![]() If you look at the last photo, you can see the tight fit around the graphic card and the CPU cooler. The fan of the cooler is also touching the memory, so no room to spare. So be aware that all the space around the CPU cooler is used. A minor annoyance is how the Corsair MP600 with its own cooler attached, collides with the M.2. ![]() I needed to remote the chipset fan grill to remove the plate for using the MP600, and as I could not use the motherboard plate, the chipset fan grill could not be mounted again. Later i was informed how to remove the heatsink on the MP600, so the heatsink from the motherboard could be used, so would change this in a rebuild. Martin ‘JaMa’ Jansa who is a WebOS developer at LG and core developer of OpenEmbedded, provide a benchmark over different CPUs with the test-oe-build-time. If you look at the time.build tab of html result, the build time for this system is around 2:37:29 for zeus branch and 3:41:26 for hardknott branch. In comparison building the zeus branch on Threadripper 3970x takes 1:36:18, a dual socket Xeon E5 2699 v3 takes 2:40:26 and a dual socket Xeon E5 2698 v4 takes 2:18:41. I don’t have the price of the reference systems, but looking into the CPUs, a single Xeon E5 2699 v3 is $4115.00, a single Xeon E5-2698 v4 is $3226.00, a Threadripper 3970x reference price is $1999. So if you compare the results according to price, you get the most bang for the buck with the chosen workstation. ![]() In general I am very happy with the workstation. Running with the quiet profile in the BIOS and setting the RPM down, means the workstation is for all practical purpose silent when idling and only a woosh sound when under heavy load. The only thing I properly would change is the Corsair MP600. ![]()
