If you don't need the extra space for dual or triple gpu-s, storage or any pcie expansion cards i think you can and probably should go with the Define 7. If space and size is a consideration it works better. The Defina 7 xl is deffinetly a "big boy" case.  Its huge for an atx case to be honest :) So yeah, the Define 7 is  great silence focused case for a cpu focused atx build :)

- For the RAM I would go with 2x32GB stick just to be future proof but i'm not sure about what are the advantages of dual channel mode regarding our work.

- The Fractal Desing Define 7 XL is a way newer case,  and in my opinion is a bit better if you want to have a closed top side and few more included fans and generaly a bit easier to service and configure to your needs when building something a bit more special. It also has usb C on the front panel. I think nowdays the 4 quarter inch bays of the xl r2 are not that usefull in a build like this, and I also prefer that the intake filters are not mounted to the fans. All in all I really like that the D 7 XL is really "modular" and you can put a ton of fans in it. I think i will use it for a really long time.

-  but i have to keep in mind it cost 25% more, but i think its worth it.

[Max] General Discussion / Re: REBUS RenderFarm

i'm having the same issue!

I rendered a bunch of images with rebusfarm and i had a few minor things to fix so i started doing render reagions on m local machine and composit them later in photoshop. When I opened the up i reallized that the images loked totally different!

I was wondering if this was an issue with the region rendering feature? or with the file format?

I wanted to place an order for one 3080 or 3090 but the 3 suppliers i contacted both told me that the best they can do is set up an email notification if a 3080 or a 3090 becomes available. They also told me that every few day there are 1-2 cards available for the maximum on 1 hour...so if i get an email i should by instantly... this is a bit crazy :)

This build is for a more  "all-rounder" workstation. We use 3ds and c4d for most production, but a lot of after effects, premier etc and a ton of simulations as well. we're planing to implement redshift too, so thats why we need a buckload of GPU power :) Most of the AE plugins a C4d plugins benefit from GPU power (sadly mostly cuda).

Thank you Tom and Juraj!

Great news! I heard similar news about the be quiet cases (although i love their products). They came up with a new contender for the case.
The Phanteks Eclipse P600S Silent looks like it could solve the airflow problems as it seems like it has better airflow than the r7 xl, even is its a bit smaller(?) case. Do you guys have any experience with it? i can't really find any threadripper build reviews that are reputable.

The vendor - whom i'm talking to at the moment - will do the final assembly and testing, because i don't really feel comfortable assembling a computer this expensive :)

We will be needing this computer in 7-8 working days as a new colleague arrived yesterday :) Thats why i went for the 2080ti-s as they are more available but i will as if they could supply one 3080. AS time is of the essence for this build alternatively I would rather have one rtx 2080 ti now and add a 3080 as it becomes available.

To be honest i didn't ask them for one as i was already worried about how the 3000-s series cards extra power consumption translates to heat inside the case. I probably won't be able to lay my hands on a 3080 FE in the next few days.

Sounds like they are just trying to sell you stuff that's more expensive (just my opinion). Let's see what people say though. The only part I'm aware of is that water cooling is not needed, and not a good idea. While I only have a 3960X here, the Noctua is exactly what I got for myself based on research, and afaik it should be great for the 3970X too. The rest I don't know about, but if you have done your research and seen lots of reviews, feedback, people commenting on their builds, etc. I would trust that, e.g. if that GPU had cooling problems I'm sure there would be lots of reports about that, and if you aren't seeing those reports, then it doesn't have cooling problems.

As far as i know the 3960x is a bit more toastier than the 3970x so the noctua should be good even for longer (i.e. 10-15 hour rendering sessions). The office space has great temps and if i would start a longer render i would deffinetly open the case front and maybe even remove the dust filter.

to be honest I' really dont want liquid cooling. There is a 28 core mac pro right next to me and the lacie big 40 tb external storage unit is way loader. And that thing is air cooled... :(

Hello guys!

I'm looking to order a 3970x workstation in the office and the vendor i contacted had some notes on the choosen parts, but i'm not sure if they are right with their claims...

Cpu cooler, they said that the noctua u14s with and additional fan is not sufficient for cooling the 3970x but eveyrone on the internet said otherwise :) They offered a fractal design celsius+ s36 aio but i'm not a fan of those becausethere is no good aio for the trx40 ihs as far as i know and i'm still afaraid of leaking.... the system will have 2 2080ti-s and as far as i know the coolers warranty doesn't cover the damages cased to other system parts :)

case i really want a quiet case that can have good enough airflow so i went for the new fractal design define 7 XL but they said that the be quiet silent base 601 would be better. Even if we change the define 7 xl-s top to the perforated version. i find this a bit unlikely but again i'm no expert..... but i've done a bunch of research. and EposVox also usesee this case with a similar setup. and i really need usb c gen 2 support on the front of the case.

GPU asus turbo 2080ti x2 with the blower style fans. They told me that the cooling for these is not sfficent but i've seen a ton of build for redshift and octane with these cards. And they are better for case temps because of the blower stly cooling.

I really want a quiet, black, window -and rgb-less case just like the ones puget systems is shipping but with local support (hungary)

hat do you guys think? Am i being unrealistic with this setup? anyone has some experience with the case or can someone recommend a quiet enough case with comparable airflow (eighter with fans or opening the case door is necessary)?

I usually work with the node editor when creating materials, and it would be great if i didn't have to allways go through the whole menu system to add a corona AO or bitmap shader to the editor. It would be great to be able to create shorcuts to these often used "nodes"

corona node materials editor is amazing, dare i say on par with the one in 3ds max. I'am so sad that i cant edit my corona materials there.

I recently had a project where i had to place a ton of recessed ceiling and wall lights in a modell, but i din't really want to modify the existing modell as the lights might change in the future.
I realized i can all do this with the corona distance map a helper object and corona scatter. I thought it was a great idea and i was banging my head against the wall because why i haven't tought about this earlier????!!!!

First i made a distribution spline for my 3 corona scatter elements. The first one was for the lamp geometry. The second was my helper object for "cutting the hole" and the third was a corona light. Each element int their separate CSatter element with the same settings. If i wanted to get real fancy i could ad a few extra elements to boolean the recessed parts.
https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=13210.0
I connected the distance map to the opacity channel of the walls material and set the inside color to white and then picked up the corona scatter element and everything was ready.

Because of this setup i could adjust the lights properties and most importantantly introduce a slight variation in shape, direction, and light with a corona multimap conected to the light.

I was really happy with my discovery so i wanted to share it. :-) Hope i could help a few people with this tip.
 
After some research i discovered Hrvoje Čops blog post about all the other usefull things. https://chopmeister.xyz/2017/10/going-the-distance.html

Is there any solution for this problem? i just recently encoutered this and its really frustrating :-(
