I dont see a world where nintendo ever reverts back to standard consoles

sweet phoenix
#

For the new ones, I'll wait till there's an emulator app to run them on pc

ancient swift
#

Yes you can redownload your stuff.

sage sluice
#

I play smash comp so i kinda need to own a legitimate copy

rancid juniper
#

watch that new switch gets jailbroken day one, and emulator support a week later

#

😂

pliant berry
#

alright then

storm narwhal
#

Wasn't it just screen, a tiny bit more storage, lan port on the dock and bigger kickstand

unreal trail
#

The storefront is down, but the file servers are still up

storm narwhal
#

As far as I remember they're running the exact same soc on the OLED ones

sweet phoenix
pliant berry
#

ahh

sweet phoenix
#

My brother would just spam down b as kirby it was obnoxious

ancient swift
sage sluice
#

Ive won like 200$ at tournaments 🙏

unreal trail
#

I Havent played smash in a minute

rancid juniper
#

parsec time

sweet phoenix
#

I dont see myself getting another console for a good while. I'd rather just build a secondary pc if I have a need for one

storm narwhal
unreal trail
#

I do enjoy some Duke Nukem 3D

ancient swift
#

I wish unicorn overlord was goin on PC 😌 I need the fire emblem vibes

pliant berry
#

ill just hold onto my steam deck for console purposes

sage sluice
#

I love pcs but damn the one thing i love much more about consoles is pricing

storm narwhal
#

Still, 64gb is not really an improvement from 32 lmao you'll still be getting sd card

unreal trail
#

I got a 1TB card for my Switch

storm narwhal
#

But yeah if I were to get a handheld it'd definitely be the steam deck

craggy shoal
#

I wouldn't have had to get a PS5 if they just put Gran Turismo 7 on PC

sage sluice
#

You spend as much as you do on your pc as you do on your console and you get like half the performance

rancid juniper
sweet phoenix
rancid juniper
#

tiktok had a shop?

ancient swift
#

Surprised the switch lite didn't drop down to 150$ and the regular switch didn't drop down to 250$ to let the OLED be 300$

rancid juniper
sage sluice
#

Still does

storm narwhal
#

Steam deck refresh goes hard

sweet phoenix
#

Now you need around $600 minimum to get ps5 performance for a pc

rancid juniper
#

lol wtf

sage sluice
#

I keep getting adverts for it and i hate it

sweet phoenix
sinful blade
#

It helps save a lot of money

sweet phoenix
#

I got a p41 plus 2tb for $35 after tax w tiktok shop

unreal trail
#

Not sure I'd trust shopping on tiktok

storm narwhal
#

Id trust it more than Amazon

ancient swift
storm narwhal
#

At this point

unreal trail
#

then again, I did trust Wish

sweet phoenix
#

I forget his tag, but someone here built a full machine with a 5600 and 6700xt purely on tiktok shop except the gpu, the gpu he bought used. It cost him $540 after tax

sinful blade
#

A lot of posts are bots/scalpers

But if you go with reputable sellers like Newegg

unreal trail
sage sluice
sweet phoenix
storm narwhal
#

Amazon doesn't give a crap about the products they sell or the listings anymore

sweet phoenix
#

@green yew that's him

green yew
#

Hello

#

What’s happening

sweet phoenix
#

Sorry for ping

sinful blade
#

Black Friday is the best time for the tiktok shop

sweet phoenix
unreal trail
#

Amazon has all kinds of fake SD cards listed on it

sweet phoenix
#

It was 5600 6700xt $200 used, was like $540 after tax?

green yew
#

Ah alright

#

Yeah its true

rancid juniper
green yew
#

Around 540 to 600 with other stuff I bought

sweet phoenix
#

Yeah, and it kinda smacks the ps5 lol

green yew
#

The computer works so well lol

storm narwhal
sweet phoenix
#

Now tt shop is pretty dry deal wise. There's occasionally some ok ones

grand kernel
#

I bought a 2tb gen 3 SSD for 165 and that was a steal at the time 😦

storm narwhal
#

Pushed me to not buy from them anymore lol, just buying from physical stores or the actual website for the product now

sweet phoenix
#

The most I've spent per tb on an ssd is $40

pliant berry
#

and i just spent 20 on 250gb peepoSadSip

sweet phoenix
#

$60 2tb external, $30 2tb, $25 1tb, $35 1tb, $18 512gb, $20 512gb

#

And then a 1tb from a pre built

unreal trail
#

FF7 Rebirth demo is probably coming today

sage sluice
#

Is it even worth buying HDD for bulk storage

sage sluice
#

I feel like they just want to break at any moment

pliant berry
#

depends how you use it

sweet phoenix
#

Grab it

#

If you can

sweet phoenix
pliant berry
#

I saw some 16-18tb drives under 200usd in #tech-deals not that long ago

sweet phoenix
#

Honestly, ssd still not bad for bulk storage. 4tb is $220

ancient swift
#

I gotta decide if I want more handhelds or to upgrade my PC.

