3900X-HIGH1950X-HIGH

Hi all,

Based on feedback/requests for higher end Ryzen 9 and productivity/workstation type builds, this is what we've come up with. We have 1950X Threadrippers to clear so the pricing is pretty hot, but don't have any of the newer ones in or on the horizon.

Spec-wise, there's obviously a billion variations possible, so what is offered here is what is doable for now (i.e. can't tailor any further than this around motherboard spec, etc).

In both builds, the idea is to offer the RX 580 8GB, still a very capable card, as the lowest possible entry point GPU-wise, as we can't offer GPU-less systems due to warranty/testing complications. So if you wanted to install your own, this might be your best bet [note that warranty implications may arise if a self-installed component is found to be the cause of or contributing to the issue requiring service]. RX 5700 XT, RTX 2080 Super and RTX 2080 Ti are also offered and priced below.

Ryzen 9 3900X System:

Spec:
- Ryzen 9 3900X
- 16GB 3200MHz RAM (32GB and 64GB upgrades available)
- 240GB NVME m.2 SSD (1TB NVMe upgrade available)
- X570 Motherboard (brand/model may vary but currently using MSI Gaming Plus. Upgrade to Asus Tuf WiFi X570 option added for $59)
- 750W 80+ Bronze PSU (Thermaltake Smart BX1)
- Thermaltake Versa J24 RGB Edition case
Prices after 3900X-HIGH
- with RX 580 8GB: $1699
- with RX 5700 XT: $2199
- with RTX 2080 Super: $2399
- with RTX 2080 Ti: $2899 (strongly recommended bordering on required 750W 80+ Gold upgrade for $99) EDIT 6/11: $100 increase to 2080 Ti pricing (previous orders honored, new orders to pay additional $100)

Link: https://techfast.com.au/products/amd-ryzen-9-3900x-rtx-2080-…

Threadripper 1950X System:

Spec:
- Threadripper 1950X
- 16GB 3200MHz RAM (32GB and 64GB upgrades available)
- 1TB SATA 2.5" SSD (1TB NVMe upgrade available)
- MSI SLI PLus X399 Motherboard (brand/model may vary but that should be available for the majority)
- 240mm liquid cooler (brand/model may vary but will be brand name)
- 750W 80+ Bronze PSU (Thermaltake Smart BX1)
- Thermaltake Versa J24 RGB Edition case
Prices after 1950X-HIGH
- with RX 580 8GB: $1499
- with RX 5700 XT: $1999
- with RTX 2080 Super: $2199
- with RTX 2080 Ti: $2699 (strongly recommended bordering on required 750W 80+ Gold upgrade for $99) EDIT 6/11: $100 increase to 2080 Ti pricing (previous orders honored, new orders to pay additional $100)

Link: https://techfast.com.au/products/amd-ryzen-threadripper-1950…

16GB and 32GB RAM are currently from Team (T-Force and NightHawk respectively ATM) and 64GB upgrade will likely be G.Skill Trident Z 4x16 [special order, minimum 2 weeks to come in]; all models may vary. 2080 Supers have been MSI Ventus and Galax EX and will likely continue. SSD models will vary.

If you want these unassembled, enter SHIP UNASSEMBLED in the NOTES field on the CART PAGE before Checkout. Note that our 1-year return to base assembled system warranty will not apply for systems we do not assemble, but we will honor and assist with manufacturer warranties for faulty components if required.

Enter respective codes at Checkout to apply discounts.

I'll be interested to your feedback as always, and thanks again to the OzB community for helping to shape our offerings and business.

Cheers
Luke

    i can fully love this company now because you got rid of those shitty cases. thermaltake one actually looks good for airflow.

      Those shitty cases are still there as standard unless you upgrade for more $$$ let’s be clear

      • HKS on 30/10/2019 - 16:02

        i think its a very worthy upgrade. the standard one has the 3.5" drive mounts at the front which blocks the airflow from the intake fan at the front.

        Thats a bit misleading BongoOB. This deal includes Thermaltake case, not those shitty case.

            @luketechfast: It always has been.

            Less than a day after receiving my prebuilt system that thing was in the trash and the build was in a nzxt s340. Quality difference and looks is worlds apart. Don’t know what you pay for each case but the nzxt was 79$ Worth the extra money imo.

      Can't do anything on the fans side but the 3900X has a 240mm AIO LC option thanks to the Versa case.

  • congo on 30/10/2019 - 16:06

    Which is better to run a test application server?
    R9-3900X or Threadripper 1950X?

    • Bappy on 30/10/2019 - 16:14

      I am guessing 3900x would be better option - it even beats 2920x according to bitwit

      • congo on 30/10/2019 - 16:26

        Surprise 2920x isn't a beast.
        Pity techfast isn't offering 3950x…

        • netsurfer on 30/10/2019 - 16:31
          +20

          TechFast cannot offer 3950X yet. In order to offer one, they will need to send someone to steal from AMD since 3950X are not released yet.

