64 Zen 5 cores. 128 threads. 128GB DDR5 ECC. Hand-built in Vaughan, Ontario for serious multi-threaded compute at a workstation-tier price.
Best for: Heavy multi-threaded rendering, simulation, code compilation, video production, and hybrid creative workflows that need raw CPU horsepower with a capable mid-high consumer GPU.
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9980X is the non-Pro 64-core Zen 5 HEDT chip — 128 threads of modern architecture on the TRX50 platform with quad-channel DDR5 and full PCIe 5.0. Paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti (16GB GDDR7, DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation), 128GB of DDR5-5600 ECC RDIMM, and 4TB of Gen4 NVMe storage on the ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE platform. Cooled by a 420mm be quiet! Silent Loop 3 AIO and housed in the silent Fractal Design Define 7 XL. 2–4 week lead time from order placement.

Workload Profile
Who Should Buy This
Buy this if: Your workload is heavily multi-threaded — rendering in Blender, V-Ray, Octane, Redshift; large-scale simulation; code compilation; video transcoding; or content creation where 64 modern cores will finish jobs much faster than a high-clock 16-core. You don't need a professional ECC-VRAM GPU and the consumer RTX 5070 Ti (16GB GDDR7 + DLSS 4) is the right balance of performance and cost. You want HEDT-class platform power (TRX50 with quad-channel ECC DDR5, full PCIe 5.0) at a workstation-tier price.
Skip this if: You need a professional GPU with ECC VRAM for production AI/ML training — see the 9980X + RTX Pro 6000 build ($52,999) or step up to Threadripper Pro 9985WX + RTX Pro 6000 ($74,999) for full WRX90 platform features. For pure gaming, see our Fully Built & Ready Gaming PCs.
Why This CPU + GPU Pairing
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9980X is the non-Pro HEDT 64-core Zen 5 chip — 128 threads of modern architecture with high boost clocks and significant per-core IPC improvements over previous generations. On the ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WiFi platform you get quad-channel DDR5 with ECC RDIMM support, 88 PCIe 5.0 lanes, and full HEDT connectivity. Paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti — 16GB GDDR7 Blackwell GPU with DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation — this is a system tuned for buyers whose primary bottleneck is CPU multi-threading, not GPU compute. The 420mm be quiet! Silent Loop 3 AIO is essential for keeping the 64-core 350W TDP chip cool under sustained load, and the Fractal Design Define 7 XL's solid panel + sound-dampening construction keeps the build whisper-quiet during long render jobs.
Upgrade Path
The sTR5 socket accepts the full Threadripper 9000-series — upgrade to 9990X (96 cores) when available, or move to the Threadripper Pro line on WRX90 platform for full 8-channel memory and additional PCIe lanes. The ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WiFi supports up to 2TB of DDR5 ECC. Additional NVMe drives can be added for tiered storage. The 1200W PSU has headroom for next-generation GPU upgrades. The Define 7 XL has clearance and airflow for any current workstation GPU.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the lead time?
2 to 4 weeks from the day your order is placed to delivery or Vaughan pickup. This covers consultation, component sourcing, hand-assembly, and our full burn-in and stability test cycle. For urgent timelines, call us at (905) 247-7085 to discuss accelerated options.
How does the Threadripper 9980X (non-Pro) compare to Threadripper Pro 9985WX?
The 9980X is the non-Pro Zen 5 Threadripper on the TRX50 platform with quad-channel DDR5 ECC and 88 PCIe 5.0 lanes. The 9985WX is the Pro variant on WRX90 with eight-channel DDR5, 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes, and full Pro feature set. Both are 64-core Zen 5 chips with similar gaming and lightly-threaded performance. For heavy memory-bandwidth-sensitive workloads (some simulations, large in-memory databases) the Pro's eight-channel memory matters. For most rendering, compilation, and content-creation workloads, the 9980X delivers excellent value at significantly lower cost.
Can I customize the configuration?
Yes — RAM capacity, storage tier, GPU selection, and OS are all configurable to your workload. Call (905) 247-7085 or message us through our contact page to discuss requirements and receive a tailored quote.
Does this support ECC memory?
Yes — this build ships with 128GB of DDR5-5600 ECC Registered RDIMM (4×32GB). ECC error correction throughout for long-running professional workloads. The ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WiFi supports up to 2TB total DDR5 ECC across 8 DIMM slots.
Can I upgrade the GPU later?
Yes — the 1200W 80+ Gold PSU has headroom for any current consumer GPU including the RTX 5090. For professional GPUs (RTX 6000 Ada, RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell) or multi-GPU configurations we recommend specifying at build time. The Fractal Design Define 7 XL has clearance and airflow for any current workstation GPU.
What OS does this ship with?
Configurable. Common choices: Windows 11 Pro for Workstations, Windows Server, Ubuntu / RHEL / Rocky Linux for compute and AI workloads, or Proxmox / ESXi for virtualization hosts. Specify your preference at order time and we'll install and activate before shipping.
What's the warranty?
All custom workstations ship with a 1-year parts and labour warranty backed directly by GamerTech. Extended warranties and on-site service contracts are available for business orders — call (905) 247-7085 for details.
