Introduction

In 2016, I built my first $4,000 ultimate system, the Broadwell II based i7-6800k 6-core, 12-thread beast of a computer. In 2019, we upgraded it to a monster 16 cores, 32 Threads Ryzen Threadripper 2950x. This article will focus on the process of upgrading the computer and the changes made to the storage configuration. Additionally, we will explore how to effectively use your new computer, with a special mention of Skillshare, an online learning platform that offers thousands of classes on various topics. Let's dive into the details of this upgrade!

Building the Ultimate Computer

The Broadwell II Build

Back in 2016, I invested in building an ultimate computer with the Broadwell II architecture. The i7-6800k processor with 6 cores and 12 threads provided exceptional performance for content creation tasks. This system served me well, but as technology advanced, I decided it was time for a major upgrade.

Upgrading to a Monster CPU

In 2019, I made the decision to replace the Broadwell II processor with the Ryzen Threadripper 2950x. With its monstrous 16 cores and 32 threads, this CPU offered unparalleled power and speed. In a separate benchmark comparison video, I compared the performance difference between the six-core Broadwell II and the Threadripper.

Benchmark Comparisons

To better showcase the performance improvement brought by the Threadripper upgrade, I conducted benchmark comparisons. However, please note that the benchmark results are not included in this article. You can find the link to the benchmark comparison video in the description below.

The Upgrade Process

Taking Apart the Tower

To begin the upgrade process, I documented the step-by-step process of taking apart the tower. By putting the camera overhead, I provided a clear view of how I removed all the parts from the tower, including the graphics card, drive cages, and liquid cooler.

Reusing Parts and Removing Storage

During the upgrade, I made a conscious effort to reuse certain parts such as the case, power supply, and memory. However, I did replace some of the storage components. I installed three NVMe drives and removed all the SATA drives, resulting in an empty and spacious interior.

Overkill Case and External Storage

One observation I made during the upgrade process is that the full tower case I used for the Broadwell II build seemed overkill for the new storage configuration. Since I relocated all the storage externally, a smaller case could have sufficed. Nevertheless, since I already had the case and power supply, I decided to utilize them for the upgrade.

Learning to Use Your New Computer

The First Steps

Building a content creation computer is just the first step. The next crucial step is to learn how to effectively use it. While the upgrade provides enhanced performance, maximizing its potential requires knowledge and skills in various areas. That's where Skillshare comes in.
