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
that explains everything lol
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.
yeah thought so
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
i ordered it
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
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
wow amazing explanasion, thank you!
Things that actually save your pc when things go to crap, safeties are much more important, and np
Ya so running time makes it like a few cents a day
Which becomes a couple dollars a month
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
At long running times for the pc
no idea what these are sorry ๐
That's ok, that's why just buying what I'm suggesting will cover those things you don't need to worry about
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
Or PGM
130% go brrrr POP
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
ye i care about that more than saving a new cents/dollars
yep thats why i am relieved and happy with the purchase, stress free ๐

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
i had a psu fry my gpu before it sudoku'd itself
Is it bad that I was mixing up OPP and OCP for a minute there too
you're more likely to kill a pc from a bad psu than from overclocking

with a sufficiently bad PSU, which is rare nowadays, but yes
maybe lol
avoid older model psus
CX Green, Thermaltake Smart, Seasonic S12iii, etc
and also Corsair CVs those aren't good either
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
so basically having bad psu can fry some of the parts such as cpu or ram, even without touching the overclocking, bios settings etc?
Mhm
With a sufficiently bad PSU, which is rare nowadays, but yes
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?"
okok
haha lol
it's rare if you don't buy the bad ones
so whats OCP
Now come check out this 1600W ultra premium safe unit
ALL THE TIME*
*once in a thousand probably
$300
Over current protection
You can read this if you're interested in some of the details

having less sleep all the time and with all this information i'm worried if my brain will be on fire haha ๐ @worthy meteor @mortal grail
what's going on here
all you NEED to know is that efficiency rating is not everything
some PSU fun
why do "techies" have sad face lol?
classic windows bsod
(blue screen of death)
Blessings of the face
yeah i was thinking that hahaha
this thing
fun fact: on windows insider builds, it's a green screen of death lol
this is good lol
my 4-year-old trackball mouse broke
on linux it just craps out
I'm v sad about it
Does it make a poop sound on the way out
now I gotta use a real mouse & it's just not the same
nah it's pretty boring actually
my thumb needs to move around more
yeh, they want us not to be scared if our pc are dying
it just hangs or goes to a black screen
I hate that setting on ubuntu
Bah, I won't go linux then
either that or it just doesn't start up
the turn screen black one
I remember there being a red screen of death on my school's windows 7 PC before but I have no clue why it was red 
cuz it usually turns the screen black but the monitor is still on
most linux errors i get are startup errors
windows 7 bsod looks way scarier
and that's usually some stupid thing like an incorrect fstab entry
Idk if it was because it was on enterprise or ltsc or whatever or if something was modified to make it red
it's like low resolution blue with white font with a bunch of numbers & stuff
I've seen it so many times lately trying to do this PYPrime 32b thing for hwbot
nice deal i guess
don't get LPX
noooo
wow really, i always thought vengece was the best ones haha
Like literally anything
3200c16 mystery meat lol
Nah not even
even the cheapo rams are better than vengence
Look at the opposite end of the scale
what really, why is vengence that bad ๐
That's where Corsair ddr4 goes
literally if you sort by price low to high and get the cheapest ram
it'll be better than vengence
wow everyone saying no to vengece haha
hecked
I was just talking about this in #tech-deals-discussion
They use low quality ram packages basically
(cheapest while having the same frequency and capacity don't get 2133 lol)
yeah i just thumbed up your message there
one constant is that they all hate vengence lpx
better deal but still not worth it lol
He needs 64gb gary
honestly if you just get the cheapest ram

