[SOLVED] ryzen 3970x compatible hardware

[Vasilis82]

Hi everyone,
I’m about to build a powerful workstation but I’m only sure what CPU I will go for.

Which are the best options for ryzen 3970x where will be compatible with?
(1) motherboard
(2) cooling.
Air or a water cooling for that CPU?
(3) RAM - 128GB.
I was looking for kit of
Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 128GB DDR4 Non ECC CL16 3200 Mhz

Thank you in advance!

You will need a trx40 chipset motherboard. You can use a beefy air cooler or a beefy water cooler, which you should get is up to your personal preference.
That ram should work.

I would go with this

ASRock taichi board are very good.

Thank you for your message! @NightHawkRMX
In regards of the beefy air cooler, I can see that it’s a powerful one. However I will use the cpu most of the time at 60-100% at whole times, so I was wondering if this cooler is the best to go with?

The motherboard is looking decent. How about that one, what do you think?
Asus Rog Zenith II Extreme

Lastly, since I will go for air cooler, which case are you suggesting in order to have great air flow?
