Quiet PC Serenity AMD Threadripper Workstation

There is no denying that AMD’s popularity has soared since it released the first generation of their Ryzen processors. AMD continues to push the boundaries of their 7nm “Zen 2” architecture, with the release of the 3rd Gen Ryzen Threadripper CPUs.

Based around the 3rd generation AMD Ryzen Threadripper and the TRX40 chipset the Serenity AMD Threadripper Workstation is one beast of a machine! It can be configured with a CPU that boasts up to 32 cores and 64 threads and up to a massive 128GB of DDR4 RAM. Of course this comes at a high cost, so for customers looking for extreme performance without having to remortgage their house, AMD have a more “cost effective” CPU that features 24 cores and 48 threads. This “lower” performing CPU still packs a massive punch. Therefore, if you are looking for a very serious powerhouse of a PC then look no further than the Serenity AMD Threadripper Workstation.

A serious PC for the serious user!

The high core count of these CPUs is just one of the amazing benefits the AMD Threadripper offers. The CPUs also feature AMD SenseMI Technology, 7nm “Zen 2” Architecture, Quad-channel DDR4 ECC memory, an unprecedented 88 PCIe Gen4 lanes and massive combined cache of up to 128MB. What all this means is that you’ll have a PC that breezes through tasks like 3D modelling, every stage of your creative process (including VFX, modelling, editing, tracking and mastering), and video rendering, all at blistering speeds. You can even experience game levels as you develop them, test new content in real-time, or just game for the fun of it while your PC compiles and renders. AMD Threadripper processors are so powerful, you don’t need to stop producing while you play. But don’t take our word for it, Digital Trends have published the following article, AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3 vs. Intel Cascade Lake X and we highly recommend you take a look.

Storage considerations

When specifying your new PC’s storage options using our system configurator below, you will be offered a choice of drives which vary by price and capacity. There are two primary types of storage. A conventional hard disk drive (HDD) offers huge storage capacity for a low price, but it won’t be especially fast and it will generate a certain amount of running noise since it contains a constantly-rotating spindle. A solid state (SSD) or a M2 drive on the other hand, offer tremendous speed and absolute silent operation, but they cost more than an HDD for any given capacity.

So if you need a lot of storage space (for videos or large quantities of digital photos for example), then we would recommend an HDD. On the other hand, if you prefer silence and speed (especially boot-up speed), then an SSD or M2 drive would be a better choice. Of course, you can have more than one drive, so you could have the best of both worlds by choosing one of each! We recommend that customers choose an SSD or M2 drive as a boot drive that contains the operating system and important programs. A conventional HDD would store other data but remember that if you intend to have a totally silent PC, you might want to forgo the HDDs altogether as they will make some noise due to their moving parts.

Clean Build™ Promise

The price of many pre-built PCs these days is often supported by cash kickbacks from software companies who pay hardware manufacturers to pre-install limited or trial versions of their software and then hope that the customer pays to upgrade to the full version. The downside to this approach is that the new PC comes pre-loaded with a lot of “junkware” which bloats the operating system and can cause severe performance degradation.

Here at Quiet PC we believe that customers have every right to expect the best possible performance from a brand new PC, so every system we build comes with our Clean Build™ promise. We install the operating system (if you order one), motherboard drivers, OS updates and Microsoft Security Essentials / Windows Defender - that’s it. You won’t be pestered by pop-ups and nag screens and you can get on with using your new PC immediately without having to uninstall lots of junkware first. Your new machine will boot in super-quick time and will stay running quickly for many months and years to come.

Free hardware support and fully inclusive warranty

We offer free hardware technical support for as long as you own the machine. This support covers any hardware query or problem, including advice on maintenance and upgrades. We regret we can’t offer software support or training so we would recommend contacting the software vendor in this instance.

Our hardware warranty runs for two years and is “collect and return” meaning that UK customers don’t need to worry about getting the machine back to us - we will instruct our courier to collect it from you on a day of your choosing, we will also return it back to you once it has been repaired. International customers will need to return the PC back to us at their cost, but we will return the PC back at our cost once it has been repaired. In addition, unlike many other PC suppliers, we have an “open-case” policy which means you are free to open the machine and perform your own minor modifications or upgrades without worrying that your warranty might be affected.
