That's a quality unit (LLC/DC-to-DC conversion typology) and those components are light enough that you should be fine. Looks like it splits the 12v rail into two so you'd want to use the larger +12V1 rated @ 28A (336W rating out of the sustained 500W output) to be extra safe though really the +12V2 @ 20A (240W) should still be okay.

whats your budget?
I'd say go for an AM5 socket Mobo since theres a ton of variety and its incredibly future proof, just avoid known stinker models (apparently Asrocks have been killing CPUs). RAM is very cheap now, so theres no reason to go for less than 2x16 DDR5, but if you are looking to just get a system together now and are sure to get some extra cash for upgrades in a year or two, then you can get a single 16Gb DDR5 stick and buy a second identical one down the road for dual channel. M.2 SSDs are cheap with even the more "premium" samsung stuff going for about 100€ per tera, while theres other reliable options for half that price/Tb. At the same time 6Gbit SATA SSDs are still quite capable for running your OS and programs and are quite a bit cheaper, i would still rather an M.2 for OS. Dont cheap out on thermal paste and cooling, quality paste/pads are about the same price as the cheap garbage (you'll save 5€ at most if you go for no name chinesium instead of stuff like duronaut or MX-6). Tower style CPU coolers are pretty effective for budget CPUs and typically go for 30-50€, while a decent case also goes for 50-100€, but you can always just get a garbage office case for free, just make sure it suports your part sizes. Dont cheap out on PSU, cheap PSUs destroy PCs and its a part thats gonna stay in once its in, trust me you wont be thinking "time to upgrade my PSU!" any time in the future, so get a good one, and dont go below 500 watts.

After writing all this crap i refreshed and saw your budget of 1000€, get a good AM5 mobo B650 and B850 models go for about 100-180 euro, dont be a kike. Ive found ryzen 5 9600x for 190€, 9700x for about 300 etc, so pick and choose depending on pricing, the older 7000 line is also still good, and if you can find a 7800X3D for less than 300 its a good deal. Get a decent case with mounting options on the top and front, dont get one of those enclosed meme cases that barely allow any airflow for the fans

>>106520559
cont.
get 2x16Gb DDR5 ram, id say at least 5200Mhz and CL32, CL36 still works just fine. Consider an AIO watercooling kit for your CPU, especially if you get an X3D (you'll destroy it without one). Get an M.2 and in terms of GPU, B580s are cheap, 200-300€, but also check out the used market in northern europe.

>Is there any point in getting Mobo with wifi
do you need it? Theres usb plug and play solutions for WiFi connectivity if you cant just use a UTP cable, but WiFi is pretty much standard on mid to high end mobos now. If you see a mobo that has all the features you want and is reasonably priced then get it whether or not its got WiFi.
>>106520679
>>Consider an AIO watercooling kit for your CPU, especially if you get an X3D
>u wot m8
if you go for a CPU with higher thermal output then just get a good watercooler, its about 100€ for a lot of peace of mind. If you are going with stuff like R5 x600 then radiator+fan setups for 30-50€ are enough.

>finally can get it at msrp but now it's time to justwait(tm) for the next gen
this is why you always just buy as soon as you have the money to do so, never wait, because a 3 month wait as you said can easily go up to 6-9 months or even skipping a whole generation/refresh

>>106521147

>>106521048
>should i get a 5070TI or justwait(tm) for the supers?
The extra vram will only be useful for AI related stuff (Image generation, LLM, Video enhancement, video interpolation), if you don't need that there's not really a point to wait.

I'm sort of debating whether I should sell my 5080 and get a 5080 super when they come out since I could use the extra vram.

A few things
>QDOLED fringing
applicable across all qdoled monitors, gives you eye strain due to the inability to focus on sharp lines due to the diamond shaped subpixels, 140ppi 4k 32" is not enough, some reports saying 27" 4k fixed it for some, some people still complain it's not enough, maybe 220ppi 5k is enough to smooth this over so subpixels don't become annoying
due to the G80SD having a matte coating this effect is actually reduced ALOT compared to the glossy variants, I tried one before and it was like my eyes were searing out and it was even more extreme, I'm still wondering if it's that bad on here, but its there for sure

>Displayport blackouts
Disconnects on random for 2-3 seconds, usually when starting from a cold state after 7-12 minutes after starting, something like this

>Game bar pop up every time you start monitor

>>106521600
>Disconnects on random for 2-3 seconds, usually when starting from a cold state after 7-12 minutes after starting, something like this
my 480hz oled has to be power cycled to turn on just about 90% of the time I login to windows from it being asleep. I think there's something wrong across the board on these style panels if you have similar issues.

