If you were to take the drive that's under the top M.2 slot out and move it to one of the other ones, you'd get the x8 lanes back. That's because the top one is wired to the CPU to support Gen5 drives and steals 4 lanes from the 16 for the GPU.

[@pdamasco]

I was going to say the exact same thing. Phil needs those lanes for the GPU more, plus they bought gen4 drives anyway so they don't need the gen 5 slot.

[@NarenDrives]

Surprised Jay didn’t configure the drives this way.

[@marklinton4567]

Thought the same thing. There's an RTFM joke in there somewhere.

[@user-sg5vb7ou9i]

So I have the z790 tomahawk with a 12gb 3080ti. I have the m.2 plugged in on the top slot above the gpu. Should I change this or is it just an issue when running the 4090 which has double the vram?

[@zebrapluto530]

Of course you wouldn't have this problem with an AMD AM5 platform as it has dedicated CPU PCIe 5.0 lanes for M.2. And once you want/get a Gen 5 M.2 drive you'll really wish you were on AM5. 😉

[@AstralVibez]

22:35. Something about hearing "thats a good sign" in a light voice just for it to transition to "17 memory training reboots later" just killed me💀

[@NCC-1664]

what is a memory training reboot? lol

[@AstralVibez]

@@NCC-1664 a slightly longer process of booting, my pc does has the option for it on. dont know if its ddr5 specific or in general depending on bios settings and cpu. its a boot process that ensures stability and good connection between your ram and cpu before completing the boot up. its useful to prevent potential crashes which im sure are rare anyways, its mostly useful when using expo settings or "overclocking" your ram etc etc. there could be more to it but thats what i know about it

[@dmariusg]

The Torrent has a GPU anti-sag bracket in the box of accessories - it`s quite nicely done. And what the guys said below about the PCIe lanes - RTFM and figure out what M.2 slots give you back the 16 lanes for the GPU.

you thought they have plenty of pc power and now it still in not enough so more power is still required🤣

I have 10 years working as an Assistant Editor. I’ve worked in reality tv nearly all of the entire time. We almost universally work in proxy offline media. Why don’t you guys transcode to proxy for editing and then Uprez at the end? DaVinci is pretty kind when making proxies and relinking/exporting. Doing so wouldn’t add tooo much time and you’d be able to continue using the old system.

[@metalmaniac788]

It has most likely only dropped it to an 8x because you populated that top nvme slot. it shares lanes with the pcie slot. if you dont have a gen 5 drive you should put that drive in another slot and you will get the full 16x bandwidth out of your pcie slot.

[@evanractivand]

That and I don't know why 3x smaller NVME drives is needed, just go 2x 8TB ones or something. They're expensive, but if that much capacity is needed for quick ingesting footage it's a business cost

[@zzaretube]

@@evanractivand The 3rd drive is very very useful in an editing rig. Since he is editing from a 2 TB drive, it would not be smart to put video editor cache (for either Premiere or Resolve) on the same drive as it would lower the performance and shorten the lifespan of the drive. And the boot drive is not good for cache for the same reason. This is the perfect editing setup.

[@Xenoch1]

But why not set up an SSD zfs pool, a couple 25gb NICs and edit off the network. More stable and maybe even quicker

[@mikem9536]

@@zzaretube You could partition one drive to be 2.

[@xthelord1668]

@@Xenoch1 because it is so much more expensive to run a ZFS pool considering you need to now invest into tons of storage AND you also need to bear insanely loud fans to cool all the drives having a local editing machine is cost effective since large pools are only worth if you have like 10+ people accessing said archive

[@rashkavar]

