Surely the series 3 will be better 
Naht: on Discord like once or twice a week
This guy: happens to be on Discord just in time ;)

Always
naht always lurkin
Imagine Intel actually going back to doing their business tier cpu skus instead of just shoving 5 cpus out the door and spitting in everyone's eye 
Hi
Cut like 10s off and it’s a masterpiece
the elevator:
Goes on for slightly too long
It takes too long
That was the point 😦
Smh
Don’t hate I ran for this 🥲
was this you running?
Yes lol
lol
Nice hustle
No running in the halls tho pls

I can finally show that I am married(actual rings cause issues, so I got silicone)
Honestly a cool idea. Id have a real ring then have a replacable ring/comfortable ring.
My real one is metal, and we agreed that I’d only wear it to events or stuff
Yeah thats smart
This is so much better
I also have 3 other colours to choose from as well
nice
what kind of metal?
I think he likes snow
You did the right thing. I would have done the same thing in that situation. I would have needed it more than her.
deez nuts happened
yea i just ended up buying a icloud locked one for dirt cheap (100% was stolen but whatever ($60 + shipping)) and took the screen from that
You mean deez nuts ONYO FACE
wId so would you reco the framework or nah?
What?
I can run down the stairs a lot faster than that. If that was my CPU I would have caught up.
i was responding to someone else’s message that related to that
well that certainly is a method of getting a replacement part LMFAO
it was 2 messages but i only hit reply on one of them
CHILL IM OVERWEIGHT RN
I'm over 250 pounds. The weight helps because gravity pulls you down the stairs faster
but yeah framework isnt bad
value isnt perfect, but if you can afford it, honestly supporting a buisness like that is pretty chill
always happy to see right for repair
SOMEONE BAN HIM FOR LIFE
yea i do like right to repair
peter griffin?!
Ur the admin tho 💀😭
Give this man a promotion
how much cheaper would a comparable laptop be?
like $200 cheaper perhaps
for the cheapest of the same performance laptop
ok so that’s not to bad extra
usually would have a plastic chassis though
That's how my old dog used to go down the stairs every morning
My BMI is 78 I think I’m kinda light for my size
Your knees won't thank you when that weight slams down on them when you are older
GPU cap of 7700S for FW16 is kinda sadge tho
workplace safety my friend
I almost fell 3 times for this stop hating on me 
I've had knee problems for a long time. I learned to be fast and gentle on them at the same time.
Smh risking ur life at old age for a tiktok like a teenager
We don't do that where I work
TIMEOUT
rip
damn why is everyone picking on naht today
It could be worse. He could be spamming deez nuts jokes again 
I have to drive to work now
I didn't know it was her in the video
Ok i’ll stop
I wasn't reading things when I responded to the video
I’m joking
Whats with the huh timeout means to stop with the jokes right 💀
Cuz they’re getting too far?
No its was just funny
Nah srsly speaking tho
Running down stairs might be more dangerous than running up
Insulting a discord mod means ban from the server smh my head ||/s||
How? I do it all the time in BO6 and I don't fall down
I mean that's not surprising
where you running to when you're running up the stairs
is there an escape helicopter
Yeah we were only able to do one take 🤣
sometimes I trip and fall down the stairs just walking
Class right as my prof is taking attendance
What is the best monitor I could get for $350, for gaming at 1440p?
skill issue
If you didnt fall down you'd be floating, stop cheating smh my head
Stretch it and get that $400 at Best Buy
Cant get an oled at 350 would have to bump upto 400-500 so would have to go ips thats under 200 or smth
one time I tripped down a stairs and landed on my feet at the bottom as a kid. Did not get hurt.
Center of gravity helped
But center of gravity goes higher as you grow up
