New system build about to happen. This one is kind of special: first AMD build since my 1400MHz Thunderbird build in 1999, so we're splurging [yes, 1800X is a waste of money] due to nostalgia.
Specs:
Ryzen 1800X (OCed to whatever I can get long-term stable @ ~1.35) on water
32GB Trident Z RGB 3200 CL14 (G.Skill Techs say 4-DIMMs @ 3200MHz should be possible with some tweakery)
Asus X370 Crosshair Hero VI (only missing part...)
Asus Strix RX480 8GB (Filler till we see how Vega 10 performs)
Seasonic 750W Titanium
1x 1TB 960 Evo NVME @ PCIe 3.0 x4
1x 1TB 850 Evo SSD @ SATA 6Gbps
Various Shiny/flashy/glass/sleeved things (...for performance...)
Windows 10 Home (because games)
I've watched vids, I've read posts. I see conflicting data as to NVME vs. SATA and I haven't seen anything with this exact scenario. Load times. Hate them. I get that small random read-writes from games seldom max SATA3 bandwidth, but there is some variance between games and even a second faster level loading is worth pursuing to a silly degree. [I was 'traumatized' by 5400rpm HD at a tender age.]
Where do I want the OS, where do I want the games and where do I want all other programs? Why?
Common sense says put everything on the NVME because the OS randoms probably won't get past QD2, but we're not dealing with this sensibly and I'm not especially familiar w/Win10s disk usage. Clearly, I'm nuking [over-thinking] this. Help me stop.
Notes/?s:
*I WILL RAID0 the fuck out of 1-3 more EVOs if I have to. [Haven't had ONE failure in 15-years, so save it] Anyone know about TRIM w/RAID on X370?
*Anyone seen load times contrasted between Ryzen 7 and i7 Kaby? Honestly, this waiting on the mobo and early bios thing has had me dithering on just building blue again. :/ I'm a whore, I know.
