Question New Build - "Sanity check"

Just to finish this thread :) I went with the DDR5 setup, because I found that the price difference to the DDR4 was pretty much insignificant. https://dk.pcpartpicker.com/list/3b79Ls

Question New Build - "Sanity check"

In my proposed setup I would work on files using the 980 and when done store them on the HDD. The 970 would be used for OS and program installs, so the lower speed should only affect load times when opening Word, Lightroom etc. I don't think I would be able to actually feel much difference...

Question New Build - "Sanity check"

Not sure I understand this one. I am not super concerned about performance difference between "regular" SSD and NVME when it comes to my OS/programs drive. Therefore I wanted to keep OS and regular programs on the OS-drive "C:" and games / working files on a separate drive, which traditionally...

Question New Build - "Sanity check"

I just spoke to a colleague of mine who said something similar to what you're saying and given that the DDR5 build only costs 50$ more than the DDR4, I am now moving towards the DDR5 build... Prices are from a Danish price comparison web site: DDR4: DKr. 7.383 ($1046)...

Question New Build - "Sanity check"

Thank you all for the input. "future proofing" is not a concern to me, to be honest. I expect/hope this build to last me another 5-10 years. I already have an upgrade path going to i7 or i9 if I need better threaded performance. Given that I have been able to live with my i7-3770k until now...

Thank you very much for the feedback. Something to keep in mind. By the way, this was the DDR5 alternative build I was considering: https://dk.pcpartpicker.com/list/3b79Ls Given that the two builds would cost me almost the same (+50$ for DDR5) , would you still go with DDR4? In a...

LANMAN Back in the House!!

I have taken advantage of that during winters in the past when our central heating was less good and efficient. (Older house and so on) Now we have gas based central heating and a woodstove, which is a LOT cheaper for heating than electricity. Unfortunately this argument also only works during...

LANMAN Back in the House!!

Well, on modern PC's there is a significant difference in power consumption when just browsing, or actually loading the CPU/GPU 100% on all cores. I allready spend $ 2500-3000 a year on electricity, and i do not heat or cool my house with electricity. Assuming some numbers for a single full...

High power consumption when idling

Anyone have any idea what's wrong here? I have allowed the firewall to let it send and the server status on F@H's webpage says that server is "Busy", which as far as I could means it is fully operational.
