My first ITX Build - Threadripper 7970X

[Fatpizza]

I'm hoping the fact that the thread title makes no sense is why you clicked!

But it is technically correct! My next build is a dual system build within the white Corsair 9000D, with a Threadripper 7970X + 4090 in the 'main' motherboard section, with a Ryzen 9800X3D + 4090 in the ITX section.
I've gone full Corsair ICUE Link to minimise cabling.
My list of components is below:
Threadripper Build (Workstation):
CPU: AMD Threadripper 7970X
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4090 (ASUS TUF)
RAM: 128GB (4x32GB) 6000Mhz Kingston Fury Renegade Pro DDR5 RDIMM ECC
Motherboard: Gigabyte Aero D TRX50 Rev1.2
CPU Block: Heatkiller IV Pro Threadripper CPU Waterblock
GPU Block: Granzon ASUS TUF 4090 Block
Power Supply: Phanteks Revolt X 1200W Platinum (For Dual System Function)

AM5 Ryzen Build (1For Gaming):
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9800X3D
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4090 (ASUS TUF OC)
RAM: 64GB (2x32GB) 6000Mhz CL30 GSKill Ripjaws S5 White
Motherboard: Gigabyte X870I Aorus Pro Ice (Not yet purchased)
CPU Block: Alphacool Core One White CPU Waterblock
GPU Block: Granzon ASUS TUF 4090 Block
Power Supply: ASUS ROG Loki 850W Platinum

Fans: 30x QX120 120MM Fans... (Haha...)

Watercooling:
Radiators: 2x EKWB Quantum Surface S360 White, 2x EKWB Quantum Surface P480M White
Pumps: 2x Corsair XD5 RGB Elite Pump/Reservoir Combos in White
Distro Plates/Reservoirs: Custom made by Radikult Customs.
Fittings: Bitspower

Power cables: Custom cables from Cablemod

To be honest I've already completed a fair chunk of this build. I've taken some photos along the way but I just couldn't help myself, also in order to do measurements for the custom reservoirs/distro plates I sort of had to get some components installed. I'm still waiting on the X870I motherboard to be released but I've been doing as much other stuff as possible.

First phots are the crazy radiator/fan setup. Bloody expensive, and bloody heavy.




To use the two pumps in the build, after removing the HDD cage I have cut a piece of acrylic to shape so I can screw the pumps to the acrylic and then install the acrylic piece.

Here's after I've mounted the two pumps to the acrylic piece and then installed it:



Here's after I've put the fans in and installed some of the custom distroplates and reservoirws.



And, not including the power cabling, this is all the cables I've needed. Quite nuts considering the amount of hardware.



Here's a closer pic of the distro plate for thw two pumps. It receives an input from the back chamber, and then runs through the two pumps and to an output which will go to the ITX CPU block.

Devious intent but it got me here.

Looks good and interesting with custom distros etc...I'm just struggling on the need for the second system. Surely a Threadripper 7970X with a 4090 is going to get you good enough gaming performance already?! I'm assuming the 4090 on the TR is for Cuda, video effects or something non-gaming. Is the requirement that this be processing something for a long duration and you then game on the other or are you not allowed to mix business/pleasure on the same system?
