"mass effect" or something idk

opaque sedge
#

Had my fill with cyberpunk

misty sparrow
#

did you not like it

#

you could alternatively play a Fallout

idle nexus
#

FO4 ftw

misty sparrow
#

FO4 isnt for everyone

#

the story's not really that great if i'm being perfectly honest

velvet summit
#

New Vegas with 1k mods

misty sparrow
#

-# New Vegas still runs like trash even with optimization mods

idle nexus
#

"light" FO4 modding

opaque sedge
frigid stag
#

Speaking of optimisation mods why do people use them for minecraft and call it “demanding” it runs at 500 fps if you have like a 1050 or 960 kekw

velvet summit
#

Nier frfr

misty sparrow

misty sparrow
#

or

#

Baldur's Gate 3

#

that counts right

#

i've never played it

idle nexus
#

FO4 has melee & auto targeting lol

velvet summit
opaque sedge
idle nexus
#

I don't really use the former & never use the latter but it's there lol

misty sparrow
#

i don't know who the hell baldur is and why he has a gate....three times

#

just destroy the damn gate just saying

velvet summit
#

Minecraft could be used to "stress test" single threaded in a way

frigid stag
#

Idk then, it runs decently even on like a pentium potato pc

#

I guess people have really bloated pcs

misty sparrow
#

it's more of a CPU bound game i think

velvet summit
#

Yeah Minecraft vanilla isn't exactly demanding

#

It could get somewhat demanding after putting some shaders on

misty sparrow
#

amplified worlds on java used to be the bane of my existence

frigid stag
#

Ye some people have skill issue that complain about vanilla minecraft fps kekw

#

It’s like almost 1k fps for me

velvet summit
#

TBF
If they grabbed a few optimization mods for Minecraft, it would probably jump up in fps

opaque sedge
#

Apparently a 27inch 4k 240hz monitor was released

velvet summit
#

But honestly most systems should be able to run Minecraft at playable frames

opaque sedge
misty sparrow
#

they aren't going to pull a Valve

frigid stag
#

He means like otptifine

frigid stag
#

Which u don’t even need tbh

velvet summit
opaque sedge
misty sparrow
#

and I'm saying that if they did it, it'd be welcome

#

but they will never do it

idle nexus
#

my 4090 gets wrecked by Indiana Jones maxed out with path tracing at 4k

misty sparrow
#

4090ti when

opaque sedge
velvet summit
idle nexus
#

it'll run at like 70fps ish

frigid stag
#

Ah

misty sparrow
#

I always just use Optifine because OG

idle nexus
#

pathtracing in CyberPunk is like 23fps lol

opaque sedge
frigid stag
#

I haven’t played it in a while tbf. I haven’t used performance mods since I stopped using the pentium pc and upgraded

idle nexus
#

TAA is rough

velvet summit
misty sparrow
#

they do that with Forge too

velvet summit
#

True

misty sparrow
#

but I block all the ads so I don't care

velvet summit
#

I've switched to using sodium and fabric now

#

I've gotten with the times

misty sparrow
#

Fabric is just...mid

#

all the good stuff is just on Forge

velvet summit
#

Fair bit of modders have switched and/or added support to fabric

misty sparrow
#

Unless a mod dev chooses to rewrite their mod to work with Fabric I'm not going to use them

#

but all of the good stuff is just on Forge so

velvet summit
#

If you play on older versions, then it would make sense to stick with forge since alot of classic mods have not been updated since 1.12.2 or even 1.7.4

#

In terms of modern Minecraft modding though, I'd rather stick with fabric now tbh

misty sparrow

quick question unrelated to all this

idle nexus
#

DLSS Quality

misty sparrow
#

is Black Desert showing as free-to-keep for the rest of you? i'm about to post it in the tech-deals

velvet summit
#

I think black desert switched to free to play a few months ago

misty sparrow
velvet summit
#

Hmm

dusk knot
velvet summit
#

Unless you mean over sharpened

#

Which then, yes, it is

idle nexus
#

I took a picture with my phone so it's kinda like a picture of a picture

dusk knot
#

I still love it

dusk knot
idle nexus
#

yes

#

I should have played with settings more

#

I haven't played the game more than like 30 minutes yet

dusk knot
#

Ah…I’m a few hours in. Great great game

#

Just like the movies that I’ve watched dozens of times

misty sparrow
idle nexus
#

lol no it works

#

but sending the picture directly didn't

#

so I had to screensnip or whatever

misty sparrow
#

odd

idle nexus
#

so a screen snip of a picture of the picture on the screen

#

might lose some fidelity in that transaction

been looking at milwaukee compact impacts since they would be handy especially for tight spaces, but just to get into the ecosystem, it would be like $500 cad lol

