ULTIMATE NON-SERVER WORKSTATION

🏆 ULTIMATE NON-SERVER WORKSTATION — MASTER SPECIFICATION

Fully merged • compatibility-corrected • performance-first • Cyber-Ice RGB edition 🔒

Design goal: Push a single-socket workstation to the highest practical workstation-class level without crossing into server architecture, while retaining extreme AI, rendering, simulation, professional video/photo editing, 4K gaming, and creator capability.

Rule: RGB is allowed only where it does not compromise compute, PCIe topology, storage, power delivery, cooling, reliability, or physical fit.

🧠 CPU + PLATFORM

Specification Final
CPU Threadripper PRO 9995WX
Cores / threads 96 / 192
Socket sTR5
Platform WRX90
Memory architecture 8-channel DDR5 ECC RDIMM
PCIe architecture Up to 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes
Motherboard ASUS Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE
Motherboard form factor EEB
Workstation boundary Single-socket / non-server

Role

This is the central compute platform for:

AI • CPU rendering • simulation • compilation • virtualization • scientific workloads • professional applications


🧠 SYSTEM MEMORY

8× Samsung 256 GB ECC RDIMM

Parameter Final
Modules 8
Capacity/module 256 GB
Total 2 TB
Type DDR5 ECC RDIMM
Speed 4800 MT/s
Organization 8Rx4
Channels populated 8
Voltage 1.1 V

Theoretical aggregate bandwidth

≈307.2 GB/s

Design philosophy

We deliberately prioritize:

2 TB capacity + ECC + 8-channel operation + high-density workstation stability

over chasing a higher DIMM frequency at reduced capacity.


🎮 GPU SUBSYSTEM

4× NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition

Per GPU

Specification Value
VRAM 96 GB GDDR7 ECC
Memory bandwidth 1,792 GB/s
FP32 125 TFLOPS
Interface PCIe 5.0 ×16
Board power 600 W
Physical class Dual-slot

Four-GPU total

Metric Total
GPUs 4
GPU memory 384 GB ECC
GPU board-power budget 2,400 W
Aggregate theoretical bandwidth 7,168 GB/s

PCIe topology

PCIe Slot 1 → RTX PRO 6000 #1
PCIe Slot 3 → RTX PRO 6000 #2
PCIe Slot 5 → RTX PRO 6000 #3
PCIe Slot 7 → RTX PRO 6000 #4
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Important

The four GPUs are four independent GPU memory spaces, not automatically one unified 384 GB GPU. Software must support multi-GPU operation to exploit them together.


⚡ POWER SYSTEM

2× Corsair WS3000

Parameter Final
PSU count 2
Capacity/PSU 3,000 W
Combined 6,000 W
Standard ATX 3.1
Input 220–240 V
GPU connectors 4× 12V-2x6 per PSU
GPU connector capability 600 W class

Approximate locked CPU + GPU power

350 W CPU

*

2,400 W GPUs

=

~2,750 W

before the rest of the workstation.

Important distinction

6,000 W PSU capacity is not 6,000 W actual consumption.

It is our massive electrical headroom.

Thermal design target

~2.75 kW CPU + GPU heat

with the cooling system engineered for sustained workload rather than merely short benchmark bursts.


🏠 CHASSIS

Phanteks Enthoo Pro II Tempered Glass

PH-ES620PTG_DBK01

Feature Final
Motherboard SSI-EEB / EEB
Maximum motherboard 305 × 330 mm
PCI expansion 11 slots
GPU clearance ~503 mm
3.5" storage support Up to 12 positions
Tempered glass
Integrated D-RGB
Dual PSU architecture

Why TG instead of closed panel?

Because our workstation isn't changing internally.

We're simply giving the monster a glass showcase window so the four water-cooled professional GPUs, illuminated power cables and internal lighting are actually visible.


💾 COMPLETE STORAGE SYSTEM

📡 NETWORKING

Built-in

2× 10GbE

Wireless

Intel Wi-Fi 7 BE200

Bluetooth

Bluetooth 5.4

Deliberately omitted

100/200/400 GbE server/data-center NIC

because it would consume valuable expansion resources without being automatically useful for our workstation workloads.


🎥 PCIe EXPANSION

Final internal PCIe expansion card count: 0

The previously selected:

Blackmagic DeckLink 8K Pro G2

is removed.

Why?

It has a physical multi-slot requirement that creates unnecessary uncertainty around the four-GPU arrangement.

