AMD 3990X Threadripper

Announced at CES 2020, AMD's 3990X Threadripper processor is a huge leap forward in processing power. The 3990X is designed for creators who need the best rendering performance to enhance productivity and work flow. With 64 cores and 128 threads, you'll be able to run video encoding or rendering applications at blistering speeds and eliminate timeline lag.

Recommended CPU Cooling Solutions

While you can run an air cooler, such as the Noctua NH-D15S CPU Cooler, you may want to consider an All-In-One (AIO) water cooling solution with a 360mm radiator to maximize performance under heavy loads and minimize noise. We recommend the following for ease of maintenance and performance:

Recommended RAM

For maximum performance, you need to feed all of those cores with a minimum of 64GB of fast RAM. Micro Center recommends the following kits:
