    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series!

    I suppose I was pointing out that going for the unbranded could result in you getting a card with bad decoupling if PCS purchasing are just grabbing what they can. Only having premium branded cards makes the cost between the two quite large. If I could I would order with NOT Zotec that would be...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series!

    Just limiting the cards via the driver still leaves the problem that some cards have a small noise margin due to poor decoupling. Capacitor aging could then kill the cards earlier.

    I am interested in getting a RTX 3090 card (has to be Nvidia for AI software) but with the Crashing problem due to decoupling capacitor choice my the manufacture I would like to know which card it is as Zotec come off really bad with no ceramics under the GPU . Palit look better with two banks...

    Was staying with NVidia graphics as read some video software cannot use Radeon, the web says Adobe can so you could change graphics card to Radeon 5nnn as they are PCIe gen 4 so the interface is better and the bench tests are a bit quicker than the 1650. The 5500 (10% quicker) is in budget with...

    The Wireless card can be dropped as you can add later if you find you need it saves £8. If you Google Ryzen 9 5900X and go to the AMD site it will give the max RAM speed and you will find the RAM is matched to the CPU @ 3200MHz. If you drop the power supply to the minimum and hit proceed it will...

    The "1TB SAMSUNG 980 PRO M.2" is there you need to scroll the dropdown to get to it. It's the grey one at the bottom as still out of stock. The stupidly large graphics card is for the AI software that needs the 24GB or so I am told by the web.

    I have only dabbled in video editing so not sure where the main work load is the CPU or GPU (Graphics Card) which does the video display and at the end any transcoding you need. For games the GPU does the display rendering giving the nice display. For the CPU it is probably better to go for a...

    PCS grey out items when they run out of stock so the ASUS Prime TX40-Pro is out of stock (ETA 10/12/20) but selectable if you don't mind waiting. The 1TB SAMSUNG 980 PRO M.2 is also out of stock (ETA 16/12/20) but again can be selected. I am thinking of 2 off 500MB SAMSUNG 980 PRO M.2 and then...

    You should add the URL from the bottom of the page so it is easier for us to look at your options. Are you using V-Ray Next CPU or V-Ray Next GPU as it will change the balance between CPU and GPU. You could look at a M.2 PCIe SSD for the system as this matches the speed of the rest if the system...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Any recommendations for changes?

    The 1TB SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2, PCIe NVMe (up to 3500MB/R, 3300MB/W) is on M.2 PCIe and is running 6 times faster than the 2TB Samsung 870 QVO 2.5" SSD, SATA 6Gb/s (up to 560MB/sR | 530MB/sW) so it is being slowed by the interface 6Gb/s = 600MB/s but with packet overhead =about 560MB/s...

    I will expect you will be asked why not AMD but that aside. SSDs on SATA are limited by the interface so you should make M.2 PCIe or change to HDD to save money. The AX200 wireless card is a better option if you are using WIFI otherwise better to use cable and not bother with WIFI.

    Yes AMD suggest liquid cooling. The CORSAIR H150I RGB PRO XT and COOLERMASTER MASTERLIQUID ML360 RG suggested only fit in the front of a case and unless the flow direction is reversed blow hot air onto the 24GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3090 which is trying to get rid of 350W which does not seem to be...

    You have not said if you need any extras such as DVD or Blue-Ray so have not included. After effects likes 32GB of RAM and a 4GB graphics card will help with transcoding. A reasonable CPU is also need so a difficult balance with to keep within the price range. I have included a reasonably size...

    This build is for some gaming but mainly for AI development which is the reason for the graphics card. Cost is on the limit. Can PCS RAID 0 the two M.2 PCIe SSDs. Are 2 fans in the case enough or should I add two top fans to remove the graphic card heat. Case CORSAIR CARBIDE SERIES™ 200R...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST I hope my son is happy with this.

    You could Change SSD to M.2 PCIe which will be faster as the SATA interface limits the possible speed of a SSD. The TUF X570-PLUS motherboard will save you some money with similar performance unless there are particular features of the CROSSHAIR VIII HERO you want. The Intel Wireless card will...

    The Intel® Core™ i7 Eight Core Processor 10875H has two memory channels so go for two SODIMMS if you can as you will get twice the speed (GB/s) as the CPU will read the 2 in parallel as long as the motherboard is correctly wired. Only PCS will know if it is.

    The AMD Ryzen 3 3100 has two memory channels so you should go for two DIMMS as this will give you twice the speed (GB/s) of one DIMM (the CPU will use both in parallel). If going for a SSD better to go for M.2 PCIe as this stops the SSD being limited by the interface to the motherboard. You get...

    3. Most graphic card manufacturers us the "Standard design" from NVIDIA but do add there own tweaks to improve them, last time I looked (years ago) EVGA (GTX970) was good for overclocking. 4. 2 x 8GB 3200MHz would be better as the i9-10900K has 2 memory channels so is well matched. The 4 x...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Gaming Laptop - Any good?

    Changing the Memory(RAM) to (2 x 8GB) should increase the memory speed as the i7 10875H processor has 2 memory channels and can access both SODIMMs at once. Cannot check if the motherboard get in the way of this. Each SODIMM if 8 bytes wide so for example 2 x 8GB @ 2133MHz by 8 bytes = 34.128...