i always had issues with stairs if im not constantly looking at the steps
ok, will stretch if need be because I am VERY sensitive to stuff like motion blurring/ghosting
Same
I can't breathe after going up the stairs
For me, this happens with escalators
I use to skip a step when going down stairs, then got lazy and stopped doing that as often
well... that's another issue 
Something about them throws off my balance
Wouldn't know how that monitor performs though. People are just hyping it up lol
omg I have a fear of escalators now. Every time I am in grand central station I feel like im gonna fall down the escalator is sooo long
Eh. I guess I will just use my current monitor as a baseline for the specs I need
how yall so bad with stairs and escalators
i can navigate my whole house blindfolded
including the basement with no railings
Acer XB273G, it only needs 1440p. Everything else about it is good enough.
the tunnel is so trippy
Hey, my wife is terrible with them
She’s in a wheelchair
iirc OLED is like second best apart from very specific monitors with funni backlight strobing tech (idk if any 1440p ones would be <$350 tho)
I can make that joke, you can’t
entering the warp zone
It just needs to match the performance of the Acer XB273G
I tried running down them once when trying to catch a train and man I had a headache after that
💀
She isnt going fast enough then
IPS with 1 ms GTG should be good enough
i havent done cycling in a while (also i fear death more now) but i used to love riding my bike down staircases
Dont be getting caught up with marketed perf, look at RTings or Monitor Unboxed for monitor info
I know the stuff to look out for but I havent looked at what current monitors are good. So cant really recommend much rn
yeah I got bit by both today
monitor I had to return was straight up not updating consistently
so everything was choppy
Like, buggy VRR?
maybe. but also blacks smeared so bad it made text hard to read
I felt like I bought a LCD straight out of year 2k
RTings downplayed that issue pretty bad too
Last part sounds like VA. All VA panels apart from the very expensive ones have poor pixel response times, esp black to grey/color (turning pixel on) response times.
I wonder if there are even any VA penels being produced that have good response times anymore. It was basically a specific Samsung panel that was pretty insane for a VA panel, but it was like for Samsung's 2020 SuperUltrawide stuff or smth of sorts. Prolly was killed for other stuff that would be high end, like QD-OLED.
only decent VA I have seen is my 40 inch 4k Samsung TV
it doesnt have the issues I had with the LG VA
I have a g32qc VA and blacks/reds annoy me
red seems the worst especially in fast moving games
va's are fine as long as you're directly in front and not off axis
VAs can be fine. The one I returned was anything but.
well, certainly not as good as ips
i like being able to look at a screen at nearly any angle and have it still look decent
I am just super annoyed at the marketing bullcrap rn.
aren't super expensive VAs near IPS pricing anyways
I was planning on upgrading most of my PC during Black Friday, what is my best option for a processor?
Also what channel should I talk about this in?
If Newegg still has 9800x3d bundles in stock 
#building-and-recc-chat would be better
theo bought all of them
Intel wifi still good at least
I also have a pretty good gpu, so I mainly want a good processor and motherboard
<@&525119001324683264> whoever is available - if you can help ^
Guys…
Do i torture myself with elden ring or start playing sekiro and still end up torturing myself
both at the same time
finish elden ring
Third play thru rn
dlc included?
Nah second for dlc
its fine
(Reference to one of her lines)
Still dre
I bought it just to support those devs. I have it on game pass but they deserve it, so good
game gives you a good wolloping though
FR those invisible things that run at you are so damn hard to kill