look, if you want the best text clarity, you need to go with a lcd panel in this time period. The dse on my 480hz would make a pixel peeking schizo go crazy.

don't have to power cycle think it wakes up fine, had a philips oled before and it was waking up just fine, the problem there was the firmware was so horrid with the forced pixel refreshes, also more extreme fringing due to glossy
but yes many screens have various issues and black screening has been reported on alot of them, philips was rock solid not a single black out over usb-c dp though so idk, can be cable problem, monitor overheating, drivers, firmware, software, who knows

>best text clarity, you need to go with a lcd panel
problem is it's not even just text, it's all objects, and it's not like you even need to think about it or look for it, it will effect you without thinking about it (unable to focus vision)
it will be crazy eye straining, depending on (You) of course
don't know if I was going crazy or not but apparently not
maybe 220ppi will be good enough, you need to brute force way higher res than 4k if you wanna match 4k lcd due to the triangle subpixels
that's why I wonder if WOLED would be better and less eye straining, it's normal aligned rgb with a white subpixel, since it fixed eye strain for many people over qd, but then instead of you have other issues that might also give eye strain

The way I understood it from reviews:
The jump from 1440p@27" (122 PPI) to 4K@32" (140PPI) reduces apparent fringing visibility from like 70% to 30%
Then the move from 4K@32" (140PPI) to 4K@27" (163 PPI) reduced it further from 30% to >10%, so the move to 5K/220PPI should bring it under >1%

Failing that, maybe CSOT/TCL will save us:

Techspot is blatantly pretending scalping wasn't a thing and everyone was able to get a 4080 at MSRP. Even today it's not a $200 difference, it's more like $300-500 unless you buy used lmao. Such a jewish thing to even say. Why stop at $200 when you can spend $400 more and get the 5080.

Best ways to remove a humming resonance sound from my phanteks xt pro ultra case (with stock fans)? I got a pack of rubber screws but they don't fit properly. I have an air cooler (phantom spirit 120mm) and the 140mm stock fans are in the default configuration (3 in the front, one back exhaust). The resonance happens at idle tempatures and low rpm's.

>>106522823
Remove the fans
airflow is a meme
electronics are supposed to get hot

>>106522823
Set one of the front fans to have a different RPM curve than the others.

Set a static fan speed where the resonance is less noticeable or eliminated.
You could also buy some spacers that might improve the operating noise; it doesn't have to be Noctua's.

9900X can be air-cooled, depending on your workloads.

You mean a temp sensor? I doubt the fan is acting werid since the fan spikes at exactly the same time as the clock.
The clock is maxing out at random intervals.
Also I installed the shitty zotac program only after this started so I could monitor the clock and fan.

Check if there's a vBIOS update for your card. Maybe Zotac deliberately set the fans to work that way.
Processors are rarely fully idle, especially if you have GPU acceleration enabled for your web browsers.
You could undervolt the card to lower the operating voltage (925~975mV is perf/efficiency sweet spot).

You guys didn’t exactly give me the best (or really any) advice about repasting my laptop since you were too busy arguing over GPUs like usual, but I am going to look into replacing the thermal pads I used to repaste it with putty as one anon suggested without offering a reason as to why.

Asrock has PCIe5 support, and being the B650 it shouldn't fry my 7000 CPU.

Why only B650 you ask? Simple, Wifi7 is not supported by Windows 10, and I will stay on W10.

I checked it out for you. I think you should go ahead with fehonda's ltp81 since its fairly easy to buy off aliexpress and performs somewhere between the TG Advance and Pro putties.
The TG putty Pro is slightly better (2C or so) than the ltp81 putty but its significantly pricier at about 3x the cost per gram and its not as easy to spread as the ltp81 putty.
And honeywell ht10000 is the best putty on paper but its even pricier than the TG Pros and there's a risk of buying counterfeits since Honeywell doesn't sell directly to customers. The Laird Tputty 910 has the same problem as the Honeywells.

>>106523383
It's better than those ALC897 crap for sure.

I know cause I needed to switch my mainboard a month ago, my Asrock Fatality mini-ITX from 2017 said farewell. It had the ALC1220, and now I had to get an interim solution, stayed with Asrock, but this cheap one only has ALC897.

