idk math is hard

frigid stag
#

50 series is on the same node as 40 series, makes sense

mortal grail
#

I remember looking about a week ago the 5080s were like less than 5% better on 3dmark so my guess is everyone's trying to clock them to hell

dense locust
#

i should be putting my 5080 in my case today

rancid juniper
#

tell this to nvidia fans and they'll use this as justification for their next 50 series purchase

mortal grail
#

Which at least does prove the point of OC but man, not msrp? Still bad

#

You don't get halfway to a 4090 with one so 1250 is yuck

grand kernel
#

just pull black magic and get your cards for 2/3 of msrp like I did

frigid stag

Wonder how the results would be if tech tubers didn’t use bloated rotting stock windows 11 and had an i9 with fast ram and 1dpc

my friend was complaining 65ms ping was unplayable in league when he went on vacation on the west coast

rancid juniper
#

someone buying a 7900XTX for $1200 as we speak

grand kernel
#

what about it

mortal grail
#

120ms system lag is GARBAGE

frigid stag
#

League isn’t really hardware tied. You see people with potato laptops make it to grandmaster or whatever the high rank is

wise wigeon
#

well thats a skill diff

grand kernel
#

120ms is noticeable but idk I learned the game on 65ms so I don't really notice it

frigid stag
#

It’s almost a 2d game and still doesn’t get over like 200 fps on high end hardware

wise wigeon
#

but having a good pc helps

mortal grail
#

I'm from Australia, I have 200 ping to any other country

#

I hate playing overseas multiplayer

grand kernel

I hit grandmaster on 65ms 💀

rancid juniper

hmm

frigid stag

Didn’t tyler1 reach diamond on a trashed laptop

wise wigeon

wait people complain about 65 ms ping?

frigid stag
#

This game doesn’t really scale with hardware

mortal grail

worthy meteor
#

it's all a skill diff but better hardware still helps

grand kernel

120ms input lag from hardware is crazy

frigid stag
grand kernel

120ms is actually at the point where it will 100% influence your gameplay

in theory the idea of refurbished psu is fine but then you see what people try to pass off as refurb and it's a little sus

sinful blade
grand kernel

💀

#

any tronicsfix fans

worthy meteor
#

I mean my main concern with refurbished PSUs is missing cables lol

#

refurb always says may not include all accessories

mortal grail
#

Considering it's corsair I'd trust it

sinful blade
grand kernel
#

opening it and cleaning dust inside = refurbishing it

worthy meteor
#

the PSU itself is going to be fine

inland pulsar

uhm guys the pc case box says mad 240 mm psu support but uh

mortal grail
#

Not the ram frost no

grand kernel
mortal grail
#

Lmao

rancid juniper
#

heh

mortal grail
#

But corsair cs is decent, and jonny is always pushing the psu department to good quality

#

I would be able to trust their refurb psus

#

We've never really heard complaints about them

rancid juniper
#

gigabyte refurb psus

#

sounds like a fun time

sinful blade
#

My 2TB HDD will be here fridayyyy

mortal grail
#

And even if it was missing cables I guarantee corsair cs would fix it

grand kernel
#

well that's nice that someone is actually refurbishing before putting a refurbished label on

worthy meteor
#

but yea the PSU itself is going to be fine

inland pulsar
mortal grail
#

They have a history of zero cost replacements

worthy meteor
sinful blade
#

I’d go for their customer support before buying missing cables

worthy meteor
grand kernel
#

nice thing is corsair psu cables are easy to replace

mortal grail
grand kernel
#

can't say the same for a lot of psus

mortal grail
worthy meteor

I still hate how corsair names the cable types though

did evga boards ever end up getting 14th gen bios updates

Yea

Given my experience, I don't think I'd ever spend AXi money on a psu

nothing new out of evga

You have to get it from Reddit tho

mortal grail

I always advocate for good psus

But that much is yikes

frigid stag

Bit too much unless the system is worth tens of thousands imo

grand kernel

reddit as a bios update distribution platform 💀

how far evga has fallen...

rancid juniper
#

downloading a file from reddit is kinda wild

#

ngl

frigid stag

It’s from Evga employees

worthy meteor
#

There was a guy around here with an AXi having to mess with the multirail ocp because that PSU was not designed for modern GPUs lol

It’s not even public, you have to scroll through one of the employees post history 💀

what do you mean 4.5v on the 5v rail is a bad thing?

something like that

Bruh you buy a $700 psu, stick a reputable corsair 2x8 adapter into it for a new gpu

rancid juniper

And it won't run

it knows its a vm

so I have her restart it

it stops again so I tell her to leave it and I'll check it out when I get back

worthy meteor
# mortal grail 240W?

had to double check, the number was 20-40a you can set virtually per cable for the OCP, max was 40a per cable, spikes would trip it

fresh timber
#

im watchigng this again

grand kernel
#

turns out the 12v rail was drooping all the way down to 9v

mortal grail
#

What's the ocp trip time

dusk knot
#

I wish I cared about the Superbowl

worthy meteor
#

no testing done on it

grand kernel
#

and the pin responsible for that had already melted into the socket

mortal grail
worthy meteor
#

actually lemme check if it was part of the early reviews

grand kernel
#

i was able to separate the cable from the board with some help from a knife

hushed harbor
#

hi there

is there any way i can download an entire messenger chat with photos?