$300 for the impact, $200 for a battery and charger

@grand kernel have to tip my hat to you btw

Your psu cable made me figure out the same problem on one of my own rigs

I never put two and two together

So that whole thing got me thinking, I went off, swapped the cables on mine, made a huge improvement so far

What do you guys think the odds of me being able to snag a 5090 on release week? I keep going back and forth as to whether or not I should just pick up a 4090 or try to time the release of the 5090.

The 32gb vram would be a really nice thing to have.

sage sluice
#

well the 4090 on launch sold out within hours and on a lot of sites within minutes

#

but at this price point im not sure how much thatll be the case even for desperate scalpers

#

i would honestly just try and grab a 4090 for msrp now while you can and before any potential tariffs take effect

#

depending on what youre doing a 7900xtx would be way more than competant for a lot of use cases at a better price

#

there is a LOT of overpricing rn for the 4090 so

old charm
#

I'm looking to build something thats the fastest, probably 128gb/256gb ram, I haven't even really looked at CPUs yet.

old charm
old charm
#

Or do all the vendors get generally the same stock

sage sluice
sweet phoenix
#

If youre gaming that extra vram does nothing for you

#

Even at 4k

#

Same thing with regular ram

sage sluice
#

If youre gaming there is zero point going for nvidia here

#

Lidar processing

sweet phoenix
#

An argument could be made for dual 4080s

old charm
#

And warthunder

sage sluice
#

No point even mentioning war thunder lol if anything itll be the bottleneck

old charm
#

But my 1080ti still gets 140fps in warthunder at 5120x1440 shiblaugh

#

On max

dusk knot
# old charm Why's that?

You will be competing against bots and hundreds of thousands of buyers. The website that you're ordering from may crash from all the traffic.

old charm
#

I can write a bot

#

Not a bad idea

sage sluice
#

Not to mention i wouldnt doubt theres gonna be some artificial scarcity

old charm
#

I'm curious if 4090s will also be in short supply when the 5090 rolls out

sweet phoenix
sweet phoenix
#

They should be $1600

old charm
#

I cant imagine there would be too many people upgrading from a 4090 to a 5090

sweet phoenix
#

The cheapest is currently $2700

old charm
#

I see a ton of pre built computers on marketplace with 4090s for under 3k total

sage sluice
#

How much money are you working with out of curiousity

#

Because this is mostly value for money

sweet phoenix
#

And what threadripper do you have?

#

I'm assuming high 3000 series

old charm
old charm
#

I already have a case

#

And monitors

#

And peripherals

sweet phoenix
sweet phoenix
#

7950x is almost the same cpu for a good bit cheaper, and 4 sticks of ddr5 hurts performance more than helps unless you actually need that much ram

#

I'd probably start with one kit of ram, and add another down the line if you need more

old charm
#

So I'm not sure 16 is enough

sweet phoenix
#

Id research if your tasks work well with two gpus

#

If so, two 4080s at $1000 should be better than a 5090 at $2500

#

Or whatever ridiculous price they're saying

old charm
#

I can parallelize some things but honestly I'd like to get a workstation card in addition to a 5090. That way I can use the 5090 for training and the workstation card for inference

sweet phoenix
#

Hm alright

sage sluice
#

I will say this is an insane jump from a 1080ti kekw

#

Even stepping back to 3000 series would be a big jump

sweet phoenix
#

I'm just saying it sounds like you're underestimating how big of a jump this is already going to be, but its your build bot mine

old charm
#

Yea, I don't want to upgrade for a while and it'd be nice to give my existing PC to my GF so she can play Sims or whatever

sweet phoenix
#

1080 ti to 4090 is already like an 80% performance increase lol

old charm
#

I get it, it's not the best value for the money, but realistically if I'm only throwing away maybe 2k max over a few years, I don't see the problem