worldly hollow
#

Do you guys have any experience with shipping with newegg like the returned to sender stuff

sage sluice
sweet phoenix
#

I do not, sorry

ancient swift
#

I really only play Skyrim so GPU upgrades are all that really matters.

sweet phoenix
ancient swift
#

Cause mods

sage sluice
#

Oh, prob not then tbh

ancient swift
#

5800x/3080 ti is the PC that'd be upgraded.

sweet phoenix
#

I'm upgrading my gpu with next gen. Rn on 13600k 3060 ti

#

I'm really hoping XTX performance at 400-600 is true

sage sluice
#

I would love that

ancient swift
#

I need a new mobo cause of the OCP protection being shorted on my mobo. So I can't just get a 5700x3d or 5800x3d lol

storm narwhal
#

My next upgrade will definitely be my cpu lol

sweet phoenix
#

F

storm narwhal
#

I'm still running the 3600

sweet phoenix
#

Atp I'd just go am5

sweet phoenix
ancient swift
#

But getting a 7800x3d is meh with what I play

storm narwhal
#

yep

ancient swift
#

Get a 5700x3d

storm narwhal
#

so gpu is definitely going to be more years down the line

ancient swift
#

Beats the 13600k right?

sweet phoenix
#

Nah

#

It about matches 7600 (loses a bit, not by much), but 13600k is a bit ahead.

#

13600k maybe 10% better on a good day

sage sluice
#

Rn my build list has a 7600 and a 7800xt

sweet phoenix
#

5800x3d already loses to 13600k

worthy tapir
#

I need to upgrade my cpu now that I'm getting a 7900xt.

sweet phoenix
#

No shot 5700x3d beats it

#

Key words in that article is "in the right scenarios."

pliant berry
#

ahh the good old amd vs intel wars

ancient swift
#

Valid

sweet phoenix
#

I'd imagine that's a handful of games that LOVE cache

#

Like rust

storm narwhal
#

Good thing I don't play rust

dusk knot
#

Mmmmh

ancient swift
#

Star citizen and Asseto Corsa

sweet phoenix
#

Also iirc they test with jedec ram, which would hurt 13600k perf much more than x3d perf

sage sluice
#

Honestly is there even any value in buying intel over amd

sweet phoenix
sweet phoenix
#

For workstation, it depends

pliant berry
#

well i am intel simp so go buy intel

sage sluice
#

Nar

Get whichever cheaper for whatever games you play

This intro is dominating my tiktok fyp and I'm not mad about it

ancient swift
#

I love the show

#

And the song

sweet phoenix
#

I watched a few episodes a few months ago, its solid

#

I dont like the trope with so many new gen animes where the main character is just so God damn op. It's so overdone atp

ancient swift
sage sluice
#

Weebs like power

#

Simple

ancient swift
#

It's #1 in Japan

ancient swift
sweet phoenix
#

Yeah but a lot of newer animes are doing it in such similar ways

ancient swift
#

Astroboy? Detective Conan? Dragonball? Naruto? Etc. the main character is always some chosen one through birthright or determination.

sweet phoenix
#

How many main characters were reincarnated from past lives and are insanely op in current times from animes that came out in the last 5-10 years

sage sluice
#

I mean the most popular animes have power tropes

ancient swift
#

Which is overdone.

