Question by classmate : cpu for new system

[StrawberryShortCakes]

She's building a 3d printing and modeling system, she's asking which of the cpu would be an better option intel or Ryzen stability wise as it may need to run 24 - 36 hrs non stop. She does prototyping for projects. 

 

Printer : dremel digilab 3020.

[Sorenson]

For stability I would say Intel 100%

 

My 3800x based system has had a couple issues (none that are too big)

• Cpu stuck at 100mhz after restart
• Computer freezes up after waking from sleep and then shuts down.

as for my past Intel systems, I’ve never had issues like this. To be clear Ryzen is still great, you just occasionally have some quirks.

I would go with amd because it is stable and it’s cheaper.

I'd go for a 3400G tbh, stable, old enough that it isn't likely to have issues and you don't need to grab a dGPU with it. Cheaper, simpler(so less avenues of failure) and lower power.

AMD. for the ECC on non xeons

Price isn't a problem since she spent $1400 on the printer and parts + filliments

Hmm, my 3700X seem to have the same problem, I leave it running overnight and when it wakes it goes to bsod.

Is that cpu even enough to run her cad?

update bios

for cad a 3600x or 3700x with a GPU and 32gb of ram is the way to go as for what GPU that is down to which cad program

Oh, I misunderstood, was thinking she was doing the CAD on another system and this was running the printer. Ignore that!

 

I'd go last gen tbh whatever she buys, most HW bugs have been dealt with by this point.

K, any good cpu suggestions? Sorry I'm still pretty new at the system needs being a student myself.

This has nothing to do with the issues that I've had. Also ECC is like something you'll never need 99.999999999% of the time IMO.

a 2700x would be my choice tbh.

It happens on updated bios too. Ryzen 3000 cpus are in their infancy architecturally and will have bugs that need to be worked out. Intel is on its like 10th refinement of the same architecture, its why Jayz 2 cents recommends Intel for stability. I love Ryzen, but I can tell you its not as stable as Intel was for me.

K we'll try a put together system in class with the school parts before buying her parts thanks.

Older Ryzen is, my 1700 is rock solid even at 4Ghz with 3400mhz mem

I'm glad its working out for you  After another year or two I'm sure ryzen 3000 will be there too.
