You're not allowed to copy my build Mark... LOL
Quick questions :
Why the Artic Cooling Liquid freezer vs say a Corsair or other water cooling solutions?
Why not air?
Is this your first time going water cooling?
I'm horrified of a cable coming out and damaging components/data.. Do these things come with a warranty against damage beyond the cooler itself?
Why the 360 (3x120mm) vs going w/ the 240(2x120mm) Artic?
I had a different board choice going into this. However, I seem to have settled on the Taichi. Amazing feature set for the price and (unironically) the best -balance-.
I see you're gunning for 3600 and see that it's supported on the mobo. What allows this to be achieved/advertised on Threadripper but not on Epyc and ryzen ?
One the Artic freezer, I know there is a bracket that comes with the 1950x that is compatible with most AIO coolers, and Tomshardware specifically mentioned artic freezer, so I went with them. I choose the 360, as it seemed to provide the most cooling.
As for the memory, Ryzen, EYPC and TR all LOVE fast ram, the CCX's talk to each other at ram speed, so faster ram=faster system, regardless of OC level. 3200 was the fastest supported by the X370 Taichi, but X399 Taichi says 3600, so thats why that speed.