Best to jump up on something and shoot them
I have to use like 2 mags of smg and a mag of my ak to kill it
if you can
yeah I found it has trouble reaching you when youre on certain places
What do mean 💀 there is no context for this
Ohhh did u play that new stalker game
@opaque sedge bought AMD after 11 years
Ic… so do u feel dirty cuz of intel or amd?

dont worry theo, give nvidia a few more years and you can buy nvidia cpu
Intel saying they don't care about consumer cpus is wild
As if we didn't already know lol
Intel has been targetting businesses for years. That's why when you go to your local library you'll see a Core 2 Duo sticker
Except they also don't do the business cpus anymore 
No more Pentium and Celeron, no low end skus to be seen
I mean there's still the T sku
I guess
lmao
You know, like a 12500T performing the same as a 12100F (in my experimenting
does T stand for throttled?
Actually really nice though if you can get a second-hand micro PC with one of those CPUs and use it for a low-powered server
Stands for tiny or something. Besically a cut down version of the normal cpu for lower cost applications
It's Intel so probably actually stands for something like "ultra-low power"
fair fair
"Power Optimized Lifestyle" apparently
35W TDP type shii
Apparently according to rumors there isn't going to even be an Ultra 5 T sku yet
bruh 💀
"We don't care about consumers" okay I guess goodbye to business-grade micro PCs
like how
I guess we're just getting bigger now lmao
The only thing the rumors say are non lettered and F sku Ultra 5s 
I wish AMD had a 35W TDP CPU fr. The AMD CPUs I'm using in my servers are all 65W and it's annoying when you have multiple servers 🫠
Are they even making an Ultra 3?
Just make an Ultra 1 at this point
Just complete garbage CPUs
The possible 265T and 285T will have a tdp of 35w
As they always have (talking about TDP)
Probably still won't get them lol. I'd like to try a 14500T though if that's a thing
Are living room pcs a thing?
Yeah I want 14 cores just to host Minecraft servers (I need more memory before I do this, not CPU power)
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/236780/intel-core-i5-processor-14500t-24m-cache-up-to-4-80-ghz/specifications.html
Intel® Core™ i5 processor 14500T (24M Cache, up to 4.80 GHz) quick reference with specifications, features, and technologies.
They had an Ultra 3 for Meteor Lake 
Yk how people have consoles hooked up with their tv in the living room do pc lovers or console haters opt for a pc instead?
They were first called HTPCs (Home Theatre PC) and they ran Windows until they died off (around like 2016). They're kinda being brought back with Bazzite OS (fork of Steam OS)
You need an AMD GPU for Bazzite OS though (I think Intel is gaining support for it now could be wrong though)
The only thing I can find is a rumor from August about an Ultra 3 for Arrow Lake
So basically a 265T in performance. It'll just have fewer cores than a 265T
My testing lol: 3700X = 12100F = 12500T
9800X3D
For the trade-in deal, can I trade in an old gpu and cpu to get a new cpu?
I have an old gpu, but I don't need to trade to get a new one
doubt it peaks at 92w
probably 110w im guessin
Intel® Core™ i9 processor 14900T (36M Cache, up to 5.50 GHz) quick reference with specifications, features, and technologies.
106w peak for an i9

make sure your old gpu is listed
"IT'S AN OLD TV"
It'll probably still perform like an i5 or i7
yea
probably hits 5.5ghz on 2 cores
aint no way it can hit all core with its miniscule power target
oh
You show me this and I think top-end and overly power hungry
and that's probably what it is
welcome to the red side 
lmao yep
a friend built a new pc and it was turned off for a week
when he starts the pc
fans turn on
but doesnt show anything no bios nothing
any idea ?
classic no post
psu/ram ?
can be anything
does the motherboard have any diagnostic lights?
no

use one ram stick and test it on each slot

if that one ram stick dont work, use the other one and try again
if pc no posty uh reseat gpu or somethin
if that don't worky take take off + reinstall cmos battery

still no post???
SLAP IT
yk what
he fixed the problem
just wanted to know the cause
buy a laptop for school
thanks btw
and focus on my life
the ryzen 4070 ?
I think it's the end of an era
idk I'm tempted to do it

still playing fh1 ?
I forgor ill get back to playing it soon
BASS ARENA
I got the case of: "Having so many games installed that I barely have the time to complete one, and end up forgetting it"
pro tip : turn wifi off
I lost all drive to 100% a game
just not possible
even the most addicting game can't bring to 100%
so true
yee, atta boy. Should last for a while
did you return intel
Nah he gonna find a reason to upgrade
And spend 1000 in a new mobo and cpu

