Re: Quiet build for PS/LR, data organization, little gaming

but I will probably stick with the Corsair. Just to be overzealous: I hope you didn't get me wrong, I seriously said "pick the Corsair", as it's a much better overall value. No I did not get you wrong, and yes you can be very outspoken, but that is perfectly fine with me, no worries ;) (I am German...

Re: Quiet build for PS/LR, data organization, little gaming

Thanks Luca for those extra explanations. Seems like a bit of a tossup between the two then, but I will probably stick with the Corsair. Apart from that, I don't expect much from the RX500 series either, but if it is a bit more power efficient (due to moving from LPE to LPP, as some speculate) and t...

Re: Quiet build for PS/LR, data organization, little gaming

Hi Luca, thanks for those insights. Unfortunately, there seems to be no direct comparison in terms of noise between the two PSUs, so I went for the closest possible comparison. Apples to oranges was the closest I could get ;). But I would have thought that the 800W PSU is (at the same load in Watts,...

Re: Quiet build for PS/LR, data organization, little gaming

I was looking at the figures here: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/beQuiet/StraightPower_10_800W/6.html and here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/corsair-rm550x-power-supply,4484-5.html Yes, the one is a test for the 800W power supply but even then, the RM550x seems to be much quieter at any...

Re: Quiet build for PS/LR, data organization, little gaming

I see. In that case, I might just go with a non-M.2 SSD behind the motherboard tray. I will also look into the Intel 600p again. In any case, that will be the SSD the operating system will be on, plus any photos I will be at the time working on (and the PS scratch disk space). As for HDR, it doesn't...

Re: Quiet build for PS/LR, data organization, little gaming

Thanks for your replies, much appreciated :). I had thought to buy a third fan like the R5 case fans, but the suggestion to use one like on the cooler might be even better. As for 10bit displays, that is a good point. I think I will have to read about that and check about that, but I was under the i...

Re: I need an urgent advice for wich memory to buy

That's DDR4 3000 Mhz RAM, right? I cannot see any reason why it would not (you probably can even run it at 3000 Mhz like it is specified, which is already kind of an OC). Why would you buy new memory?

Quiet build for PS/LR, data organization, little gaming

Hi all, I am new here and not sure whether this post should go into the "Newcomers" or "System advice" category, so if I am wrong here, please move. I already did quite some research for my personal build and have also identified rather clearly what I will need and use my computer for. However, I wo...

Re: Next Generation Monitors

Well, to come back to the initial question: You will not have a single-cable solution any time soon. Why? Because you won't get power and data through a single cable any time soon. The power cables are not specified to transmit data, and the data cables can transport limited amounts of power. ... oh...