    • N1NJ4W4RR10R on 30/10/2019 - 16:22

      I'd assume the 3900x. Less cores, but those cores are significantly faster.

      But I'll let someone else conf/deny that. Next to no experience with running servers.

    Hi OP, how does the compatibility of the above spec to videography and photography editing works?

    • teereb on 30/10/2019 - 18:27
      +1

      Of all the deals from tech fast, these are the best for video editing.

      If still budget oriented, the gfx card 580 option will still be plenty, alternatively grab a budget (?) Nvidia card (they work better with most editing software than AMD cards)

      These CPUs will be best option and the ram will be a great start option (upgrade if you want a bit of future proofing too)

      Get a second ssd for your OS and editing software, use the 1tb ssd / nvme (prefer nvme) as your editing hdd with the footage on.

      Can't go wrong there, killer deal.

      • Dotherightthing on 30/10/2019 - 22:01
        +1

        They had an intel deal few days ago, wouldnt that be better for video editing? I heard intel works well with adobe? Could be wrong.

        • teereb on 31/10/2019 - 00:57
          +1

          These CPUs are great workstation options.

          I'm not sure what deal the other day you mean specifically, but as far as I'm aware these are the only tech fast deals with the larger thread/core count good for editing.

          When I said Nvidia is better than AMD I was just talking about gfx card side of things, which isn't as big a deal as CPU choice, ram amount or storage speed.

        • Teebytok on 31/10/2019 - 11:40

          Nah a 3900x is way better than anything this side of a $1k Intel cpu

  • CoffeeCoke on 30/10/2019 - 17:49

    I was at first thinking of going with the 3500X but this is quite a deal for a Threadripper. Could you offer a regular 5700 as an option as well?

      +2

      Waaa.

      I'll get a price and update.

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 31/10/2019 - 17:10

  • dreameater on 30/10/2019 - 17:54
    +1

    Assuming this is a workstation pc, I'd put a base gtx 1650 (or a better nvidia) instead of the 580 video card to help with adobe applications

    the ryzen 9 system is the way to go, but the price is a bit too high

    thanks for the deal Luke!

      As I understand it;
      Basically geared toward multitasking and multi-threaded tasks instead of gaming which aims for higher single core speeds but less overall cores.

      So 12 cores that run slower, instead of a gaming system which might be 6 cores that each run really fast…

    • Teebytok on 31/10/2019 - 11:43
      +1

      More so rendering and other multi-threaded work. A modern 4 core is already good enough for offfice and heavy browsing (until developers start optimising for high ore counts now)

    Im almost sold on this deal, deal breaker for me is still those MSI motherboard's Running them with a 3900X those VRM's are terrible, look at both Debaur's and Hardware unboxed tests and you will see.

    Any chance of a paid upgrade to the ASUS TUF WIFI?

    Also NVME any chance of 970 EVO model?

  • AEKaBeer on 30/10/2019 - 20:39

    If I wasn't focussed on an ITX build that 3900x 2080 super package would be perfect for me. I'm finding it really hard to say no to this one.

    What happened to all the $650ish 3600 builds? I have a few people keenly interested but it looks like the 3500x has taken that slot.

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 30/10/2019 - 21:28

      Gaming is our core so the 3500X offers the same performance for less, but the 3600 is still an option on all of those builds for + $150.

      Likely MSI Ventus. I would really recommend the gold for either of these two CPU combined with a Ti, but power draw wise the bronze will do it.

      • Vinodra on 30/10/2019 - 21:40

        Would it put the system in danger with just the 80+ bronze or is it just a matter of power efficiency?

      hello fellow ars reader.

      i bet it does. i can't see them bothering to update the bios for you.

      but if they can list all the boards they might use, we can see if there is a bios update with a microcode fix.

  • Individual01 on 30/10/2019 - 23:11

    Hi fellow OzBargainers
    I'm after a good build that can be used effiently for grahpic design (illustrator), video creation, editing and production (premiere) and some mild gaming being able to run games such as GTA V and higher end games. Would these builds work well for these types of applications or would i need a higher end pc build?

    • AEKaBeer on 31/10/2019 - 00:06

      The 3900x will do very well with that. You will want more storage and possibly 32GB ram but it depends on your workflows and file sizes.

      Scroll down to the productivity: premier chart, the 3900x tops the chart.

      https://www.techspot.com/review/1869-amd-ryzen-3900x-ryzen-3…

    • AussieDaddy on 31/10/2019 - 13:26

      I did a brief search on YouTube and came across a few videos suggesting that the 3900x might have issues with premiere, but others show the opposite. Do some research if you're going to do a lot of video creation, editing and production etc.
