I just revamped my main PC on my workstation as I need something to assist in my upcoming projects. I chose to go the AMD route with the Ryzen 9 7900x 12-core on the Asus Rog Strix X670E-E motherboard. Also running Corsair 64GB @ 5200mhz with Dual Nvidia RTX 3060 cards make for a good time as well as provide me with the power for everything. At least for awhile.
I have got to say, fairly impressed with this setup so far. This CPU runs very very hot though. But from my reading on the subject of this processor, it is supposed to by design.
Just sharing my new setup. Who also runs similar a similar configuration? What do you use it for, and how do you like it?
PS: Really interested in hearing thoughts on AIO cooling. I usually just go with a very efficient air set up myself because I don't like the maintenance of open loop water cooling (from what I remember from doing it before myself), and I have read that most AIO closed loop coolers are comparable to a good sinked air cooler anyway (I am currently using a Noctua NH-D15) if the case is set up properly for flow anyway. Except of course with the 360mm radiators being the exception.
