Ok I swapped the 970 pro out for a 950 evo which is fine. RAM is swapped out for 2666 stuff not 3200 as the board only supports 2666 without OC and I'm not faffing with that. It's fine for my needs. There's 16Mb of CPU cache which is most important and 5x what this box has in it.
Ordered. Bang goes 750 smackers

. I may rejig some test gear to offset this cash wise as it's a personal not business purchase.
Plan. Thanks ![ThumbsUp :-+](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/icon_smile_thumbsup.gif)

I can say it's two orders of magnitude worse than FreeCAD. That's my only metric at the moment ![Smiley :)](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
Which Intel SSDs were those specifically?
Can't remember which units they were. ~1 year ago we had some fail 6 months into service. Once bitten twice shy.
