Morning all just finished the below build, right now just have the included Lian Li fans (two front one rear); I'm mainly going to use the CPU for photo and light video editing (4k home videos). No gaming. I'm moving and wanted to get it as set up as possible and wanted to know if you all...

That's what I'm thinking, was asking this very question - maybe mislabel/outdated or wasn't sure if cabling or actual hardware (the port) itself has something to do with. Thanks!

Good call

Wow, surprised with responses. I always leave my PC running while away. I have a UPS backup with autoshut down if power goes out. Mainly leave it running so if I need to remote in to access something I can. There have been handful of times I needed too. May look at Wake-On-LAN feature and...

So are you saying the case and MOBO are same specs? USB naming is confusing...

The MOBO manual shows USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C Front Panel connector US32G2_C4 next to the MOBO power supply connector, I have that connected. Then per manual USB 3.2. Gen 1 header connected to the other panel connector.

Morning all, with your help I recently build the below system and have a question regarding the USB headers on my MOBO along with the I/O Ports on my case. My motherboard has USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and USB 3.2 Gen 1, and USB 2.0 headers. My case is lists the I/O Ports as USB 3.0 Gen 1 and USB...

Thanks to all just completed i7 13gen build with EVGA 750GT, 32GB DDR5 RAM, ASUS Z790 Prime, AK640 cooler and wanted to know if there are any “stress test” type applications to run to test all components? I’ve been leaving it on last few days and no issues, only thing is I don‘t see the PSU fan...

Thanks very helpful. Think i'll start with the following: Drive 1 - Windows/Programs: 1TB M.2 Drive 2 - Working/editing/project drive: 2TB M.2 Drive 3 (will add possibly depending on how i see performance going) - Cache 500GB or 1TB M.2 Drive 4 - Photo/Video Storage: 8TB WD/Seagate HDD 5400...

Thanks this reply was very helful and what i was looking for.

Evening all... hoping this post is allowed - looking for the best place to purchase a Windows 11 home or pro license key. Thanks!!

Thanks! so when you mention your source files are on a HDD, you mean that when you're in your editing software you are using the video files from the HDD? I would think that would slow things down reading the video files from HDD. I was planning to have all my OS/Apps on one M.2 Drive, us...

Can you tell me more about using a dedicated m.2 as cache drive? Benefits? I’m planning one m.2 as windows/programs, then was going to use ssd 2.5 for storage and potentially scratch/working drive. I will be doing light-med video editing most likely w same programs you use and your post...

Thanks. Don’t plan too and if not needed don’t want to spend unnecessary $. Main use will be Lightroom and light video editing.

Morning all, Building a PC and the bundle comes with ASUS Z790-P PRIME WiFi Intel LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard, I’m going with the Samsung EVO PRO 990 just trying to debate if I need a heatsink or not. Not too verse on this, thoughts? Planning to use CPU for photo and mid-range video editing. No...