As someone who set up a Fractal Design Torrent system a few months ago, I've already come to appreciate just how easy the dust filters are to work with. I'm in a pretty dusty house, so I've cleaned them out a couple of times already - not because it was clogged but because I could see in and "oh hey, there's dust, and it's a 5 minute job to pull the front off and slide out the bottom filter and vacuum both. As filter systems go, it's ease of access is definitely top tier compared to what I've worked with in the past, and it's really nice not seeing dust collect on the outlets like my old computer which is half-dead thanks to dust buildup cooking the cpu a bit too much. That suggests to me it's actually *catching* the dust, which the old case failed to do. Of course, this is coming from someone who just replaced a 9 year old computer, so this could be merely average dust filtering performance by today's standards. Regardless, I hope it serves you well. And, totally biased opinion here, but the build looks great. Much better than mine, which is rather dwarfed by the case. (I splurged on a really good airflow case when I could get one so that I can use it for future builds; my current hardware is substantially more modest, and correspondingly is proportionally dwarfed by the vast void that is the interior of the Torrent.)

[@DJReflect]

I run an Aero 4080. That 4090 as well as the card I have came with a great anti sag bracket in the box. You can see it at 10:09. Works really well.

[@RobertFromEarth]

I would be worry to run this 4090 without a sag bracket. KrisFix-Germany videos often point out problem with sag; it can crack the pcd near the PCI pins or put pressure on VRAM chips and break the soldering.

[@KeithZim]

Sag should not be a thing. It's simply a matter of cheaping out on the design. When your card is already the most expensive it should be a crime... My 6800xt which is the heaviest card I have ever owned does not sag. The back plate can support all of the cards weight................

[@ninjapirate47]

Yeah, I actually went with the gigabyte 4090 as performance wise they are MOSTLY the same and it's their overclocking potentials which vary. The sag bracket for the gigabyte oc got a lotta praise. My motherboard actually comes with reinforced slots. At least they're paying attention to how heavy these things are becoming. The card is an absolute monster.

[@kasper_429]

13:50 Probably because most NVME MFGs are advertising the included-heatsink drives as PS5 compatible, which needs the heatsink so it doesn't overheat inside the console.

[@ericheft6184]

Hope we get a follow up video with the performance benchmarks and temps. I would love to see how well the system does air cooling the components as well as the real world performance tradeoff between using 3x SSDs vs 1 or 2.

[@omarc_br]

Yeah, specially because DaVinci resolve is pretty cpu intensive for some tasks and does some nice multithreading.

[@Saturdaymorninghero]

You'd think with the cashflow adobe has that they could improve their render engine. But just like Pro Tools, they sat on their butts thinking they were at the top too long. Then they act surprised when another company swoops in and starts taking their users.

[@AlexRubio]

He uses Adobe cuz he's used to it. In my opinion DaVinci is much better than Adobe premiere.

[@catalystguitarguy]

@@AlexRubio My friend still uses the adobe suite on the monthly sub plan for his indie studio but is switching to Resolve after this current project wraps.

[@Techno-Tanuki]

The M.2 drives with the attached heat spreaders are for the mobos that are cheaper and do not have heat spreaders already on the boards as well as game consoles like the PS5 which do not have a head spreader for expanded storage so the drive needs to have its own.

[@rflagg88]

I heard June, is that right?

[@YuProducciones]

7:51 divine Jay

[@ZulqarnainAidil]

I wonder what format you are using. The FX6 does support XAVC-L and the bitrate can go as low as 60mbps at 4K30p, so you could use that as you transition. What I think is the culprit is just Premiere will have some issues with Sony's XAVC containers and there is a bug that will cause it to use as much RAM as you have, completely ignoring the memory settings. The worst part is that it's so random. You can start the project without any issues but you can save and open it up again and the issue suddenly appears and now will never go away. So fuck Adobe.

[@BeastyBite]

heavily depending on how you setup files and the pipeline you work in and the grade of post production. 98% of editors use proxies so the fileformat on the timeline doesnt matter anyways. the ram usage usually comes from after effects motion design for example in combination with premiere pro.

