Non K is this because of power consumption or another factor?

There a bit cursed but erying on AliExpress sells laptop chips solderd onto desktop motherboards some of their 11th generation engineering sample chips are of good value and have modern single core performance.

Alternatively you can get very high core count xeons which offer great multithread performance at low price although lack in single core. There is a 2690 v4 14 cores 28 threads on a motherboard with 16 GB of ram for 94 USD+ tax and shipping.

Although depending on the benchmark the 2690 v4 doesn’t even look good in multi core

For Purley gaming if things where tight I might consider the 13700k although for blender those extra 4 ecores will make a large difference so 14700k all the way.

14900/17400k review with 13700k data includes blender https://youtu.be/0oALfgsyOg4?si=VMemv0QvILwmIuN7

As for ram I don’t think blender cares that much as long as there is enough, for gaming 5200 MHz is the bare minimum for some reason intel falls of a ton with 4800.

7200 cl34 sure it’s faster but your burning money get the i9 and a cheaper kit at this point

6000 cl30 and 5600 cl28 are really good

5600 cl36 isn’t on the chart but I’m guessing it’s good enough and it’s affordable in my area

5200 cl38 bare minimum

Worse than this drop down to the 13700k

ESD exists and it’s not a good idea to try and create it, if you’re concerned buying a esd wrist strap is a good idea although personaly I don’t have one.

I didn’t know about it and did a pc build with a friend wearing socks on carpet with no grounding and the pc didn’t fail for 5 years and was upgraded before it had a chance to…

Here is a video of Linus trying to kill a pc with static, he explains the multiple types of faults and various other information https://youtu.be/nXkgbmr3dRA?si=GVmSQuxGs00E2f2o

I almost got an a750 on sale but then it’s price jumped up to about the same as an Rx 7600 locally so I went with that for my mini pc.

The a750 is a great card if it’s at a good price absolutely obliterates the rtx 3050 and 3060 8gb and is often cheaper. Although AMD has some really competitive offers at that price point like the one I got

Not officially as it’s 3000 series and newer but there is probably a way to get it too work.

Your likely not messing out on much with the exception of intel arc GPUs the performance difference is on a case by case basis sometimes better sometimes worse with nivida GPUs on AVG being worse with in on and AMD being hit or miss maybe good.

Smart access memory on AMD 3% better on AVG across 36 games https://youtu.be/GS3oY3LVKvU?si=dqFHQv4RVUv3E_Vt

H150I aio it’s a 360mm Corsair aio

I don’t think it’s the problem the CPU is pulling 312 watts of power so it can cool 312 watts