#

And it functions as a space heater while I queue compute tasks

sage sluice
#

My broke ass cryin in the corner

sweet phoenix
#

I'm not saying it's a problem, but you can just accomplish the same thing for less. Its not my money, you do you

old charm
#

Maybe. Or if I can find 2 4090s. My only hesitation is that not all workloads can be run parallel

sweet phoenix
#

Oh 100%, it depends on your specific use case

old charm
sage sluice
#

Lol fair

old charm
#

Even though it'll be mostly gaming

sweet phoenix
sage sluice
#

A single 4090 is worth more than my whole system hellnawbruh

#

Let alone 2

old charm
#

What's the fastest cpu

sage sluice
#

Depends

sweet phoenix
#

Can always add ram and more storage if needed

old charm
#

Or 90th percentile value pick

sweet phoenix
sage sluice
#

For gaming 9800x3d

sweet phoenix
#

Thats a loaded question

sage sluice
#

For workloads thats different

old charm
#

MultiCore performance

#

Threading perf

sweet phoenix
#

There's thread rippers, EPYC cpus, intel xeon (imo don't consider this or epyc) and then regular intel/ryzen cpus

old charm
#

14900KS?

#

That's what I was looking at

sweet phoenix
#

Id say the choice should be between 7000 series thread rippers, 9950x, and maybe 14900k

old charm
#

I don't necessarily need server grade. I hadn't heard anything spectacular in regards to newer AMD stuff

sage sluice
#

7000 series thread rippers would be what i lean toward

sweet phoenix
#

14900k with the fixed power limits is worse than the 9950x for multi core and single core

#

Intel had issues with 13th/14th gen with mobos feeding cpus too much voltage, which had the 13th/14th gen i9s trading blows with 7950x/9950x

#

With fixed power limits 9950x is the clear winner, it also runs cooler and at a much lower wattage

proud jackal
#

9950x3d coming out soon

sweet phoenix
#

Unless you're doing any video editing, I personally wouldn't bother with high end intel atm

old charm
#

So let's call it
$650 CPU
$2500 GPU
$700 MOBO
$400 RAM
$200 PSU

sweet phoenix
#

$700 mobo $400 ram

#

What

old charm
#

That doesn't seem particularly unreasonable

sage sluice
sweet phoenix
#

Yes it does, a $200 mobo and $700 mobo do the same thing

old charm
sweet phoenix
#

Again your money you do you

sage sluice
#

You dont need us to tell you what to do lol

old charm
#

Yea, I'm just running it though my head

sage sluice
#

Buy a diamond ornamented 4090 if you lean that way

old charm
#

I really want a 5090 but I'm not sure I'll get lucky

sweet phoenix
#

A 2x48gb kit would be a better choice imo, and you could add another 2x48 kit later if you need more ram. With ddr5 you lose performance/speed with four sticks of ram, especially with such a high capacity

old charm
#

True, that's a good point

sage sluice
sweet phoenix
#

The absolute, absolute most I'd even consider on a mobo is $300-400, and even that's way overpriced

old charm
#

I didn't see any 48gb >6000mhz

sweet phoenix
#

6000c32/6000c30/6400c32 is what you want

old charm
#

Perfect. I was just sorting on user bench

sweet phoenix
#

UBM is really bad

#

`UserBenchmark is NOT a reliable source of information and has been blanket banned in many hardware communities such as r/hardware and r/intel for what started as an anti-AMD bias but has spiraled into delusion.

In fact, they tried so hard to skew results in favor of Intel's midrange that they even cannibalized Intel's own high end. For example, according to UserBenchmark, the i3-9350K is rated higher than the i9-10980XE.

For a similarly convenient quick-and-dirty hardware comparison website, we recommend using PassMark instead of UserBenchmark.

