80+ efficiency ratings mean nothing to PSU quality

craggy ice
#

higher the rating, lower the energy cost, also more reliable wattage at any pc load, which is more crucial for high-power enthusiast stuff

hollow prawn
#

...

#

it's a 5% efficiency difference

#

Ripple for reliability depends a LOT more on the unit than the efficiency rating

#

@craggy ice today, efficiency rating is about the last thing you should care about :P

#

sure theres a lot more good gold PSUs than there are good white PSUs

#

But comparing decent Bronze PSUs to decent Gold PSUs, there is little difference to the end user

craggy ice
#

i was referring to reliability at high loads

#

not in general

#

i do not run low power rigs lmao

#

and of course theres no reason for me to bag on a bronze psu that is a reputable company and brand, im jus saying in general i go for higher ratings ALONG with keeping the brand and reputation in mind..which is why at the end of the day i only go with EVGA, Corsair, and/or ROG for looks

hollow prawn
#

..?

#

Specific model matters a lot more than just the brand and efficiency rating

craggy ice
#

i agree

#

srry for sounding ignorant there

#

however u get the idea haha

#

however i would like to present the argument that the customer service of a certain brand should be factored into what psu youre looking into as well..you could get a nice psu but if it were to break for whatever reason and the company has terrible customer service than what would be the point

hollow prawn
#

eh, customer service doesn't matter as much as the actual quality of the unit

#

warranty is a factor

craggy ice
#

thats true

#

i love evga warranty

#

cannot go wrong with any evga psu to be real man

#

not one has failed on me, and plus that 10 year warranty on all their gold standards is no joke

hollow prawn
#

w1

#

7 year on g3 so ehm

craggy ice
#

fair enough lol

#

on mine it was 10 tho i aint complaining

hollow prawn
#

yea g2 and g5 gets 10 for some reason

#

not g3

craggy ice
#

hehe

hollow prawn
#

eh, they're all pretty good

craggy ice
#

yee

#

thoughts on the rog thor?

#

i have one ordered rn but stocks all out just waiting for that sucker to come in mayne

hollow prawn
#

should be good

#

really expensive iirc tho

#

I think I saw it at like 300$ for 850w

craggy ice
#

agreed

#

youre paying so much extra just for the LCD panel

#

its insane

hollow prawn
#

But you can't go wrong with a RMx/RM/MWE Gold/Revolution D.F/G2/G3/Core Reactor/Seasonic Focus

#

Don't like AXi have a built in display debug thing

#

one of the higher end PSUs

craggy ice
#

dangg

#

i originally opted for a corsair hxi series psu, but i realized my shroud had a cutout, so i thought why not utilize that

hollow prawn
#

wasn't axi

#

But I remember some high end unit with a flashy screen thing

craggy ice
#

Is 120 USD good for an r9 fury nitro?

#

Ik ima have to upgrade psu but I just wanna know

warm bane
#

@lusty harness the bidding on high end stuff literally happens in the last 15 min. Their are the dudes that try to leverage time by coming in with tiny little extra at the very end to win the bid.

yeah i lost an auction on ram i really wanted because i got sniped at the last second and didn't have time to re-bid

@grim talon when ur running sli, lots of liquid cooling, hardcore cpus, titan or high power consuming cards, etc. etc.

If you're going 3175 you probs can easily go quad GPU tbh

#

or any high core count CPU

worn rose
#

o it actually does have enough cables for quad gpu

gleaming bough

My rig pulls about 1000w as well

Idk if anyone already put this up here but Newegg has a gigabyte 5700xt up for 389$ before a 15$ promo code they list on the site. Pretty good deal for a good 1440p card. Not the factory overclocked version though.

89 USD for a 7 3700x on Amazon, 1 month shipping but still??

warm bane
#

🤔

#

It’s sold out now . So apparently guys decided to pay the shipping

subtle isle
#

I’ve seen those too. They’re scams. They send it to a wrong address a month after the sale date so they can claim their money from amazon and you end up having to make a claim

#

Definitely check third party seller ratings before buying anything from them

supple sluice
#

yeah those are super scam deals

#

same thing as the 3600 we saw for $56 the otherday

grim talon

I saw a Rosewill case that was fully tempered glass with 3 RGB fans for $36 lol

it's b-die

#

that's probably the best RAM you can get rn that's 3200MHz

hollow wolf
#

isn't standard ram price like supposed to be 30$ per 8 gbs?

#

for 2666 or 3000

#

and like 80$ for 3200 or 3600

thats a 32gb kit, and rn its like $120 for 16gb of good b die

is this worth it for 600 pounds?

haha

idle pollen
#

Worth it?

wide trout
#

no

supple sluice
#

i'd personally go with a different cooler and a small m.2/big HDD combo myself, maybe a different PSU

#

but if you just want an approximate apples to apples comparison of prebuilt vs buying/building yourself, that should be pretty close

wide trout
#

yeah, but just to make it clear, that parts list is an example of a crappy, unbalanced system

supple sluice
#

yes

wide trout
#

which is approximatly what that prebuilt is

#

just to make the point more clear

supple sluice
#

that is not optimized in any way, just trying to make a direct comparison so you can see what they're charging for overhead

#

plus the cheap keyboard/mouse

mild jetty
#

a good deal??

final scarab
#

Its decent

mild jetty
#

ok thx

grim talon
#

It’s kinda hard to go wrong with ram when you know the timings and speed and stuff

mild jetty
#

well sometimes cheaper ram wont run at the rated speed

#

or so i've been told

worn rose
#

as long as its not super bad binned sticks it shouldnt have a lot of issues running at rated speed

viral socket
#

my ram didn't run at rated speed on a Ryzen 1700, but gen 1 Ryzen was really bad with ram compatibility

#

most ram will run at rated speed with most processors now right out the box

#

now with a 3700X the ram is running overclocked just fine, and it's a standard cheap ripjaws V kit

#

... I say that... then see my bios reset again LUL

@torn basin If it wasnt for ray tracing i would have my eye on setting up 2 of those with SLI. But it just doesnt feel right spending even that kind of money on something that old. Even if they do have great raw performance

#

Just in the normal box with like 20 feet of bubble wrap

final scarab

But like the gpu?

