Thanks! Good to hear. Guess I'll jump on a 750 then :)

Hehe, thanks for the update - and the sound of your voice/words ;) I agree with you that running this ancient SW is an issue, although I will say that my system is remarkably stable and has very few issues. I can't update due to the good old Nvidia driver problem, and AMD is not an option as I...

Thanks a lot for taking time to respond. Not sure what the take-away is re the WD 750 Black and High Sierra, as I can´t tell if you´re commenting on experiences with High Sierra or later OS?

I read that the WD Black SN75 works great with Monterey. Will the WD Black SN750 also work flawlessly with High Sierra? I just tried replacing my old Samsung M.2 drive with a Samsung 980 Pro M.2 and it resulted in a lot of freezes and crashes. Swapped back to the old one, and now planning on...

Hey, I have a system (see profile) that runs flawlessly. I have two 4K monitors connected: • A Philips BDM4350UC 43" (main monitor) and an ASUS ProArt 32" display (secondary). Both worked like a charm at 4K. • Both connected via Displayport • Both running from the GTX1080ti • Bootloader...

Yes, you may be right. Will research. Also I get a long line of "wake reason: XDCI XHC" messages when I prompt syslog for a wake reason. Possibly some issue with a USB port, monitor or similar.

OK, thanks :) So I shut down Chrome before sleep? Or do you know if there are settings in Chrome (or otherwise) that I can apply to fix this? UPDATE: Just tried shutting down all applications incl. Chrome, but nothing changed: Sleeps for 3 secs, then wakes up again. It says "Idle sleep...

Hey @luke_s Yes, I have actually finished my build using the components listed in my signature :) It was a lot of work and frustration (mainly due to me taking shortcuts or not following directions closely enough), but everything is working fine - except wake/sleep. It cannot sleep. Also, I...

@pastrychef or whoever has input on this: Everything is working on my build - except for sleep/hibernation. Whenever I ask it to sleep it turns off screen, the GPU itself doesn´t sleep, and the monitor wakes up again after some seconds. Shut-down works fine. I do NOT have an ASUS Strix Z370-G...

Hey @rahzah, I´ve faced the same issue and done a lot of research - and here is my short take on this. (If you need more info, I suggest opening a new thread in the relevant forum, so we don´t hijack this thread). • As suggested; check Puget Systems´ tests. They are highly informative and...

Great! Thanks SO much for taking time to respond with specifics. It really helps me a lot :clap::):thumbup::thumbup:

@pastrychef Thanks a lot for the huge undertaking of creating this amazing guide for us! It´s highly appreciated :) Would you kindly help with some specific info for my "ASUS Maximus X Hero" build? 1) USB Ports: I´m building a fresh machine with a ASUS X Hero Z370 (wifi-AC) MB (full specs in...

Hey guys, working on my second Hackintosh project, and just finished the paintjob and visual side of it. Not sure what to call it: I was inspired by sci-fi movies (Aliens (1986) in particular as the attentive reader might notice). Perhaps simply "BauerCorp Mod" or similar. Anywho, this is the...

Anyone?

Hey D-One, IMO it´s a jungle out there, and I´m also searching for answers to this question, because it really depends a LOT on exactly what kind of video editing you´re doing. The only conclusion I have come to this far, is that the i7 8700K seems to be an affordable and very fast CPU for...

Hi, I´m currently researching to find the right parts for my Video editing machine update. I want to build a machine that´s both fast and will work for the next 3-4 years without major updates, and most importantly: will give a significant performance boost over my current setup. However, the...

OK, so far I´ve decided to go for this setup. Please let me know if any of you think this will work or create (m)any issues. Also: Which CPU fan is better for the 8700K? (Not interested in water cooling) • Intel i7 8700K • CPU fan: Considering the Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 3 or just Dark Rock 3...

Yeah, the 8700K was off my radar, but now it´s definitely on it :) Only downside to upgrading CPU is the fact that I seem to be forced to also change MB and RAM (the 7700 and 8700 don´t work on my current MB AFAIK), so it´s either a full upgrade or nothing at all. But the 8700K looks like an...

Hey @feartech Thanks! I was just researching some more, and actually came to the same conclusion/question. As far as I can tell, the DDR3/DDR4 RAM difference will be negligible, and the 4770K > 7700K CPU upgrade will yield a 5-10% boost at best. [CORRECTION:] I just checked Userbenchmark.com...
