PC build for CS5 Production Premium

Hello everyone. Ron here from Toronto Canada.
I'm a serious hobbyist leaning more towards video and flash production, attempting to put together a PC for CS5 Production Premium.
I've gone through this forum recently (a few times, actually - great info - thanks guys) and have put together what I think I want, as I'm not a hardware techie.
I'm looking to see if I'm going on overkill, or if there are any finer details I may have missed in putting together these hardware components.
Ex: Motherboard fits in case; CPU Cooler doesn't block RAM slots; GPU good enough - SuperClocked worth the price; Overclocking issues; Good Blu-Ray burner; Hardware alternatives; etc...
Your thoughts and suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks again.

Thanks Harm. Phew!! What a relief.
My next step is to order my list through a local computer store rather than online, and have them build it for me for the cost of shipping and me trying to build it myself.
>> I wonder where you can find the F3 Trident 4 G sticks though. A great choice but hard to get I think. I have been looking at that memory as well to upgrade to 24 G.
I got the idea from: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2968126
Which led me to: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231381
This led me to another question. In the reviews section ( http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16820231359 ) there's mention of the price for the 6x4 sticks being a marketing trick, where its cheaper to buy 2x (3x4) sticks. Yet one reply to that, mentions the price difference is because the 6x4 sticks are all made to work together. I also read somewhere that its better to get the 6 pack because they're all manufactured on the same line. Any thoughts?
>> If anything critical, consider more disks and a separate hardware controller for the RE4's. Not absolutely necessary, but desirable.
I thought about this already from previous discussions. Thanks for mentioning it, however. Greatly appreciated. In my case, this will be a future consideration.
Thanks for the fast response, Harm.
And many thanks to the other contributors for your time and wealth of information.

  • Hardware Build for CS6 Production Premium

    First: Thank you for all of the information in this forum. I've done a bunch of reading and there is lots of good information about a many issues.
    Second: I am looking for advice on a build for CS6 Production Premium. I don't want top of the line, but a decent midgrade setup. I've done a bunch of reading and I think that I have a reasonable system, but would appreciate some advice. The last time I built a computer was the 1990s when we still had to set DMA and IRQ channels, so I'm a bit rusty.
    Case: Cooler Master Cosmos II Ultra Tower RC-1200-KKN1
    Motherboard: Asus Z9PE-D8 WS Dual LGA 2011 Intel C602
    Two - Intel Xeon E5-2630 V2 Ivy Bridge 2.6GHz six core processors.
    Two - Intel STS200C CPU heat sinks.
    240 Pin 1600 MHz DDR 3 RAM. 16 GB adequate or 32 GB for a good balance on this system? (Don't really want to goto 64GB, but will if necessary.) Is it better to fill all 8 slots on the mother board or better to have more GB per card and run with 4 empty slots on the mother board?
    Crucial M4 256GB SSD SATA boot disk CT256M4SSD2.
    Six: 2 TB 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/S Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 hard drives in a RAID 3 configuration with five drives in service and one in standby. (The SSD plugged into the 6GB/s SATA plug and the six 2TB plugged into the C602 SATA 3GB/S plugs? Nothing plugged into the Marvell SATA plugs?
    The mother board doesn't support RAID 3 and I have no RAID experience, so I'm guessing that I need a dedicated RAID controller for this? If so, is an Areca ARC-1224-8I a good fit, or is there a better choice?

    Two - Dell UltraSharp U2413 24" LED LCD monitors.
    Now the $3 question: Video card(s). Is a single GeForce GTX690 adequate to run the various applications in Production Premium? A GTX Titan? Quadro K4000? I don't really want to go to the Quadro K5000, but will if forced.
    The only software on the computer will be Windows 7, Adobe CS6, and either McAfee or Norton, along with whatever drivers are needed for the systems. I'll stay away from quicktime as it seems to gum up the works according to some advisers on this forum.
    Is there anything that I am missing, hardware wise or installation pointers?
    Thank you for any assistance!

    I am considering a similar build for heavy Photoshop and Lightroom use.  Currently on and older i7-1358 pin 3.0Ghz XEON cpu, I'm considering either a new i7-4930 or dual Xeons as you are. The reason for the Xeons is ability to use ECC memory and add more cores.  This is a production system in daily use so I'd probably not be overclocking.
    Interested in your and others views on this. Previous to my current system, I'v always had dual socket Pentiums, Athalons or Opterons, someof which are still in service but in a reduced roll.
    I typically use fast drives, some SAS, 15K & 10K (SSDs now where it makes sense) and RAID where necessary, especially for SWAP drives in Photoshop along with lots of memory..
    Thanks for any input here.  Basically ECC vs non ECC (I know there is a speed hit with ECC, but really - how much?).  Overclock (i7-4930) or non overclocking (Xeons)
    I should also mention, Culch, that I am considering the same CPUs and MB as you.
    Thanks for reading.

