Ok, this is not a gaming machine - I don't do games :-) This system's main job is image processing (astro images), video rendering, and general multi-tasking stuff like 24/7 YouTube streaming and everything else you use a computer for. The MB on my old Win7 Intel system died and I figured it was time to pony up for a new system. I'll mainly just be keeping the drives from that (3 x Samsung 2.5 SSDs and 5 mechanical drives - but the latter may not all go in this new build). I have a 1080 in the old machine but I guess that will be redundant now. The old system used a SuperFlower 1000w PSU and I'm wondering if the Seasonic 850w in the new will be enough? Memory could be increased I guess but that can be added later.

my tag line is waay out of date lol
 
lol, ok thanks for that :) Got to be a better system than the RaspPi 4GB I'm having to use right now - although Win10 might be a step down..

lol i dont mind 10
been in windows insider builds since the beginning
and got loads of image backups
so 3 minutes to load one to get out of a mess lol
which i get in a lot by doing stuff to windows i shouldnt:D:D
 
@ChrisLX200

recommend aorus board, same price with sale on it , includes wifi and better RMA being UK based with rep support on here

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £411.08 (includes shipping: £11.10)


Phase set up between the two is;

Aorus 12 Phases at 70amps Controlled via a 16 Channel PWM
Asus is 16 Phases at 70amps controlled via a 8 Channel PWM - so its an 8 Phase deign twinned up .

if your warranty is up on the PSU then replace it - if not could keep till its up and then change

keeping costs down - two of these

Hey thanks for the reply :) I did look at that Gigabyte board but the VRM was actually seen as a weak point on the reviews I saw - the cooling IIRC? Anyway, I don't need WiFi, but the extra M.2 slot and extra 16-bit slot could be an advantage. I'll review the memory selection though. I'm currently waiting on delivery of new BIOS chips for the old system board (they will need soldering in..), if successful I'll keep running the old rig as a server. Anyway, appreciate your time to post a reply!

They run slightly higher, mostly down to thinner heatsink in limited area - if they split phases like they did as ASUS do then temps would be lower . Easiest was to think about it is asus shots signal from a Fork junction to one Phase and then another one after the other were as Aorus isn't splitting but using both Phases at the same time- hence is a Twin 8 phase Vs True 12 phase design .

Good case with airflow will help a little :)
