Behind the Scenes: 3175X Build
Added 2020-02-06 00:10:56 +0000 UTCWe typically try to keep our CPU and GPU test parts out of workstation builds, mostly because the unavailability created by their inclusion isn't worth the (1) downtime in a production machine when a part is pulled, and (2) downtime in a test machine. The 3175X is unique in that way, though: Not many people are buying it at this point and we also just recently posted a revisit of the part, so we won't need to revisit it again for at least a year or two. Rather than let the part sit on the shelf for a year, we're going to solve our production machine bottlenecks and put a new one together. We just assembled that 3960X machine and it has helped a lot, but the secondary editing position is now slowed down by the 8086K. This will give us something to do with the part while also offering us a fun head-to-head benchmark between our two production machines.
In a change of pace, I asked Patrick and Keegan to film a video on the parts we're going to use and why we're using them. We'll be doing a stream in the next week or two on this build, but here's a Patreon-only behind-the-scenes look that's hosted by Patrick, whom you rarely get to see on the main channel. Enjoy the change of pace!

That case looks almost exactly like a Rosewill Cullinan V500 !

2020-02-06 00:44:35 +0000 UTCCorsair's oem for radiators is actually Hardware Labs. So those are some of the best performing 30 mm radiators on the market.
