Premiere

Got a call from a friend on Saturday asking me to build him a video editing computer real quick; here's what I had by Sunday:
  • Ryzen 9 3900X
  • Gigabyte X570 UD
  • 2x16GB PC4-25600 (dual channel)
  • 500GB PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe M.2 (system drive)
  • 512GB SATA III SSD (scratch/cache drive)
  • 2x Blackmagic Design DeckLink Duo 2
  • Seasonic SSR-650FM
  • Fractal Design Meshify C
Threw-in my Radeon HD 5450, but recommended he look for an RTX 2060 SUPER down the road, and maybe another 32GB of RAM if he starts working in 8K.

What really got me was how friggin' fast Windows 10 installed on this thing! Like, it only took a few minutes! Also, setting ultra fast boot + Windows fast startup gets it going in a few seconds.

Also, AMD's Wraith Prism Cooler having RGB enabled by default is annoying... You have to manage another cable, take-up a USB header on the motherboard, and install Cooler Master software to turn it off 😒
