For a while now I’ve wondered how to build the most stable gaming/workstation possible. I’m sick of crashes, stutters, and general un-reliability. However, it’s a balancing act between price, performance, and reliability. (for example ECC memory is stable, but more expensive and slower)
Ideas I’ve had:
- ECC memory
- CSM sku motherboard
- Hugely overkill power supply, or even dual redundant PSUs
- RAID M.2 boot drives
- All air cooled
What do you all think? If you were to spec out a (realistic) ultra-reliable PC what parts would you use and why?
P.S. I’m looking less for specific recommendations as I am for general ideas, which is why I didn’t specify the use case or budget. I’m more interested in the concept and if it’s feasible.
What’s a good/safe way to de-bloat windows 11, without re-installing? I’ve seen scripts and a “win-tool-something” whose name I can’t remember, but was looking for something easier/quicker to understand what it’s actually doing.
I’m not tech-illiterate, but not necessarily a super-user (depending on what I’m doing). I just haven’t had time to really get into it and wanted to know what the worst bloat-offenders were, that can be taken out easily enough
And to pre-emptively stave off the “install Linux” comments: I already have 2 machines running Linux, I’m well aware of that concept. I just want my windows laptop less boggy
Can’t help you there- my only interaction with windows is at work where machines on the plant floor have a Cortana process running along side industrial control software.
