Will overclocking be stable enough for running renders for a few days to a week at a time? I plan to have this rig for at least 4 years (with minor upgrades) and wouldn't want to hurt the life span of the cpu or its stability As mentioned - first build and I have never overclocked so I really don't know how I should go about this Thanks

After years with a MacBook Pro I decided to switch over to a pc. My main uses for the pc will be 3d work in Maya and Z-brush (modeling, rigging, texturing, animating and rendering), and graphic design in illustrator (and some photoshop). In addition I would like to be able to game with this rig. I came up with a part list, but have a few questions about the list/the build in general. PCPartPicker part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bhqwQV CPU: AMD - Ryzen 7 1800X 3.6GHz 8-Core Processor ($419.99 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: Corsair - H100i v2 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($109.99 @ Amazon) Motherboard: Asus - CROSSHAIR VI HERO ATX AM4 Motherboard ($236.99 @ SuperBiiz) Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3200 Memory ($319.99 @ Amazon) Storage: Samsung - 960 EVO 500GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($234.00 @ Amazon) Storage: Seagate - Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($83.61 @ OutletPC) Video Card: Asus - GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB STRIX GAMING Video Card ($779.99 @ Newegg) Case: Fractal Design - Define C with Window ATX Mid Tower Case ($69.99 @ SuperBiiz) Power Supply: Corsair - RMx 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($99.99 @ Amazon) Total: $2354.54 1. Is the ram compatible with Ryzen 7? and would I be able to achieve the mentioned 3200 Mhz clock speed? 2. Is the 1800x really worth it? I'm new to pc builds so I don't have a lot of knowledge about overclocking but I need this rig to be completely stable, even over multiple day renders of my 3d work - is that level of stability possible with overclocking? 3. should I get additional case fans besides the 2 included with the Define C and the ones on the 240 radiator? 4. does the rm750x PSU have a 4 pin cpu connector in addition to the 8 pin to connect to the crosshair vi hero, or is the 8 pin enough? thanks for any help

Thanks for the replies - but I still would like these questions to be answered I think I'll stick with Ryzen, but is the 1800x really worth it over the 1700x? I think ill overclock, but again, not sure about the stability.

So how about a build like this? If i downgrade from the 500gb nvme to 250, the build would cost only 60$ more PCPartPicker part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WjB7jc CPU: Intel - Core i7-7820X 3.6GHz 8-Core Processor ($678.75 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: Corsair - H100i v2 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($109.99 @ Amazon) Motherboard: Asus - PRIME X299-A ATX LGA2066 Motherboard ($309.99 @ Amazon) Memory: G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3200 Memory ($234.99 @ Newegg) Storage: Samsung - 960 EVO 250GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($127.99 @ Amazon) Video Card: Asus - GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB STRIX GAMING Video Card ($784.98 @ Newegg) Case: Fractal Design - Define C with Window ATX Mid Tower Case ($69.99 @ SuperBiiz) Power Supply: Corsair - RMx 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($99.99 @ Amazon) Total: $2416.67

So I got a little bit of a budget boost, and thought about this build. I have a few questions about it though: 1. Is the ram compatible with Ryzen 7? and would I be able to achieve the mentioned 3200 Mhz clock speed? 2. Is the 1800x really worth it? I'm new to pc builds so I don't have a lot of knowledge about overclocking but I need this rig to be completely stable, even over multiple day renders of my 3d work - is that level of stability possible with overclocking? 3. should I get additional case fans besides the 2 included with the Define C and the ones on the 240 radiator?

Is OC recommended for a workstation though? I plan on using this rig for at least 4-5 years (maybe with relatively small upgrades like increasing ram to 64 gigs and such) Also does atyone know if I won't have clearance issues with the D15 and ram sticks? Thanks

I am in the process of picking parts for a pc (mainly workstation, a little gaming). the main use will be 3d modeling, rigging and animating and rendering (mostly modeling), and 2d graphic design and video editing (Maya, Zbrush, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premier, After effects - from most used to least). My budget is somewhere in the neighborhood of 2K$. So far this is the setup I came up with - this is my first time building a pc so any comments about compatibility/performance and such would be appreciated. I currently have a 1080p monitor, but plan to upgrade to 4k in the future. Also I may like to replace the cooling to a custom water cooling loop (maybe via pre picked part kit like the ekwb p360).