#

Mashle isn't an isekai

sage sluice
#

AoT, naruto, mob psycho (i love this show), JJK, dragonball, i could easily go on

empty tide
#

Is Futurama am isekai?

sweet phoenix
#

Not exactly. Isekai is just being reincarnated and can be done well. But misfit demon king academy or whatever that show is, I've seen at least 10 animes in the last 5 years just like it

ancient swift
#

As of right now, Mashles strength is from training physically his whole life.

sweet phoenix
worthy tapir
#

Is the x670 aorus elite a good board?

sweet phoenix
#

I mean not even with jjk. Yuji isn't even that strong

sweet phoenix
sage sluice
#

Yuji has sakuna

sweet phoenix
#

And what you're doing

sweet phoenix
sage sluice
#

Ofc

#

I guess gojo yeah no youre right

ancient swift
sage sluice
#

My argument was power tropes tho

rancid juniper
#

bro when did we get to anime stuff

sweet phoenix
sage sluice
#

Not most powerful

sweet phoenix
#

Sukuna does not

ancient swift
#

The legend of legendary heroes had the same cliche. A demon lives inside the main character and gives him strength beyond his means.

sweet phoenix
#

Sukuna is a villain, ninetails fox isn't

rancid juniper
sweet phoenix
#

I also could never get into Naruto. It was just too boring

ancient swift
#

Valid.

sweet phoenix
#

I just finished one piece though... in like four months

ancient swift
#

But anyways, power fantasy are huge these days

sweet phoenix
#

I started watching it in September of 2023

ancient swift
#

In both anime and games.

empty tide
#

I guess it makes sense

#

Since I have no control over my irl life, why not have too much control over a virtual life?

rancid juniper
ancient swift
#

I wonder who started the power fantasy tropes in Western games. It's not forced unleashed is it? Has to be older than that

sweet phoenix
ancient swift
rancid juniper
#

i havent watched the anime yet lolz

ancient swift
#

Better be 24 episodes.

sweet phoenix
#

I'm still waiting for new season of demon slayer

#

And for the jjk manga to end

rancid juniper
empty tide
#

Honestly I think I may have to watch jjk

rancid juniper
empty tide
#

Purely to understand the deluge of jjk memes everywhere

rancid juniper
#

tons of action if ur into it

empty tide
#

Hmm >_>

#

Yeah i like action

rancid juniper
#

sweet phoenix
#

I read the manga before the second season was out, and it was still so painful to watch. They cut out some of the super super gorey parts, but there's some really bad panels

worthy tapir
sweet phoenix
#

Also what about a USB hub for like $10-15? Also makes cable managing easier if done right

#

(External cable managing)

#

If that's enough

grand kernel
#

thinking about buying some AMD stock

#

should I do it

#

👀

sweet phoenix
#

I know about three things about the stock market so I will not be weighing in

worthy tapir
sweet phoenix
#

Also I lied, 12 usb type A, one type c

#

Not 11

worthy tapir
#

Yeah honestly I probably don't need a x670 chipset

sweet phoenix
grand kernel
#

nooo how are you gonna run RX 480 SLI with 8 gen 5 nvmes without an x670 board

worthy tapir
#

Appreciate it. I just have the x570 aorus elite and the b450 aorus elite before that and they always worked great.

grand kernel
#

the future is now old man

sweet phoenix
#

I actually run my pc with two separate motherboards, one for all of mh gen 5 ssds and the other one for both of my 4090s

#

I put half of the cpu in each mobo

grand kernel
#

why waste money on a 4090 when you can just keep stacking RX 480s until you reach your performance target

worthy tapir
#

I really only game so the 650 version will probably be alright.

sweet phoenix
#

I'll grab like 20 of those, 160gb vram should be enough for gta 5 right?

grand kernel
#

hmmm

#

160gb vram is good for 1080p medium

#

but if you want to go higher you might have trouble

sweet phoenix
#

Hm alright. Double it for 1440p low?

worldly hollow
#

Is newegg support call only?

grand kernel
#

I glued 8 ddr5 dimm slots to my GPU and now I can finally run 1440p high settings with 384gb

#

still can't run 4k though

pliant berry
#

all the support lines are listed in #faqs

grand kernel
#

they were comparing rx 480 crossfire to the gtx 1080

#

AMD marketing was something else in those days

sweet phoenix
#

If I put my 3060 ti into my ram slots and my ram into my pcie slot, can I have 32gb vram

grand kernel
#

yeah that's how it works

sweet phoenix
#

Sick

#

Brb

#

Instructions unclear, pc is flying

grand kernel
#

oh that just means you activated DLSS 4.0 Lift Generation

#

congrats

worthy tapir
#

So dead island 2 broke my secondary pc yesterday.

grand kernel
#

that's a memory bsod

#

probably had unstable xmp the whole time but wasn't exposed until you tried to run something specific

worthy tapir
#

So one of my aio fans went to crap on my main rig so I moved my ram over to this one. Never once had a ram issue before. Maybe mobo doesn't like it

sweet phoenix
#

Did you clear cmos and re enable xmp?

