LGR - Threadripper 3970X PC Build (Patreon)

So this project came together smoothly! And was even smoother to edit and render thanks to the resulting PC here.

Yep, wasn't sure if I'd be making a video about this or not since modern machines aren't the usual LGR fare. But I recorded the whole process anyway just in case, then decided to go through with it after receiving the encouragement from you here on Patreon and over on Twitter!

This is by far the most powerful computer I've ever assembled, and wow, what a fantastic step up. I've been putting it through more and more benchmarks and tests each day since recording what you see in the video, and it hasn't yet broken a sweat. Although really, the fact that it cut my video rendering times to a quarter of what they were before is good by me. Then there's just the overall more efficient editing process with things like much smoother high-res scrubbing, encoding Cineform proxies, applying and tweaking effects in real time, and loading all my footage across an array of lightning fast drives. It's a load off my creative shoulders, seriously, and it's encouraging me to try a few new things that were more cumbersome before.

Anyway enjoy the build vid, and I hope you have a nice and safe week!
