Hello,

I was waiting for the 2950x when I saw an offer in OC (B grade) for a x399 + 1950x that it is worthy to consider (I will call tomorrow to confirm the conditions of both of them).

I am looking for a silence computer with 32GB Ram minimal over Linux OS. I have set the following configuration:
  • AMD TR 1950x
  • Asus Rog Strix x399
  • Team Group Xtreem 32GB DDR4 PC4-25600C14 3200mhz
  • Samsung 970pro 1TB (I already have it)
  • Corsair HX750i Platinum
  • Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3
  • Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic

And these are my questions:
  1. Is the memory ok for this motherboard (not listed in QLV in memory or motherboard)? Being b-die should be ok, but you never know. Any other option? I was looking for the 4x8GB Gskill 3200 C16 but it is not currently available (and C14 is 110 pounds more expensive than Team)
  2. Is the size of the memory compatible with the Noctua? I was thinking to take the Enermax 3x120 instead but I read in the reviews that it is noisy. Opinion?
  3. Power supply... I was looking for something cheaper with 650W and not noisy, but I couldn't find anything (something like the RM650; but it is not available right now)
  4. I couldn't find any passive graphic card that supports 4K screen (Nvidia if possible) :(
Thank you!
 
Thank you for the answer. At the end I was not able to call as I was working and when I was free it was already late. Anyways, next two weeks I am going on holidays so I will wait and depending on the cost of the 2950x I will take 1950x B grade or the 2950x.

Points:
  • No, I am not going to overclock the computer or play video games. I am going to use it for virtual machines, and multi threat applications over Linux. This is the reason I need memory and cores.
  • Thank you for the power supply, it is 30 pounds cheaper and it is exactly what I want it :)
  • What is the difference between Dark pro and Extreem? The Dark pro are around 50 pounds more expensive despite being 3200 C14 B-die both of them. Worthy?
  • Graphic cards 710 do not support 4K as per vendors description. There are not 1030 or 730 passive in stock. I have a Nv2950 but it is fighting with my 32".
Related to the cooler, the funny thing is that I have a Watercooling at home that I am not using (4-5 years old), and maybe it could be a better solution. It is a very old configuration so I was scare to use it:

Maybe it could be a better idea to buy a waterblock for TR4, tube for 1/2" and "fungus water protection" and for 100 pounds I will have something better. I was checking to buy a cylindrical reservoir that it can be mounted with a D5 as I do not like the DD, but they cost more than 70 pounds :( Also, I was checking hard tube but buying all the required tools (30 pounds), 8 fittings (50 pounds) and tube (20 pounds) it is too much right now.

Kind regards!
 
Oh I didn't see that res before, good price. Thank you!

Related to the memories, what is the difference between Dark pro and Extreem? Both of them are 8GB dimms 3200 C14 B-die.

Thanks!
