My 2020 upgrade to [[Schwarzgerat|Schwarzgerät]], built around the [[TRX40]] platform. This will be an upgrade of cooling, motherboard, CPU, and RAM; I'll continue making use of my current case ([https://nick-black.com/tabpower/MAGNUM%20Case%20Owner's%20Manual.pdf CaseLabs Magnum T10]), SSDs/disks (currently 4TB NVMe SSD, 144TB SATA3 ferromagnetic), GPU (Asus GTX 1080) and PSU (EVGA SuperNOVA 850 Titanium), plus assorted Noctua fans and IcyDock HDA bays. This will be my first liquid-cooled machine, and I am likely to go for a custom loop. I would have just used a [[Noctua]] HSF, but their only product designed for the sTRX4 isn't available in chromax.black. I'd passionately yearned for Noctua chromax.black for months, and its lack of availability for this build (plus the 3970X's mastodonic 280W draw) made me say "fuck it". I'm going custom loop due to the paucity of 360mm AIOs for sTRX4.

| The "Full Nickel" sounds alluring, but so far as I'm aware, full nickel doesn't improve thermal characteristics (the heat-conducting area is of course metal), so the extra $30 is just for aesthetics. I'd rather the top be black in any case. Acetal is reportedly less brittle than plexi, and is the correct color. I might get the D-RGB variant, as it doesn't add much cost ($10), and that might be fun to play with. The EK-Velocity line seems the canonical choice for sTRX4/TR4 waterblocks.
