scenic lance Feb 20, 2021, 10:22 PM

#

drifting tartan does overcloack consume more power?

Yeah..., why wouldn't it?

#

But it won't be alot more power.

drifting tartan Feb 20, 2021, 10:22 PM

#

i mean like if i would need more wattage psu

scenic lance Feb 20, 2021, 10:22 PM

#

Unless you overclock like everything to max.

#

Depends on your parts.

drifting tartan Feb 20, 2021, 10:23 PM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wHsc7X

#

i was thinking on buying a 650 or a 750

scenic lance Feb 20, 2021, 10:23 PM

#

No idea the wattage for 3060ti.

drifting tartan Feb 20, 2021, 10:24 PM

#

im gonna buy a 3060 non ti

scenic lance Feb 20, 2021, 10:24 PM

#

My 3070 overclocked can draw up to 500w.

drifting tartan Feb 20, 2021, 10:24 PM

#

damm

scenic lance Feb 20, 2021, 10:24 PM

#

but then again

#

I have a 850w psu

#

No idea how much wattage AIO's consume let alone that model.

#

Never heard of it.

#

Ryzen 5 3600 TDP iirc is def lower than 3700x

#

65w yep

#

but depends how overclocked it is.

#

3000 series barely benefits from overclocking though.

#

sometimes it does more harm then good.

drifting tartan Feb 20, 2021, 10:26 PM

#

i want to oc the ryzen 5 to 4.2 and oc the ram and the gpu

scenic lance Feb 20, 2021, 10:27 PM

uhhh

#

shouldn't it already be 4.2 GHZ clock

#

with automatic boost /turbo.

drifting tartan Feb 20, 2021, 10:27 PM

#

really?

#

i dont know a lot about it

sand atlas Feb 20, 2021, 10:29 PM

#

Depends on which "Ryzen 5" you mean, there's like 8 of them

drifting tartan Feb 20, 2021, 10:29 PM

#

3600

scenic lance Feb 20, 2021, 10:29 PM

#

No idea. Just know the boost can push it.

#

My 3700x hits up to 4.6 on days the fan actually works at decent speed lol.

sand atlas Feb 20, 2021, 10:30 PM

#

4.2 is the default boost clock for the 3600

#

Auto overclock in BIOS or Ryzen Master can help push it higher

scenic lance Feb 20, 2021, 10:30 PM

#

Thats what I thought.

#

You need adequate cooling though.

#

Thanks for reminding me to purchase that aio kekw

sand atlas Feb 20, 2021, 10:30 PM

#

Definitely, not going to do that on a stock cooler

scenic lance Feb 20, 2021, 10:30 PM

#

or even a dh15

#

Well yeah

#

the 3600 cooler is meh iirc

#

cause it uses the wraith spire

#

3700x wraith prism is alright

sand atlas Feb 20, 2021, 10:31 PM

#

Yeah it's good for stock clocks but overclocking is too much for it

drifting tartan Feb 20, 2021, 10:31 PM

#

some ppl told me that the 3600 is good with a cheap air cooler

sand atlas Feb 20, 2021, 10:32 PM

#

Depends on which cheap air cooler

#

There's $20 coolers that perform better than $50 coolers

scenic lance Feb 20, 2021, 10:33 PM

I can't wait to get my hands on an artic freezer 2 240mm

they say GAMMAx

scenic lance Feb 20, 2021, 10:53 PM

bios shouldn't really fix it unless you overclocked something else.

#

The only time bios could maybe fix it is if VRMS frequencies are like too high

wanton frigate Feb 20, 2021, 11:03 PM

#

Oh, then how could I underload it then?

scenic lance Feb 20, 2021, 11:04 PM

#

cause if your not overclocking and your psu is under stress lmfao

#

you need a new psu... or undervolt your gpu.

#

AIO's use like 3w lol

That should be more than enough

Does red dragon make solid power supply

opal night Feb 21, 2021, 4:14 AM

#

Considering the 2080TI can peak at 350 watts and your CPU alone can pull 250 watts, 600W ain't gonna cut it.

barren sparrow Feb 21, 2021, 4:14 AM

#

@scenic lance how much r u willing to spend on a PSU?

sand atlas Feb 21, 2021, 4:16 AM

#

Think of it this way, will it cost more to buy a good PSU or to replace your GPU?

