Domin8 Performance
Let’s get into the juicy details. For its processor, the 8Pack Domin8 is equipped with the Intel Xeon W9-3495X, part of the Sapphire Rapids generation. This professional CPU has a whopping 56 cores, 112 threads, and 105MB of Intel Smart Cache. Perfect for handling intensive workloads and keeping operations efficient. What’s more, it has been overclocked by 8Pack to its maximum stable performance, enabling the very best from this CPU. You get about 45% extra performance thanks to this overclock!
Moving onto graphics, the 8Pack Domin8 is fitted with two – yes, two! – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPUs, both sporting dedicated EK water blocks to maintain temperatures. With the graphical prowess of Ada Lovelace architecture, these graphics cards will render your images, be they creative projects or the latest AAA game, in beautiful, photo-realistic quality and with buttery smooth frame rates. They have been overclocked and configured to work in tandem, sharing the workload for optimised performance.
To keep operations smooth and efficient whilst you tackle intensive workloads, the 8Pack Domin8 has 256GB DDR5 RAM at frequencies of 4800MHz. This is installed in an octo-channel configuration, utilising all eight memory channels on the ASUS Pro WS W790 Sage motherboard. With the workload spread across eight memory sticks, the 8Pack Domin8 is perfect for digital rendering and data crunching. Plus, each module is fitted with a custom heat spreader, to prevent overheating.
Peak performance all the way.
Power to Domin8
If it wasn’t a dead give away, the 8Pack Domin8 is designed to be a powerhouse workstation. As such, it is supported by a comprehensive storage solution and power supply.
As standard, the 8Pack Domin8 is fitted with five storage drives, for a total of 48TB. Running out of space will never be a worry with this PC! Primary storage is supplied by two Corsair Gen 5 2TB NVME SSDs, ideal for your operating system and frequently used programs. There is ample space for current projects and files on the WD 850X Gen 4 4TB SSD, whilst the two WD Red 20TB HDDs are perfect to use for archived files, finished media, and other documents.
So far, we’ve listed a whole ruck of elite-tier components. To keep up with this and provide extra headroom for upgrades (pfft, upgrades?!), there are two Superflower 8Pack Edition 2000W Modular PSUs. Each power supply sports an 80 PLUS Platinum rating, ensuring 92% efficiency at half loads.
Domin8 Cooling
A star feature of the 8Pack Domin8 is its water-cooling system, for two reasons. One, it is stunning. Two, it has been crafted with a scientific approach to optimise efficiency and maximise thermal performance. This dual water-cooling system is fitted with bespoke and custom hardware, designed especially for the 8Pack Domin8. One loop serves the graphics cards, whilst the other cools the rest of the system. Both are fitted with Phanteks D30 fans, harnessing high-static pressure to facilitate outstanding airflow. Each loop can also be individually controlled, thanks to the two included Aquaero fan controllers.
8Pack has teamed up with Nexalus to craft a range of bespoke components for the Domin8. The first of these are the two Nexalus 8Pack Radiators, measuring a whopping 480mm long and 240mm wide. Their massive surface area provides an excellent and efficient platform for exhausting heat from the system. Both loops have their own dedicated Nexalus 8Pack Pump, optimised to provide a 25% increase in flow whilst taking up 30% less space. Efficient in many ways!
Of course, it’s not an 8Pack PC without a bespoke water block or two. The 8Pack Domin8 features a custom-built mono-block that cools both the motherboard VRMs and CPU. A beautiful combination of form and function, this efficiently cools whilst sporting a bold hexagonal design. Other bespoke water-blocks are also used throughout the build.
With no detail too small, even the coolant and thermal paste have been crafted to ensure the very best. Enhancing efficiency over traditional systems, the 8Pack Nexalus Fluid allows mixed metals within the cooling loop, so each surface can be manufactured utilising the most efficient metal for the job. Plus, the 8Pack HydroNex Thermal Paste offers ultra-low thermal resistance, outperforming other pastes on the market!
The 8Pack Domin8 has best-in-class cooling performance, for sure!
Domin8 Style
If you’re going to dominate, do it in style. The 8Pack Domin8 has a unique, white aesthetic with classic 8Pack branding, making it ready to be the centrepiece of your desk.
The hardware is housed inside a Corsair 1000D Super Tower PC Case, which has been modified to better suit the demands of this PC and dubbed the “1008D”. Functionality for the two PSUs has been added, as well as Cerakote paint on the panels. With the elevated front panel featuring hexagonal cutouts, the 8Pack Domin8 is distinct whilst facilitating natural airflow and an excellent showcase of the hardware within. The iconic hexagonal cutouts are used throughout the chassis, marking this extreme PC with true 8Pack style. Plus, the whole build is illuminated by a custom-built lightbox. Shiny.
Domin8 Your Way
The 8Pack Domin8 already provides excellent performance with impeccable style, but we understand that sometimes these things need tweaking. You might need more power or a change in aesthetic to better fit your vibe. This extreme PC comes with a comprehensive selection of customising options which you can configure before purchase with our Prestige Systems Advisor. Give them a call on 01782 940 193 to make the 8Pack Domin8 truly your own. Here are just some of the options waiting for you:
- Graphics: Two RTX 4090s not enough for you? You can instal up to four GPUs within this build or even opt for NVIDIA Quadro graphics cards arranged in NVLink.
- Memory: RAM kits are available up to 4TB in capacity.
- Storage: There are alternate storage drives to choose from, so you can create your perfect storage solution.
- Cosmetic: Colours of the paint, coolant, and cables can all be configured to suit your style.
Please note that any changes may affect performance, price, and lead time. 8Pack systems typically take 36 working days. This will be longer in busier periods.