#

And what cpu/ram?

grand kernel
#

the same ram can behave differently with different cpu/board

worthy tapir
#

Yeah I did that. It's a asrock b550m steel legend. Ryzen 5600 and 4x8gb of 3600 cl16

#

Corsair vengeance

grand kernel
#

lower quality board than your x570 aorus

#

probably doesn't like the 4 dimms

worthy tapir
#

Been using the ram for over a year with my x570 aorus elite and 5800x

#

Possibly. I just put the 2 x 8 3200mhz** teamgroup back in

sweet phoenix
#

Or 4x8 and manually set it to 3200c16

#

5600 on a b550 should handle 3600mhz 10 times out of 10(not including 4 sticks)

#

My 3600 did on a bottom of the barrel b450

worthy tapir
#

Eh I got a new fan on the way for my main pc. I just found it interesting that it reacted that way

grand kernel
#

just did some research for you

both boards are 4 layer daisy chain boards (yuck)

#

but I guess the aorus elite might have better trace quality

#

or just luck of the draw

#

I'm actually really surprised the x570 aorus elite is only 4 layers

velvet summit
#

what the dog doin

sweet phoenix
worthy tapir
#

Normally I only get 2 sticks but there was a deal for the 4 at the time

grand kernel
#

cause more room to route traces without interference

#

it's not quite that simple but

#

suffice to say 4 layer pcb isn't usually a good sign

proud jackal
grand kernel
#

i mean if it works for you it works for you

worthy tapir
#

Haha

grand kernel
#

it's more of a consideration for people who want to ram oc

#

to care about 6-8 layer boards

This dude almost hit me in his big ass truck because he got onto the wrong exit.

how can i turn off dynamic lighting in windows for my computer without activated windows? i can not change the color of my keyboard back to what i want it using the keyboards app without turning dynamic lighting off

pliant berry
#

there is a rgb setting in windows?

gleaming sedge
#

apparently Personalization -> dynamic lighting

#

my freaking keyboard rgb is locked behind a paywall😭

pliant berry
#

are you sure? I just found it now but it isn't actually changing the color of anything looks like it requires other software? and the "compatible apps in the foreground always control lighting" seems to be on by default

I am 100% positive at the moment my rgb is locked behind the pay wall since according to Ghub I need to turn off dynamic lighting in windows to be able to change my rgb in Ghub

should i use display port or hdmi to hook up to gpu

#

likes whats the difference between the two

elfin mural
#

compare the different versions of them

#

use the one with the highest bandwidth

pliant berry
#

typically for gaming displays you want displayport. hdmi benefits are usually for media

elfin mural
#

hdmi can support higher res/refresh than dp if dp version is too old

atomic current
#

whichever one the monitor has lol

elfin mural
#

the opposite applies as well

#

just use the one the monitor can put out its advertised specs

#

Would there be a good place to ask about networking here?

#

My Ethernet has been acting odd lately, unsure why

pliant berry
#

If anyone is still awake

surreal comet
#

Was wondering, my network tab says I had one gigabit

#

But everything at its fastest only downloads at 500mb/s

#

Around that

#

I've updated my Ethernet drivers and that didn't seem to do anything

wary fjord
#

I don't think u will see 1000 mb/s

pliant berry
#

Oh well that’s going to depend on a lot of factors. What speed you pay for to isp. Local internet traffic, etc

wary fjord
#

On gigabit connection xD

pliant berry
#

Most people that pay for gigabit realistically get between 700-900mbps ish. But translates to about 100MB/s from game installers ofc that depends on their download servers

wary fjord
#

Are u sure u seing.. 500mb/s and not 500 MBps

#

Is this steam xD

surreal comet
#

Steam yes

north crescent
pliant berry
#

The naming is really stupid. I recently learned that mb/s or MiB/s could also stand for mebibits per second apparently

wary fjord
#

In steam theres two one with slash one is not.. one is bytes one is bit

#

I forgot the correct capitalization

#

Still 500 mb/s is impressive

#

I saw a guy with that speed on yt.. he has 10 gigabit

#

XD

north crescent
wary fjord
pliant berry
#

Anywho what I am getting at is if you are on ethernet and the pc is connected at proper protocol then its not likely any issue with the pc itself or drivers. More likely a bottleneck with the router, congested traffic, or you don’t actually pay for that speed

wary fjord
#

For me if i have 500 mega byes per sec i wont complain xD 😂

#

I have 55 MB/s

#

And it only take few mins to download 100gb

#

Deym the 500 will be more awesome that that

surreal comet
#

Well alright then

#

Thanks

wary fjord

Can drive keep up on that

Hmm i should only get 1 12v battery replacement not two.. bought a multi meter today.. find out only one of the batter is dead below 9v xD one is 13v still