  • Help menus not working for CS5 Production Premium

    I have installed the trial version of CS5 Production Premium on a Windows 7 64-bit PC. I canot get the Help menus to work for any of the applications.
    Is this a limitation of the CS5 trial version?
    I recently purchased Premiere Elements, but I did not deactivate it before installing Windows 7 on my PC. Would this interfere with the help menus for CS5?

    I think the Adobe site was down for maintenance a few days ago. My CS5 Help menus are working fine today.

  • Where can I find the install page for CS5 Production Premium?

    I need to reinstall my copy of CS5 Production Premium. Where can I find the install page for that?

    Check your Adobe account online to see if there is a link to download from there.
    Alternately, you can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • 64 bit version download for CS5 Production Premium

    I am moving my applications from a 4-core PC to a 6-core PC for increased speed.  In so doing, the 6-core will become my second computer with CS5.
    Are the 64 bit versions of CS5 Production Premium not on the CS5 discs and were downloaded automatically later still available?

    I am organizing all the information I need for a transfer of files and programs from my 4-core PC to my 6-core PC so I apologize if my questions sound trivial.   I could tell the 64 bit version from the 32 bit version because the file included (64 bit) at the end of the name.  If this is the case with the download program then that is simple.
    I also have an additional concern regarding download time.  When I tried to download CS5 Production Premium twice on the first 4-core PC, the download quit after a period of time.  This can be a problem with Telco Internet.  I had to order the discs as a result.  I may be lucky with a new Airport Extreme router, due 28th of this month, and the 6-core PC combination.  Do you have transfer using FTP or what do I do if I experience the same problem with my 6-core.  Single programs such as Photoshop would not be a problem.  That is why I asked my original question regarding the download of 64 bit versions that were missing on the discs and sent by download afterwards.

  • Where can I download the template libraries for CS5 Production Premium

    I have recently downloaded CS5 Production Premium but noticed that there are no default template libraries for things like Menu presets in Encore etc.
    Can anyone tell me where I can download this file from, as when I asked Adobe telephone support they couldn't give me a specific address or file name.

    I think you'll get much better answers asking in the particlar forum for the application that you're wanting templates for.  To get to the forum home page where you can choose them look at the "breadcrumbs" near the top of this page.

  • Need some advice on a new build for CS5 Web Premium

    I am looking for a powerful PC that I can use mostly for work and some  light video work.  I have been looking at several systems, but I can't  decide if I should get the Core i7 875K, 950 or AMD 1090T for my needs.   I typically have many Adobe CS5 applications open at once like  Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator and Flash, iTunes, Quickbooks,  Microsoft Work and Excel. I would ideally like to buy a pre-built rig,  but I can surely put together if better.  Below are a few I have been  looking at, but I am unsure about cooling on one of them and about the  875K processor on the other one.  I figured a gaming PC would be fast  and powerful as my needs are behond a standard base config.  I would  like some advice also on a good video card.  Been looking at crossfire  ATI HD 5770, single ATI HD 5870, Radeon 6870, and GeForce GTX 470 and SLI GTX 460. I am not a typical overclocker, but I  can be if it will help performance running apps.  I leave my PC on all  day and night so cooling is a factor.
    Thanks in advance everyone for the advice on this.

    Here is the final config I am looking to get.  I am just debating the hard drive config and video cards.  I want to be sure my video card will use teh GPU Accelleration and Advance features of Photoshop CS5.  Do you know if the NVIDIA GTX 460 is compatable or should I spend more for the 470?  I will not be gaming much and this pc is used mostly for work on CS5 Web Premium.  How does this all look?  All prices from NewEgg. I have another machine I will backup sata to each evening, so I really want a fast drive for program load and operation and another drive for data.  What is best way to config drives?  Should I get 2 of them and an SSD?

  • Hello, I own a license for Adobe CS5 Production Premium and Adobe CS4 Design Premium for Windows/PC. I am switching to an OSX/MAC system. Is it possible to transfer my licenses to the new platform?

    Hello, I own a license for Adobe CS5 Production Premium and Adobe CS4 Design Premium for Windows/PC. I am switching to an OSX/MAC system. Is it possible to transfer my licenses to the new platform?