I'd still be on a z690 ddr4 if I hadn't won a 13700k from an intel comp. decided to upgrade everything for it lol
Is there a better like trade place for gpus? Facebook and my area are eh lol
HWS(Hardware Swap) on reddit/discord
Curious, does NewEgg update their ETA Delivery date based on what the courier says? 
yes
but the courier is often not accurate in my experience
in and outside of newegg
Doesnt seem to be the case for me. Least, from what I can see. I got a order that got into my province the other day, and tracking says delivery date has been updated, but nothing has changed on NewEgg.
pretty much nobody estimates delivery dates accurately in my experience 💀
you can look at the tracking number with the courier and see if it's any different
I did. They dont provide a date.
ah
i guess it's just the delivery standard speed then
So then if its technically still on time, should be between today and the 3rd of december.
Thank you! Trying to get into a smaller case but having issues with gpu but I think I found something that’ll work. Just need a new psu now

He's waiting for that one firmware update that will change the tides in favor of intel
The wait is over: Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards release dates revealed https://gagadget.com/en/535365-the-wait-is-over-nvidia-geforce-rtx-50-series-graphics-cards-release-dates-revealed/
Hmmmm
I'm itching for some news even though I'm too broke to buy a gpu

forgor how intense pistol whip is for vr and me being out of shape
also i need to save up for valve index, windows mixed reality no longer gonna work by 2026
@dusk knot buy me valve index plz 
will give 3 theo coins
my gpu will be 2 generations old when these release 
4 gens if you wanna include refreshes
eh actually 3 I mean
THEY BRICKED MY REVERB G2 !!!😡
wait really?
its gonna be
why are they retiring mixed reality?
cause no moneys for microsoft
Your 3080 is still amazing
if your pc doesnt have the mixed reality update already installed for windows, you cant use the reverb g2 or any other headset that uses windows mixed reality portal
if you have it still, then you can still use the headset till 2026 then it go byebye
They SHOULD release the SOURCE CODE for WMR since they no longer need it. Talk about greedy!!! @random osprey
the second pc i built that was specifically meant for my driving sim and vr doesnt have the vr update from windows so i cant use my vr on it, i have to use it on this pc instead
lucky i even have the update on this one otherwise mine would be a brick
Ill give you $20 bitcoin
And all of my theo coin
$30 bitcoin and no theo coin
I'll give potato
whats up nerds
Depends on gpus if they’re 1440p worthy… tree fiddy

Man these new intel chips are rump
ASRock Arc B580 has been leaked Amazon has leaked Intel’s next-generation desktop GPU. So the rumors are true—Intel is indeed launching the new series this year. In fact, we already have a picture of the very first model listed on Amazon. The ASRock Arc A580 Steel Legend has been fully revealed. The card is now […]
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
they can literally just put it next to something that looks like a butt
steel legend arc lookin good
or could be saying that the boss is a butt cause its a hard fight
DUUUUDEEEE
no bruh
🎉
Intel doing a Christmas release
lmfao asrock challenger model lookin better than mine
they look soooo goood
So 700 class will have >16GB it seems
Really hoping they hit like, 4070 numbers
Then run low end market
That would just be chefskiss
4070 like intel card for $<500
if it can top out at 400 then its already a winner
fr
Would be negative margins by that point
cpu may not look good but they gotta pull with the GPU
their 1st generation was already impressive
We don't know what they'd make or lose out of this
This expensive tsmc 3nm iirc?
not sure
👀
We do know however that they really need to start squeezing everything out of their products 
It's worth maybe $20? Lol
Need to make shareholders happy and make them forget about Qualcomm
Here's some good context, the 4090 chips cost $238

And this was 2 years ago
It is because of how high end it is
dayum
By comparison a 4080 pcb can cost some $300
will battlemage launch this december tho?

