i dont think it's used in a psu though

#

afaik the only component in a pc that would normally have platinum is on a hdd? because it has a bit in the coating or whatever

empty rain
#

that explains everything lol

worthy meteor
#

You generally need to use better components for better efficiency, but that doesn't mean a 80+ platinum is always better than a 80+ gold unit, since that is only one efficiency rating that doesn't show the whole picture. There are 80+ gold units that meet or even exceed 80+ platinum efficiency requirements at certain load levels, but do not meet it at others, or the product is launched before they get the report for the efficiency rating so a unit could be advertised with a lower rating than it actually achieves.

#

Makes no difference to how good the psu actually is anyway

#

Platinum is worth maybe a couple dollars a month in saved power

#

At most

#

Takes years to pay back that difference if you aren't using the system at high power 24/7

mortal grail
#

The things you should care more about is safety

#

What's regarded as the cybernetics standards now

#

Gold vs platinum doesn't talk about this

#

Things like OVP, OCP, CEP etc

worthy meteor
#

if you go by spec, the difference at 100% load is 2%. But in reality the difference can be anywhere from the Gold unit being more efficient at 100% load, to at max the difference being 3% from bottom of gold to bottom of titanium

empty rain
mortal grail
#

Things that actually save your pc when things go to crap, safeties are much more important, and np

mortal grail
#

Which becomes a couple dollars a month

worthy meteor
#

And yea in reality what you care about is if those protection features work, how the protection features are set, and then smaller stuff like ripple and hold up time

mortal grail
#

At long running times for the pc

empty rain
mortal grail
worthy meteor
#

You can advertise say OPP (over power protection), then set it way higher than what its rated for, and the end result is our favorite EVGA W1 that can and will light itself on fire without being shutting itself off

worthy meteor
#

hey 130% on OCP is fine

#

170% or whatever it was though

mortal grail
#

I can't remember what it was now

#

It was insane that was for sure

#

I thought it was 130 adjusted to 110 later

#

But I could be wrong

empty rain
mortal grail
#

RMx is 130 iirc

#

And PGM is definitely no RMx

worthy meteor
#

looks like post-boom-fix made it 120%

#

lemme check pre-boom

empty rain
mortal grail
worthy meteor
#

oh right its opp that got changed not ocp, ocp was already ~120% previously, but OPP was ~130% pre-boom, set to ~116% post-boom

hoary zodiac
#

some...

#

or all of them

proud jackal
#

i had a psu fry my gpu before it sudoku'd itself

mortal grail
hoary zodiac
#

you're more likely to kill a pc from a bad psu than from overclocking

mortal grail
worthy meteor
#

with a sufficiently bad PSU, which is rare nowadays, but yes

hoary zodiac
#

avoid older model psus

#

CX Green, Thermaltake Smart, Seasonic S12iii, etc

#

and also Corsair CVs those aren't good either

worthy meteor
#

you want OCP to be a bit looser because OCP is more prone to spikes and was the cause for 30-series cards tripping PSUs that should've been just fine powering the cards

empty rain
worthy meteor
mortal grail
#

Nooo don't say rare

#

I'm trying to scare him

craggy shoal
#

Man PSUs before 2020 were crazy. You'd have people buying the worst 80+ Bronze PSUs because they were "a good value at $30 for a 500W 80+ Bronze PSU" and then you'd have people asking "why is my PC currently on fire?"

worthy meteor
#

okok

mortal grail
#

๐Ÿ’€

#

It happens ALL THE TIME obv

empty rain
hoary zodiac
#

it's rare if you don't buy the bad ones

mortal grail
#

Now come check out this 1600W ultra premium safe unit

having less sleep all the time and with all this information i'm worried if my brain will be on fire haha ๐Ÿ˜‚ @worthy meteor @mortal grail

what's going on here

worthy meteor

all you NEED to know is that efficiency rating is not everything

worthy meteor

#

noice

#

Felix my 7900X3D hasn't crapped out for like a week now lmao

empty rain
#

why do "techies" have sad face lol?

