Haha thanks for the tip, i can totally imagine something like that happening to me, also 192gb will be great for large parcticle sims and such, and i did double check on your say so, also il definatley be checking it myself (it will go through some weeks of benchmarking before i finally use it properly) but OverClockers UK are really good at these type of machines and i’m hoping they will do all the checks for me. While i know i could build myself, the machine is too important to me and i would likely nervous my in to messing up the build somehow, better to let the pros handle it. Thanks again for the info, much appreciated.

Yeah your right, i forgot to add that i will be moving some IO from my old machine too, It wont stay that low for long, thats just for windows/max/photoshop drive image i will be making, my old scratch disks are NVME anyway, so should work fine.

A yeah your offcourse right but, some of my older clients still use ancient software, even for high end 3D stuff lol, and they can afford to keep up the older hardware, my resuorces (and room) are very limited as and independant. Thanks for the advice though, i still havent decided yet.

Thanks for the reply, and yeah gonna need solid IO to flush that kind of RAM at any decent speed once its inevitably full, i have a couple of 4tb NVME alrready i can add to it from my old machine for that though. Thanks for the tip on checking the mb though, gonna go check that, i just assumed it would have 4 slots, gonna take a look now, cheers!

Thanks for the reply, have you by any chance done any 3D rendering stuff, or anything that really hammers the CPU/GPU together or anything like that? Im really hoping someone from the vfx industry who transitioned to AMD catches this, as some of the 3D plugins can be a bit odd sometimes.
