Thanks for your experience and the pics
I don't like that throttling in your picture
In my case, I might want to undervolt since I don't even need much bandwidth, but maybe in the future I'll use different programs, so the 64 lines are great (even better for that price). I think for now I just need the CUDAs and Threads (but I'm not an expert).
I have a 1700 right now, with memories that should work at 3200, but the are only stable at 2999 even with the latest UEFI. So I guess you have similar memory speed problems here.
I guess what I'll do is using the air cooling system, and if I can't handle the temperatures well, buy a custom LR for 2 GPUs, and if this doesn't works, then another one for the other 2 GPUs. Does this make sense?
Thanks for your comment too.
I'm a freelancer (I'm not a Guru so I might be saying something goofy here) so I could change the program that I'm using, but for now Iray works fine for me, and using CPU+GPU for my renders is great. I'm using now a Ryzen 1700 with a GTX 1080 (and an external GTX 1030, but this doesn't improve much my rendering times haha).
My idea is, maybe in the future I'll swap the program, but I don't want to close any window here. But if this plan is going to burn money, that's not desirable for me so any recommendation will be appreciated.
I'm scared about using water cooling, specially because I never used it before, and if I'm going to spend a lot of money in my system... a leak could be horrible here. I don't know if the maintenance is hard or not, but if there is any risk behind the maintenance, I prefer to avoid it.
Can you recommend me some good (or beefy haha) air cooling brands/systems? Noctua is all I know.
