I have so many questions :) Todays question is this - If you want your main data drive to be the M.2 gen 5, but the boot drive to be a gen 4... Is there any issue specifying that the boot drive should be the 2nd SSD so that the gen 5 can sit under the largest heatsink?

Thanks so much for the input Ekans2011, appreciate it :) - That is a very interesting case, although I am more at home with the design of the Fractal XL for use in my living room - although I wish it was the mesh version... I think the fractal might have better acoustics/cooling with its larger...

Apologies for the repost, but my thread went dead :) - I am in need of your advice on fans and cooling for a quiet powerful creator system. Main problem is I don't have a lot of room, so was trying to keep the case down to 50cm deep. It will sit in the living room often, and as I screen record...

Thanks a lot Bala Bob - I know the case comes with 3 x 140mm Aspect PWM on the front intake. Then the top will have the 3x120mm radiator fans. That only leaves the rear? I assumed there would only be space for 1 there, but could only see 120mm fans listed on PCSpecialist... do they just not...

I've updated my original post hopefully with enough information? - I'm very keen to know if the cooling / fans I've added are sufficient / a good balance to keep it cool, and as quiet as possible :) - Thanks a lot.

@Scott - Just want to apologise if I offended you or anyone! I was chipping in because I was dead interested (and yes I do indeed use LLMs a lot in my job & for research - but not Naïvely lol) and I am very appreciate of the advise on the SSDs that led me to this info - thank you guys! With...

Brand loyal, ha - not at all :) - I've never bought any of these before - I just wanted to know if the issues were still prevalent or if it was just an issue in the past. I just am interested in the fast, but larger drives. The other 2TB drives are less interesting to me right now. But I really...

That's some interesting articles - I note the last one says that the issue is now fixed by a patch - I assume after 2 years this will be standard on any new drive.

Monitor - Dell U2723QE (at present) Uses - Game Development / Devlog Creation / Tutorials - Yes VR too, Yes streaming and yes Video processing + AI / LLMs, etc Max Budget - £5500 is the fixed ceiling if you need one. This is a workstation PC which I will use for everything related to my...

Sorry, is that because of the monitor? It's not a factor for me because I want the card for video rendering and running local LLMs / simulations more than for playing games - in fact, I really don't play games a lot. My monitor is 4K, but with limited refresh rate... but like I say, that's not...

Hey Guys - Thanks a lot for taking a look, I'm trying to assemble a workstation PC for everything - Game Development / Video Editing / Streaming / Music production / 3D Rendering / Running LLMs. The main thrust is for Game Dev & creating Tutorial Videos. Main problem is I don't have a lot of...

Hey there :) - Thanks for the feedback, | The Define 7 is a good case if you're hyper-focused on silence I have a question about the Define 7 case, if a radiator needs to be mounted inside, I assume it goes at the top, and then you need to replace the top of the case with the airflow version...

This is excellent advice thank you. Although I have always had Intel chipsets, I am no fanboy. I just want the best choice and you are certainly selling me. Regarding the 115 vs 150... wow - now that I've looked into them both I can see you are dead right thanks. What about the SSD setup you...

That's very interesting... I wasn't really considering an AMD processor having always stuck with Intel... I don't play games as much at present, although having the ability to work with Unity / Unreal / Blender are all must haves down the line. Most of my work right now is in adobe products &...

Hello all you helpful people :) - I have been a YouTube creator for some time now, but am sick of using my poor laptop as my primary workstation for recording and editing. I want to get a PC that will cut through the workloads and set me up to achieve anything I throw at it (games dev & even...
