”Your CPU has failed and needs to be replaced,,, Seems like this is a real good thing? Yes?

Sounds strange that you have had BOTH the GPU & CPU fail in the same system... I hope they gave you a quality power supply otherwise you will have more issues in the future...

That said, the 10900X is faster than the 9820x which is no longer available... Around here the 10900X sells for $470 USD at MicroCenter so it's good you're not having to pay that out-of-pocket...

I've built all of my own Vegas workstations for the past 20 years & have never had a GPU or CPU fail so having both go in the SAME system is suspicious of something else, like a bad power supply, bad motherboard, or just a sloppy build... They have totally treated you right by taking care of everything, but that's just highly unusual to have 2 back-to-back failures in ONE system...

@TheRhino,:

Thanks for your concern.

Indeed it is strange and has also said to me. Could be that with the new GPU their Stress Test pushed the CPU over the edge? PSU is a 1kw Corsair, so plenty of oomph and headroom. Going forward I do get further cover on all replaced parts.

@Grazie Well, thats the GPU 3000 series analysis vs 2000 series out the window, too many variables now with a new cpu. That is, the one for one comparison is gone.

@JN- 😂 I’ll do them anyway.

@Grazie Looking forward to them.

@JN- Yeah, just want it back now. Lockdown and no MONSTA! really sucks.

Oh yeah, I had my COVID19 Inoculation today. I hope THAT won’t fail too?

@Grazie Indeed, sure enough, I heard that they are giving it to the 90+ year olds first, congrats.🤣

You heard correctly, and you remembered too! 😉

Huh, that's a quality power supply, and stress-testing the CPU & GPU won't break them because most stuff these days just throttles down before it breaks...

Oh yeah, I had my COVID19 Inoculation today. I hope THAT won’t fail too?

In addition to doing part-time video editing I am a teacher in the US and get my vaccination Saturday morning... I hope it doesn't make me too tired because I've got some editing jobs to finish Saturday...

@TheRhino - I had mine at 10am today. By 4pm I was a little woozy, like having a mild hangover, without the fun part 😜. But now, 12 hours on, I’m fine 🙂. It’ll be different for different people AND the vaccine you’ve been given. Our NHS has been enormous with the response to all of this. As testament to our experiences back in March and April last year, I’m proud to be part of the Nation that created the NHS.

Now! Where’s my MONSTA! ?

Morning Report: Don’t hold your breath.

1 MoBo Replaced

2 PSU Replaced

3 CPU Second Replacement

I’m taking up pressing leaves or basket weaving...

@Grazie  ... I hope its not basket weaving like in "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!" (a 1966 one-hit wonder novelty song by Napoleon XIV).

This sounds like a cursed build... some kind of power issue that destroyed much of the system? Yikes. Well, you'll be getting a new computer out of it it looks like.

@RogerS - I know! Spoke with Mission Control this morning. All the new parts are in and going on a “Stress Test”? Whatever that entails? I know, I sure need one 😂!

And now............. RAM has become suspect or rather a setting. 😳 No worries Maties, I’ve become philosophical about it all. The gentleman who’s dealing with me, says, “Think of it this way, you’re getting a new PC with the latest MoBo, GPU and CPU! And a new PSU as well.”

......anyway, “And now for something completely different”. Last night, Mrs G made this Mediterranean Vegetable Pie:

Now! Where’s my MONSTA! ?

I would not longer call it MONSTA but Monstrosity...😁

I have also my doubts about the professionalism of your Monsta builder but no doubts about the professionalism of your wife's cooking, looks great and tasty...😋

I got my BEAST yesterday, an i910900k with a RTX2080s.

I would not longer call it MONSTA but Monstrosity...😁

@3POINT - Harsh! Nah, I’ll still call it my MONSTA! just the GPU has got THREE Fans. I’ve past on your appreciation of the Pie. Yum! 😋

I got my BEAST yesterday, an i910900k with a RTX2080s.

@3POINT - Wow! Looking forward to see your results with the 2080s! The i9 Should be Smokin’!

I got my BEAST yesterday, an i910900k with a RTX2080s.

@3POINT You need to run the Vegas benchmark tests... Many of us are interested how the 10900K with 10-cores compares to our 9900K with 8-cores... Some of the fastest results are from our 9990K's running a VEGA 64 or better and a 2080 or better... Here's a link to Red Car benchmarks for Vegas: Benchmarks

@Grazie Glad your builders stood behind their warranty... In 30 years of building my own high-end editing workstations, entire computer labs for schools & small offices, etc. I've never had a GPU, CPU, motherboard, and power supply all fail in one system... That's crazy!

I have actually built most of my own stuff using open box returns, etc. to save as much as possible & occasionally had to return stuff that didn't work... However, I always buy NEW power supplies, break them in on an old test system, check the voltages with a good meter, and give 'em a good smell test... I was building PC's during the "capacitor plague" (early 2000's) so I learned to check 'em...

@TheRhino I downloaded benchmark test Red Car and opened it in Vpro18. I got following render timings with Magix AVC 1080p29,97 0:46, with AVC 1080p29,97 NVENC 0:17 and with AVC 1080p29,97 QSV 0:14.

Anything else you need to know?
