    New Machine Needed for Video Rendering, etc.

    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 Supply. All that didn't help at all. Took whole...

    New Machine Needed for Video Rendering, etc.

    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 get it to even load Linux or Windows from a USB...

    New Machine Needed for Video Rendering, etc.

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

    New Machine Needed for Video Rendering, etc.

    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 than doubled over my older Ryzen machine...

    Upgrade cooler for Ryzen 3800X ?

    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 brand). I might just try attaching one or both and...

    New Machine Needed for Video Rendering, etc.

    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.

    New Machine Needed for Video Rendering, etc.

    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.

    New Machine Needed for Video Rendering, etc.

    "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, and that your current GTX 1050 Ti is now in...

    New Machine Needed for Video Rendering, etc.

    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 decent boards. I'm inclined to go with the Asus...

    New Machine Needed for Video Rendering, etc.

    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 with future, but the file sizes are already large...

    New Machine Needed for Video Rendering, etc.

    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 good solid B550 or X570 motherboard, and go with the...

    Upgrade cooler for Ryzen 3800X ?

    That's a lotta choices. I had no idea until Hash posted it that there was a PS 140. I like their 120 version (it's on the machine I'm typing on), and it's just great. The PS is definately better than the Peerless Assassin. About the Royal Praetor, I don't know. So many choices, and it...

    Upgrade cooler for Ryzen 3800X ?

    "How is the airflow INTO your case? Have you dusted it out, cleaned the fans? Also, when was that cooler installed, have you considered re-pasting the heatsink with some new thermal paste?" These are good questions and I should have noted them in the original post. The case's airflow is quite...

    Upgrade cooler for Ryzen 3800X ?

    That's a solid point, SmokeRngs. It'd be like a 10 to (maybe) 20 percent performance bump or so. Is that worth dropping any money on, particuarly for an old build like that?

    Upgrade cooler for Ryzen 3800X ?

    I'm thinking of getting their 140 rather than the 120 - I have a huge case, and it might be better for when I finally upgrade. Edit: according to the charts I've looked at the 140 does better with high wattage, and is nigh as good as the super Noctua - though the fans are obviously better on...
