For anyone's interest, this was results of running a benchmark on AC Valhalla. Will try CB r23 later. Thanks for all the advice. I am liasiing with the supplier asking to put in an additional raditator as an option.

Contacted them to see what they can do

Hi I got a custom loop pc built for me by a UK supplier. The first 5950x I got with it had to be RMAed for constant shutdowns at low power state. Got the new one and been running for a couple of months. RM is set to default. I have no overclock in bios. I do however get temps of 50c for 1% cpu usage and it will kick up to 85c or higher under load such as a game. GPU (3090) sits at 40c when idle and 60c under load. The supplier said this is in normal parameters for a 5950x. I am worried I am throttling and I have had shut down due to CPU hitting 95 on several occasions. My cooling is a 360 rad from Corsair for both CPU and GPU with a Lian Li distro plate running pump at constant 100%. I have attached the picture of the rig as provided by the shop. Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for input. Will look that the QNAP devices.

What exactly are the issues with motherboard raid? Would using a raid controller on the pcie remove them? Will switch to pro version thx.

Is anyone able to offer guidance on the pros and cons of a thunderbolt3 external RAID over an internal RAID. We are talking 7x10GB HDDs here. If I don't have to go the thunderbolt route I can opt for another MB and bring the costs down. But if the external RAID has more benefits then I would prefer to make an informed decision. Thanks in advance and thanks for comments thus far.

The 1080ti or even the 1080 are often found in editing rigs. They do just fine. Even with the price as is they are a considerably cheaper than the comparable Quadro cards which are something like $2500. Example PC here with 1070ti. This would be fine for 4k editing but in the likelihood I edit 6k the RAM and extra boost from the 11GB 1080ti will make a difference, https://www.scan.co.uk/3xs/configurator/3xs-i7-x299-7800x-evolve-nle-4k

I am the producer of the documentary and this is coming out of my payment as editor not out of the investor's pocket. This build is meant to allow me to work as efficently as possible rather than renting an editing space. I want to be able to have strong playback ability and fast render. The RAM is crazy expensive for 128GB but that is the price here. What can I do about it? If I was exploiting the budget, I would put in more SSD storage. I want the cost down, not up, believe me. Hence trying to find a way to reduce the horrendous cost of the thunderbolt DAS. If you can see ways to bring this down with me, I would appreciate it. I have not build a rig in years and my last edit was on 2k footage and my current laptop (MSI GS70QE) and a 3TB USB3 drive was enough. This is a bigger project and I want it done right. BTW the price listed on partpicker for the RAM is £600 higher than I have found elsewhere.

If I can get the budget down with a good storage solution I will get another monitor. That one does look good. Thanks. The LaCie is almost £6000 here in the UK. I really want to use that money elsewhere on the system.

I will be editing on lower res proxies. When I need to check the footage will plug in my 4k TV. As to the power supply I want to run as quiet as possible and understand this model won't spin up if if not taxed. Also gives me head room for more pcie devices and overclock.

Hi, Just joined the forum but am long time watcher of Linus and the team. I'm going to be editing a feature documentary to be shot at 4k or 6k depending on what the DoP opts for. As part of the budget I get to have built a PC rig for the job. Get to keep it after, perks of the job and will also use it for gaming. My proposed rig is as follows: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/7Jm4D2 In addition I will be have the OS and Premiere, etc running off an Optane 900p I already own. My question is regarding media storage for the film footage. Which would people recommend more? 1) A thunderbolt 3 external RAID5 such as LaCie 12 Big 72 TB Thunderbolt 3 2) Utilizing the 7 bays in the case (Be Quiet Base 900 Pro - with 7 bays) to create a RAID5 off the motherboard In terms of speed, stability, efficiency, noise and any factors you can think of, which would work better? I am working from home and would prefer not to have to put a server in place, I am short on living space as it is with three kids. I hoping a 70TB RAID5 will be enough for the job, but any advice to the contrary is most welcome. We will be shooting with two cameras for the majority and three for a couple of days for a round table. Lastly, if I do opt for the internal RAID off the motherboard, would an Optane Memory module help in any way?
