Heat management is very important and often overlooked.
Hi.
When I look at your CPU, do I understand why you think cooling is as important as you write, as I see, you are using an OLD CPU with a TDP of 220 Watt. Yes is will work with heavy cooling.
But the coming AMD Ryzen 5 3600 8 core 16 threads CPU have only a TDP of 65 Watt. It is 3.4 times lees, and will therefore require much less cooling. The AMD supplied cooler will be more than enough.
I will recommend Donald to buy one of the many X570 motherboards that will be introduced at the end of this month. AMD have this time really improved the motherboards, it will come with all the Input/Output capabilities, we have been missing in all the previous generations of the AM4 lines of motherboards.
To Donald will I write, that this build will not work as well as the systems as we previous wrote about. It is a build for YouTube, to show how cheap you can get a Resolve system up and running. And it are totally missing things as Harddrives?
Yes, I expect you can work with Resolve for one project. But i expect you want to save your old projects, some where, as you will make new projects?
But as long you buy one of the coming X570 motherboard, will you be able to send the PC back to your builder for upgrades. And then will I suggest you ask for several upgrades at the same time, if you both want more RAM and Harddrives. This will keep the labor cost for upgrades down.
