The last reasonably priced SSD i'll ever buy.
>>107911129i regret my samsung drives a bit because they have total ass performance on linux from the benchmarks i've seen which will make jumping ship from windows hard if im forced to.
>>107911169I'll live, I have an SN850X as well.
>>107911169Most people won't even notice the performance degradation.
Also, side note.I can confirm it takes ~1 month for 4chan to stop doing the multi-image captcha verification.I was on single image verification until I got my new PC on December 18th. Then I was back to doing 3-picture verification.Then a week or two ago it switched to 2-picture verification, then last night (around the same time I finished building my PC 1 month earlier) it switched to just single image verification.So 1 whole month of posting to get back to "easy" captchas.
I need a cheap case that>has 360mm gpu support>supports 2 hdds and 2 sata ssds>supports 2 5.25 bays What are my options?
>>107911198i recently got sent back to the triple captcha hellscape due to a vacation and caved... i kneel, hiroshima-sama.
>>107911198that's a good implementation to discourage shitposting and spamming. if you get warned or banned, you should get punished by doing long and hard captchas again
>>107911214literally how it works>>107911210i think the main goal is selling more passes
>>107911210I use a cellular usb modem that i switch from plugging into my desktop/laptop/router and the latter two send me to 3-5 step hell especially on linux

>>107911276whatever
I pay $100 a month for electricity, what is the absolute maximum performance per watt I can extract with a 300w power budget, and with a idle wattage under 20 watts?
>>107910876Thoughts?
>>107911319undervolted rtx 5080 in a thunderbolt enclosure connected to a NUC.
>>107911319>and with a idle wattage under 20 watts?not happening without buying a laptop or a mini-PC/Thinclient.
>>107911319single die ryzen (their apus for example) + nvidia gpusingle die intel 14th or 13th gen + nvidia gpuwhen it comes to idle power consumption that is. prob some i5 + 5060ti/ 5070ti with an undervolt and some tuning. no spinning rust. matx or itx board. a single fan cpu cooler. case without lights. low temps (high temps increase power consumption). i think ltt did a video on that but it is kinda outdated for specs.
>>107911342RTX 5080 alone is ~15W idle with a single 60hz monitor, and ~20-25W for high refresh rate, and 40-60W for multi-monitor high refresh rate idle power draw.
>>107911344Wronghttps://youtu.be/jv5wyM2Hp8U
>>107911360unplug the enclosure when 5080 is not in use. they're hotswap.
>>107911363That proves my point, even with his autism he was barely idling under 20W and basically had to cripple his PC to do it.>>107911366Lol oh okay
>>107911356oh yeah a small die nvidia gpu is ideal. smth like the one from the 5070ti or 5080 would fit the bill. the bigger ones have a higer power consumption at idle. my brothers 3060 12gb for example pulls like 11w with two monitors connected. one is a 1440p 144hz screen.
>>107911356I was wondering about this same thought experiment a while back to see if I could get anywhere close to matching my 3700/3060 Ti build>no spinning rustHehe, shame I didn't buy a 4-8TB SATA SSD before this even if it isn't 14TB... I was saving up to buy more Enterprise and registered ECC DDR5 to pair with a nice and green PCB motherboard or to pick up a workstation NVIDIA card if I don't get good silicon to undervolt and downclock a geforce card>ryzen apusSome of the low power Intel CPUs seemed like a better option due to estrogen cores and I think they had more cache than the Ryzen APUs which have less than their normal counterparts
My rig has the following drives>1TB NVMe>2TB NVMe (this one's still in the mail)>4TB SATA HDD>512GB SATA SSD (this was meant for a retro Windows XP rig that I gave up on so it's just sitting around not doing anything)I'm seeing an 8TB HDD on offer for ~$220 and something tells me I won't see anything cheaper any time soonShould I go for it?
>>107911327I wouldn't bother with those ASRock PSUs, especially when that model costs nearly $500. They are taking the piss with that price.https://old.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/1qcsn9n/cybenetics_antimelt_gpu_cable_prototype_aims_to/nzkhzo0/
>>107911327Does it have to be 1600w? I haven't checked Corsair 1500w but their 1000w models are good. I did notice that Seasonic didn't have fan protection either, rather silly for something so expensive...
>>107911425You're probably blind bc I can find 8TB for 210. Just buy whatever.
>>107911319even consoles don't use less than 20w when in idle mode or rest mode with a download going. and they're supposed to be about maximum efficiency:performance.
>>107911425>I'm seeing an 8TB HDD on offer for ~$220 and something tells me I won't see anything cheaper any time soonThat's not really a good price.I got a 22TB a few weeks ago for $420.
>>107911419>Some of the low power Intel CPUs seemed like a better option due to estrogen cores and I think they had more cache than the Ryzen APUs which have less than their normal counterpartsi just wanted to provide some context. i didn't want to say that all ryzen cpus can't be used but intel is def king with their single die monolithic cpu design when it comes to idle power consumption. i like my 7800x3d but 40w on the desktop is smth else. >>no spinning rust>Hehe, shamethey add like 10 to 15w when they spin. so it's not really worth it and anyone would just stop them from spinning down. i think a founders nvidia gpu is also prob smth good since the board partner cards often have higher idel power consumption. i also think corsair has a pus that has stupid levels of effisensy arround the whole power range. a lot of people who build effisent servers use them.
>>107911270it's been 1.5 hours or so and it still hasn't even finished transferring that pagefile file over. i might have to leave this running for a few days at this rate.
