advice on build

I'm looking for advice on a 2U Ryzen 7 server for simulation work (well, actually 6 of them, that's why a rack). I've built plenty of desktop machines, but never a server. From what I can, most of the components are the same, but you need to consider differences in CPU cooler and PSU to fit in...

I run CPU intensive simulations that are quite RAM limited. I need about 30 GB per core. That's why I chose the 16-core Threadripper. Fast per core, but still only need 8 cores to max out the 256GB of RAM. So 16 cores should work perfectly fine. I will be running these machines headlessly, so...

Hi all, I am planning to get a major upgrade soon, for both GPU and CPU. For the CPU, I am still debating between either the new 5600x, or last generation's 3800x. Which is more worth it? I know the basics of cores and clock speed, but I haven't looked at CPUs in ages. I am using this PC for...

I need to buy a new build, and i know that there's pretty much no difference between the Ryzen 5 3600x and the 3600, but since there is a small difference, 20€ (200€ vs 220€), I'm a little undecided. I dont care about the better cooler of the 3600x since i won't keep the stock cooler anyway. I...