#

Any internal packaging?

Nope

Works fine without just whatever side the label is on that’s the side they lay on

So it’s fine

If you have very large heavy GPU might wanna put packing

there are a few nearly identical ssds to the mp34

of it's an ssd?

like the crucial P2 and sn750

also the 3300x is £120 on ebuyer

oh nice

dense sphinx

so i'll just buy it there

you can get a half decent case for like £18

P2 is just hmb and qlc tho

and sn750 is like 50 euros in the uk

£?

tbh I don't care abt the ssd to much

I have my hhd for the rest of the stuff

and thats like 7200rpm

dont ask here

I found a 2070 super new for 415. Do I wait x amount of months for the 3000 series rtx cards to come out, or buy now

wide trout
#

up to you

#

do you want your pc now, or later

half bluff
#

I mean I of course would prefer now

#

but it's more about the value for my money

wide trout
#

we dont know the cost or exact perf of next gen cards

#

so its up to you to make that decision

hollow wolf
#

@half bluff if u ask me, it rlly depends- do u think it's a good deal? market value of the 20- series cards will go down when 30- series comes out, so u may find a better deal... but that's a risk u have to take- will the 2070s be avalible in a few months?

odyssey and siege lookin real nice rn

fierce wagon

Siege is quite often that cheap

fierce wagon
bleak pike
#

yes. just the CPU I need for my 2080 Super (right?)

fierce wagon
#

Sure why not

#

more cores!

bleak pike
#

I mean, my 3600 is bottlenecking my 2080 Super. I'm not sure which CPU I should upgrade to, whether it's a 3700X or a 3900X. I'm not going with a 3950X lol

trim moat
#

I'm using a 3800x, works for me

bleak pike
#

but you're also using a 2060

fierce wagon
#

Might as well get the 3700x then. It's on sale and comes with a cool game

bleak pike
#

might as well then

fierce wagon
#

3900x would probably be overkill

bleak pike
#

I mean, I think it only bottlenecks when I'm using my camera in a Discord vc and playing a game simultaneously

#

not needed yet but I might as well pick it up soon before it goes off sale

#

lol I guess I'm just worried it's not enough for my 2080 Super

#

I mean I guess it would decrease utilization on the CPU anyways. might as well

final scarab
#

Get a 3800xt @bleak pike

fierce wagon
#

I thought those were lackluster in the benchmarks

bleak pike
#

$400 though and it's just for a higher clock

final scarab
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

fierce wagon
#

140 bucks for a tad bit higher clock

final scarab
#

3600 has similar clocks to a 3700x so games should not bottleneck it, your cheapest option is to get a 3700x so just get that

bleak pike
#

the 3800X to the 3800XT is just a 200MHz difference in its boost clock

#

don't think I'll get that

final scarab
#

Decently faster than a 3700x tho

bleak pike
#

I think I'd still rather get a 3800X over a 3700X

final scarab
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#

3800x is the worst value imo lol

#

More cores is rly all you need so a 3700x is fine tho

bleak pike
#

I mean, it's $299.99, dropped from its $399.99 MSRP

#

but it's still just a slightly higher clock

#

I feel the 3700X is the more dominant option just because of its price

final scarab
#

Agreed

empty epoch
#

since people are talking about the 3700x deal rn, do yall think it's worth it to buy that now, or wait for black friday or 4000 series chips?

grim talon
#

Depends on your performance needs

#

If you need better performance than the 3700X, maybe wait. But the 3700X does have a smoking hot deal rn

empty epoch
#

def don't need better performance

#

kinda on a budget but i do want to have a good rig i won't have to upgrade for while since ima be going to college soon, not gonna be able to afford pc parts lol

grim talon
#

Well then what’s the point of waiting and potentially spending more money?

#

What GPU are you gonna use in this system

empty epoch
#

aiming for 2070s

#

maybe 3070 or something if it comes out quick enough

grim talon
#

Then even a Ryzen 3600 will work fine

#

Oh 3070 mmmmm

#

Then yeah probably 3700X or better

empty epoch
#

idk when thats gonna come out tho

#

and/or how much it'll cost

grim talon
#

If you’re gonna get 2070s, Ryzen 3600 will be fine. If you’re going for 3070, might wanna get 3700X or better

empty epoch
#

the other thing is i want ac valhalla, and if i get 3700x, i get that for free, but if i go 3600, ima have to shell out an extra $60

#

so at that point its like $30 diff between the two

grim talon
#

then 3700X is worth the extra $30 for sure

empty epoch
#

definitely

I am waiting for the new 3000 series to be released and idk if I want to buy half of my parts if there are deals

might as well wait for those holiday deals too right? I'd save a lot more money then that like 40 dollars

#

The only deal I see at a glance (I'm sure with digging there's some) that's worth immediate purchase is the ryzen 7 3800x with AC Valhalla for 299 that's a steal.

Everything else is like 20 bucks here, 8 dollars off there and it's just slightly underwhelming to me I'm also going to wait till holiday season to upgrade.
