>The PSP contains on-chip firmware which is responsible for verifying the SPI ROM and loading off-chip firmware from it. In 2019, a Berlin-based security group discovered the off-chip firmware in ordinary UEFI image files (the code that boots up the operating system), which meant that it could be easily analyzed. By using a few hand-written Python-based tools, they found that the off-chip firmware from the SPI ROM contained an application resembling an entire micro operating system.[6][7][8] Investigation of a Lenovo ThinkPad A285 notebook's motherboard flash chip (stores UEFI firmware) revealed that the PSP core itself (as a device) is run before the main CPU and that its firmware bootstrapping process starts just before basic UEFI gets loaded. They discovered that the firmware is run inside in the same system's memory space that user's applications do with unrestricted access to it (including MMIO) raising concerns over data safety.[6][7][8] Because PSP is the chip that decides whenever the x86 cores will run or not, it is used to implement hardware downcoring, specific cores on the system can be made permanently inaccessible during manufacturing. The PSP also provides a random number generator for the RDRAND instruction[9] and provides TPM services.

I don't think it's actually the motherboards themselves that have a dedicated PSP "chip" based off what I'm reading here, rather it just loads the firmware from the motherboard BIOS chip ever since UEFI became a thing.

Hi, /pcbg/, I have come to ask a few questions
What do you think of this build?
Processor: Intel i9 14900K
Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360
Mobo: Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite X WiFi7
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 64 GB (2x32GB) DDR5 6000 MHz
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090

If you are right, LGA1851 boards will possibly have only one socket-compatible CPU (Arrow Lake-S).
Only one Chinese source baselessly claims Panther Lake will be socket 1851 compatible with an unrelated PCI ID disclosure.
Everyone else is citing the same baseless source.

There needs to be a second 1851 socket-compatible chip before Panther Lake.

Do they require undervolting? Or any kind of per-core tinkering to get the most efficiency out of the chip?

AMD isn't competing at all, intel probably won't be able to churn out anything above mid range, so there will still be decently high demand for 4000s. As such, probably not much price decrease.

Somehow you think desktop patherlake will arrive a year later than mobile version when all the lakes before it releases desktop and mobile at the same year. you're just not making any sense. I accept your concession.
>>
>>101161532
No. Undervolting(per core or general) can help but far from necessary. Your tinkering options(on a standard motherboard at least) for x3d chips are limited anyway.
>>
>>101161576
You keep ignoring the fact that the canceled Meteor Lake desktop chips fucked up that little timeline.

Intel needs to release at least two CPUs for the LGA 1851 socket, and it's more likely to be Arrow Lake & Arrow Lake Refresh than Panther Lake.
Mobile Panther Lake chips don't even share the same pinout as Meteor Lake mobile chips (BGA2049), and you're expecting Panther Lake to be LGA1851 compatible.

>>

Why do you have horrible memories? Anyway there's no reason to not undervolt your CPU or GPU, even the crappiest silicon can still go down at least a few mV with minimal effort for better performance.

because It took me years to realize my 3700X was not as good as I wanted it to be, the moment I got my 12700k, performance skyrocketed. No more awful .1% low, no more high voltage on idle, no more shit CPU temps because the cooler was offset, no more tinkering besides a small undervolt, etc. I liked my 3700X but It was simply outclassed by the 12700K in basically everything.

Depends on whatever its price will be but sure. The card should last for years including 4k.
Only thing I wouldn't recommend it for is probably AI due to 16gb vram. Just get a cheaper 16gb, if you don't mind tinkering to get shit run AMD for more vram at similar price or spend more to get 4090/5090.

Look at this seething faggot, so angry he's writing in broken sentences.
There's no proof that Panther Lake will be LGA 1851 socket-compatible.
LGA 1851 boards will need at least two compatible CPUs before Intel releases new desktop boards.
I accept your concession.
>>
>>101161787
Yes, cpu is what I'm thinking. Is there any way to tell? At first I thought that one of the cores was constantly maxed out, but it's not the case. So maybe it's just too weak at cache things and scheduling performance?
>>
>>101161829
>At first I thought that one of the cores was constantly maxed out, but it's not the case.
CPU usage is a little hard to tell since you won't necessarily max it out on a display chart when it's bottlenecking you, but it is known that this game isn't very demanding and can run on worse GPUs than yours just fine which is why I'm making this assumption.