>>107911419e-cores aren't actually all that efficient so don't fall into the trap of believing Intel's marketing. They actually have higher power/mm3 than P-cores do. Raptor Lake probably still mogs arrow lake and ryzen just due to being monolithic though.
>>107911429Not particularly, I'm upgrading from a 1k corsair, but it seemed prudent to go for an atx3.1 instead of the older Corsair models
>>107911356>no spinning rustAkshually helium drives are pretty low wattage when idling
>>107911504Be aware that SeaSonic will be releasing new Prime PSUs with safer GPU protection features.I wouldn't spend $400~500 when a safer PSU design will be out, even if it takes 1~2 years to release.Even the mainstream Seasonic Focus 1000W should be good enough to safely power a 5090.https://seasonic.com/insights/seasonic-optiguard-for-gpu/
>>107911094>>107911097ray-dee-on
>>107911531Sure, 5-10W idle, 15-25W during spin-up.
>>107911531i have two ST12000NE0007 and they are still like 10 to 15w
is there any redemption for a waitfagyears more without a desktop
Why does pcpartpicker let me choose rdimm memory when there are no compatible rdimm mainboards listed?
>>107911581>ST12000NE0007 and they are still like 10 to 15wTotal maybe.Your drives LITERALLY can't pull more than ~10W each at full load. And idle around 3-5W.
>>107911327>>107911429>No fan failure protectionOvertemperature protection in these PSUs is enough to protect the PSU and the entire PC in the event of a broken PSU fan.It's not the end of the world to not have fan failure protection.
>>107911615idk man i got two of them and one of those power meter thingies and if spin them down i save like 25 to 30 w at idle.
I trust Seasonic PSUs I like having a reliable brand I can trust, like Wacom with pen tablets
>>107911581I better check my Toshiba MG07's
>77" LG B4 - 1397€>55" LG G5 - (was)1473€>55" samsung s95f - 1467€any reason not to take a 77" TV Pill
>see local MC has a MSI 5080 for $1180what's a fair price for a 5080? i want to coom with local diffusion
>>107911639i used to think this till i found out my old antec psu which was a rebrand of a highly rated seasonic psu, actually wasn't that good and was a housefire waiting to happen if used with modern components.
>>107911633anon, your motherboard ALSO uses power to power the SATA lanes. When your drives actually go to sleep (not just idle but still active) then your motherboard can put the SATA controller to sleep as well. Also, those power meter thingies are reading power draw from the wall, you're including your PSU's inefficiency in your calculation, and your PSU is probably only ~85-90% effieicnt. So your numbers are inflated from that as well. If I were to guess, ~10W is the SATA controller and chipset, ~8-12W for the HDDs, and then the remainder is just your PSU not being 100% efficient.
wanna get 9070 for my 3600 ryzen and some hot ass monitor
>>107911661Get a 77" G5.
>>107911485I would cancel and restart it with the additional flag I gave you (/XA:SH ) then bc the page file might have hung it. Are you sure it's not waiting on you to Y/N something? Can't say again bc I'm at work on a shit phone and would love to quick check on my own PC with what I got scripted, I don't memorize all parameters
waitfags we keep waiting and winningpanicfags keep panic buying
>>107911664$1180 for a 5080 Gaming Trio isn't too bad.It's bad for a 5080 Ventus/Shadow.
>>107911198i never had less than 3is it because i scrub my cookies everytime I can?
>>107911721Yes
>>107911562
>>107911705it's working as the progress percentage is going up, and it just finished the pagefile. it's just taking a long ass time. i think i'll just leave it till it's done and then verify everything afterwards.
>>107911712it's shadow, I guess I'll pass, thx fren
>>107911724welp.i dont mind it that much except for the stars one I hate that one with passion
>>107911425>$27 per TBIs this really the future were living in
>>107911426Werent Msi The ones to come up with the yellow connector thing and how if the yellow is still visible it isnt plugged in
>>107911094nice faggot opu keep saying how 8gb is not enough for 1080 yet i run everything on my 6gb cardliteral faggot shills
>>107911774Just make 4chan an exception when you clear cookies.
>>107911783I LOVE GOING BACK TO 2013
>>107911783No, he's just a retard.$19-24/TB is still available.
ROG Strix XG32UCWGAnyone own this? I want a new monitor, is this too much for a 5070TI? I like that the stand is small I don't use monitor arms so that's a big plus
>>107911783Better than $200 per TB with SSDs due to gay AI faggotry.
>>107911787It's not about the yellow connector, the thermal protection thermistor shilled by ASRock is measuring the ground pin's temperature when the overheating +12V pins cause the connector to melt.The overtemperature warning kicks in too late.You could argue it's better than nothing, but I'd rather get a different high-end PSU and install everything properly.I don't care if FSP built that ASRock PSU.
>>107911851are you really going to use refresh rate above 144Hz?
>>107911864>measuring the ground pin's temperature when the overheating +12V pins cause the connector to melt.How do you fuck this up?
>>107911454Really? I'm based in the UK so that's probably why I'm seeing worse prices
>>107911903It only does 4K at 165Hz and I doubt 5070TI will reach that anyway
>>107911921you can get a 2tb sn580 for £79.99 right now
>>107911921UK HDD prices are shit, have been for years and they've gotten worse since last year. We always pay way more than Americans do for HDDs. SSD prices were good but they've ben getting shit too now
>>107911903Not him but yes.
>>107911914It's ASRock's cable design, but someone at FSP should've suggested something better.
