TLDW on his hardware recommendations?
The parts from the build according to the youtube description:
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X
GIGABYTE TRX50 AERO D Motherboard
Samsung SSD 9100 PRO 2TB SSD
Noctua NH-U14S TR5-SP6 Cooler
Intel Arc B580 GPU
Fractal Design Torrent E-ATX Case
Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 1600W 80+ Titanium PSU
ASUS ProArt Display PA32QCV 31.5" 6K HDR Monitor
That's such a weird build, why have that PSU? That build doesn't get even close to requiring 1600W, the CPU + GPU are at around 550W together
Torvalds likes his computer quiet so that psu with so much overhead, the fan probably won’t ever turn on.
Just don't put fans in to begin with. Run the rig in a container full of mineral oil.
