I have a NZXTPhantom 820 . Im think its a full tower

Its impossible to know anything in this regard unless I build this and utilize it to maximum extent that I can or find someone who has the exact same or similar situation to mine and learn from their experience. Everytime I come to a new build I spend a good amount of time contemplating this...

No clue. My first guess on the BSOD was Ram error. So ran system diagnostic. It said hardware problem. Ran memtest86 and it spat out a whole bunch of errors including maxing out the 10000 error limit on memtest (maybe because I used the free version) . I sent him picture and he said Kingston Ram...

Yeah he was helpful. He kept insisting right from the beginning that it was not a RAM issue and this was just from looking at photo's of my build . Dont know how he figured that but after working on it this was what he found was wrong. Still trying to replace another the non-functional fan of...

So here's where I am currently ... i7-12700k vs i9-12900k - Im leaning more towards the i7 purely because of temperature reasons. The i-9 has better performance but Im little concerned because of the heating. Still have not ruled it out. 3060Ti is my current GPU which is just a couple of...

So heres the update : Problem 1 : 1 Noctua Fan + Radiator not working causing Heating issues. Problem 2 : OC controller on ASUS Rampage IV got damaged but currently fixed. No Ram issues. Everything still working fine. So I misinterpreted the issues it seems. Going for a new build currently ...

Is 32x2 ok or is 16x4 better ( dont know about availability) ? .. I currently have a 8x8 DDR3

Oh alright... Did not know that.. Did some more research yesterday and found out that theres DDR4 Ram with more frequency than 3600.. Not easily available though.. I just need to calculate the price / stability / value and make a call. Im leaning slightly more towards a build using a large...

This is actually interesting. I dont mind settling for less gains temporarily . No gaming , only 3d rendering and realtime viewport renders to work as fast as possible.

Dont the 12900 and the 12900F lack HDMI support? I have two monitors

yeah DDR4 3600 > DDR5 4800 But there is DDR5-6000 and DDR5 - 6400 ( at a much higher price point) Are DDR5 motherboards expected to make drastic improvements in 6 months or so? Right now I guess I have two options : 32/64gb of DDR5 Ram + supported motherboard and upgrade the ram when massive...

Not that far off from a build I had considered . I already have the 3060 Ti and the Phantom Case and 1050W PSU. Would it not be better to swap out the 128gb worth of DDR5-5600 CL40 with a 64gb 6400 (I'm guessing G.Skill) Any suggestions on the DDR4 vs DDR5 ram and a DDR4 build?

It would be a first. Have never chosen an AMD and the i9 definitely outworks the 5900X series from AMD. The threadripper is a monster but it has a price tag that is a bit steep for me. Heres my thought: Buy a DDR4 compatible motherboard and load it up with high performing DDR4 Ram ( say 64 or...

I have to wait to get my PC back from the shop to run any more tests myself. Im guessing the raptor lake series will have a higher price tag as well. Whats an alternative to the i9 . RYZEN?

The 12900k is what I was looking at. I dont intend to overclock since I never have.
