what is the one tool that every NUMBER_TOKENd artist literally can't create without computers and not just any old computer no because NUMBER_TOKENd art calls for some high-end system requirements if you slap bottom of the barrel parts onto your rig you're going to get bottom of the barrel results think about it just like we continually seek to understand and master our various softwares i think it's equally important to understand the hardware that makes all of this stuff possible so this video is for every eager artist and even soon to be artists out there looking to step up their hobby or even career with a deeper understanding of how these things work we'll be able to build buy or upgrade a rig with confidence now i just had this incredible workstation sent to me by puget so be sure to stick around to the end to figure out how they can put together your dream rig just for you did you know there are eight main components you'll need for your NUMBER_TOKENd workstation and this little thing right here is the head chef it's called a processor or a cpu every single task on your pc is sent through your cpu now cpus they have cores and threads that determine how many workers the head chef has to help with these tasks and the clock speed determines how fast those workers are but more on the details of all these parts later sticking with the kitchen metaphor all the people and appliances in our kitchen are grounded to the floor or the motherboard the motherboard simply acts as a central hub for every single piece of hardware on your computer to either connect to buy power cables or direct connection now since our head chef the cpu is running like NUMBER_TOKEN billion laps a second he's going to work up a little sweat and that's what these bad boys are for they're cpu coolers it's going to cool off your cpu on tough days when you're rendering simulating or just crunching numbers it's literally your head chef's personal air conditioning assistant now we got ram ram or random access memory is another piece of hardware that directly connects to the motherboard and it's essentially your easy to access inventory slots ram temporarily stores the data you're using close by to keep your work efficient the more ram you have the more inventory slots you have and if you don't have enough ram you'll essentially have to discard useful items or data in order to make room for the next most important thing also keep in mind that this is temporary storage when you restart your pc this cache will be wiped so storage is the opposite it also stores files but takes a bit longer to access them when i say longer i mean maybe a handful of seconds depending on which drive you're using so there are three types of storage drives the first and slowest is your standard hard drive they rely on moving parts solid state drives are a bit faster they have no moving parts but the nvme drives now those connect directly to your motherboard and are the fastest choice for file storage also the most expensive your storage drives are basically the drawers cabinets and shelves in the kitchen versus counter space which is kind of like ram that makes grabbing tools instant next up we have the power supply now the power supply is what provides electricity to all the parts inside our computer without the power supply you have a chunky paperweight yeah you already know what this looks like it's a gp it's a graphics card all right it might be one of
START_SPONSOR_TOKEN now i just had this incredible workstation sent to me by puget so be sure to stick around to the end to figure out how they can put together your dream rig just for you did END_SPONSOR_TOKEN