Give the 770 more juice intel come on
So something is in the pipeline and otw
Intel, gimme a 24GB VRAM gpu for $400 thank you
i gotta see them battle it out in the value card market
imagine they pulled that off
sounds more of a profit loss for em tho
16GB vram
Budget
I’m TELLING YOU
My only concern is that AMD is also going to be going for a similar market so they'll be cannibalizing similar demographics while Nvidia doesn't even bother
arc cards are the future
A770's are unironically really good for encoding/editing rigs
yea both companies aren't focusing on the top end magnum opus cards
Their issue has always been drivers, raw performance was there
^^^
Hopefully Intel Battlemage doesn't REQUIRE rebar

Intel® Graphics Driver 32.0.101.6078/32.0.101.5736 (Latest as of date)
There are some few deeps in some areas because the CPU wasn't strong enough. but this card really shines with AMD X3D processors. I wish I have one though. ಥ_ಥ

big numbers go brrr very satisfying
The ai thing is working now 💀
problem is that 1st gen arc needed rebar to perform well whilst AMD and Nvidia can run fine without it
@rancid juniper I’m hoping for a more powerful card between the a550, and the a380.
Rebar is supposed to be a perf boost option, not something you needed by default
Battlemage is second gen right
Yea
probably might be better than that
Intel Arc is a brand of graphics processing units designed by Intel. These are discrete GPUs mostly marketed for the high-margin gaming PC market. The brand also covers Intel's consumer graphics software and services.
Arc competes with Nvidia's GeForce and AMD's Radeon lines. The Arc-A series for laptops was launched on March 30, 2022, with the ...
oh yeah I forgot I have that disabled lol
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I should probably update my bios
but I reverted last time because my performance went down after with the new bios and made my cpu heat up way more
I think this is wild
Intel® Arc™ Pro A60 Graphics quick reference with specifications, features, and technologies.
The top workstation card has Less vram than their top gaming card lmao
oh
understandable
You gotta admit
You haven’t seen a bad looking arc card
Every single design is banger
idk I remember one of the asrock ones looking pretty bad
this one, I mean its alright but its weird
cooler was probably overkill
The single fan a380 is the only bad one ini
give this guy a FACTS
😂
what is that branding?? *Mysterious *
This the guy who created that design 100%
now we got this
Pog, ME3 ending
rumor i know, ok ill stop pushing battlemage shilling
4070 super competitor for $300 when
2026
That would most likely fall to nvidia themselves with the 5060ti

8GB 5060ti

money
They said it was restocked 
as soon as the stock label is presented, it disappears immediately with this cpu
Oh if only there was a competitor willing to put 3D V-Cache in their own CPUs stares
LOL
loser
I'm confused? What is the issue
Like, did you scratch as in scrape it up or scratch as in you had an itch
Ah

9999CL99
buy all to test
i have all
you have open bench now
based on what I have watched. 6400 CL32, 7200CL34 if you can get it to be stable without any issues. Mostly low Cas letency modules
I'm not really concerned as long as IP65 or better

yeah it just looks bad but at that price it does not matter at all
The cheapest that you can run synced
Which since you bought the hero, the free corsair kit (Ew corsair)
Use them all at once
youre right ill mix kits