    It's possible to transfer licenses but it must be done by contacting a Customer Service representative by phone or web chat. They'll probably have you submit a form.

  • Adobe CS5 production premium "doesn't" qualify for new Adobe cc membership discount, WHY?

    Hi All,
       I have tried to qualify for the Adobe CC membership discount using my CS5 production premium serial number and the website is telling me that I do not qualify.
    However on reading the terms and conditions it stipulates anyone from CS3 and above can get the discount. Not only that the adobe live chat is only for paid memberships so I cant talk to anyone until I pay... frustration.
    Can anyone clarify this situation at all?
    Thank you in advance

    Hi, thanky ou for your response,
       I have the retail version with physical discs. It is not the educational version so I paid full price.
    ... hmmmm

  • CS5 Production Premium - Student. Upgrade to CS5.5?

    Thanks for reading all of this:
    I recently purchased CS5 Production Premium Student Edition. Adobe sent me an email saying I'm eligible for a complimentary upgrade.
    I sent in the request, and another email then said "When CS5.5 is available, we will notify you and it will ship."
    Then CS5.5 came out, and I had no such email even after a month. So I went back to the complimentary upgrade email, and tried to send another request.
    After clicking the link, the Adobe site said I haven't got any products eligible for a complimentary upgrade. Maybe that's because I already sent in a request.
    I contacted customer support through the chat client, and after an hour of miscommunication, the Adobe representative sent in a ticket for me.
    I now have CS5.5 Production Premium UPGRADE VERSION sitting in front on me.
    There is an information panel on the box saying "Before opening, visit www.adobe.com/go/upgradeinfo "
    It gives a link to the buying guide which says:
    You own one of the following suite editions
    Upgrade to Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium
    Creative Suite 5.x Design Premium, Design Standard, Web Premium, Production Premium, or Master Collection
    US$399
    Does this mean my Creative Suite 5 Production Premium STUDENT Edition is eligible?
    Will I be able to use this Upgrade Version to install over the top of my Student Edition?

    Yes, you should be fine. Student versions carry full upgrade rights.

  • Photoshop CS5 Extended NOT in CS5 Production Premium?

    Hi!
    A few days ago I purchased CS5 Production Premium. I already had Photoshop CS5 installed and registered on my PC. However, after installing Production Premium I still have Photoshop CS5, but not Extended. I checked again on the What's Is Production Premium page, and sure enough Photoshop Extended is listed right below "What's Inside" near the bottom of the page. I did not uninstall Photoshop prior to installation as I don't recall being told to anywhere.
    Just for kicks I started the install process again and stopped to look at the programs being installed. Photoshop CS5 (64bit) is listed, not CS5 Extended. If I click on the Photoshop.exe icon that is in the either of the Adobe folders (rather than using the Start menu, just to be sure), one in the Program Files (x86) for the 32bit apps, and the other in the Program FIles for the 64bit apps, I still don't have Extended for either version.
    I also noticed the modified dates of those Photoshop folders are from close to my original Photoshop CS5 installation date. Nothing was changed when I installed the Production Premium package.
    Also, I was emailed four serial numbers (two are numeric only, the other two much longer and contain letters and numbers). However, during the install only one was ever entered. Besides Photoshop I've only tried Premier Pro, After Effects, and Illustrator and they all seem fine.
    What should I do to get Extended working?

    That did the trick! Thanks for the quick response.
    Weird thing is that the Deacitvate option was greyed out on the 64bit version. I looked in the 32bit version and it was available there. I permanently deactivated it, exited Photoshop (32bit) to check the 64bit version again. This time a CS5 Production Premium window appeared with the option to install Photoshop CS5 Extended. I clicked install and Photoshop opened up almost immediately; all Extended options now available.

  • Installing cs3 master collection and cs5 production premium on windows 7 machine

    I have a windows 7 ultimate machine that I would like to install CS3 Master Collection on. I would then like to upgrade the Production Premium programs to CS5.
    I have the install discs for both. Any suggestions for how to go about doing this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Tahseen,
    Thanks for the quick reply!
    Both CS3 Master Collection and CS5 Production Premium are full installs, neither is an upgrade. I have serial numbers for both.
    Machine previously had CS4 Production Premium installed on it, that has been uninstalled.
    Should I install CS3 Master Collection then install CS5 Production Premium? If so, do I need to remove the CS3 versions of programs included in Production Premium before installing CS5 Production Premium?
    Thanks again!