PassMark CPU comparison: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleCompare.php
PassMark GPU comparison: https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/singleCompare.php

sage sluice
#

Dont touch ubm

#

Lol

#

They are laughably biased to the point the intel subreddit banned them

sweet phoenix
#

I forgot we had that

old charm
#

That's good to know

sage sluice
#

Why google still has them as the top result is beyond me

sweet phoenix
#

I fell into the same trap a couple years ago lol

#

I thought my friends 2700x was better than my 3600 bc of ubm lol

sage sluice
#

Thankfully i saw the outlandish slander too quickly

#

As in them clearly showing biased results

sweet phoenix
#

What's super weird is they don't base their performance comparisons on just performance

old charm
#

But yea, I was looking to combine open street map with NeRFs to make essentially the poor mans version of Google Earth and then integrating some lidar mapping data of facilities within those areas.

sweet phoenix
#

They factor in age of cpu, power, efficiency, number of cores instead of just multi core performance, and more

old charm
#

I had also played around with using thermal cameras to make NeRFs

sage sluice
#

If i recall at one point a 2nd gen i3 was higher on their performance charts than a 5000 series ryzen

old charm
#

Yea, also CPU architectures are kinda comparing apples to pears

frigid stag
#

Fps is all that matters

dusk knot
#

Mmhhmmmmmm

sage sluice
#

nah i need my pc to be at least 50% rgb

Every gen has a new DlSS that the previous gens will not support

rancid juniper

Or two actually

grand kernel
#

ah

mortal grail
#

I had spare cables but not all in the right colour so I got creative lmao

grand kernel
#

I might just be done with custom cables the stock cables lowkey looking fine

#

it's nice to have one less failure point

#

I'm glad this cable at least didn't fail as catastrophically as the previous one lmao

mortal grail
#

I use mainly cable replacements now but my older pc's still have extensions

grand kernel
#

idr if you remember the previous one was hitting 9V on the 12V rail and actually had some of the connector melt

mortal grail
#

It taught me that the voltage readouts for 12 3.3 and 5 can tell you if you have potential issues

grand kernel
#

yeah

mortal grail
#

Like my 12v was running 11.6, now 12

grand kernel
#

I just wasn't seeing it bc I was 400 miles away at the time

mortal grail
#

It really taught me a lot lol

grand kernel
#

11.6 is still within spec but it's sus zone

#

my 5v was dropping way below spec

#

now imagine 9V lmao

mortal grail
#

Lol

grand kernel
#

on the 12V rail

#

no wonder it melted

dusk knot
#

Soon .........

mortal grail
#

Well 11.6 was the lowest I saw sustained

#

So it likely went lower

grand kernel
#

this cable had issues on 3.3V and 5V but 12V was fine

mortal grail
#

I was getting whea errors LOL

grand kernel
#

interesting

#

mine manifested as my drives blowing up

#

I remember starting cyberpunk with hwinfo open and seeing 5V rail drop to 4.58V

#

and I saw explorer.exe crash and then spam 1000 errors that it failed to restart

#

and dwm was showing visual artifacts

#

then quickly got a storage related bsod

#

3.3V rail was also out of spec at 3.1V

#

but 12V rail was still in spec at 11.8V

#

for the other cable 5V and 3.3V were fine but 12V was bad

#

the melted pin was one of the 12V pins unsurprisingly

#

but yeah no physical damage on this cable, looks perfect from the outside

#

I suspect 5V and 3.3V rails don't draw enough amps to cause melting

nocturne merlin
#

whats the right channel to troubleshoot game performance

unreal trail
#

bro

grand kernel
#

game performance? probably just here

#

a number of hardware or software issues could cause lower than expected game performance

nocturne merlin
#

well im playing hell let loose rn and for some reason both my cpu and gpu util is at 80% while my fps is just around 70, with no cap in settings

rancid juniper
rancid juniper
#

Apparently, arc b580 sucks on older CPUs. But that cpu he tested was an i5 9th gen

#

🗿

#

He also claimed that rebar was enabled

nocturne merlin
unreal trail
#

check my ps5

rancid juniper
#

Pretty sure rebar is a motherboard feature not CPU as you can mod it on much older mobos

#

As long as that mobo supports UEFI

grand kernel
#

cpu usage doesn't have to hit 100% for a cpu bottleneck to be happening

#

80% is abnormally high for games

#

games don't tend to scale perfectly with multiple cores

#

you can even have a cpu bottleneck with 20% cpu usage

#

check the per-core usage to get a better idea

#

what's your cpu and gpu?

