    Thank you - thought so but really wasnt sure. Got time to recommend a monitor that would be appropriate for this budget?
  2. Tristerin
    Alrighty perhaps last question! Getting ready to hit the buy button - on this with 128gb RAM, 1tb SSD: https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/mac-studio/24-core-cpu-60-core-gpu-32-core-neural-engine-64gb-memory-1tb Need to know information: Apple, to me is super proprietary - I am 100% okay with ordering their monitor and peripherals so this is a plug and play scenario - what do you recommend? TYVM!

    Pitched both as solution, upgraded RAM, cloud storage or we can build a server onsite if they want - appreciate your time and help!

    I dont want to make the wrong suggestions to my partners - any chance you could show me some links of what exactly you would suggest, even go above budget, I just assumed $5k for a machine for this but we have spoke about it costing possibly more than the entire room kit we created haha (since they want to be inside that ecosystem of Apple)

    Wow been a long time since I have been here.  I havent kept up generationally since building an 5600x rig for my wife.  Just put a topic in New Builds Planning as business is good and need to buy a workstation for business partner to use iMovies - but I have no idea what I need for apple products so please feel free to go there and tell me how to spend that money!

    Life is good, gym is going super well (survived the Covid shut downs!).  Youtube channel is skyrocketing.  Currently playing DungeonBorne when I have time available which isnt as often as I like but cant stop the grind in life haha!  Wifes good, kids good, lifes good.  

    Thanks for the good times as always LTT Forum!

      I am personally in need of an upgrade, may stick around to learn about what I should be going up from the 3600/2060 combo - we shall see!

      TLDR: 13th and 14th gen came out. Did well but takes a ton of power. AM5 came out and is amazing. Early 13th gen CPUs have an oxidation issue that was addressed under the table. No official recall was sent out but it was fixed quietly in manufacturing. I've been fighting my 13900k with weird crashes for the last year/year and a half. News broke last month that it's also an issue with 13th and 14th gen 65W+ CPUs. Intel is in hot water right now. 

      AMD CPUs look even better now. 

      AMD GPUs are still price to performance king. Nvidia still wins on ray tracing and a lot of the productivity tasks, but AMD is quickly catching up. AMD buggered up their naming scheme this go around. 

       

      "AI" CPUs everywhere. Snapdragon has some really good little chips they started putting in laptops. I'm just waiting on one tablet from Asus to come out and I'm getting one. Their compatibility is a bit iffy and spotty, but they compete with Apple in battery life and in the stuff that they do work in they compete with MacBook airs(Not a mac person so anymore specifics than that and it's worth doing your own research) in performance. Gaming is very hit or miss on them.

      AMD has a full line of laptop CPUs with names like "AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370" because that's a great choice in naming.

      Built two new PC's while you were gone 😜 one was a personal PC in a Fractal Torrent (I'm still working on a build log despite it being 6+months ago), the other was a cool HTPC for my roommate. I blew their mind when I told them they could fit their unused ATX board in a case only 7" tall (Silverstone GD11) so it actually fit in the tv hutch.

      Great information!  Yes the naming convention Kings strike again haha!

    Budget (including currency): High, for podcast room with multiple cameras, audio captures - $8k invested in equipment, need the brains to drive it all now - assuming Ill need to spend around $5k as it will be working with iMovies. Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: OBS recording, iMovies for editing Other details: I personally use Premiere Pro and adobe suits. Need this to focus around apple products because of the use of iMovies (business partner taking care of all this) - I am 100% ok with a purpose built machine I can buy direct (must be PC not laptop at this time) to get started as soon as possible.

    Picked up a Rossi RS22 in bronze (to match my new UTAS) ($169) and a Gforce Arms P3 12ga in walnut furniture ($169) Ive been banking a bunch of guns these last few weeks, over the summer the shows slow down in my area and I will finally be able to get time to shoot them lol. Gun Show was in a resort at the Lake of the Ozarks in MO - so took the family with me and we stayed the weekend, just got back - had a blast.
  8. Tristerin
    If you can cool it, push it - Id go to at least 1.39v myself
  9. Tristerin
    Nice, storage is cheap these days. Makes ya wonder how their margins were about 1 year ago or more LOLOL
  10. Tristerin
    Frequency of failure in my realm of experience is so bad that there is no way I consider it apart of the price. Id actually wonder how a poll would fair on this topic in terms of trusting a MIR.
  11. Tristerin
    Maybe, I dont dig for deals just happen to see them and do it. I also have ZERO faith in MIR. They do not work, there is very little accountability and time is money - the time I have to spend to keep them accountable isnt worth the rebate. I mean, 20+ years of buying PC parts, my first 10 I tried rebates. They are just lies lol. I dont even attempt them anymore so I dont believe they are actually or should actually be included in any prices Example - I am so skeptical of MIR's because they just dont get honored - I spend like $1000 a month min on guns and ammo. Winchester recently had a huge MIR deal on ammo. Good .223 down to .37c a round AFTER MIR. Ha no Ill just pay more and still less than the original price prior to MIR.
  12. Tristerin
    You just told me why I need to buy one, I just remembered I have a ton of data at home I need to xfer to my server in another city and I dont have a T1 at home lol. Dammit, ordered LOLOL.
  13. Tristerin
    Ive had a loop running now for almost/around 5 years with only having to top off once in a while (HEAVY overclock 4.2ghz on R7 1700) Eventually I am going to take all the rads out and cut them up to prove there is zero issue (again, did this once on a 1 year old loop and now we have more data)
  14. Tristerin
    Once I was trying to travel for work, had a knife in my jeans carpenter pants side pocket. Went through metal detector, body detector, wand and we just couldnt figure out what was causing the beep lol. They decided to just let me past and on my plane, about 3 minutes later while putting my shoes on I felt it in my pocket I was like WTF lol. I threw it away so not to have further issues. Dont know why just decided to share this story
  15. Tristerin
    If I email my rep at Team Group in Taiwan and tell them what Im building and ask if they are interested in sponsoring the build with RAM and Storage. They say yes or no (have always said yes) and I advertise them during my Build Logs here at LTT and a couple other forums. I only mention it cause a few Mods here know this fact and I dont want to appear to be advertising for them as that is not ok here on these forums. I just stumbled on this crazy deal while perusing Newegg this morning.