Just a vague calculation that doesn't mean anything compared to the die itself

That's a cool kid

Lol

I'm old enough to remember when these were just a word with different fonts on each letter wth
the second one is wild
I had to skip it. I really had no idea what I was supposed to do there
PWM splitter. You get power directly from PSU molex & PWM (how fast fans spin at various temperatures) from the motherboard without overloading the motherboard header. You might have to use two tho. the biggest one I've seen is 6 fans.
when they make the captchas too confusing for humans to understand that means AI has become too smart
That better not be pineapple
I think it means just to click on the pizza
afik, it could be anything lol
finish the Alaska puzzle was easier at least
This is kinda neat ig. I've also heard of thermalrite unlike the 6 fan cable version I use https://www.amazon.com/Case-Controller-Support-Computer-Splitter/dp/B0BP66DBR8?
thumbnail looks like a DIP IC lol
or as the brilliant minds that sold it to me so wonderfully called it, "YAODHAOD PWM Fan Splitter, 4-Pin . . . Cable" https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09XMGV3FG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
【PWM Fan Splitter】: Use the 4 pin Molex interface of the chassis power supply to supply power for 6 computer fans, which can reduce the load on the motherboard and increase the life of the motherboard. The 2-pin pwm female header ensures temperature control and speed regulation functions. There a...
actually don't buy that
I had to splice on a fan extension cable to the PWM side & heatshrink it again cuz the crappy connection fell off
lol
& just yesterday I had to bend the little metal craps that keep the molex connection inside the plastic housing because it fell off too
which of course means first I had to turn on a PSU & test to make sure I didn't put it on upside down lol
also the little connection things are terrible & have to be guided into the molex connection
lol that's what $9.99 gets me apparently
I love nexusmods
me like 2 hours ago: "dammit I hate how S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 makes me wait for shader compiling everytime I open it."

