Hi All,
Been an avid viewer of LTT and other tech channels but always used Macs for all my stuff (PC's at work).
I decided that the hardware has been sub par lately so ventured into the PC space for a workstation (Adobe, Avid, Etc.)
Made the conscious choice to go anti RGB and I was surprised how easy it is event in 2021!
I had a budget of around AUD$4k (USD$3.1k, CAD$3.8k) for this one and didn't need any peripherals.
It is my first PC build and I surprised myself how much I read the manual 😉
Specs:
ASRock Z490 Phantom Gaming-ITX/TB3 Mini-ITX Motherboard
Intel Core i9 10850K 10-Core 3.60GHz Unlocked
Kingston HyperX FURY 64GB (2x 32GB) DDR4 3200MHz Memory
Samsung 980 Pro 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070 GAMING OC 8GB Video Card - Was pretty much the only one left in Sydney!
Cooler Master MasterBox NR200 Mini-ITX Case
Running FurMark and AIDA64 I sit around 90deg on the CPU @4.6GHz and 72deg on the GPU with no throttling
I have a few jobs lined up to get the most out of it in the coming weeks!
