CLA1836 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Hi everyone, My old computer gave up the ghost in mid -March ( Covid -19 ???) so after a suitable time for grieving, and working out the finances, I now have a new rig set up and apparently working OK. All I have to do now is to set up my Sims and take to the skies again. Great to be back on the Forum. Cheers to all. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLA1836 Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Hi All, Thanks for the encouragement - I have not built a new computer since 2013 and how things have changed ! My old system was based on an ITX motherboard in a Bitfenix Prodigy case, so I decided to give my old hands ( & Brain ) a bit more room to work in. However, I did like the horizontal m/board and so I went for a Thermaltake Core V21 case this time. The rest of my specs are :- Motherboard MSI B450 Mortar Max CPU AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF RAM 16Gb G Skill Flare-X 3200 Cooling Noctua NH-U12S * Graphics MSI NVidia GTX 1060 6Gb * Storage Samsung 870 EVO Plus 500Gb NvMe Samsung 860 QVO 2 Tb SSD * Samsung 850 EVO 1 Tb SSD W/Digital Velociraptor 1 Tb HDD (10,000 rpm) * NB: Items with * were from my old setup and I replaced the stock front fan on the V21 case with a Noctua NF-A20 ( 200mm PWM Fan for improved air flow capacity ). I know that I am taking a chance on the CPU at AUD185, but if it does not perform with X-Plane I have the opportunity to upgrade to a 3600. Also, I was on a limited budget from my Supervisor Cheers, Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