[@ZulqarnainAidil]

@@BeastyBite We don’t use AE on a majority of our projects, or not through dynamic link anyways. We do use proxies and on my pc, media cache and storage is setup specifically how premiere likes it. High RAM usage is pretty random. Doesn’t happen often but when it does it can come to the point where I have to look through the autosaves because I can’t proceed at all anymore. Doing all this is optional on Resolve and I’m so happy to have switched to it. Resolve still uses a lot of RAM, at least 32gb is recommended, but I’ve never had it to the point of critical failure when all I had was 16gb of RAM (WFH transition is tough when your PC was meant for just gaming) Edit: I should say that I use resolve for my own projects. When I’m working for my company, I use premiere because the main editor uses premiere. I usually don’t edit for them but I’ll take it on if there’s just too many projects going on.

[@jcr3891]

Heck yea @Phil YOU HAVE THE ABSOLUTE BEST MONTAGES AND PRODUCTION! YOU DESERVE IT BRO! The entire crew seems to very “good at what they do” for lack of better wording! 😂

I'm pretty sure the Torrent comes with a GPU support bracket. My GPU did as well so I'm using that one.

[@benderbi]

Phill will LOVE Resolve specially if he learns Fusion, it's just AMAZING

[@linnoff]

I'd be curious to see a side-by-side of the editing performance between the two systems. Also, PNW Microcenter? I'm in Portland, but even one in Seattle would still be really nice, and seems like a place with high demand for such a store.

[@dimitridjuric3886]

Same here. There's very little solid info on what really affects editing performance. All people measure is export time which IMO isn't that important (who cares if your video exports in 8min vs 13min). Most of the time in editing is spent cutting and playing back clips, grading, etc, saving a few minutes for export is insignificant. Also big files are not always the hardest to edit on. Prores 422 is big but playsback easy. More important I think is how smoothly h265 type file play back, forwards and backwards.

[@bigbill1467]

Jay: we are making this for ultra reliability Also Jay: Hold my heat gun and watch this! *proceeds to screw with storage drives*

[@STAG162]

I also moved from PP CS6 to DVR18 and the difference is phenomenal. There is SO MUCH MORE you can do inside of DVR18 like with Fusion (that's one hell of a rabbit hole), but really it can be as easy or as complex as you like.

[@vrijegeest512]

@@martinsmallridge4025 Most of the GPU acceleration is locked behind studio but it's still worth learning resolve from the free version. By the time you are editing footage where hardware acceleration will make a huge difference hopefully the $300 for resolve will be a non issue.

[@乃-c9e]

Yeah they shouldn’t’ve bought the heat sink models if they knew they were gonna use the mobo heat spreader, but maybe they didn’t have heat sink-less 1TB models in stock. I got the same drives, and my mobo doesn’t have a heat spreader, but the M.2 slots are so close together the heat sinks are too wide and don’t fit. The complaint/problem is that it’s not removable like all other M.2 heat sinks.

[@ShalowRecord]

You don't need a beastly computer to run DaVinci Resolve. I edit 4k videos with high bitrate on a 1080ti by using proxy and cutting the proxy resolution in half while editing. Then convert back to full resolution before exporting.

[@Femerenden]

Jay or Phil, or Nick take a look at the motherboard manual for the PCIE lane distribution, there should be a setup option for the amount of drives you have to not loose the lanes that you did with the current setup. ALSO, Jay or Phil, or Nick, pick up the 4090 box again. The Gigabyte card should have a very decent sag bracket that is attached to the motherboard mounting screws and supports the card very robustly, as opposed to a 3d printed one.

[@Gamecapturevideo]

Objectively, the build is amazing and will make a great 2023 editing rig, kudos! 👏 As a 3970x user I don't understand why you didn't just upgrade the ram to 128 or even 256GB. You won't get the PCIE Lane bottleneck on TRX40 platform either. I mean, that wouldn't make as fascinating of a video, but I feel like you've painted the 13900k with 128GB of ram as an upgrade to a TR system with 64GB, where you can easily upgrade the TR system and get better results than what you had previously without a complete rebuild.