Thanks. I'm afraid the 40XX series will stay relevant for a very long time because Nvidia is supposedly going after AI next but I would rather have real rasterization performance and good power efficiency. The 30XX series is already showing its age because devs can't optimize properly.

This is probably a decent starting build, deliberately left out the video card because I don't want to make that decision for you.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zWMDL9

Some of the parts in the list are discounted for a limited time, lower the CPU to a regular Ryzen 5 7600 if the price suddenly balloons.
I don't like cases with RGB fans and a tempered glass side panel, but you can't beat the overall package of that case.

Don't listen to people criticizing that Gigabyte board, it's been tested to have good CPU power delivery. Overkill for a 7600X.
There are obviously better motherboards, but I picked the most affordable (& good) one to help you buy a better video card.
You can always get a +$200 board and lower the video card to a 4060 or something.

My old PC is getting outdated slowly and I would like to build a new one. I am currently not inside the PCB-Bubble so I don't really have an idea what to set up.
I am in Germany. The price should be 2000 Euros max.
My use cases are gaming on nice settings, game development and some Blender rendering here and there.
When I run long Blender renders the PC might run for some hours. That's okay but I'd like to keep the energy consumption relatively low (no Intel CPU pls). Also I would like having 1-2TB SSD storage.
>>
>>101162306
Great then if you're gaming I recommend the 7800X3D bundle for $470, but if you need multithreaded CPU productivity stuff then one of their Intel bundles, 13700K for $500 looks good. Here's a build based on the 7800X3D:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bsbrkJ

GPU can be swapped for a 7900 GRE if you don't mind spending a bit more or a 4070 Super if you want Nvidia.

Super Flower is a brand with a very good reputation but I can't find anything about a "zillion" PSU. It's probably safe though. And yeah you can easily feed a low end card like a 3060 with that.

>idk much abt motherboards either
That board has no native WiFi & BlueTooth and has limited storage expansion slots (2x M.2 for NVMe drives, 4x SATA ports).
The PCIe x16 lane (video card slot) is also limited to PCIe 4.0, but not even the RTX 4090 fully saturates this data lane.

If you're looking for a board with WiFi & Bluetooth, these two are alternatives, but I wouldn't get the AORUS Elite AX at your budget.
It only has slightly better power delivery and a thicker PCB layer (8 vs. 6) over the Eagle board.

Slightly over budget, drop the video card down to a 4070 Ti Super if you need to.
Swap the CPU to a 7900/X if you need the extra cores for multithreaded productivity loads.

This is the 4070 Ti Super I'd buy in Germany.

>>101164221
You shouldn't be fucking with gamma in an ideal world - just about everything on pc is mastered around a gamma value of 2.2 and that is what your screen should be calibrated to (or as close as you can get - use this for a "good enough" eyeball calibration http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ ).

>brightness? a real spec or a meme?
Depends on exactly what part we are discussing. For typical usage 200nits is a fair bit of brightness when you are sitting laptop/desktop close. When HDR comes into play bigger number better (though it isn't quite that simple).

>is 250nits shit?
On a shitastic lcd, yes. On a decent LCD, not really. On an OLED no due to the higher contrast inherent to the display type.

>should I unironically get a 500+nits LCD?
500 nits will scorch your eyeballs in daylight and in a dark room (again remember how close you are sitting) is like looking at a flashbang for SDR content. Again HDR usage complicates things.

>>
Im building a secondary PC with my some of my old hardware but I don't know much about PSU in general. Is a 500w 80 plus enough for this setup?

Cpu: Ryzen 5 5600x
Cpu fan: PA 120
Gpu: RTX 3060
Mobo: Gigabyte b450m ds3h v2
Ram: 16 GB(1x8) DDR4 3200Mhz
>>
>>101164852
It should be fine but kind of on the edge, you want a good PSU manufacturer above all.
>>
>>101164820
Ripple is possible but it's more regulation
A bad PSU could allow voltages to rise beyond the limits for components when there is a minor surge on the AC line or a very sudden load that causes the PSU voltage to drop and it overshoot to compensate. After a certain point however all PSUs have good enough regulation. If your looking at two different mid-range or high-end PSUs minor differences in regulation doesn't matter as they all have protections to prevent themselves from exceeding safe voltages.