At this point, just go for whatever. I can't even anymore

So go for it

You're just asking for problems. Buying cheap power supplies is inviting literal fire into your computer.

Buy more wattage psu as a safety net

Power peaking 600W for just CPU/GPU and using a 450W PSU is not good

scenic lance Feb 21, 2021, 4:20 AM

don't forget how much the motherboard, ram, fans, etc use.

scenic lance Feb 21, 2021, 4:20 AM

#

opal night Power peaking 600W for just CPU/GPU and using a 450W PSU is not good

Isn't that overdraw?

sand atlas Feb 21, 2021, 4:21 AM

#

Yes, and if the power supply is not good and doesn't have protections it will literally catch fire doing that

scenic lance Feb 21, 2021, 4:21 AM

#

so what's going on? Gigabyte says cheaping out on a psu is good?

#

im confused.

#

I read the top of the convo

#

Basically, that seems like your hanging on a cliff, and your risking letting go of the rope

#

you can either be okay, or most likely have damage components.

sand atlas Feb 21, 2021, 4:22 AM

#

A 450 Watt PoS PSU for a 9900K and 2080ti is just not a good thing in any way

scenic lance Feb 21, 2021, 4:23 AM

#

wuuut

#

that doesn't sound nearly enough

#

Uh what

sand atlas Feb 21, 2021, 4:24 AM

#

An A tier 650 is the bare minimum I would do for those

#

Preferably 750

scenic lance Feb 21, 2021, 4:24 AM

#

so intel is more power hungry,
9900k: 95 TDP
Ram: 5v or something small
GPU: 350-400 ish depending on clocked

#

Uhh yeah you have like no headroom

#

if that thing say turbo boosts and uses more than 95w tdp

#

your screwed

#

Bruh

#

450 on a good day

#

probably more most of the time

sand atlas Feb 21, 2021, 4:25 AM

#

As vintage posted also, if you overclock the 9900k (like it's designed for) it can pull 250 watts alone

scenic lance Feb 21, 2021, 4:25 AM

#

I overclock

opal night Feb 21, 2021, 4:25 AM

#

The TDP is just at base clock

#

Forget TDP exists

scenic lance Feb 21, 2021, 4:25 AM

#

Thats what I thought

#

overclocking would be hungry

#

why would you overclock on a 450w psu

#

that sounds like a house fire

#

if it was like a 1050ti

#

maybe

#

but Bruh

#

I use a RMX850w, with a 3700x, and 3070

#

Cause overclocks can draw up that powah

sand atlas Feb 21, 2021, 4:26 AM

#

+1 on the RMx

scenic lance Feb 21, 2021, 4:26 AM

#

And intel is even power hungrier iirc

scenic lance Feb 21, 2021, 4:26 AM

#

scenic lance why would you overclock on a 450w psu

Or 600w

scenic lance Feb 21, 2021, 4:26 AM

#

sand atlas +1 on the RMx

Lol, i was gonna get 650, but was like, heck, don't risk it

#

its only 20 dollars more

#

cause i rather spend more for headroom

#

and not have my gpu fried

barren sparrow Feb 21, 2021, 4:27 AM

#

scenic lance its only 20 dollars more

Yo completely off topic but what is ur pfp

scenic lance Feb 21, 2021, 4:27 AM

#

RMX shouldn’t fry a Gpu

scenic lance Feb 21, 2021, 4:27 AM

#

scenic lance RMX shouldn’t fry a Gpu

With overdraw it can

#

a 650w

#

Surely not

#

You never know

#

better to be safe, then sorry

#

Is it though

#

It was 20 bucks more expensive

#

Bruh not even that much more

#

and it was worth it

sand atlas Feb 21, 2021, 4:27 AM

#

RMx has protections up the wazoo, A tier, the 650 will hold current at 750 for a while before shutoff

scenic lance Feb 21, 2021, 4:28 AM

#

RMx POG

#

even if it doesn't draw that much power

#

still worth it for that headroom

#

I have evga gt 650W

sand atlas Feb 21, 2021, 4:29 AM

#

That's A tier as well but unconfirmed

sand atlas Feb 21, 2021, 11:41 AM

A case change should be easy enough, but it probably won't support more fans than the default unless you use molex/sata adapters. I can't find a closeup picture of the motherboard to know for sure.

