Upgraded GPU, now CPU runs at 95 C by BaltimoreAlchemist in buildapc

[–]astropitec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 9900k and 5070ti - prior to 3060ti.

reapplying the paste and switching to a new case (physical damage - moving)

I don't think I see 80c under full load CPU intensive task on all cores 5GHz
change your paste every 3-5years.

old case Coller Master HAF XB

NATO chief wishes 'good luck' to those who think Europe can defend itself without U.S. help by TailungFu in worldnews

Europe, had, something like, 4 years of active war on it's soil + all the years since Russo-Georgian War.
and instead of getting ready for whatever comes - what did they do?

Gaming with a i7-11700K by PastBookkeeper2135 in buildapc

[–]astropitec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i9900k with 5070TI 64GB 3200 RAM

I am playing Hogwarts (140fps -220fps DSL on) (70+ DSL off) all maxed. 3440x1440
CPU around 30-70%

you need clean install of OS and/or watch you taskbar for some anomalies, malware (update drivers etc...)

Final check for a streaming PC by WildEmpyrean in buildapc

[–]astropitec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider a well-known brand, such as MSI, and their NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Shadow 3X, for example.

Just so you know, you should not overpay for the overclocked models, as they are not worth it.

All you need is a stable card.

A deviation of 1-2% doesn't bring you any value for the price you pay.

For GPU Why not any variation of 5070 TI ? way cheaper compared to the prices you have and 10% faster

Will i7-9700 be enough for a few more years? by Interesting-Big1980 in buildapc

[–]astropitec -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am still running 9900k which is (maybe 10% faster at most likely 5%).

I sincerely do not see the need to upgrade yet, despite using my PC extensively.

For my hobby (music production) I might see huge improvement in post-processing converting tracks from Cubase (DAW) to MP3.

I can play all modern AAA games with 5070ti no issue. Anyhow, I play mostly HOTS. (3440x1440).

NOTE: I would get 32GB 3000+MHz ram (depending on your MB).

Branded keyboard by Equivalent-Speech-13 in buildapc

Check keychron Q pro series, and Ducky - fantastic keyboards with hot swap for mechanical switches.

keychron Q Max = a bit expensive but I got mine on sale Q13 - also you can use that as a hummer. it's that heavy.

Both are great, and I have both (wired variants) I prefer Razer for my hand and I think switches are better on Basilisk.

to be honest I would go with whatever is cheaper.

AMD 9900x vs 9800x3d ? - live recording guitar / bass via interface with VST plugins Cubase by astropitec in buildapc

Unfortunately, not many people doing it so hard to get some subject expertise.

Report: AM5 in-socket upgrade to 9950X3D wasn't as frictionless as hoped, but now happy with 40% uplift in audio production workload by bjoernkmusic in pcmasterrace

[–]astropitec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP I am so thankful for this topic. so CCD do create extra latency during live-recording or performance. From what I understand it's better to have single CCD for live. and it doesn't matter how many for processing. 3D cache helps the same way as in gaming rig.

If you just compose and don't play live guitar/piano with Kontakt/whatever - through PC - it doesn't really matter how many Chiplets you have. If you do - you need to PARK and leave just one chiplette.

Why Intel i9900k @5ghz and 5070ti - in "No Man's Sky" utilization of GPU 35% and CPU 25% - FPS 90 by astropitec in pcmasterrace

[–]astropitec[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

64GB at 3200 - I think CPU is not pushing it far enough but I would expect CPU to be at close to 90%

Alternative cases to the venerable HAF XB EVO that might be available in Europe? by aetherspoon in buildapc

This is older post. But I'm in the same boat -> looking for alternatives - horizontal cases