Our rule is:

Protect the four-GPU architecture before adding auxiliary PCIe hardware.

Professional video I/O can instead be handled through an external solution when needed.


🖥️ DISPLAY SYSTEM

This is for:

retouching • drawing • compositing • digital art • 3D


🎛️ WORKSTATION CONTROLS

Device Model Purpose

Mouse Logitech MX Master 4 Precision productivity
Control surface Elgato Stream Deck+ Resolve/Premiere/Photoshop/Blender/OBS automation

⚡ POWER DISTRIBUTION + PROTECTION

Layer Final hardware
PSU #1 Corsair WS3000
PSU #2 Corsair WS3000
PDU #1 Vertiv Geist monitored PDU
PDU #2 Vertiv Geist monitored PDU
UPS Vertiv Liebert GXT5 10 kW
Input architecture Dedicated properly engineered 230 V circuits
Monitoring PDU + UPS monitoring
PSU wiring Genuine Corsair modular cables only

Important

This is a high-current 230 V installation. The actual circuits, breakers, conductors, grounding and isolation must be designed/installed according to local electrical requirements by a qualified professional.


🌌 CYBER-ICE RGB SYSTEM

Now the workstation gets the gaming-PC visual treatment without becoming a gaming-platform compromise.

🌀 Case fans

Position Final
Front 3× Phanteks D30-140 Reverse D-RGB
Top 3× Phanteks D30-140 D-RGB Regular

Total

6× D30-140

This respects the Enthoo Pro II's 140 mm fan capacity.


✨ Architectural RGB

Phanteks NEON

Model Quantity
NEON M1 1000 mm — PH-NELEDKT_M1 1
NEON M5 500 mm — PH-NELEDKT_M5 2

Use them for:

long motherboard perimeter

lower GPU zone

rear/cable-channel accent


💎 Geometric lighting

Corsair iCUE LC100

Product Qty
LC100 9-panel Starter — CL-9011114-WW 1
LC100 9-panel Expansion — CL-9011115-WW 1

Total

18 RGB panels

Placed behind/beside the GPU bank as an AI-core geometric pattern.


🔌 GPU POWER LIGHTING

Lian Li Strimer Wireless 16-12

PW16-121W

Quantity

4

One illuminated 12V-2×6 path per GPU.

Controllers

2× L-Wireless Controller RF-T-B

because four Strimers exceed the documented three-Strimer-per-controller arrangement.

Electrical rule

The Corsair WS3000 PSU-side wiring remains genuine Corsair wiring.

No unverified third-party modular PSU cable is introduced.


🧠 CPU RGB

HEATKILLER IV PRO Threadripper ACRYL NICKEL-BLACK

18027

This replaces the earlier pure-copper visual choice while retaining an sTR5-specific CPU block.


❄️ MO-RA RGB

For each MO-RA IV 600:

RGB component Qty per radiator Total
MO-RA IV 600 Ambient Light aRGB 1 2
MO-RA IV 600 Front Logo aRGB 1 2
MO-RA IV Tank aRGB Module 600 1 2
MO-RA IV Passive Control 600 1 2

🌀 MO-RA COOLING FANS

Noctua NF-A20 HS-PWM chromax.black

9 per MO-RA

18 total

These remain performance fans rather than decorative RGB fans.

The RGB comes from the MO-RA lighting system itself, keeping radiator performance as the priority.


🧩 RGB CONTROL ARCHITECTURE

RGB ecosystem Hardware controlled
ASUS Aura Sync Motherboard + compatible 5 V aRGB
Phanteks D-RGB D30 fans + NEON + case lighting
Corsair iCUE LC100
Lian Li Wireless 4× Strimer
Watercool aRGB Both MO-RA systems
RGB software layer Optional synchronization/visual profiles

Critical rule

RGB software never becomes the cooling controller.

Fan speed, pump speed, coolant temperature and protection remain under the dedicated thermal-control architecture.


🌈 CYBER-ICE LIGHTING PROFILES

Mode Visual
💤 Idle Deep blue / ice blue, very low brightness
🧠 CPU Workload Blue → violet
🤖 AI / GPU Load Cyan → purple
🎬 Video Editing Neutral white + subtle blue
🎮 Gaming Cyan → blue → violet → magenta
❄️ Cooling Showcase Ice blue / white
⚠️ Thermal Warning Amber → red

So although the machine is fundamentally a professional workstation, the visual identity is unmistakably:

Modern flagship gaming-PC aesthetic 🌌🎮
