Hello,
My faithfull and hardworking workstation has stopped working as my Asus P9x79 WS has stopped working. I was hoping to just replace the Mobo, but then I faced the music. No such a thing as a new P9x79 WS board... Some stuff in China. Not even a used one to be found.
My WS is aimed for Music Production...
So, I have to replace the previous CPU, all my RAMs (64GB) 1200 and the MOBO...
I decided on the i9-11900K. Yes! Instead of 9900K Despite as the most music enthusiast did try to convince me otherwise...
For the Mobo, I prefered the Asus Pro WS W480 ACE... I want no Game Mobo and also this is the WS line I enjoyed for so many years, I was happy there was a (1) choice in Ausu line...
For the Ram I ended up liking the Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 128GB (4x32GB) DDR4 3600
I was thinking about Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 128GB DDR4 3600 but they only come in Quad form. My previous built was a Quad Ram system, but I figure with the kind of speed I'm getting, I won't be missing that extra bandwidth...
So I already have a decent Power Supply: Corsair AX1200i Digital ATX — 1200 Watt 80 PLUS PLATINUM (more than enough)
I already a GPU card: Asus Evo GTX 1660 Ti (have more than I need)
I have a huge monster of a case: Cosmos II.
So I will have to get a good, solid Cooler. The noize is not an issue for me. As I have the WS in next room...
And now, I suppose all I need is your advice and some amount of luck...
cheers
