blueribbon3danimation, here is the 2990WX specifications:
No cooler is supplied. I am glad for this since I have never been happy with supplied coolers. I have not built a 2990WX based system. I am considering it but am waiting till a little settling in products and prices. Here are my current specifications:
ASRock Fatal1ty X399 Pro Gaming, Threadripper 1950X, 2xSamsung SSD 960 EVO RAID0, 4xSSD
960 EVO on ASRock Ultra Quad, 1TB & 500 GB WD Black, G.SKILL [Flare X (for AMD)] F4-
3200C14Q-32GFX, Windows 10 x64 Pro, Enermx Platimax 850, Enermx Liqtech TR4 CPU Cooler,
Radeon RX580, BIOS 2.0.
I would emphasize two items in particular: power supply and CPU cooler. I would discourage any power supply less than 850 Watts. I would encourage water cooling for the CPU. I made sure that my 1950X cooler covers both chips in my 1950X module. Enermax now offers three AIO (All In One) water coolers for Threadripper. I will probably select one of these. The first thing to select is the Mainboard. On AMD's Processor web site (please visit and read about the new TR 2) are listed four MBs for the new Threadrippers. As I said above, I think three are altered Threadripper 1 boards. I want a board made for Threadripper 2 from the start. The new processor will demand much more current from the VRM (Voltage Regulator Module). After the board is selected, look at the board's QVL (Qualified Vendor List) for memory. I lean toward G.Skill with B Die Samsung chips. The board selection will dictate the case size. My current board is ATX but all other TR 2 boards I have seem are E-ATX boards requiring a larger case. The larger case also allows a larger CPU cooler and more room to work and to manage cables. I like the NZXT cases but they discontinued the series I have now, so I may look elsewhere. I am curious what 'cosiram' is - memory? Hope this helps. Enjoy, John.