distant agate Feb 21, 2021, 3:22 PM

#

Is a 750 PSU good enough for a 5900X and a 3080? Note I am not going to overclock anything.

#

I have used several system builders online including pcpartpicker and they all give me a total between 550 and 650, but I have little to no experience with these things so therefore I thought I would ask here.

https://www.amazon.com/Raijintek-ERIS-EVO-PC-Case/dp/B081NFHRQX

#

its very expensive

empty yoke Feb 22, 2021, 11:03 AM

I bought this over at Newegg and tried giving a review of it, but the product listing has been removed. That said here is my review.

For $399.99 you'd expect more aluminum and better quality. You're better off buying a Inwin 925 or other case for this much.

1.) The instructions are bad, small pictures and it's hard to tell which screws go where.

2.) There are only two aluminum panels, the outside brushed aluminum. Everything else is steel.

3.) The case advertises two itx systems, but only comes with one, cheaply made plastic i/o controller. This i/o controller doesn't even come with USB type C. For this much money, this should be standard.

4.) I wish it allowed the install of an motherboard vertical that is larger than an ITX. There's plenty of room to do so. You can mod the case to do so...

5.) Two stars achieved only for the customizability. -3 stars because of the price and sub-quality factor.

When was the last time a 3060 FE dropped?

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 3:10 PM

2 weeks ago, best buy

How many?

How is the best buy system?

Never tried it. Only saw that day they dropped 3080s

#

and the button stuck lol

scenic lance Feb 22, 2021, 5:44 PM

Probs a few dozen per location

deep sleet Feb 22, 2021, 5:45 PM

scenic lance Probs a few dozen per location

Is it better to actually go to the best buy store or buy it online?

scenic lance Feb 22, 2021, 5:45 PM

#

online

#

in store its only FE iirc

deep sleet Feb 22, 2021, 5:48 PM

Any tips for trying to buy one online?

Anyone know if AMD or Intel gets more fps in Valorant? 5900x or 10900k 3080 1080p

summer gorge Feb 22, 2021, 6:41 PM

#

5900x

#

But it and a 3080 are overkill as hell for 1080p

worthy crypt Feb 22, 2021, 6:42 PM

#

how bout 5800x? I was thinking of getting that instead of 5900x since I can actually find it in stock

summer gorge Feb 22, 2021, 6:43 PM

#

Yeah that works

#

I would get a monitor upgrade though

#

Maybe a 4K 144hz one if you have the money

zinc flume Feb 22, 2021, 7:40 PM

#

IIRC 5600x/5800x/5900x get very similar fps in 1080p for the most part because most games don't leverage the extra cores of the more expensive parts well yet

Yo, what's a good 750W PSU? My EVGA 750 BQ blew up the other night

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 10:46 PM

#

Phanteks AMP

#

UNless 3080

elfin trout Feb 22, 2021, 10:46 PM

#

Uh, bq blowing up might suggest some other issues with your power

#

like from the wall

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 10:46 PM

#

Then go 850W Enermax Revolution DF

finite agate Feb 22, 2021, 10:46 PM

#

1070, upgrading to 3070 when in stock

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 10:46 PM

#

o

elfin trout Feb 22, 2021, 10:47 PM

#

bq doesn't exactly have a reputation of blowing up usually

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 10:47 PM

#

Well, BQ aren't the best either tho

#

not blowing up

finite agate Feb 22, 2021, 10:47 PM

#

Ya, i tested with a friend's thermaltake 650w psu to see if it worked, and it did

