My new computer

[Cariboou]

Hi,



for my new computer that still under assembly will be done with this component:



Case: Crucial 5000D (New)

Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix Z690-E (New)

Processor: Intel 13900KS (New)

Graphics Card: ASUS RTS 4070 Ti OC (New)

Drive C: Samsung 980 PRO 2TB NVMe – Programs (New)

Drive D: Samsung 980 PRO 2TB NVMe – Data (New)

Drive E: SSD Samsung 1TB (Old and filled with programs that will transfer to Drive C)

Drive F: HDD WD 2TB (Old and now filled with data)

Drive G: HDD Segate 3TB (Old and filled with 70.000 Pictures)

Drive E: HDD WD 8TB (New)



Now from my old computer HP Z600 (that working perfectly) under Windows 10 Pro and that one time install in my new computer will be update to Windows 11 end from the expert here think it's better to install everything, downloaded programs under Windows 10 and then upgrade to Windows 11 or not? I know I start to talk about this new beast 1 year ago but like we understand this is been very expensive, and I don’t win a lottery. Any help it is Welcome.



Cheers

Congratulations on a new computer! I did the same myself during the Winter using the 13700K processor. I am very happy with my build.

IMHO, I would do a fresh install of Windows 11 and all of your apps/programs. Why start with all new equipment only to potentially slow it down with excess files and registries and maybe out of date programs and drivers?

I ended up making a list of all the programs I was using on my old machine, installed a fresh copy of Windows 11, then downloaded the current versions of all the software, checking them off the list.

I don't know what your experience is with building PCs or playing around in the bios, but you probably are aware that these processors run hot. I ended up having to learn to undervolt and play with the power limits (PL1, PL2) to get the temps down to where they were not hitting a thermal limit. I ended up using a DeepCool AK620 Cooler as I wanted to stay away from a liquid cooler. My machine is stable and quiet, although with a small sacrifice in the "fastest benchmark scores", which I am fine with.

Good luck,
Michael

Congratulations on a new computer! I did the same myself during the Winter using the 13700K processor. I am very happy with my build.

I recently built a new machine, and decided that a i5-13600K would be more than adequate and be easier to keep cool and quiet than a top-of-the-line i9 chip.

IMHO, I would do a fresh install of Windows 11 and all of your apps/programs. Why start with all new equipment only to potentially slow it down with excess files and registries and maybe out of date programs and drivers?

Agreed, a new build is a good time for a clean install.

I ended up making a list of all the programs I was using on my old machine, installed a fresh copy of Windows 11, then downloaded the current versions of all the software, checking them off the list.

I don't know what your experience is with building PCs or playing around in the bios, but you probably are aware that these processors run hot. I ended up having to learn to undervolt and play with the power limits (PL1, PL2) to get the temps down to where they were not hitting a thermal limit.

Not having to tweak those settings was one reason I chose a lesser CPU and a AIO cooler.

I ended up using a DeepCool AK620 Cooler as I wanted to stay away from a liquid cooler. My machine is stable and quiet, although with a small sacrifice in the "fastest benchmark scores", which I am fine with.

Yes, stability and quiet are high on my priorities list; even the modest versions of the newer CPUs are plenty fast enough for most needs. Trying to have the fastest machine around usually means a never-ending process of frequently replacing old components with new ones; some people enjoy that, but I'm too lazy.

I have also just built a new computer 13600K more than fast enough for me, fresh install of win11 and reinstalled my programmes. Good luck keeping your 13900KS cool. Ken
