poo in the loo Rajeesh.

Intel just works,especially with Linux.

You can scrape by with better value if you believe in amd fine wine technology ™ where they finally release working drivers/patch issues

>Especially as integrated GPU means no need for two GPUs.
Intel's HEDT has no iGPU.

Did u ever read my post? I use Xeons.

Pooshitter is too poor for Xeons

SOPA

I would buy one only for the e-penis.

>Everybody obssed with thread ripper
>When Epyc's 16c cpu will cost 250USD less and prefrom more or less the same.

TDP is not the same as power consumption. Also that chart shows total system power so even if they were the same in this case (possible given how the TDP was determined) you couldn't tell.

Why would it cost less? doesn't the 8 core threadripper costs more than the r7s?

Are you referring to the 7351P? It is cheaper, but it's clocked lower and the motherboard is likely to cost much more than x399.

>i5 7500
>gtx 1060 6gb

outside of games I really don't do anything that a Pentium cant. with that in mind, my next upgrade wont be at least until the following happens.

>next gen consoles are out
>intel have 6 core cpu offers
>gddr6 vram is out
>ddr5 ram is out

Currently
i7 6700K
32gb ram
1080

Intend to stick a 1080Ti in there too. Mostly using it for Octane 3D rendering.

DDR5 won't be out until the next decade. You're going to be waiting for a while.

>can't
There are no things that different tier pcs can or can't do. The question is how long it takes. I personally hate it when I download a zipped porn movie and it takes like two minutes to unpack on my i5. I need that r7 1700!

How many times you blown your load to the progress bar?

What case is this? will it fit E-ATX (seems like it will). also, tell me it has proper support for a top mounted radiator!

I'm looking for a compact mid-tower case that can hold the Asus Zenith Extreme and a top mounted 240 radiator

Looks like Corsair Carbide Air 540.

I'm going with the 750D Airflow for my build.

Roommate is building with a TR 1950X soon.

I've got a 4770k/970, so there's still plenty of life left at 1080p. I'll likely skip Intel's 8xxx line and see if competition brings prices down.

Besides the drives, the other half of the case also holds the power supply and excess cabling.

Post the PCPartPicker

And how come the MSI board? Price?

Also, Please post the Ram Kit you're getting, you plan to upgrade to 64GB or higher?

Remember to get 3000-3200 frequency for them render times

Ayu boyy

AMD FX 8350
Asus crosshair V formula
Asus hd7970 matrix platinum crossfire
16GiB RAM

Build this system back in 2012, still no need to upgrade.

Holy fuck, so many people fell for this bait

How many houses have you burned?

Build one yourself, i'm personally tired of buying new cases in every 2 years.

I didn't use pcporkpickle for the final parts list, but here's the newegg order summary. Not listed are the two 1070 cards which were ordered from nvidia (a lot of hitting refresh like a tard).

The MSI board because price was right and feature-wise it looked pretty good. No idea if I made the right choice or not to be perfectly honest. RAM kit is this:

newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104705

I actually had some 3600Mhz Trident Z sitting in my cart but then it went out-of-stock, and it looks like the above kit is now also OOS. I settled on the HyperX because it's on the QVL for the MSI board. Whenever I upgrade it will be directly to 128GB with a new kit of 8 sticks.

Same here, but I can't afford a thread ripper system at the moment so I'll do a Ryzen 7 build that should last me until after AMD is done with their Zen architecture in 2020.

So I'm thinking a Ryzen 1700 that will be overclocked, an RX Vega56, 1tb of NVME storage, 64gb of ram, two 500gb SSD's in raid0, and two 1tb HDDs in raid 1. I'll probably get a 1200watt PSU just to future-proof my build. I haven't decided on the AIO cooler I want yet, but I think I'd like a 360mm radiator in push/pull. I really want the white tempered glass Dark Base Pro 900 case from Be Quiet but I don't think I'll be able to because of its limited availability.

And I'm hoping to get all of this for under $2700 bucks if I get it black friday but it'll require a ton of planning to make it happen.

Normie marketing
Moar = better

He's just pretending to be stupid, sweetie c:

>it's just crap for general and normal work 99.99% people do.
>general and normal work
>99.99% people do.

what part of "High End Desktop" don't you understand?

Why is AMD the Apple of computing? Every time they come out with something new it looks great and makes me want to switch, but much like when I've switched to iPhone in the past I always get sick of it really quick. I remember years ago when the bulldozer cpu's were coming out, everyone was going on and on about how more cores are so much better "kinda like how they are today" though.

The only thing that's opposite is pricing with the comparison.