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 10:47 PM

#

Might have just been a cap though

minor portalBOT Feb 22, 2021, 10:47 PM

#

Thisguy298#8315 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

finite agate Feb 22, 2021, 10:47 PM

#

Yeah, i did notice some small solid black particles by the psu

#

Pretty sure a cap or resistor blew

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 10:48 PM

#

How old was it?

finite agate Feb 22, 2021, 10:48 PM

#

2 months

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 10:48 PM

#

oh man

elfin trout Feb 22, 2021, 10:48 PM

#

I just really don't want to see a good PSU blow up if it was caused by something else

finite agate Feb 22, 2021, 10:48 PM

#

Perhaps a power surge happened

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 10:48 PM

#

Warranty that thing or RMA it lol

elfin trout Feb 22, 2021, 10:48 PM

#

BQ does have SCP last I checked

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 10:48 PM

#

before you buy another one

elfin trout Feb 22, 2021, 10:49 PM

#

might want to RMA and ask them about what actually happened

finite agate Feb 22, 2021, 10:49 PM

#

Yeah, i'm going to RMA

#

Hopefully just get my money back, cause that thing had loud coil whine and a loud fan

elfin trout Feb 22, 2021, 10:50 PM

#

@finite agate when did it blow up, during operation or just while turning on

finite agate Feb 22, 2021, 10:50 PM

#

Really happy it did its job though. that is, the psu blowing up and not the motherboard+cpu+gpu+ram etc

#

During the night, while sleeping

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 10:50 PM

#

You got lucky

finite agate Feb 22, 2021, 10:50 PM

#

Woke up, and the ram and mobo rgb wasnt on

#

Turned on, did what i usually do throughout the day, and put to sleep again for the night

#

Woke up again to ram and mobo rgb dead, and it wouldnt turn on

#

Just tested a different psu, and the ram & mobo rgb lit up, and fans spun

#

So that 750 bq definitely blew up

elfin trout Feb 22, 2021, 10:52 PM

#

Weird

#

I checked just in case, BQ does have a bit high inrush current, but it has proper surge and inrush current protection

finite agate Feb 22, 2021, 10:52 PM

#

Not enough, i guess

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 10:52 PM

#

Could have just been a defective cap at assembly that gave up the ghost

elfin trout Feb 22, 2021, 10:52 PM

#

tpu also doesn't fully test sip, but yea

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 10:52 PM

#

They aren't terrible PSU's

finite agate Feb 22, 2021, 10:53 PM

#

Regardless, i'd like some info on recommendations for solid PSUs so that i can avoid all this

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 10:53 PM

#

Phanteks Amp 750

#

$109

finite agate Feb 22, 2021, 10:53 PM

#

Just get my $ back and get new

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 10:53 PM

#

Seasonic FOcus GOld

elfin trout Feb 22, 2021, 10:53 PM

#

Anyways, blowing is is generally very rare on actually decent units, so I'd try to make sure it's not something else killing it

#

Amp 750w is a great option

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 10:53 PM

#

Um, Enermax Revolution 750

sand atlas Feb 22, 2021, 10:53 PM

#

Even if QA can get 99% of the bad units off the shelves there's going to be the 1% that get through. When you're talking tens of thousands of units, that adds up. Just unlucky would be my guess.

elfin trout Feb 22, 2021, 10:53 PM

#

Revolution d.f. 750w usually not a good price

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 10:53 PM

#

bang for the buck Amp is where it's at though I think

elfin trout Feb 22, 2021, 10:54 PM

#

Revolution d.f. 850w is great for pricing tho

finite agate Feb 22, 2021, 10:54 PM

#

Pretty sure something blew up lol, like i said, i found some small burnt remains of something outside of it

elfin trout Feb 22, 2021, 10:54 PM

#

@sand atlas Yes, but because of the 1%, I'd try and figure out if it's possible it's another 1% possibility thing like maybe power to your house is wack

sand atlas Feb 22, 2021, 10:55 PM

#

True as well, could have been a freak accident even like a transformer blew in the night and got fixed before he woke up.