#

Welp

#

My other SN550 seems to have died ssadge

#

For some reason the system doesn't detect it and yet at the same time it still is detected in file explorer and I can interact with some of the files to a degree but most can't be moved and some pop up that the device it is on doesn't exist pepehmmm

wary fjord
#

Maybe format it

#

Or move it on other slot

#

Then format it

#

Deep format it

nocturne flicker
#

I've never had to do a deep format, is that just ticking off the quick format option?

#

Can't even format, gets an error message. I'll take it out in a bit and put it in a different slot

today I have committed great crime

#

created my first Reddit account

raven canyon
#

Hello, I'm living in canada and I want to build a custom pc on newegg. Will they assemble the computer parts for me or do I have to do it myself?

mortal grail
#

It's possible they can but I'd highly suggest buying it from all over and building from scratch

#

Or if you have a tech savvy friend

#

Throw them $100 to do it

#

If the build fee is tolerable I'd bring them the parts first to do it (buying from one place racks up the price reaaalllyyy fast...)

#

You can learn to build a pc properly in a few hours, or if you're able to pick up on the cues, some people on YT have posted 30 second shorts about it

#

It would save you a solid couple hundred so I definitely think it's worth mentioning

raven canyon
#

I'm worried that I'll damage the components if I assemble them myselfPYcapoosohai

#

It would be good if I could use the assembly service

mortal grail
#

Honestly

#

Kinda hard to damage them

lone mango
#

Yeah it is not as bad as you think. You can watch tons of guides that have tons of info on youtube

mortal grail
#

Unless you do something quite willingly bad

#

Like drop the gpu off the desk or something

lone mango
#

Yeah and ram is impossible to mess up

raven canyon
#

I have a basic understanding of how to assemble them, but is the wiring really difficult?

mortal grail
#

If you read the manuals, no

lone mango
#

Depends on the case and cables but typically not a big deal even if you have stiff ass cables or some ultra cheap case

mortal grail
#

The only wires I reckon you could mix up are the usb and front panel audio, and using the right ends of the power cables to the psu

#

If you check these and read the manuals though, you won't mix this up

lone mango
#

Oh yeah, you might have to look at the diagram for front panel connectors

raven canyon
#

Maybe it's not really that hard so I'll try to assemble them

mortal grail
#

I would, do you want a help making a list @raven canyon ?

#

I need four things

#
  1. Budget
#
  1. Wifi
#
  1. What's the pc being used for
#
  1. Colour (if possible without spending a small fortune)
raven canyon
elfin mural
#

damn

#

We're working with big money

mortal grail
#

And what kind of gamedev

#

How big we talkin

#

How many hours a day, how big are your projects

#

Is this like a full career thing

#

Just want to take that in as well cos, when I see a big number like that it's one of two people:

#

1 being someone who does it full time and wants to splash

#

2 being someone who just started and don't know how deep they'll go

raven canyon
#

I'm a beginner a year ago and want to buy a pc set to use for the next 6-7 years without having to upgrade components.

#

it's also partly because of my passion

mortal grail
#

I'd maybe tamper expectations down for now until you know what you're really in for first

#

You can build something really strong for like a third of that

#

Nonetheless, I'll make two lists, my recommendation will be the cheaper of the two though

hoary zodiac
#

imo future proofing isn't really cost effective

mortal grail
#

It's not

hoary zodiac
#

Pretty sure a $3000 pc won't be far off

#

In terms of performance

mortal grail
#

Only thing worth future proofing is the psu

hoary zodiac
#

4090 and 14900k?