idle nexus
#

cuz of the face

#

when there's a BSOD

#

on windows

worthy meteor
#

classic windows bsod

idle nexus
#

(blue screen of death)

mortal grail
empty rain
worthy meteor
#

this thing

idle nexus
#

fun fact: on windows insider builds, it's a green screen of death lol

empty rain
#

this is good lol

mortal grail
#

Idk why we ever went to blue anyway

#

Should be red

#

Red scary

idle nexus
hoary zodiac
#

on linux it just craps out

idle nexus
#

I'm v sad about it

mortal grail
idle nexus
#

now I gotta use a real mouse & it's just not the same

hoary zodiac
idle nexus
#

my thumb needs to move around more

empty rain
hoary zodiac
#

it just hangs or goes to a black screen

idle nexus
#

I hate that setting on ubuntu

mortal grail
hoary zodiac
#

either that or it just doesn't start up

idle nexus
#

the turn screen black one

velvet summit
idle nexus
#

cuz it usually turns the screen black but the monitor is still on

hoary zodiac
#

most linux errors i get are startup errors

idle nexus
#

windows 7 bsod looks way scarier

hoary zodiac
#

and that's usually some stupid thing like an incorrect fstab entry

velvet summit
#

Idk if it was because it was on enterprise or ltsc or whatever or if something was modified to make it red

idle nexus
#

it's like low resolution blue with white font with a bunch of numbers & stuff

hoary zodiac
#

LTSC's still blue

#

oh win 7

idle nexus
#

I've seen it so many times lately trying to do this PYPrime 32b thing for hwbot

empty rain
#

nice deal i guess

hoary zodiac
#

don't get LPX

#

Vengeance is bad

idle nexus
mortal grail
#

Only vengeance bad

#

Anything else is ok

empty rain
mortal grail
#

Like literally anything

idle nexus
#

3200c16 mystery meat lol

mortal grail
#

Nah not even

hoary zodiac
#

even the cheapo rams are better than vengence

velvet summit
idle nexus
#

what CPU is this

#

lol

empty rain
velvet summit
#

That's where Corsair ddr4 goes

hoary zodiac
#

literally if you sort by price low to high and get the cheapest ram

#

it'll be better than vengence

empty rain
#

wow everyone saying no to vengece haha

idle nexus
#

hecked

mortal grail
velvet summit
#

They use low quality ram packages basically

hoary zodiac
#

(cheapest while having the same frequency and capacity don't get 2133 lol)

mortal grail
#

Wait

#

There lol

hoary zodiac
#

I've been in several tech servers

#

they've had differing opinions

empty rain
hoary zodiac
#

one constant is that they all hate vengence lpx

mortal grail
#

Lol

idle nexus
#

better deal but still not worth it lol

empty rain
#

vengence i noticed haha

#

sorry ๐Ÿ˜„

mortal grail
#

He needs 64gb gary

proud jackal
hoary zodiac
#

honestly if you just get the cheapest ram

velvet summit
mortal grail
#

Genuine use case

hoary zodiac
#

it'd be better

mortal grail
#

for 64gb

idle nexus
#

there's some really inexpensive Crucial memory iirc

empty rain
hoary zodiac
#

I wonder how cheap b-die is these days

velvet summit

I need 64gb for beamng
Half of my maps crash from oom ๐Ÿ˜ญ

DDR5 is so cheap now

hoary zodiac

ddr5 pricing?

mortal grail
#

Yep

hoary zodiac

ah heck it was ddr5

can't find the same ones i got on my pc currently

G.Skill trident Z 2x32gb 3200MHz

Copy this^

empty rain

but how am i gonna fit the ddr5

mortal grail
#

You can't

#

DDR5 won't work on your board

#

Only DDR4

idle nexus
#

woow

empty rain
empty rain
idle nexus
#

there's like 5 results for 32gb DIMMs on newegg lol

hoary zodiac
#

TridentZ is usually solid

idle nexus
#

for DDR4

mortal grail
#

Trident Z had 32gb sticks

idle nexus
#

my dad uses 2x32gb TridentZs I gave him

mortal grail
#

I'm very sure

idle nexus
#

lol

mortal grail
#

Ya

idle nexus
#

I had them ya

hoary zodiac
#

are there actually like

idle nexus
#

they're Hynix

hoary zodiac
#

bad kits

idle nexus
#

ehhh

hoary zodiac
#

except corsair

mortal grail
#

If not trident Z then something else

modern imp

#

not CJR... not DJR

#

MJR iirc?

