May 24, 20251 yr I have been a Jetline Systems customer for 16 years. I have had 4 computers built by them and I've only had wonderful experiences with each and every one of them. This is now being built for me this week and I should have it next week.

May 25, 20251 yr No doubt an impressive machine. I'll be blunt, however: some of that is overkill. If you're mainly using this for gaming and flightsimming, then you'll never need anywhere near 96GB of RAM, and you likely don't need a liquid cooling system unless you plan to do some hardcore overclocking.

May 25, 20251 yr Hmmm, honestly, I don't want to sound dramatic but there's something wrong with that configuration. Since I know you and we've been friends for so long, I don't mind checking it for you! Will send you my home address through PM and you can send it to me for testing. If I see something is really wrong with it, don't bother, i'll keep it anyway and you just have to pay me a beer if you ever come visit Portugal! Don't have to say "thanks" @spilok... Friends are friends!!! 😜 Edited May 25, 20251 yr by jcomm Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)

Dave Here's the system I've had for four years from Jetline. It worked flawlessly, and it too had liquid cooling. Just had the itch to upgrade to something faster. Flight Simming is my hobby, and I do it every day. Looking forward to much more "fluidity" and space. I have to admit that the Nvidia GTX 1080Ti is a remarkable card, and has never let me down. It has, however, run out of memory during some intensive MSFS flights. My current system will be donated to Boys and Girls Club, and I'm sure it will be put to good use.

May 25, 20251 yr Hell of a system and its going to be sick. Can I ask Why you need 3 storage solutions, one being only 1 TB? I would maybe suggest going to 2 and upgrading one of them to 4TB. Also agree with others above, you don't need more than 64gb Rams. Also I would argue not going intel and go 9xxxX3d instead but that isn't really an option with Jetline. - Gaumond

Also I would argue not going intel and go 9xxxX3d instead but that isn't really an option with Jetline. Will use one 2Tb drive for MSFS and Windows programs (C drive), one 2Tb drive for P3d, and the 1TB drive is just for extra things like P3d downloads I wish to keep, Scenery downloads I wish to keep, etc. etc. I could easily call and upgrade that drive to a 2 Tb before they ship, but I thought 1 TB just for incidentals would be enough. I may just call tomorrow and take your implied suggestion on that. Jetline suggested that the drive holding MSFS would be logically the one for Windows and programs, since it's pretty much an online sim. P3d would have its own drive because I really do have quite a few sceneries and planes for that sim.
May 26, 20251 yr This seems like a poor choice to me honestly especially when the 9800x3d outperforms the core ultra's by quite a margin. --Sean Hart

It's not the best solution to use a RAID, since 1 SSD makes trouble sometimes and the RAID is not detected and fails. But I never have data loss and also use backup software regularely. Long story short, 2 TB can be filled easily. Maybe better go for a 4 TB SSD for the sim and addons if you still add more addons to your system. If you no longer buy addons, then ok, 2 TB is enough then. 1 TB for OS is sufficient, if you keep programs out on another drive. I have older 1 TB SATA SSDs for this taken from my old system. OS=WIN11 Home, Sim=P3D5 5.3 (P3D4 and FSX for install reasons) Addons=ORBX, ASCA, AS, TOGA and tons of sceneries, aircraft MB=Gigabyte AORUS Z790 Elite AX, CPU=i13900K, Cooling=Be quiet!

My P3D is a little over 200 GB now. I certainly would think that 2 TB would be more than enough for that sim. Edited May 26, 20251 yr by spilok

I meant my P3D is now over 3 TB (not GB). Well with 200 GB your pretty small then. I spent so much the last 5 years for sceneries and aircraft. But now it comes to an end, since all I ever wanted to have is now on my drive.

Does P3d load EXTREMELY SLOWLY because of its size? Mine (on my soon to be replaced computer) takes at least 4-5 minutes now with 200+GB.

Certainly the use of MV2 SSD changed a lot and also that i changed a lot of addons back to scenery.cfg from addon.xml. I only kept those on addon.xml which have different items, like effects, sounds etc. and commercial products who install with this.
