Yader Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Noctua has good coolers and your RAM should be at least 128GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check Noctua coolers and buy two sticks of 64GB RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archz2 Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 Any comments on Gigabyte 4090? I can't find any comparisons for different brands when it comes to rendering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggi Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 No idea about the 4090, but for sims you will need much more disk space. Especially flip sims can take a lot of disk space and if it is a bit more complex you save the simulation result, volumes, meshes, whitewater source, whitewater particles and finally whitewater volumes. Even for a few hundreds frames this will exceed your 500GB. You will need at least a few terabytes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPara Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 All the 4090s are basicly the same. The windforce have a vapor-chamber that will lead heat away from other components. And you dont want to overclock something that will be rendering 24/7. And you need alot of storage, that stuff runs out pretty fast, and 500gb is nothing. 500gb is barely enough for windows/software alone.