[@dmr778810]

I did some research, and found out that there is (potentially) a Micro Center coming to Miami, Florida. Mall of America has it listed as development on their site, and Micro Center hasn't officially confirmed it. However, a Reddit user said they talked to the building manager and speculated that it should be opening December 2023 - Summer 2024. So I'm excited for that.

[@b1lleman]

I am waiting for them to come to Europe 😁😇

[@Ipurgepeople]

As someone living in Jacksonville, this pains me. I was really hoping if they opened a store in FL it would be in Orlando - don't get me wrong I absolutely despise Orlando traffic, but it's far more centrally located than Miami is. Honestly, it seems like a lost opportunity to me. UNFORTUNATELY, Jacksonville is closer to Atlanta(~5h15m) than Miami (~6h), and a 5+ hour drive is just not worth it to go to a PC store. So, sadly, it's still out of reach for me if they do indeed decide to go to Miami. Orlando is ~3.5h from Miami, Tallahassee is a few minutes farther, 2h from Jacksonville & Tampa, and a few minutes less from Gainesville. It just makes more sense to me as someone who has lived here most of his life.

[@disguiseddv8ant486]

That reddit post is old. It's not cost efficient for Micro Center to open a store in Miami because of high leasing space/rent, high distribution/shipping cost. Miami are in the same situation as Seattle. It's EASY for Micro Center to open a store in Indy because it's cheaper to lease out a space, cheap delivery cost, and the corporate office is almost 3 hours away in Hillard, OH for a short run for in house delivery. There are no short delivery runs to Miami or Seattle.

[@fluidfix]

Hi, just a quick one 19:12 this will create an issue my fried, in time as you used air cooling and it is going to be used for long amounts of time doing important stuff that creates heat and it being 13th gen this has a possibility to crack solder balls under chips if all motherboard mounting screws are not utilised properly. You left once close to heath source and in the centre of the board. Thermal expansion and possible fractures that manufacturers take under consideration when designing and testing. Not mounting those screws allowing motherboard to expand and bend - bow, that is not good. My best regards.

You can actually run 4 sticks of memory using XMP on motherboards with Z790 chips. Intel 13th gen supports a max 5600 that is not considered overclocking so installing 4 memory sticks with speeds equal to 5600 (or 5200 for that matter) will successfully boot using XMP profile. Make sure you're on the latest firmware. Asus motherboards with their latest bios update have finally addressed this matter last month. Z690 motherboards will also receive a bios update to address this very soon.

[@annakissed3226]

Questions for you Jay?? 1. Why did you choose to use a single SSD for the scratch disk rather than using two of them in RAID 1 pair? Your scratch drive(s) are going to get far more writes than your OS drive or your 2TB intial storage drive? 2. Why did you buy the SSDs from the same manufacturer? I thought the advice was to use different manufacturers for SSDs & Hard Drives because that way the SSDs will fail to "Read only" at different points in time. 3. Wendell from Level 1 techs is recommending using ex-enterpise Intel/micron storage that's not as fast as RAM but a lot faster than SSD as the scratch space for editing? 4. Do you use Tape for your long term storage?

[@Silverturky]

i've got 2 WD Black SN 770's and i have had no issues at all with them. though, pretty dumb to glue the drive to that bracket when most people who DIY will remove the heatsink to use the mobo heat spreaders...had fun in this one! thanks for the great content!!

[@Greenytica]

Shouldn't need to 3D print a sag bracket, Torrent comes with a pretty good one that screws in from the back corner of the card.

[@DJofSparta]

Love the Microcenter videos. It's like an adventure. We have one near me in Michigan and I bought most of my components there.

[@EGH666]

even the NVMEs without heatsinks, if you REALLY need it, you can buy an add-on heatsink for a few bucks and it can be removed easily afterwards. it's what i did for my ps5

[@mrcharlied4228]

Hey Jay, the ones with heatsinks are for non premium motherboards, old motherboards and PS5s. You already know you should’ve bought the ones without a heatsink

[@tylerrencher5559]

For anyone that's interested, a Corsair 1000 shift PSU does fit in this case. I'm running almost this exact rig and it's fine. Don't screw the PSU in until you have all the cables plugged into the PSU. You will need to move the PSU around a bit when doing the install.

