Do I need any other hardware other than the CPU?Ī. You should find everything you need there. HP have created an excellent range of video guides covering almost every possible type of workstation repair or upgrade. (Note: Link may not display correctly in Firefox, use IE) It plays back 4K video flawlessly but I haven't tried editing 4K yet. Mainly use my setup for Cubase, SolidWorks, Maya, Premier Pro, etc. My personal workstation is a HP Z620, 2x E5-2690(v1), 96GB PC3-14900R, Quadro K4200 + Tesla M2090, Samsung SM951 256GB M.2 PCIe (boot drive), 480GB Sandisk Ultra II, 2TB + 4TB HDD. I also discovered that memory speed is also influenced by the CPU speed, and number of CPU's Not that they are bad, but your system will only be as fast as the slowest component.Better to ensure it's 1600MHz up front. Be wary of systems on ebay with 1066 or 1333MHz memory installed. Also, the V1 processors have a maximum 1600MHz memory bus, whereas the V2 processors have a maximum 1866MHz memory bus.
NVIDIA QUADRO K5200 UPGRADE
Motherboards with a boot block date of or newer support both the V1 and V2 xeon processors, (in case you want to upgrade later), the earlier motherboard version only supports the V1 xeon processors. The 'boot block date' listed on the BIOS is different and can't be updated. There are 'two variants' of the Z620 which have different motherboards fitted. If you do decide to buy a dual core Z620 instead of the Z820 then just a little heads up. Not all software can take advantage of multiple CPU’s, and even fewer packages can take advantage of multiple GPU’s, Avid being a prime example. Well worth spending a good hour or so reading the system requirements to save you a lot of grief or unnecessary expense.
NVIDIA QUADRO K5200 PRO
What works for Premier Pro or Avid may be completely unsuitable for Da Vinci. Do you plan on editing 4K video, etc.? Most high-end video software I have come across require very specific configurations to work smoothly. but were unsuitable for the owners primary use.
Unfortunately, I know of quite a few people who have built 'mega' computers with impressive specifications. Hopefully you will have read the minimum system specifications for Da Vinci already otherwise I would strongly recommend to check them out before buying more hardware.