Genuine use case
it'd be better
for 64gb
there's some really inexpensive Crucial memory iirc
and i'm from UK ๐
I wonder how cheap b-die is these days
I need 64gb for beamng
Half of my maps crash from oom ๐ญ
Not nearly enough to be worth it
DDR5 is so cheap now
ddr5 pricing?
Yep
shame
ah heck it was ddr5
can't find the same ones i got on my pc currently
Look on ebay, fb marketplace
r/Hardwareswap
yeah i'm checking fb marcket as we speak
but how am i gonna fit the ddr5
woow
yeh i love the look of this one and my current ones are this
ye ik
there's like 5 results for 32gb DIMMs on newegg lol
TridentZ is usually solid
for DDR4
Trident Z had 32gb sticks
my dad uses 2x32gb TridentZs I gave him
I'm very sure
lol
Ya
I had them ya
are there actually like
they're Hynix
bad kits
ehhh
except corsair
If not trident Z then something else
Not cheap
Corsair honestly is the only really bad egg in the mix these days
You are better off just getting a DDR5 platform if you want to upgrade a ddr4 kit
yeah I usually just sort price low to high when getting ram
they exist
Just clarifying, this doesn't apply to what you're doing @empty rain
But he's right
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
yeah i understand, i have plans to upgrade to ddr5 pc
whats a good kit of oc ram for ryzen 
Anything hynix 4 u
Cheapest you can buy
Are you pushing 2:1
Died with the dummies that loved them
Oh oops

although they look like crap next to all the other parts
oh no...
I would buy a set of trident z royal dummies as like a $20 display piece lol
lol
I still have elites I need to sell
looks kinda cool on its own, that's about it
Those are next on my list
Imagine some british royal just have trident z on display in their palace
Old relics of my days exploring oc
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
"next to the crown jewels are the trident z ddr4-3600 cl-16 used by prince william in his gaming pc"
Or just H16M/A and just run synced with a day worth of tuning/testing rather than a week
Depends on the level of commitment
i dont get mobo till friday so idk 
Synced is extremely easy tho
H24M is trivial to get running at 8000 on a good board
It also costs more per GB relatively
So lower value prospect and extra steps
Just saying
have you gotten >8100mt/s to run on Zen 4? it seems like AGESA or something blocks it
like 8000mt/s ez
I'm not disagreeing with H24M, just saying there's degrees of effort and difficulty
I'm going to be real if you are buying zen5x3d you clearly don't care about value whatsoever anyway regardless
also why is Zen 4 so weird with clockgen? it doesn't change memory frequency
AMD messed up the MRC for 8200-8800 iirc on raphael
It got fixed with granite ridge but it was never backported
ah okay
Never mentioned Zen 5 X3D once
cuz it was fighting me so hard that I didn't even keep trying
Because theo was asking about a kit? And there was a photo of zen5x3d?
It still does
wanna come over and make my 9800x3d stable? 
what confuses the heck out of me
Pay me in 285K's and I might
Is dominator better than vergence ?

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
285K and OCF is the most fun I've had OCing in a long time
ig max effective clock is only like 49xxmhz
Not that price
nvm just realized, it's 4x16
Oh ok
Then I'll ignore Corsair totally
it's new tho so that's something ig
marginally better from Newegg https://www.ebay.com/itm/384924382983?
should i buy expo ram 
Eh kinda ok
@idle nexus I responded to your last tag a bit ago
ah heck one second
Getting better but he likes rgb
well why didn't ya say so lol https://www.ebay.com/itm/176538235744?
Also @proud jackal go ahead and buy more pc parts

Iโve got a not the greatest pc
Getting there
Also he's british
1xxx I have an MSI Gaming X 1080ti, two MSI Gaming X Trio 1080ti, & a broken MSI Gaming X 1080ti. None is 8gb tho. 2xxx I only have an EVGA SC2 2080ti that my son uses & also is not 8gb lol
I take it you wouldnโt take $100 for any of those
...
5700/XT
you got no gpu?
lol we're not supposed to talk about this on newegg server
Nah, the prebuilt only comes with a 8500g
OOF
Iโve been looking like crazy for one
aint those processors have like some limited pcie stuff going on?
I only got it cuz it was $450
@empty rain https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235799551150
Cheapest I could see with RGB
jeez on ebay.co.uk it's all Corsair memory

ah
Oof 16gb ddr5
Iโm going to upgrade as I can afford it

wtf
Upgrades in order: PSU~>motherboard~>cpu~>nvme~>case

Iโm gonna get myself a @sinful blade for a case

Whatโs nice is itโs already am5 so Iโm chillin

What embardo
emburgo
You can buy more pc parts
borga
Since I have a pc now
Oh yeah
who are you?
When's that happening

