I'd second Zandor's advice above: a full Windows re-install - not using whatever disc Acer may have bundled with it, but a generic Windows 11 downloaded from the Microslop website. It might well be that some of the bloatware built into that...

If States like California are so worried about power usage, they should stop building AI datacenters. Oh right, they real reason is because they need us to use less power so they can sell more at a higher cost per watt to corporations.

Follow up: Did RMA on processor and motherboard. Put machine back together. So far running without any trouble. I'm amazed at how well it handles a 32 thread load, staying below 60 C, with clockspeed running between 3.5 to 3.8 gzh. Single...

Follow up: Computer basically still dead Tried with single stick of RAM. Tried using other DDR4 RAM from known working system. Tried other power supply from known working system. Tried different power cable and different outlet for Power...

That sounds like an amazing system - pretty much the end all-be all of AM4. Alas, I am at my wit's end dealing with my current build. It seemed very stable at first - but then Windows stopped loading after a few random restarts. Now I can't...

It's an EVGA branded 1050TI. Sorry about confusion. Here's a not great pic of innards of new machine:

Update. Got all parts, apart from a couple of big spinner drives (still in transit). New computer assembled and running nicely. Turned off PBO for low power and quiet. At idle in Windows, CPU temp is ~ 29 C. Video render speeds are better...

Good ideas. I need to learn about how do a negative voltage offset, particularly as I have a new 5900xt system up and running now. The fan is a good idea, too. I have a couple of old fans with huge pressure/airflow (one is a massive Delta...

You can also try doing a negative voltage offset of 0.05v to 0.1v in your BIOS. That should lower your temps and also make it so it can hold higher boost longer. Another thing you can do is install a much better fan on your cooler. Something...

Pulled trigger on order... will be shipped early next week. Thanks, all, for the suggestions. I went with the better PS, the Corsair RM750x, as per zandor's advice.

It's an option, but I'm familiar with the software and the process I use for videos, and want to keep using that, as I get great results for everything.

The extra 4-pin CPU power connector on the Asus is for overclocking. You're not planning on OCing, so don't worry about it. You probably don't even need to connect it. Since you're not overclocking they'll all be fine. The biggest differences...

"If I were you, you actually need Windows 11 and a newer GPU. You see, newer video editing softwate will now require Windows 11 just to even install at all as Windows 10 is no longer supported at all by newer NLE (Non-Linear Editing) software...

It's not really a thumbs up to anything, just that Asus, MSI and Gigabyte are all fine as vendors. ASRock too mostly, though they have had some issues with AM5 boards killing procs, mostly 9800X3Ds. A couple other thoughts - That Rosewill PSU...

Thanks for the reply, Zandor. Basically a thumbs up to both boards, so that's heartening. Sorry, got wrong skew of the MSI i was looking at, probably the one you mentioned is the one I was looking at. All in all, not bad prices for such...

Currently I have the render set to automatic, and yeah it fires up the paltry amount of Cuda cores in the 1050. Obviously, I could go for a better video card, but with prices... ughh. As far as output resolution, a higher resolution might help...

Hi all, I think I've got worked out what to get mostly, apart from the motherboard model and power supply. I need something that's not a bank breaker that will last me a good 5 years and lots of processing power is a must. I'd like to get a...
