Thats a good point, I do remember Hearing the 10th gen run a little warm. I had good luck with the hyper 212 on my home pc (I5 4690K) but this I7 might be a little harder to keep under control. Ill take a look at the noctuas I know LTT has always been a big proponent of their fans so I assume their coolers are of similar quality.

From what I read single threaded performance is the largest performance factor when using solidworks. This is the only real reason I chose an intel cpu (other than it is also what I am familiar with)

Budget (including currency): $3000 CAD Country: Canada Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Solid Works, Cam package (currently HSM works but potentially a more robust option down the road), Syspro Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Currently have a 10 year old workstation with a xeon, and a low end Quadro card I have been given permission to build my new work pc. I work a lot with small to medium cad files, but going forward will likely work with increasingly larger cad files. Generating cam programs currently is ROUGH, takes minutes to even select the features I want to perform machine operations on. My PC regularly is at about 10-11 GB of ram and will often dip into the hard drive for additional ram capacity, cpu is often pinned at 90% plus. Monitors are currently just run of the mill 1080p mix matched monitors. Definintely open to an upgrade in the future (Ultrawide curved) but for the time being these will be my daily drivers. I have attached my preliminary build I put together but I am open to changes especially 1. Large increase in performance for not much $$$ 2. Small reduction in performance for a lot of $$$ I appreciate any and all input!