Who what

is this good? with my small knowledge i know that Samsung makes the best SSD @mortal grail
madness
Once upon a time many years ago they would've been yeah
Now? Don't touch them
oh they become that bad
Samsung have a bad history with their pro SSD's, bad warranty service
It's a better idea to get something like

Oh mb
It's ok
Agree with this one
@sweet phoenix are you gaming
finally someone suggested an UK site ๐
I'm not :(
๐ฆ
At work for another 10 minutes
That is unfortunate
Could also do 2x t500 at ยฃ100
@empty rain you can trust @worthy meteor and @sweet phoenix they're both really good
just last year, 990 pros were killing themselves because of firmware bugs
yikes
Fixed now with firmware updates but samsung's reputation has fallen a lot
thanks ๐
Iโve been eyeing the patriot lite
For a quite replacement nvme
$48 for 1TB gen 4
so brand wise WD and teamgroup are the current best? for ssd
Vega
That one would be HELLA FUN
go get it ๐
not really, it's all dependent upon the components inside again
Teamgroup has solid budget options
so then i should get the specific models you guys suggested right
Can you fly me to america first
nah but i can fly you to the moon
Great let's go
Yea recommendations are based off what we know at the moment about the components inside, our recommendations apply only to the model and not the brand
ask elon tusk
thank you i appreciate it ๐
sometimes manufacturers change hardware too and that will also invalidate what we say
You're welcome
yes i understand totally
To the moon!
good, hdmi sucks anyways 

no way the rtx 970
i can fix her
Jawa has cheaper
then buy on jawawa
๐ฟ
you can buy friends for cheap?
lmao
6900 XT can generate like 16 SD images per minute with Zluda, vs like 5 or so with DirectML lol.
the only one that came with clothes one haha ๐ @mortal grail the 1st one

thanks. they're better than g.skill trident?
price is really good though
Riptide is a fun racing game
the kingston fury beast price is really good
Although 2...
i still remember playing those on mobile way back
As good, in a way better yeah
will get the fury beast. btw this one is 3600mhz, so is it alright? you mentioned i shouldn't get 3600mhz, but if you say it's good then i will get it
Tridents remove their own heatsinks
I say it's not bad yeah
You can manually change it to 3200
So it'll still run fine
yeah but should i try running it at 3600?
cap
You could try if you want
Wait whatโฆ.
Thatโs what I seeโฆ.
nah they changed it last second
You see lolol

so essentially
ok
i didn't see lunchly anywhere and found out it had mold
YOU
until i went to one market
AMERICAN
and saw it
Nuts
๐

picked it up because i wanted to see for myself if it had mold
and then i ate it
Im sorry to say this but... You're going to end up like those enemies from the Last of Us
๐
i'm using my body as an experiment
if i do die, i will say that lunchly isn't good even if it didn't have mold
XD
I looked at the 3600 kit, yeah it's a hynix set, you could try 3600 to see if it works
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 man you're amazing, LinusTechTip+++ ๐ thank you so much for all your help, i'm grateful ๐
So what kind of games are the stalker series?
and i ordered it as well
btw if it doesn't work, lets say it wasn't hynix then what will happen? is it like i will get less speed, less fps etc?
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
ah i see but the ram or anything else won't get damaged due to that right?
It could affect your windows install
Depending how bad
Anything from a couple command prompt scans to fix, all the way to complete reinstall
So yeah
yeh thats fine, i can deal with that
3200 is much safer lol
i reinstall windows often i mean i used to but now i'm too lazy
but at work i used to reinstall windows 10 times a day, for customers i mean, i used to work in tech department of a big retail company, but i'm not quartar of the techie as you are ๐
Haha
what about 3400 instead
yeh
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
oh it make sense totally
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"
yeh ofc, the stuffs that shows up after testing, it would be nice to learn how to test components
Absolutely
Ram for DDR4 is fairly straightforward
VT3 or TM5 Anta777 are the two widely accepted picks these days
what are these
^Anta777 tutorial
^VT3 program
It's http btw without a digital certificate btw, but the program is real
They use that program to calculate the longest pi digits
Stuff you read in the news every so often, this is the program they use
And it has a stress tester for parts called VT3, very thorough
wow very confusing
Ya it takes a bit of messing with to learn it
you understant what its saying on that site?
Yes
amazing ๐

