New build for 4K cameras. i9-9900K?

Hey @Ion Barker , make sure you get at least two sticks of RAM and install it correctly for dual channel operation. It makes a big difference. You could also get faster RAM and it should measurably reduce CPU usage for Blue Iris. At least that was my experience with AMD. DDR4-3600 is not usually much more expensive.

Thanks guys! I think I am going to order up my parts today!

i9-9900K
GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS Elite
EVGA G3 Gold 650w PSU
Corsair 240mm closed loop cooling
MX-4 thermal paste for CPU to Cooler
16GB Hyper-X Fury RAM DDR4-3000
1TB Intel M2
GTX1050 Ti 4gb
Thermaltake V71 full tower case
Win 10 pro
Blue iris 5

(I have my WD 6TB purple HDD's)

How are your temps? The 240mm may be too small for a 9900k if is pushed hard. otherwise, awesome setup!

Thanks!

I am running 31 cameras now, CPU at 21% and temps are 38C

CPU and RAM are running at regular speeds, nothing is overclocked.

@Ion Barker you should enable the "XMP Profile" for your RAM at least, if you have not. It is a step easily overlooked, and if you don't do it then your RAM will run at much slower than advertised speed.

Just keep an eye on your temperatures, because a CLC liquid cooler can fail more easily than an air cooler. If you do have one fail, would recommend you look at a Noctua air cooler as they CAN outperform most CLC coolers
(this test was done with AMD TR4 tho:
)

and you just have 2 fans to worry about failing not a pump or liquid to gunk up the insides
().

Saying all that I do prefer liquid cooling on my gaming rig, but I don't run it 24x7 in a closet. That's just the enthusiast in me. Hopefully you don't face any problems with your liquid cooler over the long term. Thankfully, modern CPU will throttle and even shutdown if cooling stops working properly.
