The CAD Box

Build Description

Needed a PC for CAD modeling. It had to have 128GB of RAM. I wanted to go current gen AMD, but was not sure about stability with 4 sticks DDR5 and Ryzen7000. I've heard it is doable but only at speeds below 4400 MT/s. I ended up with tried-and-true 5950x and DDR4 cranked up to 3200 MT/s.

Went with matte black, no-RGB and no sleeved cables.

Favorite Feature

Great performance, works well for what I need it to do.