nocturne merlin
#

def not cpu bottleneck, r5 5600x rx 6600

grand kernel
#

I mean it could be a cpu bottleneck in some situations

#

especially if you have a lot of bloatware running in the background

#

or the game is very cpu heavy/very graphically light

#

5600x/rx 6600 generally wouldn't be cpu bottlenecked but it's not impossible

nocturne merlin
#

almost clean install, also its 80% cpu when im in a lobby of 100 people and such, i tried in an empty game and my fps is still kinda low with gpu at 75% and cpu at 40%

grand kernel
#

cpu at 40% can still be a cpu bottleneck

nocturne merlin
#

the requirements for the game is a 1070 and i5 7600, its graphics heavy

grand kernel
#

if the game is being bottlenecked by something occurring on a single core that doesn't parallelize

#

just check your per core cpu usage

nocturne merlin
#

would this also happen if it was a ram being full issue?

grand kernel
#

possible

#

what is your ram configuration

nocturne merlin
#

its 2x8 2666 mhz (yes slow i know) and it sits at 15 gb usage constantly

grand kernel
#

yeah that could definitely be the problem

#

2666 is probably gimping your 5600x to be slower than a 3600 in some cases

#

and you're sitting at basically full ram

nocturne merlin
#

would 3200 be an upgrade?

#

or do i go for 3600

storm narwhal
#

geez

#

2666 on a 5600x

#

poor cpu

frigid stag
grand kernel
#

32gb 3600 would be best but 3200 is fine, could also try to overclock a 3200 kit to 3600-3800

#

I'm dailying a 3200 kit at 4200 rn

frigid stag
#

I would know. Got a laptop with 16gb ram and just on the Home Screen it uses like 9gb ram on idle

storm narwhal
#

wouldn't count on an overclock but it is possible

nocturne merlin
grand kernel
#

overclock would be fine if it was 32gb 2666 but it's 16gb so meh

frigid stag
#

Worth a try

nocturne merlin
storm narwhal
#

True

frigid stag
#

Could be bdie or something

#

You never know

grand kernel
#

clean or debloated clean

#

I got my idle ram usage down to 1.3gb/32gb with a heavily debloated os

#

I held out on 16gb for a while, debloating helped a lot

frigid stag
#

Windows 11?

nocturne merlin
#

what would you consider bloatware nowadays? its almost impossible to get a fully clean windows without disabling a lot of stuff, i just did it with a clean uupdump and rufus with world region setting

grand kernel
#

"clean" windows is pretty bloated

nocturne merlin
frigid stag
#

Ye that’s the first issue kekw

#

You gotta disable a lot of background apps, services etc to get it down

grand kernel
#

look into chris titus windows utility, it's all you need these days for debloating

frigid stag
#

Like windows 8 stock for some reason feels way more responsive than my windows 10 “tweaked” os

grand kernel
#

if you can reclaim 2-3gb ram that'll help with only having 16gb

#

maybe long enough to do a full platform upgrade instead of spending money on new ddr4

nocturne merlin
#

what would be good ram usage in idle for a debloated windows?

frigid stag
#

U can get 32gb for like 40 bucks now

grand kernel
#

out of 16gb? probably around 1gb

#

it'll be a bit higher the more ram you have cause windows will be less conservative with it

nocturne merlin
frigid stag
#

Just get 32gb 3600

grand kernel
#

never worth it to buy 16gb in 2025

frigid stag
#

Just in case

#

There’s like 1 or 2 cases where I can why someone would kekw

#

Bdie’s expensive

grand kernel
#

I mean

#

if you're buying for the purpose of overclocking only then sure

#

buying 16gb b-die for actual use would be a terrible idea

A lot of xoc guys run it as their daily kekw

#

And sr can get u slightly more frequency iirc

grand kernel
#

32gb of garbage ddr4 would generally be a better daily than 16gb b-die lol

nocturne merlin
#

but is there no advantage of having 4x8 compared to 2x16? i dont know much about ram configuration

