By Kabro Go To PostI do love me Fractal Designs.It’s a good choice, especially decked out with decent fans for intake at the front.
Meshify s2 it is then!
Coming from a background in manufacturing and factory work, this shit is so fucking interesting to me.
I'm about to join Zabo in the Accelero III club. Should be arriving tomorrow, got all day free too.
I won't be using the stock fans though. I've got some shitty Raijintek RGB fans for now, but they'll be getting replaced with the new Noctuas eventually.

By Zabojnik Go To PostStock fans are fine, honestly. Quiet and performant enough, I've felt no need to upgrade.
But for the aesthetics! Well more precisely, with 120mm fans in my current case, air can be pulled through the heatsink and exhausted out the case directly. So I can get the benefits of a blower card, with much better thermals and acoustics.
It arrived earlier today, holding off installing it for now since I forgot to order some more isopropyl, but I’m pleased with the packaging and quality of it. No bent fins, and a nice hefty premium feel to it. Fucking meaty.
Did you use the thermal adhesive included or tape in the end? I can’t remember
By HottestVapes Go To PostDid you use the thermal adhesive included or tape in the end? I can’t rememberI didn't want a (semi-)permanent solution, so I went with thermal tape. It's not great and neither are the included tiny aluminium heatsinks, but since it was enough to keep ram / vrm temps below the recommended max, I eventually stopped caring about it.

I feel you, I was watching one of Buildzoid’s videos on overclocking a 2080Ti with a Morpheus II and no heatsinks on the VRAM/VRM.
Seems the VRM on the 2080Ti is efficient enough that just airflow alone can keep it cool, but I’m not sure on the GDDR6 and what kind of heat it can handle.
By HottestVapes Go To PostSeems the VRM on the 2080Ti is efficient enough that just airflow alone can keep it cool, but I’m not sure on the GDDR6 and what kind of heat it can handle.Should be the standard 95°C.
By diehard Go To PostGDDR6 needs heatsinks.
That's the logical assumption, especially given how close a few of the chips are to the VRMs to the right of the GPU die. Yet it seems fine without any heatsinks at all and just two 120mm fans blowing through a Morpheus II heatsink in these videos, even with a decent overclock on the GDDR6.
However, there's no temperature monitoring on the GDDR6, so I'll still go with heatsinks on them for peace of mind. It's just a shame there's not a lot of information out there on this shit yet. There's fucking tonnes of information on the 1080TI with aftermarket coolers.
With the way Intel has been grabbing people from AMD, Nvidia, etc... I’m really curious how their videocards end up turning out and what kind of impact they can make in the videocard market.

A look back at CaseLabs:
I'm not sure if I'll ever replace my SM8 Merlin. Still a shame to know how the company ended up.

Do you all feel the diference on faster sticks or can I can settle for a around 2800hz?

I've never configured a workstation that supported anything above JEDEC/Intel standards, of which 2666mhz is. If you are on Intel then those speeds with sufficiently low timings will be pretty close to XMP profile sticks with higher frequencies on content creation applications, generally within a few percent.
Games running at low resolutions will show more of an impact but it's definitely not worth worrying about if you need to bring along sticks you already have or something..

cool cool. that will save me a lot of money going with 2600hz
this will be a completely new build.
brand new parts from top to bottom.
not sure if i'm team red or intel yet.
i'll decide when I see benchmarks on apps I use (maya, Nuke, After Effects, Premiere, Da vinci)
but I do want to start buying parts now, like case/chasis, memory, nvme, power supply, etc.
I also heard about heating issues on nvme m.2 cards.
are those still an issue with later models?
Im thinking of having a samsung 970 Evo Plus for Os and Apps
and another one for Scratch/Caching.

