Hi guys, i would kindly ask you for an advice about this setup:

It would be used for external aerodynamics CFD, software like openfoam and so on.


CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX, 32 core (3,0 GHz - 4,2GHz, 80 MB CACHE)

CPU cooler: Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3

Motherboard: ASUS PRIME X399-A (DDR4, 6 Gb/s, CrossFireX/SLI) – RGB-ready

I think we have had enough discussions about the Treadripper 2990WX already. It's no good.
Upgrade from 2x E5-2687W v3 for Comsol 5.3 electromagnetic simulations
Building a "home workstation" for ANSYS Fluent
2990wx falls far behind the dual way E5-2696V4 system in CFD simulations
Epyc 7301 ws

In the 4000€ price range, you can already get a system with 2 Epyc 1st gen CPUs these days.
