OS: Fedora 30 (Linux) + Windows 10 for those times when I need to do Thrive stuff on it
CPU: i9-7900X
GPU: GTX 1080 Ti
RAM: 112 GiB DDR4
Disk: 40TB, half reserved for backups. Mostly spinning disks, but I also have a few terabytes of SSD for installing program and OSes.
Why tf do you have 112 GiB of RAM and 40 TB HDD? What kind of work do you even do that requires that? Creating a simulation of the entire damn universe or something?
I use both firefox and chrome. That already takes around 20 GiB. And then a bunch of clang autocomplete servers taking a few GB at a time and a bunch of open programs, it adds up quite fast. I’m currently using just 28.9 GiB of RAM, but I usually go up to around 36 GiB of used RAM when I’m not forced to restart my computer for some time.
I didn’t buy all my RAM or hard drives at once, I’ve been adding to them over the years. It helps to having a motherboard with 4 channel memory and a lot of memory slots to go with it, so I can use 3 sets of RAM.
But can you CPU even handle that? Those background programs don’t take up a whole lot of processing power, but I would assume it would add up to quite a lot if you have near 40 GiB of programs piled up.
So far it has handled just fine. Most of the background tasks don’t consume a lot of CPU. It also helps that my CPU is a 10 core 20 thread one. Right now most of my cores are idling between 1.3-2.0 GHz, whereas the maximum turbo frequency is 4.2 GHz on most cores, with one core overclocked up to 4.5 GHz. There isn’t really any noticeable slow downs unless I’m compiling software with a bunch of cores at once.
Yeah alright fair. I have to say though, I feel insufficient right now with my weakling computer, even though it’s still pretty high-rank. (16 GiB RAM, RTX 2060, i7 9750, 1TB HDD and 256 GB SSD)
Why tf do you have a gaming setup with 6,5 TB of memory, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, and a 500W PSU, but a a ryzen 3 1200 with an MSI RX 560 GPU? That’s ridiculously strong for basically everything, except for the most important 2 things in the PC for gaming (GPU and CPU), who are below potato quality.
