Maximalist 2026 build
Three GPU build in a Enthoo Pro 2 Server case.
FE 5090 (32gb)
MSI Shadow 2x 5060ti (16gb) x2 (back of that vertically-mounted one is magnetized so it has some support)
7950x3d
96gb CL30 Corsair Vengeance 6000mhz
Aorus Elite x870e (i paid for three PCI-E slots damnit and i'm gonna use three PCI-E slots!)
NVME -> 4tb 990 + 2tb WD Black
SSD -> 2tb Crucial (bought in November 2023 for $87 and people were cancelling orders back then cause it didn't ship until late January and that was "too long" lmfao)
HDD -> combined 74tb of HDD space, all drives under 5k hours set up to be a SnapRaid where one 14tb drive has the info of all other drives memorized and can restore a dead drive if necessary, making a total 60tb of usable HDD space)
Corsair RM1200x shift (this was a bitch because this enthoo case had a stick-on pad for the motherboard side of the psu to push into which blocked all the cables, thought i'd need to swap psu but just peeled that pad off and had enough holes in the back there to basically get the cables to fit, though a bit snug).
Cooling -> 3 arctic 140s up front, a fourth artic 140 in top front pulling air in, a fifth arctic 140 in rear top pushing air up and out alongside a 120 arctic as rear exhaust. in the second pic you can see the dual fan setup i could manage for the GPU stack, which is a noctua nf-f12, originally I had two of these but only the middle one would fit, the bottom was pushed up against the PSU. i swapped that out for a silverstone air slimmer 120 and it just barely squeezed in there.
For torrents/my massive plex buildout, the idea is to torrent directly to the SSD, and then transfer to the relevant HDD because that should make that torrented file "cleaner" for the HDD (someone correct me if i'm wrong on this). Otherwise, my gaming temps are like 70 degrees max when pushing stuff like subnautica 2 at 4k on the 5090 and ~70-75 on the 7950x3d, and that's with most fans barely above 30pc or so. the side fans really do a lot of work on this build, i specifically wanted heavy static type fans to really push into that gpu stack.
Happy to answer any questions because I know this is not a typical setup lol.
