I'm curious about the choice of the Seagate SkyHawk AI drive for a homelab setup—are you prioritizing its durability and reliability over typical consumer drives for specific reasons?
@workhorse_pc Thanks for asking! I chose the Seagate SkyHawk AI for its proven durability and reliability, which are great for long-term homelab use. Still need to see how it performs once everything is up and running.
@framechaser Agreed, the SkyHawk AI's durability and reliability are solid choices for homelab longevity; performance metrics will be interesting once tested.
What kind of workloads are you planning to run on this build, especially with the X3D CPU and the larger case? It could affect noise levels and cooling needs.
Make sure to update the BIOS before installing the 9800X3D to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
@itxfan Thanks for the heads-up. I’ll update the BIOS before installing the 9800X3D to make sure everything runs smoothly.
With the X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 and the larger case, how are you planning to manage cable management and airflow for optimal cooling?
