I have a treat for you all [Coming Soon]

[rubix_1011]

Keep an eye out on this space for a few teasers on a build that is starting tomorrow...something very big...yet, sort of small.

First of many...

First question - AMD or Intel? (pro tip...you might be able to already tell...)

Second question...how many CPU cores do you suppose this system will have?

EK Supremacy sTR4 RGB. TR4 socket water block. ThreadRipper. AMD.

number of cores I think depends on whether you're the type to over-spec for upgrades.

The build is for an upcoming article and review, and since we've perhaps nailed down the CPU socket, let's just say this particular SKU has more than 30 cores.

In which case I'd just say more cores than will comfortably fit on the Task Manager CPU Performance screens. LOL

I'm certain there will be a screenshot of this in the main article. I'm actually wanting to see this firsthand, myself.

Your testing it with the 2990WX?!?! This is going to be awesome!

I can't really say 'yes' at this point, but I would be lying to everyone if I say 'no'.

Are we in that uncomfortable territory where some might think a 'no' means 'yes'?

Given the recent climate of social media and gender rights, I can see where this might seem like a play on terms.

It is more along the lines of 'I cannot really divulge many details at this time' as we have an editorial coming soon that will have all the information, and marketing doesn't like to take away from that spotlight. Since this is a cooling/watercooling forum, I wanted to provide some insider looks during the process without giving away too much (and getting myself into trouble).

 

[WildCard999]

Well lets put it this way, if you are water-cooling a 2990WX with some RGB features "something very big...yet, sort of small." ITX build then I'm going to be very interested, love those ITX builds!

You're going to really enjoy this one, then.

New full-cover Bitspower block arrived last night - will be using that on the mATX TR4 motherboard (but which one!?!? you ask)

Case is Thermaltake Level 20 VT.

Oh, and there will be an Nvidia GPU in the cooling loop, as well.

 

[WildCard999]

Nice case, with all that glass the RGB is going to look very good.

 

[rubix_1011]

There will be RGB...

 

[WildCard999]

Any updates?

 

[rubix_1011]

It's in the hands of editorial, which is what slows things down a bit, but it is completely finished and written with all photos. It will be a 2-part write up with Terk's testing before mine, but here's another flavor shot for you:

 

[WildCard999]

Wow....very nice! It'll be great to see how it performs & temps. Thanks for picture!

 

[Lutfij]

Sorry, old friend it took me so long. Congratulations on this build and how you made it so immaculate! Wonder if you've got other things planned for it...

 

[rubix_1011]

In case any of you were tracking this, here is the story - it finally hit the front page.

Apologies - we're having a lot of adjustment moving everything to the new system of doing things; both paperwork and technical, so a bit delayed more than I hoped.

 

[WildCard999]

Saw it, beautiful build and the temps came out great.
