Mcad software is in the main single threaded, Rendering on the other hand likes as many cores as you can give it, also needs plenty of Vram. of course it all depends on how large your data sets are especially for rendering and animations. The larger the data sets [ scene ] and hi res textures...

Thanks for the update. Not familiar with Ansys or Solidworks. I am a bit like you as regards components ect, I leave that mostly to others more qualified than me [ only know how to use the software ] Im sure others will keep you right about cases / coolers ect. (y)

Although I am currently using the Gaming forum to help spec a machine for my own projects using Siemens NX / 3 DS Max / Substance ect. At work I use Nx and Femap / Adina. on a machine that has 512 Gb ECC ram but the Zeon has only 22 cores and 2 RTX 5000. 16 cores actually seems seem to be the...

Many thanks Tony. missed that memory option. so seems to be the HX1500i and the 2x 32 Gb. Will have to call PCS to enquire about the 2nd GTX 4090 to be installed in this build. Would it be simple enough for me to install myself bearing in mind I am not well clued up on the workings of PC's [...

Just noticed there is no option to add a second GTX 4090 if I decided to add it now rather than further down the line.

Thank you, also good shout about the Solidigm Pro [ as they used to be Intel drives ] Have used many high powered machines over the years all used Intel drives. until Intel sold that part of the company. Hope they are as good as the Intel ones were. Will order with the 1600watt Corsair, and...

Well folks now that I have read some reviews of the AMD9000 series I have come up with these specs. As I am not a gamer I do not need specific gaming performance. One area where I might have to change would be the wattage of the PSU as I will probably want to add a second GTX 4090 further down...

Thanks specs decided now, apart from.... will I wait for the AMD 9000 series and boards or go with the 7950x will probably wait until some reviews are on the net.

Only found 1 programme in the app data folder "Ansys" have reinstalled it into where it should go. Largest programme is Siemens NX at 11.3 Gb with the modules I have, next largest is Autodesk 3 DS Max at 8.4 Gb [ many are over 4 Gb ] also removed some programmes that I very rarely use and...

Thanks Scott, I will do as you suggest later on today and post my findings.

First up, many thanks for your help and patience, have double checked and there are only the OS and programmes on the Main drive. I always have my models / Projects on other drives [ either the D drive or I also have 4 HSGT enterprise HDD's in Icybox enclosures ] so there is nothing on the C...

Thanks so much for the additional info. IF the OS and software applications are on the same drive then 1 Tb will not cut it. I use far more programmes than originally mentioned [ they are my core programmes ] some of the other programmes are not used on a daily basis but some are . In fact...

Many thanks for the info much appreciated. Have decided to wait until the AMD 9000 series and associated boards come out. and reviews are on the net. Re, the drives. Do you advocate having the OS on the first nvme and my software applications on nvme number 2 and a third for storage. I have...

Hello all, I had 1 of my original machines built by PC Specialist way back in 2017 and it has proved superbly reliable never a single problem, now though it has developed a fault iirc the specs are ASUS Rampage board, Intel 6850k cpu, 64GB Corsair ram, and gtx 1080 gpu. Samsung drives. The...

Jamie, re the Nvidia Quadro cards, they are certified for Professional applications. whereas Geforce cards are not. The upshot of that being if running any Quadro cards in any Pro software any technical problems either The software vendor / and Nvidia will help . they won't for consumer...
