That does sound good Dougie. Did that fix the problem (we were talking about this problem on Paltalk the other night.)?

Yes Rich. Your thoughts were spot on. The new PSU fixed the problem.
Many thanks.

I haven't heard any rumbling of plans on anything new from that corner.

From what I hear, Cindy's eight core AMD rig is running fine.
Why would she build another rig just to satisfy your curiosity?

Not talking about "another" rig even the one she has is well enough. When I said "her" PC that means what it says.
I don't need for anyone to satisfy my curiosity (as you say) this thread was for sharing. You you can even share your rig if you like.

I don't know about "rumblings" but I do know she said she builds with AMD exclusively. So I'm waiting to see a build. I'm sure she builds fine rigs.

You didn't say "I want to see her build"
You said you wanted to see "A" build.

I want some G.Skill DDR4 - 3000 R-Red (4*4G) 16gb for my next build and my ticker near stopped when my computer shop wanted $615. Has to be cheaper in the US I would think, even with freight.

Damn! Yeah, I'll say it's a lot cheaper.

Thanks, Cindy. Looks like I will have to source all the hardware from the US except for the case.
Half the brand names I want they haven't got and what they do have is very expensive here.
That's a huge saving just on the Ram alone.

Just did a "AS SSD" test on all my SSD's and two have lost 50% of their speed.
Looks like I have to be more careful what brands I buy in the future.
Their advertized speed is not what you get in the real world usage.
Not Happy.

They aren't Samsung, are they? 
Sounds like an issue with performance degradation.

No Samsungs, Cindy.
Steady state performance seems to be where the SSD's are not cutting the mustard, Cindy.
Performance degradation is a real problem. A real learning curve.
The brands currently are Intel (3), Kingmax, Corsair and Crucial.
Doing a lot of reading up at the moment.
I need to find what works and what doesn't.

On the AS SSD test the kingmax has the heaviest load and pulling 850
The others are only 450, 550 and 650
Something is amiss here and I want to get to the bottom of it.
I want to get the best 2 SSD's for the new build.

Just spent sometime re reading this thread after a long time.
The amount of back slapping that went on and Rich being a master
of excuses had me smiling from ear to ear.
The second image on the first page looks like something out of a scary underwater movie.
I would have felt too embarrassed to even post such a work of art like that.

Why don't you post some pictures of your cylinder build, Dougie.
I really enjoyed seeing them.
You should share them with everyone here.

I will eventually, Cindy.
I was working on one of my latest builds last night and took some photos.
This build I have a M.2 PCIe hard drive with the OS on. All new territory to me.
The Kingston Fury M.2 is exceeding the advertised Read and Write speeds so looking good so far.
Even with a conventional PSU (non modular) and running 5 extra fans the wiring can be carefully hidden if the correct case is chosen.
Here are a couple of Photos. All the extra fans are hooked up to the fan controller.
The tower looks better than the photos give credit for.

NIce looking Dougie. What board did you use with the M.2?

Awesome, Dougie.
Great cable management and I love the case too.
