Jeez these RAM prices are ridiculous!
Hi friends, I just wanted to share my new build component with ya’ll and see what you think… I finally pulled the trigger and decided to build a new workstation... After running a i7 2770K (OC to 4.6 GHz) for close to 7 years I decided to switch to the X299 platform. The 2770K did me well for so many years, however, now with 4K becoming more and more of a thing, I decided to make work easier for me and go "all out" in this next phase of my computing life. I work in post-production (editor but mainly assistant editor & DI conform editor) and my 2770K machine barely plays Pro Res 4444 2K footage in real time. I’m about to start a new conform gig and the film was shot on RED at 5.5K at 7:1 compression so I figured the time to switch is now. I will be creating a DCI 4K DPX sub-master of the feature which will be colored in HDR. Quite a hefty workflow.
For my new X299 build, I picked up:
7960x
Asus Prime Deluxe
G.SKILL TridentZ 64GB (4 x 16GB) DDR4 3600
Samsung 970 PRO M.2 512GB (For Windows 10 + apps)
HP EX920 M.2 1TB (For Scratch/ Cache media)
Corsair HX1200 PSU
I'm hoping my 980Ti will keep up with the workload/ new build. What are your guyses experiences with a non-10 series GTX or Titan working with the X299 chipsets? Curious to know!
As for CPU cooling, I plan on repurposing my Nactua D15 cooler in the current build. I won't overclock right away, but eventually plan on it. So hopefully at stock clock speeds, the D15 does its job keeping the CPU cool.
This will all be housed in a Corsair 750D, which again I am repurposing from my old computer.
If any of you are editors or are into video production and/ or curious about performance, I can run some tests with my current 2770K and compare it to the 7960x. Let me know what kind of NLE tests you would like me to run and I’ll try my best. I plan to compare both systems with Avid MC, Resolve, PP and After Effects. I definitely want to post and share transcode and export speeds in Resolve and Avid, since that’s where most of the times goes with these kind of films. Let me know what else you would like to see from a build like this. I should mention I don’t play video games on PC so I can’t really test frame rates on there.
Well anyway thats everyone!
P.S. I didn’t mention media storage drives because I work with various types of production drives from regular external 7200 RPM drives to SSD Raids. It just depends on the job. But I will take those into consideration when doing some tests.
P.S.S This is my first time posting on here. Glad to be a part of the community.
Cheers!