#

3800c18

mortal grail
modern imp
#

You are better off just getting a DDR5 platform if you want to upgrade a ddr4 kit

hoary zodiac
#

yeah I usually just sort price low to high when getting ram

idle nexus
#

they exist

mortal grail
#

But he's right

modern imp
#

Like if you are on Zen3 it's pretty easy to sell that and nearly break even with alderlake and a heavily discounted b760 board

empty rain
proud jackal
#

whats a good kit of oc ram for ryzen 02dumb

mortal grail
#

Cheapest you can buy

modern imp
hoary zodiac
#

what happened to tridentz royal

#

I actually kinda dig the tacky aesthetics

mortal grail
#

Oh oops

hoary zodiac
#

although they look like crap next to all the other parts

rancid juniper
#

oh no...

worthy meteor
#

I would buy a set of trident z royal dummies as like a $20 display piece lol

hoary zodiac
#

lol

mortal grail
#

I still have elites I need to sell

worthy meteor
#

looks kinda cool on its own, that's about it

mortal grail
#

Those are next on my list

hoary zodiac
#

Imagine some british royal just have trident z on display in their palace

mortal grail
#

Old relics of my days exploring oc

modern imp
#

Basically for Zen4/5 if you have a board that can do 7800-8400 2:1 go get a good H24M kit
If you are in denial about 2:1 being faster or have a mid board just get the cheapest hynix kit possible

hoary zodiac
#

"next to the crown jewels are the trident z ddr4-3600 cl-16 used by prince william in his gaming pc"

mortal grail
#

Depends on the level of commitment

proud jackal
mortal grail
#

Synced is extremely easy tho

modern imp
mortal grail
#

It also costs more per GB relatively

#

So lower value prospect and extra steps

#

Just saying

idle nexus
#

like 8000mt/s ez

mortal grail
#

I'm not disagreeing with H24M, just saying there's degrees of effort and difficulty

idle nexus
#

8100 gotta play a tiny bit but works

#

8200 hard NO

#

lol

modern imp
idle nexus
#

also why is Zen 4 so weird with clockgen? it doesn't change memory frequency

modern imp
#

It got fixed with granite ridge but it was never backported

idle nexus
#

ah okay

mortal grail
idle nexus
#

cuz it was fighting me so hard that I didn't even keep trying

mortal grail
#

Dunno why that came up

#

That also makes the more valid point anyway

modern imp
mortal grail
#

X3D cares little about ram

#

Oh right

#

But even still

modern imp
mortal grail
#

X3D scales not nearly as much regardless

#

It does but not nearly as much

proud jackal
#

wanna come over and make my 9800x3d stable? uwu

idle nexus
#

what confuses the heck out of me

mortal grail
empty rain
#

Is dominator better than vergence ?

proud jackal
idle nexus
#

why is it when you run AVX512 stuff like ycruncher on Intel it goes to like 100C in less than a second but AVX512 on Zen 4 is at like 50C

modern imp
#

285K and OCF is the most fun I've had OCing in a long time

idle nexus
#

ig max effective clock is only like 49xxmhz

mortal grail
empty rain
mortal grail
#

Dominator is the same underneath btw

#

Just less people have bought it

empty rain
#

Then I'll ignore Corsair totally

idle nexus
#

it's new tho so that's something ig

mortal grail
#

That's-

#

Kind of ok

#

A little high side

idle nexus
#

I have always hated this RAM pose

#

like stop it you're gonna break it wth

mortal grail
#

I'd target 80-ish for 64

#

But it's new so

idle nexus
proud jackal
#

should i buy expo ram RooDumb

mortal grail

mortal grail
#

Because of the type of chips I can see, I could see it potentially working

#

But that's only because I can identify it

#

You can't do that on new kits, only used/purchased ones

#

Cos every brand draws from a pool of possible ram chips to use in their kits, typically a set of the same, and the way of knowing is by what the registered sticker on the physical kit has

#

So they could be samsung, hynix, micron, nanya etc

#

All possible options inside a ddr4 ram kit

#

From g.skill, corsair, kingston etc

#

In this case it's hynix which is often good for higher memory frequency (i.e 3600 is easier on them than others)

#

But that comes with no guarantee

wow thats plus point, although i wouldn't need any more than 64gb, that's perfect for me, but at least i don't have to order a cooler, but i might just order the cooler cuz it will make the pc look much better, rn i can't see anything inside as this noctua is half the size of my pc haha

Haha

empty rain
mortal grail
#

The lower you go, the more likely you are stable

#

Think of it like a curve

empty rain
mortal grail
#

Risk increases to a multiplicative degree the faster you go as it's putting more strain on the CPU memory controller

#

More GB, more MHz, less latency/sharper timings

#

All put more strain

empty rain
mortal grail
#

It's just all stuff you don't see in a book

#

Have to know the right places to find these things

A normal person would think "Oh my board supports 4000MHz, so I'll put 128gb of 4000MHz"

is it ok to put fake rgb rams just for the rgb or does it effect the other sticks performance? ๐Ÿ˜„

You could put an rgb fan on the noctua tho tbh

TL-B14-S is the same performance as a noctua fan

is it fine? 1 fan not running, since i didn't OC and noctua is OP i care to have the 4th one on

Yeah 3/4 working is fine

#

You should consider a splitter cable tho for it

Or a little fan hub

Very cheap like 5 quid

i will look for that

How do I make it so a program doesnโ€™t resize every time I boot up my computer? Like I want that program to open in the same spot every time and the same size.