2:00 ~ This "overlap" comes from the fact that both "activities" use 'graphic intense' use of resources and workloads are VERY similar (if not identical), hence, you want a GREAT "gamig" PC to to edits on graphic things like video, rendering and such. :) "Visual Arts" -if you will- 'share the space'.

Indy person here. OHMYGODWEREGETTINGAMICROCENTER. The whole Fry's Electronics thing just left a big hole in the hearts of nerds around here. Been following it for a while.

[@Tummy_Turner]

I know that I'm a year late but in around 2017-2018 when I lived in Indy, I remember going to a Micro Center to start upgrading my PC, but I believe it wasn't the new one they had built on 86th it was more north from that. Either way I was so happy that there was a Micro Center and being able to go to one and buy parts to build a new system.

[@Skymack351]

Already knew we were getting a Micro Center. Already submitted my application! 😄

[@LegandaryTaker2008]

The wd black nvme that come with heatsink is meant for the ps5. They do sell it without heatsink 13:05

[@mashrien]

Hey hey a sponsor spot that's actually relevant; I'm running their AIR-100 ARGB and I quite like the case. Clean, minimal, no gimmicks, tons of room even for a small case, and abundant venting.

[@Splittail]

I'll be about 4 miles from the new MC in Indianapolis. We lost frys a couple years ago, so immediate fixes for failures pretty much stopped. I'm excited they are coming and the kid is already planning on a new build

[@JaredGunstonTV]

i've recently started watching and find i LOVE the teams sense of humour. I've been trying to find some guides on Building a PC for Production (Audio/Video) etc, but doesn't have to be TOP END, home studio which i've done my entire life and have lived comfortably with an i7 7500 laptop now for the past 5 years... recently though as plugins become more demanding I'm seeing my CPU taking its toll. (It being Dual Core, 4 threads). So... I have my eyes on a Ryzen 4600G (and perhaps having the flexibility to later upgrade to an 8core), no need for a discrete gaming video card, and a B550 Motherboard. I was hoping perhaps to see a "Mid Levelled" pc Build with a bit of upgradability for my kind of work. Love the content! All the best guys.

[@lostphotographs3936]

Will say though the vid looks CRISP. Worth the $$$ IMO. Nice upgrade Phil!

[@Ali_ReBORN]

Anybody who gets what it feels like getting your new pc components.. that euphoria feeling and excitement.. that was all here in this video 😊

[@Vortex-Gamin]

So happy Indy is getting a microcenter. So needed

[@VinceW187]

That store just looks like a corner of heaven, especially now that more is back in stock. Would be amazing to visit one day. Let's hope for European stores

[@wardvids]

Nice to see an editing rig get built. Built mine a little more than a year ago for photoshop / lightroom. MSI z690 pro ddr4 mobo. / i7-12700KF / G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) 4000MHz - 2 kits for 128GB / MSI RTX 3060 Ventus 2x 12GB. Originally went with a Thermaltake TOUGHAIR 510 180W air cooler, which didn't cool well enough, swapped that for the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 240. Just upgraded storage: OS drive - 980 Pro 1TB / (2) 980 Pro 2TB in the PCIE 4 slots / 1 970 EVO Plus 2TB in the PCIE 3 slot. If I were to do it differently, I would look for memory with a faster base speed, since I learned - from you - that I can't enable XMP with 4 sticks. So I'm stuck right now with 2666 MHz until they update the bios to handle 4 sticks with XMP, or I decide 2666 just isn't fast enough. Wondering were I to pull 2 sticks and go with 64GB, if XMP would work.....

[@joshtheking1772]

You're gonna live those WD Black drives. I've had ZERO issues with them . Write, rewrite, reclaim, they dont care and just keep running. You're gonna love them. I haven't even looked back when I used to use Samsung Evo, ill stick with Western Digital from here on out.