frigid stag
#

Some have really expensive ram kits, like galax or that 4400c14 stuff from whatever brand

grand kernel
grand kernel
#

as soon as you hit swap space your performance is cooked

frigid stag
#

Yeah I guess they don’t play many ram intensive games

grand kernel
#

even swapping on a gen 5 nvme would be brutally slow compared to garbage ddr4-2133

grand kernel
frigid stag
#

I think my board’s supposed to work with 4 sticks better too

grand kernel
#

4x8 is worse than 2x16 on the majority of boards

nocturne merlin
#

btw it says the r5 5600x is only rated for 3200, although i know people run higher frequencies than that, does it not affect stability or are there any side effects

grand kernel
#

do your own stability testing

#

my 5600x had no issues running ddr4-4800

frigid stag
nocturne merlin
#

ah i see

frigid stag
#

You can run up to like 4000 1:1 if you have a good bin

grand kernel
#

ddr4-3200 is the minimum spec where even if you run a garbage motherboard your cpu is defective if it won't run 3200

#

worth noting that minimum spec is 3200 for 2x SR specifically and goes as low as 2666 for higher configurations I believe

frigid stag
#

The early am4 boards were weird. I know someone who’s 1700x would only work at 3200+ on a specific board with specific ram kekw

grand kernel
#

but minimum spec doesn't really matter

#

you should be able to run 3600 on any 5600x unless the board is the limiting factor

#

heck, I was able to run ddr4-3600 on a 5600x with a $20 first gen b350 board

#

but that 5600x was capable of running 4800 on a better board

nocturne merlin
#

well yeah i could but if i just borrow ram for free until i upgrade im asking what the best config is

#

better than 32 gb?

grand kernel
#

if it's free you might as well try it

#

but you'll probably be running mixed dies

#

so even 2666 isn't guaranteed to be stable

#

just try it

#

if you can run 32gb 2666 stable for free that's probably better than spending money on ddr4

nocturne merlin
#

they're both kingston fury, does it being a difference frequency automatically mean mixed dies?

grand kernel
#

you can even get different dies in the exact same model number

#

with low end ram

#

they use whatever they have that hits the advertised spec and they advertise that spec for the kit as-is only

#

3200 16-19-19-39 could be one of like 20 different dies lol

#

lol corsair even puts mixed dies in the same package

#

my friend had a 2666 corsair kit with mixed dies

#

4x4gb mixed dies

#

truly the bottom of the barrel

#

don't worry it's corsair vengeance so it's premium

nocturne merlin
#

if i wanted to overclock my current ram is there any chance i can get it to 3200? or what are the variables that changes the chances i have at a stable overclock