Amazon honestly is a terrible place to buy electronics most of the time
Pretty much all diy electronic things like buck boost converters are all dropshipped and priced anywhere from like 2x-5x the cost

Meanwhile I'm just thinking how I can not fry those little things like that:

#

2 went up in smoke from 5 Volt

velvet summit
#

Do you know what the rating is for it

hollow barn
#

hang on

hollow barn
#

I have the page open from where I got it

velvet summit
#

Hmm

hollow barn
#

I'll translate the Product specs part rq

#

Product Descriptions

Feature:

Input voltage: 2V to 24V

Output voltage: DC 5V-28V

Maximum output current: 2A

Efficiency: 93%

Method of use

The module of the IN+ and - according to 2~24v, IN adjustment of the potentiometer can adjust the output voltage, output voltage is greater than the input voltage

Attention!

1).the input voltage should not exceed the maximum input voltage

2).the peak current output current is not more than TV university

Package: 10 PCS with Type-C USB port DC voltage regulator board

#

And Idk if the max output current is true. (But I did put a 1000ยตf capacitor on the output...)

velvet summit
#

You might have exceeded the current rating then potentially? For like half a second

hollow barn
#

With the cap?

velvet summit
#

Potentially

craggy shoal
#

Iโ€™ve achieved neckbeard level 100

velvet summit
#

That's the only way I could imagine it randomly blowing up several times in a row

hollow barn
# velvet summit Potentially

Because I once did 2 stages with the first one going from 5V input to 12V output and then the 12V input to 18V output once fried.

velvet summit
#

Hmm

#

Could have exceeded current with that as well idk

hollow barn
#

So it was just generaly not a great choice

rancid juniper
#

Morning wegg

hollow barn
#

The Power supply of what I was trying to replace says 200mA

#

Like I tested the device with a 18V power supply that I need for something else and it worked fine

velvet summit
#

Hmm

hollow barn
#

Well, I do have 20V Batteries w_kermitthink

velvet summit
#

18v 200ma is about 4 watts, which is about 5v1a

#

Theoretically still within spec

hollow barn
#

Well, I would get one that Overcompensates then ig

hollow barn
#

Like should It have a cooler for the Switching part?

mortal grail
#

Kinda looking like it'd make sense if I get a new commission in the next couple days

velvet summit
hollow barn
#

Idk if the 12V power supply is needed...

#

But I think I should start with 12V if possible and then use a Higher quality boost converter? (If any tips available pls tell)

velvet summit
#

Better efficiency and less amperage from higher voltage

hollow barn
velvet summit
#

Oh yeah another thing, you could technically use usb pd for this since it can get higher voltages, you might be able to get 18v straight from a usb pd brick

These GPU companies putting out like 2GB GPUs for like $3849371.99 just because it has tensor cores is goofy

#

Honestly just take the tensor cores off the GPUs and start developing better NPUs

#

"Why is Nvidia so expensive?" Just read what I said directly before this message

rancid juniper
#

Or or better yet, prioritize rasterization

#

All else comes second

craggy shoal
#

Honestly, also ray tracing

#

Nvidia advertised the nuts out of ray tracing and then nobody else (devs included) made it feasible nor noticeable

rancid juniper
#

I guess but you don't have that many games using RT after 6 years of it's introduction

#

Give me a card that can crunch through games easily, especially UE5 garbage

#

For a good price ofc

craggy shoal
#

Because nobody wants it, because people just say "yeah it just reduces my frame rate" and just leave it off anyways. There are some single player games that could make it look really good

#

Honestly just leave RT out in mainly MP games

#

But also yeah prioritize rasterization

rancid juniper
#

Problem with RT is that it's so dummy taxing that you can't run it at all in native unless you have a $9999 4090 or something. You'll always have to resort to upscaling and even then the game wouldn't look as crisp. I'm not taking that 5% visual uplift for -50% performance reduction

#

There are games where RT implementation is legit broken

#

Or looks worse than baked lighting lmfao

craggy shoal
#

I mean yeah I make an emphasis on RT, but I still think rasterization should be top-priority

rancid juniper
#

Yep

#

Now going back to arc, hopefully the b580 reaches RTX 4060ti or higher

craggy shoal
#

It's either devs optimize, or GPU manus should actually start making good GPUs