[@Deckard.Pain.]

The top slot on this board is for pcie 5.0 ssd and takes lanes away from the pcie on the cpu, use the next 3 if you only have gen 4 ssd that way all pcie lanes go to the gpu

[@masonmiller2697]

I'm one of the people who got excited out loud when you mentioned. Haven't had anything like MC around here since Fry's.

[@TheLordVyper]

the mark of a professional. made a silly error and didn’t hide it, kept it in so we the people can see that it can indeed happen to the best of us.

[@rogerdefreitas1891]

Congratulations Jay, only recently discovered you channel while looking for custom loop info. Subscribed ever since as I really enjoy your style and knowledge!

[@DBLCreations]

I personally have a 2TB WD SN850 with heatsink for in my PS5. I've been using it ever since it was supported on PS5 and it's still working great! I love this drive! Sadly enough they don't have the 4TB available anymore. Because i would've bought that one!

[@extremepcs2807]

I love having a Microcenter close to me. Get stuff the same day, and usually their prices are the same as Amazon and Newegg, often cheaper.

[@matthewhoban7855]

The new camera footage looks great!

[@anthonyholmes5965]

Indianapolis is close to me and I’m super stoked we’re finally getting a Micro Center.

[@uhknifeedge]

I'm one of those in the Indy area who have never had the honor of going to a Micro Center and for those who don't know where it is going, it will be where the old Gander Mtn. was in Castleton by Costco. I was hoping they would go with a hub type location and move into the old Incredible Universe (Fry's) building, but I'm just stoked to have one opening. Sources tell me June 24th is the expected open date... I will be camped out for the opening for sure.

[@kasper_429]

9:35 Where can we see a list of the new stores coming between now and 2025? There already is one here in VA, but it's 4+ hours away from me. I'd kill for one in southern VA or northern NC.

[@jeepguitargod]

They're supposedly opening a micro center in Charlotte, NC too! I would have on in driving range! Very excited

[@SEEshadow]

Indy here. Super stoked for the new Micro Center coming!

[@capinrad9826]

Jay im happy to see you using my favorite mobo manufacturer I just update to an all AM5 build ryzen 7 7700x with a 7900 XT and i have a Aorus x670E and i love it worked great

[@ianchristmas]

I had to separate the same NvMe a year ago. Only a small warping to the SSD, but it works well as a flash drive.

[@streamtabulous]

2 Kits of 64 No issues, as long as there in kits in pairs there no issues. if it where single sticks of 64 that be a different story, just be sure to put each kit in the right slot for the pairs.

[@tc2973]

nice build! Hey Jay, i live in Indianapolis. I am crazy excited about microcenter opening this summer. it will be 25 minutes from home. the closest MC now is sharonville OH, about 1 hr 45 minute drive. Frys closed in 2021 and the only choice is BB or amazon. cant wait.

[@andersborum9267]

Just completed a build with everything WD, Corsair (including 64 GB DDR-6000), 13700K, Gigabyte board/GPU and it's fantastic (upgraded from an aging 6700K w. a 3080 ti).

[@Stormpriest]

I'm running two kits of Corsair vengeance, 32 gigs. Each set 64 all told of course. It seems I lucked out in that it never gave me issues on posting.

[@john-paultolczyk2434]

I hope micro center will come down under to Australia one day. Our tech stores are not like your micro center in the USA. You have to go to a desk and ask for the part you need for your build that,s how it works here down under. 😀😏😃🙂😎😍

[@Slacker28]

22:57 How did you get to see the bandwidth for the PCIE components because I have a Tuf x570 and I can't find it anywhere?

[@YouShortz22]

You just made my day! I live in Indiana, and I've been wishing they would build one closer to me. Yipeee.

[@MrGlenbo357mag]

13900KS is a great CPU. The 1 I got will do ~5.9ghz all P core. Cinebench23 5.62ghz(301watts) score 39988 under 93C with EKWB Velocity2 full nickel. Great Video!
