    I have been following your channel for a couple years now and built my first computer using your tutorial. I respect and appreciate your knowledge. but as a newbie, I'm a hard learner. My question is, does the Proart Z790 motherboard support gen 5 m.2 drives and is there an advantage to installing them. I need 2 more drives on my motherboard to complete my build, for the storage portion of the computer. I purchased the ADATA 2TB Legend 970 with heatsink PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe 2.0 M.2 2280 as my main drive, and I'm wondering if that was overkill. What in your professional opinion should I buy, I'm still struggling with that simple decision. I know this may seem like a silly question, but I don't want to toss money into something that doesn't support it. motherboard specs still confuse me a bit. On a good note, the computer works fantastically, thanks to you, but I still have a lot to learn. I follow your videos religiously as they are released, thank you for your time.

    I've been buying Team group ram and SSDs for 3 years now. I've built 5 systems since then and they're always near the cheapest and I've never had a problem & all their speed claims look good to me though I've only benchmarked the Z440s and mp33s so far.

      I can't agree more, I've been exceptionally happy with one of their 1Tb SSD.
      I was really weary of them at first as I wasn't familiar with the brand, but couldn't afford a higher price at the time while also desperately needed to replace a failing system drive.

    I swear gen5 ssd run hot because they have to be the top slot. The air exhausted from the GPU is very hot so the better the M2 cooler on that slot is, the hotter the SSD gets. I'm not running gen 5 but I moved a gen 4 SSD from the top slot to a bottom slot and it's now 8*c cooler.

    Here are the things to keep in mind when you buy SSD:
    1. Buy TLC NAND simple as that. QLC does have HDD speed on Sequential and way more speed on Random. But, the response and indurance is downside.
    2. TBW doesn't matter. Say you bought 500GB SSD from Samsung having 300TBW which is very low compared to other competitors. 300TBW/25 years = 12 TBW/1 year and 12TBW/365 days = 33 GB/ day. If you are very simple user then your average daily writes would be 5GB/ day. So, don't worry about TBW much.
    3. Buy SSD with DRAM on it. Don't cheap out for HBM SSD.
    4. If for desktop then buy good branded PSU with 80 PLUS rating. Most of the devices fail just because of bad PSU.
    5. Don't worry much about thermal throttling for Gen 3 SSDs even for Gen 4/5 SSDs brand sticker that comes acts as thermal pad.

    Despite having already purchased an Asus ProArt Creator WiFi 6E Z790 motherboard, I’ve decided I may as well wait for the launch of Intel’s LGA1851 platform and Arrow Lake 15th Gen CPUs.
    NVMe Gen 5 slots is one of the reasons that I made that decision. Also, Thunderbolt 5.
    Thank you my friend.

    is the best use for this as a cache drive?

  • @raymondleech8719
    @raymondleech8719 15 днів тому +1

    Just a small correction. The temp range is 70c for the z540, not 100c (Intel CPUs). I wish you had thrown on the cooler anyway and measured the difference in both heat and performance.

    what would be a better setup for editing in resolve. having your fastest nvme as the project drive or having the fastest drive as the cache disk?

    • @billythecat
      @billythecat 15 днів тому +1

      If by project drive you mean where your source is then imo:
      1. Sequential speed doesn't matter.
      2. Pay attention to random 4K speed.
      3. Use the one with better random 4k read speed as the project drive. This will help you scrub through layers of high-quality footage more smoothly or when you do multicam.
      4. Use the one with better random 4k write speed as the cache drive. If it happens to be the one in 3., then 3. takes higher priority because in reality, it will be other hardware that bottleneck caching performance.

      ​@@billythecat thanks for the quick reply! yes, by project drive i meant the source drive. so once the material is cached, does the random read speed of the cache drive have any impact on scrubbing the timeline? i couldn't find any valuable information in the davinci manual on this.

    • @billythecat
      @billythecat 15 днів тому +1

      @@wassilifranko9700 In Fusion, caches (the green segments on the fusion timeline) are stored in the ram and read from there.
      In the Edit page, caches (the blue segments on the Edit page timeline) are stored in and read from your cache drive. Yes, you could benefit from better read speed here. But your fastest read drive should be used for your source/proxies because most of your timeline won't be cached, this was what I meant when I said 3. takes the priority. However, if you're shopping for a cache drive, and you're looking at random speed vs random write speed, you should focus on random read speed.

      @@Waldherz He mention he tested in a system without a GPU, also think if team group made that heatsink that big sure they know it is very possible needed and also I come from hearing about a few other Gen 5 NVMe models presenting very wild heat levels I've been hearing since at least last year, long term high temperatures could degrade the unit itself and maybe contribute to deteriorate other parts over time if no that then probably impact some performance here and there.