Realistically however a defective PSU is more than likely going to harm components more than anything when the PSU dies. Can't really control that unfortunately as even the best brands will have their fair share of defective units. No PSU is safe either from major surges

In Germany, max 2000 € budget, but still need a monitor (I'll focus on that once this part is settled). PSU is 86.89 € but doesn't show on pcpartpicker. I already have mouse, keyboard, and a 1TB Crucial MX500 2.5" SSD, which would be my secondary drive for things that still need a SSD, but not as fast as a NVME. Here's the list and the case's page:
>https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/Rd247R

1. Is this spec fully compatible with W10 Enterprise IoT LTSC 2021, I don't want to use W11 yet.
2. Does the case fully fit all the components with no issues?
3. Are there better alternatives for each slot within the same price or spec range? I'd rather pay a bit more for quieter components; I think the PSU is already the most quiet in that range.

Thanks for any help or advice.

Just saying "Nvidia shills" doesn't help your argument. I checked out benchmarks and 4070 super is better than the 7900 GRE in a lot of remarks. Yes, the latter is also better in a few others, but for I want a new computer for, the Super seems to be on top... UNLESS you have good reasons why buying the card itself, regardless of the manufacturer, is bad idea.

this guy can stop them with whatever fan controller he's using but he says they spin at 100% for a second when they start which might get annoying

i realized that i had the PWM fan from zalman cnps9900max that i could test. it turned off its LED and stopped, so asrock B650I lightning wifi is confirmed to actually cut off the power. le hecking based. i'll check more reviews but as you can see in pic related, lian li uni p28 seems to perform better than noctua nf-a12 at medium to high speeds while being cheaper than i could realistically hope to get new/unused nf-a12 chromax for on the secondary market. my delidded 8600G is efficient enough to run at 0 rpm fan speed in light loads.

I'm not really paranoid about temps per se. I know that x3d has the thermal limit of 95 so I'm not really worried about that cause during testing I could reach round 80 but never 90. But I wasn't liking that during idle it kept pumping 60c even though load on cpu was barely 8%.could it be that my case needs more working fans? Right now I only have 2 CPU fans, + 2 chassis fans, but there are more fans in the case that came with it that aren't even working. Should I buy something like a splitter to have more of them working?

modern chips can handle the heat, AMD says they can run at 95C for years. it takes manually setting a high voltage and running a high current load to ruin a chip any time soon.

It's faster outside of avx512 though
>>
>>101166865
The chip is fine, getting more fans or a completely new case isn't going to noticeably improve the longevity of that processor.
If it makes you feel safer, make the change(s).
They are validated to run at maximum operating temps for consecutive years given voltage and current is under control.

hello anons, not sure if this is the right place but I bought an OLED alienware monitor back in February when the first 360hz ones dropped (so I can make use of my 7900xtx) but the more I play games, I notice these little patterns in dark locations and occasional corner flickering.
I initially assumed it could be a rendering technique or game specific but I noticed it happening on my PS4 too.
I plugged my old monitor in just to fully make sure it wasn't a gpu issue and low and behold no fucking lines, leading me to believe the oled is at fault.
is this normal for oleds or should i return this shit asap?

ok so lian li uni p28 doesn't seem to have the best noise to performance ratio for pure airflow but for static pressure like in this test with a radiator it has the best noise to performance at 40-60% fan speed. noctua nf-a12 is better at super low speeds but at that point i would be in 0 rpm mode i think. so i might get just a single lian li uni p28 with free shipping for the cpu cooler and reuse my arctic p12 argb as a case fan since case fans don't need as much static pressure so it seems unnecessary to buy an extra lian li uni p28 just to use as a case fan.

PC gaming is overpriced and dead as a genre.

The cheapest new entry to desktop gaming is $600 USD which is doing the bare minimum build of a Ryzen 5500 with an RX 6600, 1080p 144hz monitor.

Ebay is filled with poojeet scammers and people that markup the price either because they are greedy jews (even though it costs $8 at most to ship a small CPU) yet they add $60-80 tacked on to what it should be worth a $30 Ryzen 3600.