grand kernel
#

lol at least it wasn't rgb pro

grand kernel
#

not all

#

but you could try

#

just be warned that ram overclocking has higher risks than cpu/gpu overclocking

nocturne merlin
#

do i just set it in bios or do i need extra steps

grand kernel
#

follow a ram overclocking guide and do it properly

#

oh that's cute you think corsair bins their ram

nocturne merlin
grand kernel
#

both + could corrupt your OS/files

mortal grail
#

Haha you thought

nocturne merlin
#

meh thats fine the ram is probably like 15$ now lol

grand kernel
#

ehh the higher end dom plats yeah but there's also low end dom plats lol

#

could also fry your cpu's imc if you don't know what you're doing with vsoc

mortal grail
#

Oh you mean like the $600

grand kernel
#

unlikely at 3200 but still a possibility

mortal grail
#

$150 equivalent bins yeah

#

Most doms are not binned tho

grand kernel
#

the classic trap of expensive must mean good

mortal grail
#

That's not even a random number btw

#

And the most annoying

#

They put voltage locks on the pmics to prevent you overclocking

grand kernel
#

paying more for products that are worse than the competition

mortal grail
#

Corsair is the ONLY brand to do this

grand kernel
#

that's the corsair way

mortal grail
#

So if you want a kit with more than ~1.435v then good luck

#

Yes

grand kernel
#

why wouldn't it be legal

mortal grail
#

But they do it to stop you messing with it

#

Less warranties, less problems

grand kernel
#

they advertise a spec lower than the lock point

mortal grail
#

Less issues from bad bins cos no voltage messing

#

Meaning more bad bins

#

Meaning the CYCLE INTENSIFIES

grand kernel
#

as long as they meet advertised spec no legal issue

#

now uhh

#

corsair actually meeting advertised spec is not a guarantee

mortal grail
#

Not all, there are certain skus and I see them pop up every so often

#

Last I saw someone mention one was in december

sinful blade
mortal grail
#

No

sinful blade
#

I love the Chinese

grand kernel
#

don't tell me they lock the dom plats lol

mortal grail
#

They use the same sticks in all ram just different covers

#

I couldn't tell you if it's in doms but I would be surprised if it wasn't, they all take from the same bin pool

grand kernel
#

ah small indie company can't afford more than one pcb

mortal grail
#

People also don't normally say "Dominator ram"

#

I normally read "It's corsair so" kekw

frigid stag
#

They have titanium now too

idk what the power supply is I filtered by cheapest

#

couldn't afford graphics card yet in my budget needed the $300 cooler

#

mortal grail
#

And they put like a model car on the top with one of those square bases? So the aio up top was cut off from exhausting

frigid stag

That’s what as friend of mine did. He just said as long as it works he doesn’t care

mortal grail
#

Like completely choked

mortal grail
grand kernel
#

throwback to when one of my customers told me they'd rather have rgb than a graphics card

mortal grail
#

I'll never get it

grand kernel
#

when the 3200g/3400g were out of stock everywhere and the best integrated graphics they could get was intel uhd 630 in an i3-10100

mortal grail
#

You lose so much sometimes for brand paying

grand kernel
#

with ddr4-2666

#

I recall they said something like

#

it's not a gamer pc if it doesn't look like a gamer pc

mortal grail
#

Games play at 6fps but at least it rainbows

grand kernel
#

apparently they were very happy with it

#

playing minecraft at 720p 30 fps no texture pack on a 4k tv

#

lol

#

think that makes it a bad psu

#

I mean... yeah they probably are

#

f tier isn't a joke there's documented cases of f tier evga 700w causing house fires

mortal grail
#

No that's not generalising at all

#

They are known to cherry pick reviews

grand kernel
#

even in a budget build never cheap out on the psu

mortal grail
#

I have a great illustration of gamemax hold on

grand kernel
#

squeezing a bit more fps out of your budget is not worth potentially playing with your life and the lives of your family

#

yes, they can legitimately catch fire

mortal grail
#

It's more like you couldn't say if they would do anything because retail units are completely different to pre-tested cherry picking

sinful blade
grand kernel
#

and he didn't learn from that

sinful blade
grand kernel
#

btw felix

grand kernel
#

vetroo offered me a replacement I'm wondering if it's worth it my pc is stable now but voltages are still below nominal

sinful blade
grand kernel
#

within spec but below nominal

grand kernel
#

12V and 3.3V rail are perfect but 5V still drops down to 4.94V sometimes

#

i'm wondering cause i would have to pay for shipping and also go through the hassle of redoing all that cable management lol

mortal grail
#

I have to link this part in particular lmfao

grand kernel
#

well their message is kind of unclear

#

am i paying for shipping for the new one and keeping my old one? or am i paying to ship back my old one

mortal grail
#

Basically the only thing they do that's decent is the spark and the M40 (On low end)

grand kernel
#

i kinda feel like im ripping them off if im keeping both

mortal grail
#

Be a G, you got it for free lol

grand kernel
#

im just wondering if the 5V rail values are a sign that it's worth replacing

#

like will it get worse over time

mortal grail
#

You can use it in a new build

grand kernel
#

cause 4.92 is not a problem now but i would not like it to fall further

mortal grail
#

It's the GV right

grand kernel
#

yeah

mortal grail
#

rancid juniper

That moment when NFS heat shows my 13600k bottlenecking the GPU at 1440p ultra

It's worth keeping

rancid juniper
#

Ah yes good virtue 1000

grand kernel
#

idk if my current psu is fine id just rather not take another one from them

#

id feel bad about it lol

mortal grail
#

Did you not buy a new one I forgor

#

I remember a new one being bought am I wrong

grand kernel
#

no

#

all i did was remove the strimer 24 pin

mortal grail
#

Oh, well then yeah don't send it back then lol

grand kernel
#

pc is perfectly stable im just wondering if i should worry about the 5V rail long term

mortal grail
#

Go hassle lian li instead for a new strimer

grand kernel
#

if it can drop to 4.92 under load

#

the strimer is way out of warranty, they won't send a new one

rancid juniper
#

Ur psu failing or is your motherboard having trouble keeping those voltages?

