Tiny Apple factory slave child hands required...

yep defo - those spudgers got refunded so i will look into making one. I found a old plastic one but they are weak.

Turns out the laptop was easy(ish) to pry, however I did buy some quality spudgers. The ribbon cables weren't too crazy if I got down to eye level, one gave me a little trouble, the connector was tricky to reinsert & lock. The SSD went in smooth after a little fight removing the HDD but I left the RAM for now, although now I know how it comes a part I will try it at some point. I did a clean install on the HDD & cloned it to the SSD as when it went pear shaped I didn't have much on in the way of files and software that wasn't easy to reinstall.

Surprisingly Win10 only uses 2.9GB of RAM max that I have noted, with 2GB spare and 1GB dedicated for the R4 GPU & with a nice rainy day ahead I may see how well it handles a fairly complex edit RAM wise. It's really nice to be back on OS SSD from boot, fast, smooth and well optimised with this quad core. Really quiet again, HDD's are so loud!

HDD's are so loud!

I can hardly hear my 6 in one of these, right next to me. On heavy compute tasks, I occasonally hear other fans - they're good cheap silent cases.

Passive CPU cooling isn't effective enough, fanless PC power supplies don't appear to last long. I don't think there's any sensible way to retrofit sound dampening material to laptops...

Tbf my 2xHDD in the 4000d are well sound proofed, I hear the 6 fans more & I am currently moving all my GP vids back to the laptop now I have a free 1TB I can use for projects it'll be nice to have one drive to store all MP4's and free up some network storage for more ISO's pml.

I've seen them, I thought the likes of SeaSonics are quality but I have no experience of the brand or the tech.

the fan on my seasonic psu wont even spin unless it reaches a certain load and one of the best brands you can buy for a decent psu and a 12 year warranty on some of them.

but with the new nvidia cards they want a smart psu for there new connector pita.

The longest a low spec Corsair has lasted me is 7 years. When they don't fail immediately, they last for years. And when they do appear to fail immediately, I find they usually can be revived by use of a paperclip to switch them on - they're very sensitive and will go into protection mode, often due to shorts and USB hubs.

Passive cooling solutions for graphics cards don't look appealing either - I doubt they'd fare well under heavy loads for long periods of time common in video editing.

corsair has gone down the **** pipe quality wise and price gone up gone are the good old days.

i sent it back to scan and got a seasonic 1300w one for the same price

Sounds to me like it was dropped too often by a delivery ape. Power supplies are robust, but not that robust.

 

[soundwave]

no it was a fault it just got louder the more load you put on it drove me up the fkn wall tbh and icue is just crap

BTW I'm finding a (rotated) guitar stool (thinner with legs instead) useful for preventing neck pain from my mousing arm. Saves modifying a desk with a slideout elbow shelf.

Bugger, I purchased and are using a CX550F RGB, so far I have had no troubles, ramps up a little at boot but then settles, also ARGB in from my cheapo gamemax hub worked nicely, popped it in upside down, too dusty otherwise. I was not a huge fan of RGB but the case needed some colour, so I went cheapest ARGB as poss incase I upgrade to an ARGB mobo etc.

I do hope it lasts although I only paid £32 in the black friday madness 2021, with 1300w what are you powering SLI 2080 ti or sumut??

Corsairs do last years in my experience, even the cheap ones. As with all PC power supplies, there's always the odd DOA.

 

[PC2017]

Corsairs do last years

Aye, it seems quality, same with the case, this was the first component purchase in years, the PSU before stilled worked and was ACE brand & tbf it was a good 750w PSU that lasted years with heavy dust build up when my other half didn't look after it, but I did need an 8 pin PCIe for the GPU upgrade that never happened still waiting for deflation in the tech market pml. 1080 for £200, 1660 hasn't gone down much.

Because I don't game, I wouldn't mind trying an Intel Arc for video editing - people pissed off with shoddy drivers could flood the secondhand market with them soon?

i have dual xeon cpus so needed 2 6 pin cpu power so limits what psu i can buy i did get a cheap no brand one so could send back the corsair one and it did not even work.

 

[PC2017]

Because I don't game

Give it month n those ARK prices might come down, I would imagine they will sort those pesky drivers out soon

dual xeon

Totally forgot you have 2x sever cpu's running.

not to mention a fixed tariff on energy from 2015

 

[soundwave]

but why does it have 4 pins and only 2 used or is that for the can bus signal to make only NVidia psu to work with there gfx cards only.

if they used better connectors and solid cable cores that can handle the amps you dont need 4 8pin power connectors on bloody a gfx card.

what next a fkn subscription fee to let you over clock the gfx card and use all the power you paid 1k for anyway and then have to pay a premium to get the best drivers b4 anyone else as they fooked it up in the first place

i have dual xeon cpus

I've read there could be a thread limit in DaVinci Resolve, causing it to use only one of your Xeon CPUs instead of both at rendering time. Let's hope DaVinci resolve this in Resolve soon. You could try VSDC, which is also free or £22 - it's renderer is the fastest I've seen.
