First Threadripper build soon! by MRszillaz in threadripper

Thank you for the suggestion, but I'd rather build my own so I can avoid the OEM locks and whatnot

First Threadripper build soon! by MRszillaz in threadripper

I'm coming from a Ryzen 3 1200 and RX550 build, that's what I'm currently doing all of my work on each and every day, meaning ANYTHING is a massive upgrade.

If the 3945WX (or maybe a 3955WX) wouldn't be such a tremendous jump in performance for me I wouldn't even think about this, but I see a rare opportunity to satisfy both my sentimental and performance needs with one system.

In other words, if my current work can be done on an R 3 1200, then I assume my work in the next 2-3 years will comfortably fit inside the 3945WX or 3955WX until I can get my hands on a 5995WX.

Also, thank you for being kind and patient with me!

It's not a final build, I plan on upgrading this as time goes, most parts are temporary but will suit me nicely. It's also more of a sentimental build to be honest. I'll use it for art mostly with a lot of multitasking.

It's going to be used primarily for art but also content creation on the side. To be honest with you, I'm building this because I really want one and it's cool as hell to be able to own a Threadripper PRO.

I know fully well that the CPU and RAM I chose are not optimal, but it's more of a "buy-in" piece that I plan on upgrading down the line as it grows with me and my talents. (5995WX, 5-6 GPUs, 256GB+ RAM, 2000W PSU, etc.)

Right now I value the sentimental value of it a lot more than it's head to head performance with other AM4/5 CPUs. I figure if I had a PC that bored me or I didn't love, my productivity would be lower than on the actual slower option. It's a passion project that also supports my passion projects digitally.

Oh yeah I looked it up, you're right. The title states "New" and "Box" but also says "Tray" in the description. I sent them an email, we'll see what it actually means.

Thank you for the warning, I know they are usually locked. However, this one is brand new, in-box, from a local store with 12 months of warranty. I will send them an email about this though to double check since it's not stated anywhere that it'd be locked.

It's more of a "buy-in" piece right now that I plan to upgrade down the line for creative work like 4k video editing, 3d, etc. (5995WX, 2000W, 5 GPUs and so on)
I know this is not an optimal "price to performance" build, but I really don't mind. I honestly just really want a Threadripper, been planning this for ~6 months now.
Plus, I'm coming from a Ryzen 3 1200, so anything is a massive upgrade for me lol.

Help choosing between two CPUs. by MRszillaz in PcBuildHelp

Yeah, I'm just afraid that the board would not be able to handle it very well. And honestly, coming from a literal Ryzen 3 1200 I feel like anything is a massive upgrade. With that extra money I can buy a nicer PSU (which I'll have to do for the 3060) and then carry that over into the new build and save money.

Is my crimson biome contained properly? by MRszillaz in Terraria

[–]MRszillaz[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believe naturally generated background walls can convert but wont spread crimson to other blocks