PC gaming is only for richfags nowadays.

If you don't have $2000 USD just don't even attempt to build a gaming PC nowadays.

Also don't recommend the steam deck LCD, it's garbage and $300 is still too much.

I only got an RX 6600 because it was on sale -20% off on amazon at 170 and I had got a $200 gift card for my birthday from a boomer family member.

The NH-D15G2 has a profile of 165mm, which is exactly the max clearance of my case, whereas the TPS120SE has a profile of 154mm and is $70 cheaper, so it makes me lean towards that. Will it really be enough?

A big reason I'm upgrading my CPU is that it's overheating (I'm just using the stock cooler), probably just needs to be cleaned and thermal paste re-applied, but if I'm already going through the trouble I might as well just upgrade my cooler, which I've been wanting to do for a while. But I've wanted to upgrade my CPU for a while as well and I have some money to spend anyway so I figured I'd just go all out and upgrade the CPU as well as the cooler. So keeping my CPU cool enough is important to me (plus I think Elden Ring is crashing because the CPU is overheating :/)

for the price difference you can buy any replacement fans. with a $300 budget it doesn't make sense to buy a premiumeme brand cooler. the cpu should just throttle with heat and not crash.
>>
>>101168563
No one can decide for you if it's "worth it" because that's subjective
Do you (know) you value the colours, contrast ratio, response times, peak brightness/HDR, etc. that OLED provides? That it could be worth it
Do you value longevity of the panel over the above specs? OLED's drawback of burn-in might not be a problem to you personally if you're a richfag for example. You could just replace it with a new one (with newer OLED tech)
Basically, you need to take that leap of faith and just try it out if this'll be your first OLED monitor

it depends
any ips is pretty similar to each other besides the high end 480hz with bfi/ulmb2, pretty good pixel response times, absolutely hideous contrast

Does buying a more expensive overkill motherboard in a given OEM's lineup mean it should last longer even if I'm pairing it with a lower-end CPU and don't need any of the extra features? I only upgrade every 8-10 years.

For example, comparing these two B760 SKUs from Gigabyte here:
https://pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/wdjBD3,Kc6p99/
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B760-DS3H-AC-DDR4-rev-1x#kf
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B760-AORUS-MASTER-DDR4-rev-10#kf
It's ~$135 vs. ~$280, will paying more the heftier heatsink, vrm, and whatever else mean it should last longer?

Reading NO-POST troubleshooting threads online, I see that the mobo is one of the most likely culprits for failure in a system and if you are 5 years in to owning one, finding a replacement is nearly impossible and usually means upgrading the CPU (and likely RAM) as well just to get back running. I don't care about extra features/specs but if spending an extra $50-100 would mean several more years of lifetime on the board I can budget for that.

What specific parts of the motherboard fail the most often anyway?

Is there a scenario where at 1440p I get benefit upgrading 5600x to 5700x3d with 3070? OR for that 3080 12gb or even 40xx series needed?

I don't think the gains would justify the cost if you already have a Zen 3 CPU.

I think you're unnecessarily comparing two extreme ends of motherboard SKUs, there's also no need to limit your options to B760 chipset since Z790 boards are frequently discounted.
The Z790 Aorus Elite AX DDR4 is available @ $180 (31% off) and has 16+1+1 VRM design with 60A SPS.
That's the board to buy.

why are you looking at extremely tiny perf increments
if you wanted a 3080 buy a 3080 instead of 3070 in the first place

Was a summer sale for 5700x3d going 150euros, while they are sold for ~230 euros here. Thinking if changing 5600x to it will bring better performance, or the main issue is my 3070.

well sure if you can get 5700x3d for 150€ its cheap, its just wont be noticeable improvement in most situations at 1440p since theres gpu bottlenecks and 5600x is still good.

The gpu is also still good, just wait for 50xx before upgrading. If you buy 5080 in 6 months that'll bring some noticeable fps gains

so take 5700x3d and then get 5080 when I get enough money, or just dump for some extra cash and get 5080 someday while having 5600x?

5700x3d is better paired with 5080 than 5600x so it'd be a decent setup
