Stuck Pixel Checks for a Mechanical Keyboard Setup
Stuck pixel on a Mechanical Keyboard is likely a display symptom around that setup, not the part itself. Check the monitor, cable, GPU output, drivers, and warranty path first.

A 4K editing PC delivered to Newcastle costs roughly R30,000 to R50,000 and should pair a Ryzen 9 7900 or Core i7-14700 with an RTX 4070 (12GB), 64GB DDR5, and a 2TB NVMe. That spec scrubs 4K timelines in DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro without dropped frames and exports faster than real time. Courier to Newcastle in KZN takes about 3 to 5 working days.
Cores, RAM, And Storage Lead
4K editing is bound by CPU, RAM, and storage before GPU. A 12-core Ryzen 9 7900 powers renders, 64GB RAM keeps multiple 4K streams smooth, and the RTX 4070's NVENC encoder accelerates H.264/H.265 exports. A 50Mbps 4K stream eats about 22GB per hour, so a dedicated 2TB project NVMe beside the OS drive keeps reads fast and the boot disk clear.
What It Delivers
Multicam 4K plays back without stutter, Resolve's GPU effects apply in real time, and a 10-minute 4K export finishes in minutes. For Newcastle creators that means quicker turnaround on client and channel work.
Proxies And Cache Settings
For the smoothest 4K timeline, enable optimised media or proxies and point the cache at the fast NVMe rather than the OS partition. This single change often does more for scrubbing comfort than a GPU upgrade at this tier.
FAQ
How much storage do I need for 4K editing?
Plan for a 1TB OS NVMe plus a separate 2TB project drive, since 4K footage at 50Mbps eats about 22GB per hour. A dedicated project drive keeps playback fast.
Is the RTX 4070 enough for 4K editing?
Yes. Its 12GB and NVENC encoder accelerate 4K playback, GPU effects, and exports in Resolve and Premiere, a strong value pick at roughly R12,000.
How long is delivery to Newcastle?
Courier from Evetech to Newcastle in KZN typically takes 3 to 5 working days for an assembled, tested editing PC ready to cut on arrival.