mortal grail
#

No not suggesting that

hoary zodiac
#

That was my crappy estimate

#

Of the point of diminishing returns

#

Surely a 4080 is better value

raven canyon
#

The current PC I'm thinking of is 14700k and 4080, 64gb ram

hoary zodiac
#

Ok imma whip up a list rq

#

Probably won't be over $3500

#

That is a very generous estimate

#

wait a second

#

7900X is cheaper lmao

mortal grail
hoary zodiac
#

4070ti super

#

Why does that exist

#

💀

mortal grail
#

If not 7950x3d, 7950x and an aio

hoary zodiac
#

Is it really worth paying double tho

mortal grail
#

Double what

hoary zodiac
#

Oh nvm cad

#

I was on the us page

mortal grail
#

Lol

hoary zodiac
#

I was like

#

"why is this double the price of the 7900x"

mortal grail
#

@raven canyon check above

#

I strongly urge the first option

#

It's a good like

#

80%-ish of the other two

hoary zodiac
#

and also depends on what game engine

#

or what aspects of game dev you're working on

mortal grail
#

It's a good 80%-ish for a near 66% of the price

mortal grail
hoary zodiac
#

yeah

mortal grail
#

Esp. 40 series with ai engine crap

#

16gb vram on the TI super is also plenty

#

And these also double as great for regular gaming as well

#

1440p

#

144-240hz monitor ideal

hoary zodiac
#

practically a workstation with those specs

mortal grail
#

Not practically

#

Is

#

Lol

hoary zodiac
#

Workstations have gotten a lot cheaper these days

raven canyon
#

I quite like the first list

mortal grail
#

I wanted to put white gpu in the other two

#

But the only option was gonna be meh asf

#

So the founders is way better and still silver

#

But I agree, effectively speaking the first list would be about where the value for money starts to drop off, if you wanted to go higher

#

You could also do 4070 super imo

#

Iirc they have a white asus dual near msrp, very good card

hoary zodiac
#

What actually is the point of diminishing returns these days

#

For a general gaming/workstation pc

mortal grail
#

Nevermind the 4070 super white dual doesn't exist in canada apparently

#

Fabulous

#

💀

mortal grail
#

4070 TiS is like, just falling off the bell curve into high end

hoary zodiac
#

I remember when i used to think of 70 cards as high end

mortal grail
#

They kinda are

#

Still

swift sable
#

hot take: anything more powerful than a 2080 super is high end

hoary zodiac
#

Like 1070

mortal grail
#

Real

swift sable
#

in the grand scheme of computing at least

#

🥱

#

consumer stuff...

hoary zodiac
#

I have a 3070 mobile and I never use up most of it

mortal grail
#

Anyway

#

Any questions you have @raven canyon lmk and I'll respond later

#

Or someone else might

#

G2g

#

✌️

raven canyon
#

this is my list before

mortal grail
#

Def not

#

That's also USD

#

So that-

#

I can see why you said 7K CAD kekw

#

You'll get within striking distance of that for a fraction of the price lol

#

With the above lists

#

Anyway, fr now, I g2g, good luck with the build

The crash is caused by gpu drivers

mini itx cases can support atx psus

#

what you're thinking is sfx

velvet summit
#

i dont think ive ever seen a mini itx case with a built in psu

cursive oasis

Well, I'm doing a project that requires the psu to be as tiny as possible

elfin mural
#

which is also a popular choice for mini itx

velvet summit
#

also what is your project?

#

most pc power supplies are more than most electronics projects need

#

do you only need 12v?

#

5v?

cursive oasis

I'm using the AMD 8700g, and putting a Mini PC into the case of an Xbox 360

velvet summit

so you're still doing a pc

cursive oasis
#

Yes

velvet summit
#

i thought you were looking for a power supply for some electronics project or smth lmao

elfin mural
#

as small as they come

cursive oasis
#

Nah. That's why I need the psu to be incredibly tiny

velvet summit
#

honestly an external power brick would be the best for this type of build

elfin mural
#

pricey af for 500w

#

$170

velvet summit
#

xbox 360 had external psu as well iirc

cursive oasis
#

Well shoot I didn't think of an external psu

atomic current
#

can you actually build a machine using a power brick

velvet summit
#

technically

#

may require some voltage converters

#

i believe a 8700g should be fine with a 12v 10 amp psu

#

power the other stuff with 12v to 5v converters and such

#

look at picopsu's

#

they're DC-DC power supplies for ATX computers

#

PicoPSU-160-XT

#

can handle 160w

#

total

#

but you wont have a gpu so it's.... probably fine

#

also it's in a xbox 360 box anyways

#

you probably want to undervolt the cpu or smth

There isn't a single am5 itx board on the us market today that doesn't have a X+2+1 vrm config

Granted that doesn't account for specific amperage but it's not a healthy outlook if the demand is something over the vanilla spec

#

Esp. considering 2x30A @ 1.2V would get you some 72W to begin with which should be ample for a chip that should be locked on the stock power budget

I mean that said I may not know truly myself but there's a lot of numbers to say it's a good bit unlikely