Yep thermal throttling is still a thing for NVMe controllers, it just doesn't usually affect many people. Like a 970 Evo won't hit thermal throttling (I think Samsung calls it thermal guard or something) until you have written nearly 1TB of data to it without any breaks. On that particular drive i wouldn't worry about it unless you are hitting it crazy hard.
You will probably want to hold off on buying ram until you pick out a motherboard. Particularly if you go with AMD as Ryzen CPUs are a bit more picky/finicky when it comes to faster ram.
Also, you may want to look at the "endurance" rating of the SSD you will be using for saving your creative work to. An SSD is good for only so many writes before it won't accept anymore (though you will always be able to read from it). See how much data you typically save to disk in a work day/week/whatever and make sure the life of the drive is not too short for you.
As an example, the 970 EVO Plus 1TB has an endurance of 600 TBW. Meaning, it will be able to write a minimum of 600 TB before no longer being able to accept more writes. If you write 1TB of data to it a week, it will last you beyond the 5-year warranty (11.5 years).
I normally wouldn't bring this up, but I'm pretty sure the type of video work you are doing can result in lots of huge file sizes so this is one of the few cases it matters.

Good point But its only cache/ scratch data that i'd potentially lose and thats no biggy assuming ill use one of the nvme ssd as a scratch.
Like for example this current vfx project, i have about 75 shots on 4k plates. Rendering out EXRs ranging anywhere from 24 frames to 200 frames. And each EXR is 50MB. I have another job lined up and the plates are 8k so the EXR file size will scale accordingly (this is the main reason I need to upgrade, my workstation cant handle 8k resolution).
I still have a 4x raid 0 on HDDs that i can port over. Ill just keep my footage and project files there.
I really have no idea how much data i write per week. But 600TB seems to be plenty enough. Maybe ill just replace every few years to be on the safe side.

By HottestVapes Go To PostThis is why you buy the plain Asetek OEM coolers and not the AIOs that Corsair/NZXT fuck with/add spyware to.Almost all problems with CLC's have been Asetek's fault (obviously because it's almost always an Asetek pump) so you cant really use them as an example of quality against a specific line with a less than 1% effected issue.

True but at least you don't suffer with garish RGB on top on those issues.
Is pump noise noticeable on AIO units normally?

It depends on how it’s installed and how quiet/loud the rest of your PC is,
The quieter your other components, the more likely you’ll notice the pump noise.
The new Platinum range seems vastly improved over the older Corsair stuff. I have mine set to quiet and I really can't hear it.
The older units yeah. That's why i switched the the Kraken AIO at the time.

wondering if its worth it for me to try to squeeze the last bit of quality I can out of my current build... i53570k + 16gb DD3 + Titan X (thx smokey still running strong) gpu.
1080p definitely resulting in some bottlenecks. The absolute best I can do for this mobo is i73770k. Some sites say it's not worth it, while one in particular is saying it'll give a solid 20% improvement in bottleneck. Seeing used i73770k's in the 140 range on ebay.
Question is if the i53570k @ 1440p can still hang on and do well for another year or so before I'm ready for a full new build. Do yall think 1080p to 1440p and i5 to i7 will be a worthy budget upgrade before committing to a full new build?

By Dark PhaZe Go To Postwondering if its worth it for me to try to squeeze the last bit of quality I can out of my current build… i53570k + 16gb DD3 + Titan X (thx smokey still running strong) gpu.Good news: increasing the resolution will actually lessen the impact of the bottleneck caused by your CPU, kinda. You can get the same fps regardless of resolution if the CPU is your bottleneck at each of those resolutions.

What Kibner said. Going to 1440p will ease some off of your current proc. 140 isn't all that much so if you want to extend the platform for just a little longer, I'd cop the 3770k. But yeah, it's about that time fam. And when you do upgrade, whew.

Scrap the i7 off for now, just go for 1440p and do a full upgrade later on
thanks yall
also, doubt many of you know given i doubt any of you have sub 144hz monitors, but how good is enhanced vsync stuff these days? Considering a placeholder 4k 60 hz monitor as well in the short term...trying to choose between that an 1440p 144hz

Enhanced vsync? What is that? If it is variable refresh rate, it just means you won't have screen tearing or as much input lag from buffers when your fps drops below the native refresh rate. It is still far less responsive than a higher refresh rate monitor. For me, I can't really notice above 90 hz/fps.
By diehard Go To Postif gaming is your primary use, absolutely without a doubt go with 1440p 144hz over 4k 60hz.
yea, most likely will go this route!

I guess I was referring to Nvidia Fast Sync:
https://beebom.com/what-is-nvidia-fast-sync-enable/
fast sync is good but if you are getting a brand new monitor it will almost certainly have freesync, which now works on Nvidia cards.