is it ok to put fake rgb rams just for the rgb or does it effect the other sticks performance? ๐
because i bought the one without rgb so i thought i could put something for the rgb on the empty slots
They should be able to be covered by the noctua fan anyway
2 and 4 and not 1 and 3?
i'm thinking of buying the Thermalright Frozen Notte 240
so that way i will have the space
it's only ยฃ50
I'm willing to bet one of them is a rickroll
if the fake stick don't usually hinder the performance then it's fine
thats awesome lol
But I wouldn't be surprised if they do
It was the third song I found
and cuz these dont have rgb and my pc current dark as you can see i dont have many rgbs, i even took off the fans rgb
You could put an rgb fan on the noctua tho tbh
TL-B14-S is the same performance as a noctua fan
the fans on the case they used to light up but i took them off i can't remember why ๐
i mean i unpluged them
Ah wait I don't think the 14 version exists only 12
ye lights on all fans but 3 out of 4 fans are on, only the 1 fan in the front not running cuz i had no slot for the fan left
I can buy fake ram with rgb?
3 = running, 1 = not running
Ah ok
ye
Wow
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
Have a mid night!
not sure if i can fit in my case, no space in the front
thanks and good night

AliExpress is cheaper because that is almost certainly dropshipped on Amazon
Also buck converters are more efficient
@elfin mural I might be getting a tuf sand
Yeah, About that, I can't buy something on Aliexpress myself
If I had a Power supply that had a Higher voltage, I would have gone with a Buck converter btw
But the most common voltage I can do is 5V
How about looking at digikey
No offense, but I have no idea what you mean
Oh, I can't go outside Amazon rn
I would need my Bank Account which I can Never acquire.
Ye ;-;
50โฌ, But I want to use that money for more than just one thing
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
If I were able to use my Bank Account I wouldn't be so limited to places where I can pay with Gift Cards 
or paysafecard
im jelly
I think digikey may have gift cards

@sinful blade #tech-deals There's your sub $100 GPU
Meanwhile I'm just thinking how I can not fry those little things like that:
2 went up in smoke from 5 Volt
Do you know what the rating is for it
hang on
Input voltage it says 2V (lie) to 24V (idk if true)
I have the page open from where I got it
Hmm
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...)
You might have exceeded the current rating then potentially? For like half a second
With the cap?
Potentially
Iโve achieved neckbeard level 100
That's the only way I could imagine it randomly blowing up several times in a row
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.
So it was just generaly not a great choice
Morning wegg
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
Hmm
Well, I do have 20V Batteries 
What should I look for when I get one?
Like should It have a cooler for the Switching part?
I found one that's a decent looking price but need to pool some funds first
Kinda looking like it'd make sense if I get a new commission in the next couple days
Honestly, I think you should start with a input voltage closer to the needed output voltage
Like, find a 12v power supply to boost it to 18v or something
I actually found a 12V AC power supply, I have a Full Bridge rectifier and the capacitor also
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)
Better efficiency and less amperage from higher voltage
sum like that?
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
If I had one that I can just do that on ;-;
Probably overkill for your application as long as you aren't trying to go from 5v to 18
Well, I like overkill more than killing the converter like flies
Ig
No seriously, I had 10 of those cheap converters
10 for 9.99โฌ
each were like 99 cent
Up to 1โฌ if rounding the 0,999โฌ
Btw, That is the product: https://amzn.eu/d/9b0kLyg
are you trying to build a psu
No, more like: Help I need something that can power that decoration asap any way
and the PSU was 18V

