Midir is a specialized watercooled Redshift and Cinema4D render workstation,
and it got its 1st update and much needed maintenance now in November 2021.
Originally built in 2018 on the X299 platform with a i9 7920X in a custom modded 900D, triple GTX1080ti and a hardtube loop,
the GPUs were starting to show their age in render times and it seemed like the Liquid Metal on the CPU was getting too old, resulting in relatively high temperatures when pushed with rendering.

We took it apart, transplanting it into the much smaller, but still massive 7000D, without sacrificing any radiators! Instead actually adding another 360 Rad.

With Redshift performance prioritized we also chose to upgrade the triple 1080ti to DUAL RTX 3080ti!
Since he doesn't render the biggest scenes, he doesn't necessarily need 24-48GB of VRAM, and because Redshift does not need SLI or NV-Link to take advantage of multi GPUs, we got away with saving 2000€, going for 2x 3080ti instead of 2x 3090.

CPU was delidded again, repasted with LM, the IHS was lapped and we applied a conservative OC to 4,5GHz at 1,208v to ensure system stability.
With 12x NB-eLoops at 500-700rpm the system stays nearly inaudible at all times, while still delivering amazing temperatures
(76-81°C CPU and 61-66°C GPUs @19°C ambient)
in Cinebench R23 and Octanebench simultaneously.