Intel chips be like: AAAAAHHH I'M DYING
7900X3D wants to work this week I can't explain it lol
i cant imagine the temps when running that
did it burn the substrate or like leave burn marks on the contacts?
The SSD died just a couple days ago, presents the same symptoms the 7950X3D system had
Asus style
Safari sucks
I don't know if it actually melted but, it got so bad that more than 2 usb had me losing all usb connection if I did anything that was a workload
But the SSD that started it all presents the same symptoms if I plug it into any pc
isn't 1.3 VSOC hard limit by AGESA?
lol I have like 1.255 set
Asrock does whatever it wants
Maybe the bios is doing it in
dude I set 1.255 for VDDQ & it just ignores me
Mine stays solid 1.26 if I do 1.25 set
Those seem fine
But vsoc should not be that high
Maybe it blipped or misread
If it's doing that a lot tho...not healthy
Fr
Anyway
I rma'd the 7950X3D
It got a full refund
Launch price money back, I dumped it into a 9800X3D
I've been using the 9800X3D for a few days now
On and off tho cos still messing with some stuff
are amd cpus much better than intel this round?
damn I should really start not ripping pieces off my CPUs lol
way better
like embarassing
No competition
9800X3D's only competition rn is 7800X3D & it crushes it lol
so 13th gen isn't as good as equiv amd?
by like up to 26% sometimes iirc
Nothing wrong with a good 13th gen
But it can't compete
like brand new 13/14th gen & installed on a board where latest microcode is already there
Bios updates and microcode fixes have pushed it way down from competing with the AM5 X3D parts
9800X3D also has no heat issues
How long has it been felix?
You will want to update
over a year now I believe
Degrading IA VR line leading to oxidation of the tantalum nitride layer in the IMC(?)
It's a slow burning candle
ah
btw Felix, not that you'd care at this point or that I'd expect you to, but I took apart this stupid 7900X3D for the 17th time & the contact frame was kinda loose... so maybe my issue was just poor contact? probably not but I'll enjoy my blissful ignorance for a few more days until this thing craps out again
You might be fine now, but later, not a chance
well I suppose I could stop playing WoW for a few minutes
I destroyed my award winning cable management to test the PSU
Poor contact could explain a lot
Do you not use a DD frame
idr how to upgrade bios/microcode atm though
from my mobo manu right?
Ye
or there wasn't when I built this at least
which mobo do I have.. hmm
Makes sense, they don't need it
Btw if your fps drops a bit but you're otherwise fine, then that's normal
so I got some tin snips & a dremel & made a non-X3D frame work
well tried to make it work
If your pc turns unstable after updating, then claim cpu warranty
results have been mixed
rip and I already experience drops with this 6650xt
oh rihgt. I jumped on the white strix train for mobo
I swear your pc is just cursed for amd stuff lmao
it wasn't really supposed to end up looking like this emoji but oh well 👿
I wonder if this was the reason tho
which is insanse because nothing in this pc is the same as when I had that amd card.. except my PSU
at this point, I've changed so many cables & other crap
well and my ssd
Occam's razor
as hard as it is to accept, I don't think I'll never get a definitive answer. ig I don't deserve a blue sad face next to my name anymore
I think you do
Also
The role means nothing lmao
lol you get um... random pings from naht lol
so with the bios.. I know sometimes you have to do certain bios in increments right? Do I need to do that with this?>
I should disable mention on that role
Once it boots back up to windows it's done
oh you can ping all the techies?
Do this and I will request forks delete u
lol naht is all powerful
lol
I think you could use motherboard software to update in windows (which is sus but apparently works?)
would you trust windows tho
lol if only we had a viable option
Isn't it just
insert usb
go into bios
find the update option
select the right file
wait for it to finish and DO NOT PRESS ANYTHING
let it reboot
new bios
or is it a gigabyte motherboard
or computer off but power still on; insert usb with BIOS in root folder into usb port labeled "BIOS"; press whatever button does flashback; wait for lights to do stuff that says good to go
oh he's got flashback
I assume so since it's 13th gen but stranger things have happened ig
I think both my Z690s & Z790 all have it but not entirely sure
I know Z790 does
but no idea if it's standard
oh yeah that's fair
would be weird if a Z board didn't have flashback
I don't like buying B boards unless they have flashback
Z690 Dark has a little usb port inside the case & comes with a tiny 15gb USB that's to use for drivers & BIOS
or at least that's what I've always used it for lol
I mean I probably won't need it 9/10 times but you never know
heck I think Z690 Dark gives you the option to have at least 3 if not 4 different BIOS at a time
I didn't even know it was the bios unless I flashed it out of desperation
How do bioses corrupt anyways
how the heck did EVGA die? like dammit their cards were great. the motherboards were great
at least we have Sapphire for AMD fans
I don't actually know tbh
maybe if you try to flash with a really unstable overclock by accident
It's a laptop so it's even more peculiar
their PSUs were great too
well most of them that were like >/=850w lol
true
these days MSI's stepping in where EVGA left
I actually haven't heard anything bad about MSI psus
my dad is using a 530w EVGA PSU I got for Prime Day for like $24 or something silly
he's using 5600G with no dGPU for his office stuff so it probably never even hits like 50% load
yeah that's fine tbh
wait jk
I usually don't like using older model psus for modern systems
it's a 510w EVGA BP lol
oh
I got it in 2021
they were so confident it in its performance that it only has a 3 year warranty lmao https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BPCN23NT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
EVGA 710 BP, 80+ BRONZE 700W + 10W, 3 Year Warranty, Power Supply 100-BP-0710-K1 Preciion is power, as the EVGA BP power supplies add another affordable option to EVGA's 80PLUS Bronze-certified lineup, while reducing the overall length to 120mm - EVGA's shortest ATX power supply to-date! The BP p...
yeah C tier
Good thing I'm updating bios. Realized I xmp wasn't enabled lol
Spec C tier but still decent
tbh I only got it to run tests on custom loop crap
I mean for $24 that's a steal
even for a gaming pc
as long as you don't use up too much power that is
maybe a 4060ti or something
It's reasonably safe for a budget gaming pc
It's hard to find a psu that won't explode at $50
heck luckily it hasn't had issues for my dad's PC so it worked out great to me
what's weird is EVGA PSUs are the only ones I have that if power blinks for a second, they don't turn off the computer
hmm
like the Thermaltake PSUs & the one Enermax one I have will shut off & have to reboot & what not
EVGA stays on even when it loses power for like 1-2 seconds oddly lol
maybe it's something to do with how they wired the capacitors? Idk I'm not an electrician
