:oops: Lets hope you had a good backup before it went in for warranty?

Mine would be howling like a banshee with fans at 1800, i would be able to hear it above headphones in game, i find my 5000D with H150i in anything but quiet to be honest, i have tested them by setting fixed speed an anything above 400RPM is noticeably audible

As soon as i read statements like "Especially Windows Server virtualization, where I want to create multiple Active Directory Forests for testing purposes" i would ask are the VM's running concurrently? If they are and there is more than two running 64GB RAM can disappear pretty quickly...

Totally agree, that's why there is a 4TB NAS with spinning disks locked away in my TV cabinet!

I'm about to do the same with mine, the Baraccudas chirp like an agitated bucket of budgies.

Its probably the AIO pump, you need to play with the settings in iCUE, i have mine set to quiet, it runs a tiny bit hotter but keeps the pump noise down. Also check that the pump speed is set against coolant temperature, not CPU temperature, this will cause it to ramp up and down frequently

SQL server Developer edition is free, or if you did want to put it into production can just buy server licence and the correct number of a CALs, its not mandatory to licence per core, depends on the application really as to which way you go.

Resolve can use either to encode, its faster with GPU, presuming it's a decent one of course but my 3070Ti has no issues.

I might be wrong but it think only one of the drives will work as the X570 MB doesn't support bifurcation to spit the PCIe lanes, i wanted to do the same with mine and just used a Startech card that could accept one NVME M.2 and a SATA M.2 if required, works fine on the NVME but haven't used a...

I have the older GL version of that monitor, they are pretty good, more than happy with mine, used mainly for photo and video editing which is why i bought it due to its pretty good sRGB cover, also a bit of gaming.

Yep, i'm not really up on what monitor to use but for high end gaming its not that one for sure

Thats a shot and a miss as far as the monitor goes, it's aimed at content creators and is only 60Hz, i would have thought you want 144Hz?

That was my thought exactly, plugging a phone into a USB-C port isn't going to make a PC more likely to boot, not unless there is something else seriously amiss

That's the value of the resistor ;)

Amazon? https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=computer+packing+box&crid=1FPM4VZQXPX6A&sprefix=computer+packing+box%2Caps%2C90&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

Its a fan PWM splitter and would have been connecetd to one of the MB fan controllers, so the only option to control fans connected to it would be through BIOS or other software, moving them to where you have is the right way to do it as you have found out, iCUE can then see them.

If you login to your account you can change things up to the system going into build As you note you have disregarded the second drive advice, not an ideal config. really

You don't mention what resolution you want but my money would be going to Dell, they make some great office displays, i have used them for years at work and have never had one fail, something like this: 1080p...

I cant hear a whine on your video, sounds pretty quiet to me!

Because its a damn site easier to manage and reinstall a borked OS on a physical drive than a partitioned drive
