| One of the finest packages of our era, at a fantastic price point. I believe the 64-core 3990X will be memory starved for most task sets large enough to engage all its cores, and thus not worth paying double (it's still an awesome chip). | | One of the finest packages of our era, at a fantastic price point.

| 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 waterblocks. | | 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.
