The Motherboard for the CPU
I have recently bought the Threadripper PRO 9000 for my Gigabyte TRX50 AI TOP Motherboard. Since the Threadripper is so big, it tends to overheat a lot. So I would suggest getting a water cooling fan for it. The motherboard itself has a quad channel so it can hold 8 sticks of ram. It has 4 6Gb sata connectors and 3 M.2 connectors. There are 4 PCIE slots.
The CPU
I find this CPU to be really nice for this motherboard, it runs everything so smooth and super fast. There are defienitly better options for this motherboard, and there are a lot cheaper motherboards in general. The motherboard is around $1,900 and the CPU is around $8,000 so just for those two things you are spending around $9,900 and there is still more to make the computer run well.

Final Thoughts
I think this is a really good cpu if you have the money to spare. It feels really smooth and is really fast. I spent a decent chunk of change on this and it was worth it if you have the money, if not you can defienetly find a lot better cheaper options, but if you have a good chunk of money to blow I would definitely get this. It is a very nice option and a great choice, jsut very pricey but it is definitely good, but it is not worth buying this over something less expensive.