But jokes aside, I don't think that I can just get a PSU that is 18V straight
ye probably not
imma look rq
I mean #general-chat is otherwise dead so it's whatever
I get the feeling though that nobody talks here in #general-chat when the conversation is whatever other topic
Like when somebody is getting tech help in #general-chat, nobody bothers to change the topic or say anything that's not tech help
lol that's why I always say "just go to #building-and-recc-chat" when somebody asks for tech help here
Because I forgot there is a channel for that
understandable lol
... Should I? https://amzn.eu/d/aS9kZJI
Sounds good 
I gotta stop posting this, making me look like a hardcore battlemage simp:https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-says-battlemage-is-next-in-a-video-promoting-xe2-architecture
Intel teases Battlemage Launch expected soon.ย Intel has a series of videos on their official channel called Graphics on the Go. The fourth episode is hosted by Tom Petersen, Intel Fellow and former NVIDIA employee. Petersen has been actively promoting Intelโs first major push into the discrete GPU business through the Arc series. The latest [โฆ]
Isn't that what is supposed to happen?
Ye
AMD's CUDA equivalent is working well enough that I no longer see a need to buy an Nvidia. F in chat for Nvidia lol.
Bruh I just need it to work in Automatic1111
I'm gonna mount a Nvidia GPU on my Laptop in the future
I gotta see first
ok
It better be good bruh I swear
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
Honestly, also ray tracing
Nvidia advertised the nuts out of ray tracing and then nobody else (devs included) made it feasible nor noticeable
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
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
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
I mean yeah I make an emphasis on RT, but I still think rasterization should be top-priority
It's either devs optimize, or GPU manus should actually start making good GPUs
Nah bro I like my 999million particles rendered in an area you can't access
๐
Funny how big of a perf hit high to ultra is in games tho
Really not much of a visual difference between the two but will tank like crazy if ultra is selected
Ultra is basically "turn off optimizations entirely"
thoughts on r5 5600x for $100?
You can find a $65 5600
$67 yes i found
tray type
$138 for R5 7600
AM4 B450 MSI pro max II
my mobo
DANG it's not compatible with the 7600
R7 5700x for $120
Hmm
i do video editing as well, not a pro and not a vfx guy but yeah
2x16gb 3200mhz
rx 6600xt
r5 2400g (lol)

Iโm tryna find a 1080ti for under $110
dream card when i was 13
The greatest card ever made
NVIDIA will never make that mistake again
The 5080ti is now going to cost like $1500
Nvidia internally made a vow to NEVER make a 1080ti like value card ever again
And so far, they're keeping that promise

Yes

Great
Dude definitely fit in with "Games make you mentally unwell" crowd
Except we don't cook turkey we cook eggs
That's just absurd
I have a request, I need some of the funniest thanksgiving memes you guys have

I mean gaming isn't for everybody lol
True
I really am serious btw
Felix really is serious btw
But Elon is being a little too goody two shoes here
Elon Musk held the world record for a Diablo 4 dungeon
He was and might still be by the community metric the world's best Diablo 4 player
Gonna have to search through the depths of the net to find the tastiest meme
I would greatly apreciate your effort
Your name shall be honored by many
Throughout the kingdom for years to come

It felt so weird watching stream snippets
The guy would be doing super hard dungeon runs
While streaming and being on the phone to spacex
Like "Yeah we nearly failed the landing of the public demo the other day with the thruster just moments from the end it could've crashed"
Like
WHAT?
Just casually talking about a potentially billion dollar catastrophe on a twitch chat to like 60 people
