Graphics card will more than likely be an ASUS GeForce GTX 1050Ti ROG STRIX 4GB GDDR5. I am considering using my Samsung 1TB 850 Pro out of my laptop for te data drive but that may change, but it has to be a Samsung Pro. So, the waiting begins... It sounds great and I hope you have it soon. I think you are getting a great computer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigb Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 You'd think something called an i9 would come with NINE processors, not eight, ya? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synkrotron Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Well, it arrived. Weighs a tonne... Never had a full tower before! I only had time to verify that it switches on then I had to get back to other stuff. It was my youngest son's birthday yesterday (currently half past midnight here in the UK) and, of course, I had to be in attendance. I managed to jump back to it about ninety minutes ago and I am currently, and very slowly, installing stuff and changing settings to suit. I also installed the GPU, which wasn't fitted during the main build. That appears to be okay and I am seeing if I have time to download a game to test it out. Plugged in my two OCTA-CAPTUREs and although I haven't installed a DAW yet, I can at least confirm that they function as audio devices. So much to do... I'll be back in about a week with some pics Not that there is much to see... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synkrotron Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Haha! Well, besides the M.2 NVMe drive, which contains the OS, I opted for a cheap and cheerful Samsung 1TB QVO drive, despite its bad write-ups. Perhaps I should have a look at removing those hard drive bays Doesn't seem to get warm enough to keep my pies warm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
