Hello there,
I am new to this forum but have used it in the passed for brief research.
I am finally about to begin building my desktop, I have some idea, and just wanting general opinions and ideas.
I am happy with the 3950x CPU - Although willing to consider other options
MOBO I am still unsure. Feel I should fill in the blanks I have atm then pick the best MOBO.
Case, big one I think. Want room for expansion ect.
Radiators, fans I am happy for suggestions. I am not RGB crazy but wont not get a decent fan because it has it.
I am going to use my 1050TI GPU for now, then upgrade it to the new series when they release. I understand this will cause a bottle neck ect, but im confident it will be worth it. (i will water cool the new one)
In terms of storage, I will have a PCIE ssd, M.2 ssd (maybe 2), standard ssd (sata) and a hdd. I am unsure of sizes at the moment, but 2tb hdd, and 500 for the rest is ball park what im looking for.
Now, one of my concerns/problems, is I want the pc to be able to boot as fast as possible WHY, ITS A WASTE OF MONEY, YOURE STUPID please keep these comments to yourself, thats what I want, and if you dont want to tell me why without attempting to belittle me, just keep scrolling please. Now I believe, but I am not sure, that you can do this from from any storage device providing the mobo supports it? Is this the case? Will the PCIE be the best to boot from? Whats the draw backs of using the PCIE, if any? How do I configure this, similar to any other, through the BIOS/UEFI?
I want to do a custom water cool loop, that is for sure. I am considering water cooling the ram and the PCIE ssd and the M.2 (although I have not looked into the feasibility of this). Why? Because I want to, regardless of if it will offer little to no improved performance, I want to. I dont want some wise ass telling me its a waste of money, I really dont care, Its my money. I have heard people saying that parts of the ssds have to run at a particular temp and the water cooling with hinder this? Although I've seen more poeple speaking about improved performance. Thoughts? I believe I will do two water loops as mentioned before I want to water cool the future GPU, and cooling that along with the ssd's and cpu believe that it may be better to run two loops? As i understand it, doing two is better because obviously the the liquid is cooling less components and so stays cooler. However, are there any draw backs? cost of extra pump, liquid ect, but anything else? Any idea, or things to look for when doing this? Is there like a generic formula for calculating what pump I will need? I would assume you will need to know length of tubing used (which will be hard or metal, not soft) and amount of liquid?
As this will be my first water cooling system, is there any tips? Have PTFE tape to hand? but anything else? I also definitely want to pressure test the system before filling with liquid. I am a moron (as name entails) and would like to make sure the system is good to go before filling. Question, do i evaluate the pressure the pump with exert and pressure test at 10% higher or so? or is there a generic value that is consider good? What do I pressure test with? A standard compressor? or do I need to fill with....Nitrogen or pure o2? Would I also just used a standard 'plumber' gauge? would finding an adapter to fit it to the loop be easy enough?
I open to suggestions on anything, just don't be a condescending D***.
Thanks for your time and appreciate that this very 'thrown together'. I just wanted to get all my ideas out on the page.
