Just finished putting together my dream workstation and gaming rig after months of saving! Here are the full specs:

- GPU: ASUS ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 5090 32GB
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (16-Core / 32-Thread)
- Motherboard: ASUS ProArt X870E-Creator WiFi
- RAM: 64GB (2x32GB) G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 CL30
- Cooler: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 420 A-RGB
- Storage: Crucial T705 4TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD (14,500 MB/s)
- Case: Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO XL
- PSU: Seasonic PRIME TX-1300 ATX 3.1 Titanium

Temps are sitting at 28C idle on the CPU and 34C on the GPU. Under full Blender Cycles rendering, CPU peaks at 74C and the 5090 pulls ~580W while staying under 63C with ambient room temp at 21C.

What do you guys think of the cable routing? Any tips on optimizing the PBO curve or memory subtimings for this board?

Insane specs! Which power supply did you end up using for the 5090? Make sure you have at least a 1000W ATX 3.1 unit with native 12V-2×6 cable to handle high transient power spikes safely.

That 9950X + 5090 combo will chew through anything at 4K max settings with path tracing. What monitor are you pairing it with? An OLED 4K 240Hz would be the absolute dream pairing here.

Looks super clean! Are you running stock fan profiles or did you set an undervolt? On my rig, knocking 50mV off dropped temperatures by 7°C without losing a single frame in Cyberpunk.

Thanks everyone! To answer @gigacoder3966: I went with the Seasonic PRIME TX-1300 ATX 3.1. It comes with two native 12V-2×6 cables rated for 600W each. No adapter mess! Running custom CableMod unsleeved stealth combs. Will post 3DMark Steel Nomad and Cyberpunk 2077 Path Tracing benchmark charts tonight.