photos i mean media

grand kernel
#

the board worked fine after that but there was a little bit of melted plastic left in the socket that meant 24-pin could only be plugged in ~90%

mortal grail
#

She undervolted too far mang

grand kernel
#

💀

mortal grail
#

She nearly undervolted to 5v spec

#

☠️

grand kernel
#

i wonder how much those 2 3070s were even drawing from slot power

#

they had 2x8s and full load power was ~120w each

worthy meteor
grand kernel
#

surely there's load balancing and it's not just 75w slot and 45w from 8-pins right

mortal grail
#

I have one of those old af GX's

worthy meteor
#

Later on yea

mortal grail
#

On the 4090 rig

#

Hasn't tripped in ages

worthy meteor
mortal grail
#

Yeah like 2020 right

worthy meteor
#

pre mid 19 I think

#

lemme double check

mortal grail
#

I bought mine late 2021, but I believed the manu date was 2020

#

My 3080 and even the XTX did trip it at one stage

#

But hasn't for a very long ass time

frigid stag
#

People are saying the 5080 can’t be a 5070 because no 70 card draws this much power kekw

Ah

#

So I might've just been a coincidence then

worthy meteor
#

time passes quickly

frigid stag
#

Pre 2020 psus must’ve been trash if they couldn’t handle a 3080. I mean most people at the time had i5s or ryzen 7s which only are like 100w and the gpu is 300 to 400w max

mortal grail
#

I wouldn't be surprised cos I get the most random of issues

frigid stag
#

750w psus tripping on a 500w load is insane

mortal grail

Isn’t that thing a bomb 💀

it just works

mortal grail
frigid stag
#

How were 750w and 850w psus tripping on 3080s then?

300W cpus

frigid stag

it was one of the best 750w psus

not all 750w are created equal

worthy meteor
mortal grail
#

Like yeah it was bound to happen

grand kernel
#

nah

frigid stag
#

Didn’t Linus show a rm850x trip from a 3080 or 3080ti

mortal grail
#

Atx 3.0 introduced excursion spec for crazy ass transients

#

Yeah it could

frigid stag
#

Probably 2017 rm850x

mortal grail
#

I tripped an rm850x with one

#

2019

grand kernel
#

it was a txm, i don't think it's listed as one of the best anymore but it was at the time

mortal grail
#

Lmao

frigid stag
#

Ah

#

Did it reach 850w or

#

Just psu tripped at lower wattage

mortal grail
#

I hit something like 960W

#

It still works

frigid stag
#

Wtf kekw

worthy meteor
frigid stag
#

Muetve been a 10980xe or something

mortal grail
#

I mean yeah it is what it is lmao

#

10850K

grand kernel
#

the cpu topped out at 320w and the gpu topped out at 450w so i was definitely able to go past the stated 750w capacity if i was trying to but that wasn't a realistic use case

mortal grail
#

💀

rancid juniper
frigid stag
#

💀 close enough

grand kernel
#

realistic use was something like 120w cpu and 400w gpu so 750w was fine

mortal grail
frigid stag
#

Are newer rm850x’s better ? Or did the gpus somehow get fixed 💀

#

Cause that problem disappeared later on

It's the golden boy of psus

Ps2 port is just a add on bonus

I feel like it has to be slower from the added interrupt routine

are you even gaming if your mouse isn't interrupting the cpu?

Thoughts on these parts?

CPU + mobo on combo with newegg combo is $329.97
So true total would be $439.96.

I am looking to upgrade my brothers pc so thats why this list is like this. I already have coolers and storage and stuff.

Unsure about the mobo though... thats my main concern I think.

#

yeah its kinda bleh but going budgetish

It might have gone up

Is that b650?

b850

Oh b650 has 12 wtf

Eh I don't remember b850 being that bad? ☠️

for 10 bucks more I can go up a tier tho

Like it looks like they went backwards

so that bumps it up to 339.97 for cpu+mobo

19.4 vs 16.6 vs 14

And the OC these things do often isn't stable at those numbers so you need to reel it back a few % so it's solid stable

the psu side burnt too

23 AMPS in one pin

through a tiny wire

surreal comet
#

Why does Nvidia insist on this cable when last time they tried it it backfired

elfin mural
#

no idea

#

it's clearly a hazard

#

so the mod-diy cable most likely wasn't at fault

#

it's the fact that it's being allowed to draw 20+ amps through one pin

surreal comet
#

Im sure Nvidia uses these cables in servers and whatnot as well

#

It seems like a more expensive thing to implement than just standard connectors for a worse adapter

On wan show it sounded like there was a lot of back on forth whether they could ship them or not and that caused some to be packaged but never picked up. Apparently they were told they could start shipping some again so they started getting more ready over the weekend