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 10:55 PM

#

That's hard to do without a scope to examine the AC sine wave

finite agate Feb 22, 2021, 10:55 PM

#

Thanks for the help fellas

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 10:55 PM

#

Used to have a meter for that

elfin trout Feb 22, 2021, 10:55 PM

#

It's just a rare thing, try to get some info back from the RMA about what happened if possible, and if the next unit blows up, something else might be wrong.

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 10:55 PM

#

Absolutely ask what failed

elfin trout Feb 22, 2021, 10:56 PM

#

@finite agate For now, amp 750w is a great unit with no history of blowing up that we know of, so something else is very wrong if that goes

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 10:56 PM

#

and possibly why

finite agate Feb 22, 2021, 10:56 PM

#

Wasnt plugged into surge protector, figured the psu could handle it if it happened

#

Next time, it will be in surge protector

opal night Feb 22, 2021, 10:56 PM

#

A GOOD surge protector

finite agate Feb 22, 2021, 10:56 PM

#

Ya, i'll find out what happened

#

I'm fairly certain I could find out on my own by cracking it open, but that would void warranty lmao

elfin trout Feb 22, 2021, 10:57 PM

#

Try to update us if you get info back, who knows, maybe BQ has a design flaw or something.

For lower end components, fine

#

For things like 3070 or higher end CPU's, not so much

elfin trout Feb 22, 2021, 10:59 PM

#

eh, you can get better for the price

#

front usb-c is a pain imo :P

#

kinda annoying to find board with 3.1 header

barren sparrow Feb 22, 2021, 11:00 PM

#

It’s aesthetically pleasing

elfin trout Feb 22, 2021, 11:01 PM

#

No offense, but my usual response to that is chuck it in a box and spray paint the box, that's what a h510 is.

barren sparrow Feb 22, 2021, 11:01 PM

Yes, there are also arrows stamped into the sides to show which way the air moves

I don't, probably have to buy them singles or a kit and not use the whole kit

zinc flume Feb 23, 2021, 5:03 PM

#

atomic zealot price?

About $95 I think

#

Just checked, Newegg has the lancool II mesh for $95-$115 depending on the version of the case. Microcenter has it for $95 iirc. There are a bunch of good airflow cases around that price point

opal night Feb 23, 2021, 5:12 PM

#

P500A non-RGB also

elfin trout Feb 23, 2021, 5:13 PM

#

@atomic zealot lancool ii mesh td500 mesh p500a all around 100$

zinc flume Feb 23, 2021, 5:30 PM

#

P400a is also close, maybe $10 cheaper than the 500a. I think the main difference is the 400a is a little smaller all around, but maybe @elfin trout can clarify any other differences

elfin trout Feb 23, 2021, 5:43 PM

#

@zinc flume I hate p400a just a bit for not fitting d15

#

And on top of that, they did specify they wanted to go with air

#

So 155mm cooler clearance is a no no

zinc flume Feb 23, 2021, 5:48 PM

#

It's 160mm and you can fit the d15 just not with the second fan. So can go d15s for nearly the same performance. But yeah, I recently realized that about mine

#

I have limited room between my desktop and a shelf so the p400a size is better for me personally even if it comes at a cost

scenic lance Feb 23, 2021, 5:53 PM

#

As a wise man onc etold me

#

Told me*

#

"Use a good PSU, that doesn't blow up, you don't want to have to buy life insurance"

elfin trout Feb 23, 2021, 5:57 PM

#

@zinc flume both fans on the D15 are at the same positioning height wise, second fan off usually for ram clearance concerns.

#

#

Pretty sure p400a cooler clearance was 155mm, might've been o11 then

@summer gorge , attaching separate gpu's for mining

opal night Feb 23, 2021, 7:23 PM

Mining has a lower power draw and doesn't suffer from the transient loads like gaming

summer gorge Feb 23, 2021, 7:23 PM

how much does 2 3080s draw while mining? not more than 600w, right?

scenic lance Feb 23, 2021, 7:23 PM

250w per

when mining,
8pin#1 88w
#2 120w
#3 35w

#

ish

it's mem clocked at 10500 MHz though

so i think that's where it's pulling a little more W than what it should
