AMD Ryzen 5950X
64GB DDR4 4000 RAM
3x M.2 PCIE SSD (Samsung 980 Pro)
4x 10TB Western Digital Gold (RAID 10)
CPU Cooler: Alphacool Eisbaer 420mm (Compromise, as $5000 in emergency bills dropped in my lap)
GPU: Legacy RTX 2060 from current rig.  Will stay air-cooled because the Z-named dealer fiddles their circuit boards too much so nobody wants to build waterblocks for them.
Case: Thermaltake Core X9 with all fans in the entire system swapped to 140mm Noctua Redux, save for the front fans, which'll be 2x 200mm Chromax.  Already had an X9 on previous system.  Have lost thumbscrews and components over the years.  Will be dropping the window panels and murdering all the RGB stuff with dental implements (can't stand RGB puke).
Monitors: 3x 27" Dell 2718Q in portrait mode with desktops fused.


Just waiting on a $400 motherboard.  Ordered at the beginning of the month.  They sent the wrong one back.
They got that one back 2 weeks ago and STILL haven't sent me my darned new motherboard yet!
Starting to REALLY get peeved.

Ouch , not much of a system without a board ....

Good Luck!!
 
Hope you get it soon

Let's hope it will arrive soon!

What do you need 40tb of hdd storage for?

I have a large software library I need access to on a daily basis.

It finally came.  Needed a couple BIOS updates to stabilize though.

40tb! Hahah. The 980 pro is a quality nvme drive tho

Turns out the power consumption of the drives was too high for the 1000W PSU .
Wound up having to drop them into a NAS device.
At least ISCSI works nicely...

Only person to have a GPU and no mobo.  I guess your problem is easier to solve than mine.

I bought the 2060 when they first came out.
Made the mistake of buying a Zotac though (was the first available).
Since I was going for a water cooled setup, that kinda screwed me.  Because Zotac fiddles CONSTANTLY with their board layouts.
Makes it almost impossible to find a 3rd party waterblock.


 
And thanks to all the people who posted.

Machine is together.
 



 
 

Nice Rig
 
Thermaltake Core X9 are great cases

Doesn't make sense. I'm running 8 drives in my NAS off of a 750W PSU perfectly fine and the NAS maxes out the PSU at 150-200W.

Oh yes.

Something else dropped today.

Having lived for several years with Thermaltake Core X9, but had to move the whole rig a couple weeks ago.
It's not that it's terribly heavy (though it is heavy).
It's mainly that the rig is just kinda...ungainly to move.
Don't do it right, you can tweak/rack the case structure.
Do it REALLY wrong and you can tweak/rack your BACK (getting older and definitely NOT a fan of this).

For my next build, or if I need to rehome this rig, I'm going to be looking at something from Fractal's lineup
Was almost ready to do that THIS time.  When I happened to find the Core X9.

Lol, yeah mines on wheels for a reason. Build a wheeled setup to sit it on or get a furniture dolly to move it.

Yeah.  I've got mine on casters.  And they're all lockable.
Casters don't really help going up or down stairs.
Heh.  Bigfoot tires?

Oh, NOW you wanna go up stairs too?!?

Well, I guess I'll just invest in one of those powered stair lifts, but put a cargo deck on instead of a chair...

Just gotta make sure not to feed my Mogwai after midnight.  A catapult would be fun.  But throwing a couple thousand dollars in VERY necessary equipment around would be...less than optimal.

maybe try rope and a pulley and make some lift out the window.

You know, we MAY be over-thinking this...
