That 96 GB RAM kit is quite the statement—what kind of workloads are you planning that need all that capacity?
That 96 GB RAM kit should give you plenty of headroom for heavy multitasking and large datasets. Curious to see how it performs in your workflow.
I'm curious about the choice of the ARCTIC Freezer 34 eSports DUO cooler for the Ryzen 9 9950X—how do you plan to manage the heat dissipation in a high-performance workstation setup?
Make sure to update the BIOS on that B650 board before installing the 9950X for optimal compatibility and performance.
@femke90 What kind of tasks or applications are you targeting with this build that require the 96 GB of RAM?
That 96 GB RAM kit will definitely provide ample headroom for large datasets and heavy multitasking, a smart choice for a workstation setup.
@niels48 I'm curious why you opted for the 96 GB kit—are you planning specific applications that truly benefit from such a high capacity, or is it more for future-proofing?
