  • description: In this video, I tackle a monster server build based on the AMD Threadripper Pro 5955WX - a 16-core, 32-thread CPU paired with the ridiculously feature-packed ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE Wi-Fi 2 motherboard. After my previous Epyc system mysteriously died (see link below), I decided to upgrade rather than waste a crisis! This build showcases what might be the most impressive motherboard I've ever seen - weighing in at 17 pounds with seven full-bandwidth PCIe Gen 4 slots (all bifurcatable!), three M.2 slots, dual 10Gb Intel Ethernet, and more power connectors than you can shake a stick at. I discuss the unique challenges of this platform, from installing a CPU with a torque wrench to hotel room breadboarding (yes, really) and power supply compatibility checks. Unfortunately, this build journey hits a major roadblock when the massive motherboard simply won't fit in my Sliger CX4712 case! Stay tuned for part 3 when the larger case arrives. --------------- Enquiries: [email protected] šŸ–„ļø https://alex.ktz.me šŸ¦£ mastodon techhub.social/@ironicbadger šŸ““ https://blog.ktz.me šŸ§‘šŸ½ā€šŸ’» https://github.com/ironicbadger šŸŽ™ļø https://selfhosted.show podcast ------------- TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro & component overview 03:45 - Hotel room breadboarding adventure 07:30 - Power supply requirements & considerations 09:15 - Memory compatibility checks 11:20 - Power cable pin-out verification 14:30 - The case size disappointment 16:00 - Plans for part 3 LINKS: Part 1 - Diagnosing my failed Epic system: https://youtu.be/5r4X4SIm4f4 Sliger CX4712 Case: https://www.sliger.com/products/rackmount/4u/cx4712/ #ThreadripperPro #ServerBuild #Workstation #PCBuilding #TechUpgrade