mortal grail
#

(Strimers are known for drooping btw, I did some snooping)

grand kernel
#

over 3 years old and the warranty is 1 year

mortal grail
#

Yeah alr I wouldn't swap them, just tell them it was the strimer

rancid juniper
#

1 year warranty?

#

This a refurb or something?

grand kernel
#

no, brand new is 1 year warranty

rancid juniper
#

Wtf

grand kernel
#

even if i have the opportunity to get another psu for almost free i don't wanna be greedy if there's no reason to be concerned about what i have

rancid juniper
grand kernel
#

this psu is only 1 year old

mortal grail
rancid juniper
#

Can you uh... Undroop it?

mortal grail
#

Yeah don't bother vetroo

grand kernel
mortal grail
#

But that's a massive W that they accepted it

grand kernel
#

yeah ive had nothing but good experiences with them so i dont wanna take advantage of them

rancid juniper
#

Seriously why is your machine trying to fail?

mortal grail
#

He's an arch user

grand kernel
#

well i've learned my lesson

#

no more custom cables for me

rancid juniper
#

Lmfao

grand kernel
#

stock cable gang

rancid juniper
#

^^^

grand kernel
#

they look pretty good on the gv1000 anyway

rancid juniper
grand kernel
#

some psus do have hideous stock cables

#

but these are fine

#

those are also the cable ties that came with the psu

rancid juniper
#

I'd take practicality (if that's the proper word) over aesthetics any day

grand kernel
#

the strimer was nice while it worked

#

but you're quite literally paying to add another failure point to your system

#

so meh

rancid juniper
#

Lol

grand kernel
#

it was a real pain to diagnose

rancid juniper
#

Speaking of failure point, is the dreaded ram oc adventure complete?

grand kernel
#

i didn't understand why i was getting storage related bsods but my ssds were reporting good health and passed every test

rancid juniper
#

#

😭

grand kernel
#

like i said im taking it very slow now

#

basically trying 1 thing per night

rancid juniper
#

Gonna take 4200m/t years

grand kernel
#

i have a good enough daily profile so im not in a rush to improve it

#

@mortal grail

#

basically this is what im wondering about

mortal grail
grand kernel
#

under heaviest load the 5v rail can sometimes hit 4.92

#

4.92 is well within spec just worried if it'll keep dropping over time

mortal grail
grand kernel
#

yeah

#

my previous psus have maintained much closer to nominal voltage on every rail

#

i never ever see 5V on the 5V rail

#

this hwinfo has been open for 6 hours and idle for 4 of those

#

cause i had karhu running overnight and it errored and stopped

#

so even at idle the closest it gets is 4.98

mortal grail
#

Thing is the best case scanarios are at or above

grand kernel
#

im used to seeing a little above nominal at idle dropping to a little below under load

mortal grail
#

Being close is good

grand kernel
#

like 12.1v, 5.05v, 3.32v idle etc

mortal grail
#

Ye

#

But being a little under is fine

#

But as I've learned, lower is less stable

grand kernel
#

in any case i guess i have many years left of warranty so i can just monitor it

astral inlet

that's what they're running now i think, atleast for football, it seems google cancled the idea of rotary camera seats as 1st classism or something lmao

mortal grail
#

Case by case

#

If you buy something not slated for a warranty, depending on how it is sold, the device will come with guarantees upheld by country (or state) of sale

unreal trail
#

:chatting:

mortal grail
#

If it already has a sufficient warranty though then they often just opt to that

#

i.e "Not my problem" approach

#

This does come with of course the implications of a transferrable warranty or warranty taken on by the agent but it still applies

frigid stag
mortal grail
#

Some countries also have exceptions, like for example where I am we have a law called "Fit for purpose" which extends beyond a warranty
