    Can I have OS and games etc on the same nvme?

    in New Builds and Planning

    Technically, it should work without any issues.

     

    I'll advise you on why it's better off installing the games on separate SSD.

    Say for example that your OS is crashed etc and unrecoverable by a mistake you did or may be Windows being Windows etc. The size of games are quite big these days and its hard to download about TBs of Games when you re-install the OS.

     

    So, one SSD for OS (250GB or 500GB) and 1TB+ for Games library as you wish. When you re-install the OS, you can just point your game launchers to where its installed and it should be able to recognise.

     

    Completely not necessary. Just for fool-proofing.

    I have used Nikon Z7 II before. The color and dynamic range is decent in those. I'd recommend looking at Z6 II just telling based on that I used Z7 II. I think it is within your budget as well. Might wanna look for adapters to use your current lenses. Look for reviews on Z6 II and see if it suits your needs.

    I know the Corsair units are very solid and reliable ones. Someone better versed in PSUs than me can probably pick which one is the absolute best, I'm not a power expert or anything.

    They are indeed old PSU units but are still respectable I believe. But I just want to make sure not to miss any good ones that are available for cheaper price.

    If you're going for airflow, I'd probably look at some other cases. The Corsair cases all have glass covering the intakes and exhaust vents, so airflow isn't gonna be great. The Lian Li has the best airflow out of those three, but I personally don't recommend it unless you're trying to do a custom water loop. You might want to look at the Phanteks P500a, the Corsair 5000D rather than the -X variant, or something from Fractal Design's Meshify line.

    Alright, let me check some Phanteks and Fractals' case. I've built couple systems on P400A they were good indeed.

    You probably don't need this nice of a motherboard. I'm not gonna fault you for getting it, I like the super high end motherboards as well, but you're probably gonna be better off getting a cheaper board like the B550 Tomahawk or if you need the gen4 support the X570 Tuf, and then upgrading your RAM to 64GB. 

    X570 for overclocking and Gen4 PCIe, yes 🙂 I saw some cheaper options. But the price difference are very small between TUF and ROG's. I'll have another look around.

    AMD 5950x build for Workstation + Gaming purpose

    After waiting for a long time, Intel's new release in Intel Xeon W series aren't that promising. Especially on single core performance. I expected that anyway. So I decided to go for a 5950x build for my friend's workstation + gaming build.

     

    Main usage of this build is for 3D DCC apps which heavily uses a Quadro GPU and the VRAM.

     

    My initial spec are:

     

    * AMD Ryzen 5950x

    * Asus ROG X570 F Gaming or E Gaming (mostly leaning towards E Gaming because of the small price difference and WiFi+Bluetooth is an added advantage)

    * G Skill Trident Z RGB Neo 16GB x 2 at 3600Mhz CL16 or the same spec in Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB (both are same price)

    * PNY Nvidia RTX A4000 16GB VRAM

    * Samsung 980 Pro 500GB SSD for OS

    * Samsung 870 evo 2TB for Scratch Drives (haven't decided this yet)

    * Corsair H150i RGB Pro XT 360mm Liquid Cooler

    * WD Red Plus 4TB x 2

    * BenQ 2700U 4K monitor or Asus ProArt Display PA279CV 4k monitor.

     

    Things I could not decide, yet.

     

    * Corsair RM1000x or RM1000i or RM1000 or Antec HCG Extreme 1000w or Silverstone Strider Platinum Series 1000w (SS-ST1000-PTS) <--- Can't decide on which one to go yet. They're all of similar price. 1000w for future proofing 🙂 Is the Silverstone unit good? I can't see this particular unit on our Tier or Whitelist pages though.

    * Corsair iCUE 5000x or Corsair Crystal 570x or Lian Li Dynamic O11 Black Tempered <--- Can't decide on which one to go yet. My requirement is a good airflow case with good clearance for 360mm radiator. Should have at least 2 x 3.5" bays. Additional bays are better!

     

    I love more cores. Because some of the applications that my friend uses love more cores. A4000 GPU is a must 🙂

     

    If you are finding better components on the initial specs and it makes sense for the use case, please do let me know.

     

    I get most of these things offline. But for comparison and availability, I use the following websites.

    Buy a second m.2 and raid or just buy a 1tb

    Raid just causes a bunch of headaches to set up or transfer to other computers or when you reinstall windows or whatever.

    And yeah, also data loss.

    All for pretty much 0 noticeable performance improvement.

     

    A single SSD is more speed than your OS or programs can use, unless you do lots of video editing or other stuff.

    +1.

     

    I highly doubt if that M.2 can not fulfill the requirement in Video editing. That SSD can do 3500/3000. It's plenty fast imo :)

    To be honest, WDS is very bad; sometimes halves the bandwidth. AFAIK, it is most compatible when both the devices are same and have WDS. I had bad experience with this. Better look for Wireless Repeater or extender.

    One of my friend's Cooler Master ML240L RGB leaked all over GPU and some parts in motherboard. I came to knew about it after some days. Cooler Master replaced it and they even paid me for the motherboard and the GPU as its because of their product ;) Bonus point is, I got to get him a better motherboard and GPU. He had basic Z370 and GTX 1060. Now he is rocking Z390 F Gaming and an RTX 2060 :)

    GA-A320M-H VRM overheat?

    I am building a pc with Ryzen 3 2300X on GigaByte GA-A320M-H. I noticed that on the motherboard there is no radiator for VRM.

    Will there be any VRM overheating with this CPU, or everything should be fine?

    You're good there mate. Normally a low end motherboard doesn't need VRM heatsinks. They don't get too hot. Especially for a 2300x.

    Can a Intel cpu part of the M series be overclocked?

    me neither, that's why I wanted to see it...

     

    I personally never tried bclk in general...

    Overclocking with BCLK isn't a good idea, generally.

     

    It could cause damage to CPU, PCIe cards, North Bridge, RAM., etcc whatever is connected on Motherboard, basically.

     

    But, most of the time this wouldn't happen. Especially if you have a super high end motherboard.

     

    Motherboards in laptop are like "there" for CPU to work and support other basic stuff. I guess that's why they don't include BCLK in any of it.
