Wohoo 🥳 I have finished my 2025 GPU workstation build and I am very excited to train new awesome open source models on it.
I built my last GPU workstation 5 years ago featuring an AMD Ryzen 5900X, 64GB of G.SKILL Trident Z RGB on an ASRock X570 Taichi cooled by an Alphacool Eisbär 420. GPU was a Zotac RTX 3090 AMP Extreme. Unfortunately, I was never satisfied with the case - some Fractal Define 7, as it is definitely too small, airflow is not optimal as I had to open the front door all the time and it also arrived with a partly damaged side panel.
For my new build, I've used the following components: an outstanding new AMD Ryzen 9950X3D with 64GB of Corsair Dominator Titanium (what a name). As a huge Noctua fan - warm greetings to my Austrian neighbors - I am using the brand new Noctua NH-D15 G2 on an ASRock X870E Taichi in an amazing Lian Li LANCOOL III chassis. One joke that only NVIDIA Blackwell users will understand: you definitely need a tempered glass panel to check if your GPU cables/connectors start melting 😂 And the best is yet to come: I returned my previously bought Zotac RTX 5090 Solid to the eBay seller (because of... missing ROPs, only NVIDIA Blackwell users will again understand) and bought a Zotac 5090 AMP Extreme INFINITY (yes, the long name indicates that this is the flagship model from Zotac) from a more trustworthy source (NBB in Germany).
I am so happy to start training and fine-tuning new open source models - stay tuned!!!
