What cooler are you using, what thermal paste are you using and can you override the cpu fan speed?

Ok, as far as a storage device, your good. i dont know much about matlab etc so i dont know how much it needs, the first thought i had was you are using a hard drive and god forbid you use a hard disk as a boot device.

How much ram do you have and what is your boot device.

A 500watt one from a reputable brand should do you nicely, computers have only gotten more effiicent overtime. a 500w will give you the capacity you need now and room to expand if you put in a more power hungry cpu or graphics cards or load your system with a million hard drives and you'll be fine. However, DO NOT buy a power supply from some no name brand as they will explode, ruin your hardware and potentially kill you. buy one from cooler master or evga or something. buy from a brand YOU RECOGNIZE and thee will be no danger.

Explain?

Ive had about even luck with both. i have way more old wd drives than seagate. i had the 1tb green which i mentioned in my post. a hitach 160gb laptop drive, a fujistu 120gb laptop drive, a hitachi 750gb laptop drive, a WD 5001AALS desktop drive (from 2008)

try disabling optane, if that doesnt fix the problem, run WD Data lifeguards extended test, if theres an issue, it will find it.

Get a 2 or 4 terabyte model from either brand. Preferably western digital. if you prioritize performance, consider a wd black 4tb which spins at 7200rpm (unlike wd blue or seagate barracuda) has a 5 year warranty, and will probably outlive the rest of your computer. They really are an enterprise class drive and i think the extra cost is justified between the warranty, enterprise like design and 7200rpm as well as 256mb cache.

The drive itself is probably fine (a hard drive with loud actuators is usually a good performing one) But, get a proper usb enclosure for it instead of a docking station, ovetime, it will BREAK OFF the sata connector on drives with lots of disk platters, buy a dedicated enclosure.

I had an old WD10EADS Green 1tb drive made around 2009, it got used as a download destination for its entire lifespan 24/7 and it died just recently after 10 years, 226 days of power on hours. i know some people think seagate dm series are unreliable as well after 7200.14. i elaborate on the subjects here.

Hi there, havent posted in forever because i havent really had anything to post about. But recently ive noticed that alot of pc enthuiasts shy away from seagate hard drives, particularly on the desktop (DM) series drives because of a disaster that happens almost a decade ago with 7200.14. Today, im seeing if the failures of those older drives have been fixed with the newer models. I have 2 consumer grade drives, a Seagate 2TB Barracuda (ST2000DM008) and a WD 4TB Blue 5400 (WD40EZRZ, 3 platter/6 head variant) I have not disabled the intellipark feature on the WD Blue drive which was carried over from the WD Greens when they got discontinued. These drives experience similar workloads as they both store videos and i divide the storage workload between them. Both are operation in fideco usb enclosures with their fans turned on. Another thing i'd like to note is that alot of people didnt like the greens because of their failure rate and performance, and i counter that by saying that they last forever if you use them for their intended purpose which is a secondary drive for storing videos and a backup drive for your os etc. I still have a WD Green that was given to me by my dad and it died a few weeks ago after holding videos and acting as a destination for download nearly 24/7 since it was made in 2009. When it died, it had the equivelant of 10 years 226 days of power on time. This one also did have intellipark left at a factory setting.

hello. i have been seeing random chunk erros in minecraft 1.12.2 forge. i attempted to get screenshots buyt minecraft would crash when going into certain chunks..... my mod list is in the screenshot...

hmm. strange.. have never used any rtx or gtx gpu before. try this in the following order. 1. turn on fast render. fast math. smooth fps, smooth world and VBO's. if these dont work. uninstall your gpu drivers and install the latest version of the driver from nvidia's website. if you have integrated graphics. make sure that minecraft is set to use the high performance gpu. let me know how it goes.
