Monster Work PC

My existing workstation doesn't quite cut it anymore so I'm retiring that PC by converting it to a dual boot hackintosh/Windows for guests/debugging.

This PC will be used for machine learning, data simulation, 3D modeling, and processing large amounts of image data.

Storage
Both WD Black M.2 drives are configured in RAID 0 to provide 2TB of storage.

CPU / Cooling
The CPU is overclocked to 4.7GHz. At idle the CPU temp is below 40°C, under heavy load the CPU reaches 70°C. All exhaust fans have the dust filter removed to increase ventilation. This build currently uses 10 fans for cooling:
  • 3x Corsair ML120 fans blowing air out the top of the case (these were originally the iCUE radiator fans)
  • 3x Cooler Master SickleFlow fans pull cool air into the CPU radiator
  • 3x Cooler Master fans pull cool air into the bottom of the case.
  • 1x Corsair ML20 Pro LED fan pushes air out the rear of the case


The CPU and motherboard were chosen because this build may need to eventually use multiple GPUs for image-based deep learning. The i9-10900X CPU provides 48 PCI lanes and the motherboard can easily accommodate multiple GPUs.
