If you shoot sports or action, DSLR is still better I believe. Even a mid-range DSLR will likely perform as good or better than the best mirrorless. And it is much easier, IMO to use the optical view finder to follow action. Since you have D3S, is that in your repertoire?
If you are not...
Thanks MrTeal. I'm going to get a Asus Prime X570-P because of that video you linked to. I had originally ignored it because of only 6 SATA, but I'll be getting a 4 port SATA PCIe card anyway, and have determined that 10 total ports will be enough now and for the future. Plus with the Asus...
Thanks for all the tips guys. I have a EVGA platinum 850 PSU so that should be covered.
I'm leaning toward the ASUS TUF but need to look into clearance. And ASRock Steel Legend is probably my second choice. It seems that the Steel Legend has slightly lower quality VRMs and south bridge fan...
So I've been reading. I guess I probably want to spend a bit more for better VRMs and heat sinks on the power components. My understanding is that a cheaper MB would not necessarily be unstable, but better VMRs & heat sinks will be less likely to be unstable at high usage. Is that right...
I'm totally confused by the MB choices. The prices are all over the place, and I don't see why really, other than the boards that support 3 or 4 PCIE 16 slots or 3 m2 slots. Or I guess fancy colors and layouts. Based on the specs and layout, a Asrock X570 phantom gaming 4 would suit my needs...
This will be an upgrade with a new MB. I will get one which supports two M.2 drives. I was hoping to save money and just get one at first. I wonder what will be impacted the least if I put onto a SATA SSD? Or maybe I'll get a 500 gig and a 2tb NVMe drive.
Hmm... So I'm confused again. Here will be my use case, maybe someone can opine if a SM2262EN or Phison e12 drive will be better for me:
Main concern is photo and video editing: DaVinci Resolve, Gimp, Faststone, Silkypix. Most intense use is splicing two/three 4k strips together as camera A...
I see. So there is no simple answer. After reading your answer, I re-read the review below linked to below. It looks like the first graph illustrates that for the ADATA SX8200 1tb there are big drops in performance at about 180 gigs or 620 gigs written...
So most of the benchmarks for NVME M.2 drives indicate a performance empty and full. Does performance degrade linear between the two? Or perhaps it degrades a lot immediately as data is added and then slowly until full (or the reverse - it plateaus for a while, and then quickly degrades once...
So I have a spreadsheet in which I keep track of investments. I also estimate the amount I'll contribute and gain each future month, year after year. For fun - I looked for the oldest copy I could find of this spreadsheet. It is from Jan of 2006. 14 years go, I estimated my portfolio value...
Yes. The Enermax fans have a switch - 3 settings for high medium low I think. I believe mine are set at low. I also run all the fans through a fan controller, basically at at a setting that I just barely hear them. So the Corsair and Enermax fans are all throttled by the controller.
To my...
Yes!
Basically, yes. They are next to each other on the top and back of the case.
Agreed - I had thought about this and thought maybe I should re-attach the radiator with new thermal grease. But that wouldn't explain the hotter air.
According to HNW Monitor, the CPU is telling the...
I have a dual CPU machine with Xeon e2670 CPUs. One is cooled by a Corsair Hydro Series H80i V2. The other one by Enermax Liqmax II 240. I often run Sheepit in the background with a few cores on each CPU, and I noticed something strange. For example: each CPU can render with 12 threads...
I upgraded my computer today - changed the power supply from 550 to 850 watts (EVGA 850 P2), and upgraded the second water cooler to a thicker 120mm radiator (Corsair H80i v2).
I also gave my computer a name. The Beast. Dual Xeon E5-2670 processors in a full tower case. I have 32 gigs ram...