AMD Radeon was forced to accept the reality that they have to discount their inferior, not better, RDNA3 cards.
They dedicated a section to highlight the 9070 XT having an "Optimized Monolithic Design" in one of their feature slides.
The fact that AMD decided it was worth marketing that change is an admission that the RDNA3 was an "Unoptimized Trash Heap".

False equivalence.
RTX 5080 and 5070 Ti Supers are rumored to be using the same GPU with an upgraded VRAM capacity.
RTX 5070 Super is expected to get the memory capacity upgrade + a minor increase in compute cores.
No major GPU design changes are going on.

The MCM variant of RDNA3 is so bad, AMD had trouble finding OEM buyers, and the flawed design is the reason why the 7800 XT and 7700 XT provided very little gen-over-gen improvement.
Valve is the only major customer rumored to be interested in an AMD APU with an RDNA3 GPU, but it's the monolithic (RX 7600) variant, not the trash that's designed for the 7900 XTX.

>The fact that AMD decided it was worth marketing that change is an admission that the RDNA3 was an "Unoptimized Trash Heap".
Not really, they are simply trying to justify the reason why they are launching the same GPU again. There’s no real increase in performance, outside of RT and AI, so marketing is trying to find any changes and present them in a positive light

Ofc, almost the entire 4000 series has been refreshed, including the graphics chips themselves, because that series was such a failure…
7900xtx wasn’t refreshed though and they released it again in the next gen, ofc they aren’t equivalent

>>106524857
Intel paid more marketing money because Arrow Lake isn't selling well enough.

64GB OR 48GB?

Why is 48GB becoming popular

>>106524927
24/48GB DDR5 modules with low CL generally use Hynix-M die.
These are supposedly easier on the memory controller and can run faster than low CL 16/32GB kits with Hynix-A die.
Hynix-A die kits can stably set tighter timings.

>>106524927
>Why is 48GB becoming popular
2x 24GB setup is a single rank configuration that is less stressful on the memory controller.
2x 32GB config uses dual-rank memory modules.
It mostly matters if you're planning to run the memory at 8000MT/s or faster.

RDNA3 for steam deck 2 is such a mistake. I get that the switch 2 uses architecture that’s even older, but RDNA4 is really necessary to get feature parity with ampere’s DLSS. Let’s hope the back port of FSR4 to RDNA 3 is solid.

The difference of going from 100Mbits to 1Gbps (my current max) is ENORMOUS
it cannot be understated
More than 1 person in the house or several people using 100? good luck choking everything constantly with the smallest shit, absolute dog shit

Downloading a 50Gb game on 100Mbit? 1 hour 7 minutes, keep in mind clogging the entire network for this time also
on 1Gig? 6 minutes 40 seconds

People who willingly use slower internet for "money savings" are not human, simple as.

>RDNA3 for steam deck 2 is such a mistake.
Valve isn't going to use RDNA3 GPU architecture for the Deck 2, it's more likely to be RDNA5/UDNA or later.
This AMD APU with RX 7600 GPU is for a different line of Steam PC devices; they are trying to make cheaper gaming PCs to keep growing Steam's user base.

Just lower your brightness and use dark mode, indian man.

>>106526212
Lower the monitor's brightness to reasonable levels?
Around 120 ~ 150 nits is enough for SDR content, you raise it according to the ambient lighting.

I bought a 350 nits monitor to enjoy all 350 of them god damn it!
In seriousness, the brightness setting is on the default, which is 30 out of a max of 50. Is it a real "brightness" (nits/candela) setting, like PWM dimming or whatever on phones and laptops, or does this adjust the colors like adding a brightness/contrast adjustment mask in photoshop?
It's a 27 inch Samsung G5 G50D IPS 1440p180hz fwiw

Hey, I disabled HDR and local dimming because I read they're garbage on my model. I think I also had to enable G-Sync from the monitor settings before the Nvidia drivers could detect it?

Unironically njudea should be designated as a terrorist organization.

So much cope.
RDNA 3's dual-issue capability underperforms in games because software and architectural limitations prevent it from achieving its theoretical performance uplift.
The GPU compiler and driver have difficulty fully utilizing the dual-issue feature in gaming loads.

RDNA 4's dual-compute unit is a new and more reliable method for increasing throughput per CU.
Each dual CU contains two independent CUs, each with its own control logic and resources.

Go ahead and brag about owning a busted GPU that's missing 15~20% of its intended performance.

I built a pc with 3080 close to its launch and I played less than a dozen AAA games to completion and spent more time playing indie porn games, cs2, or watching youtube.

3gb or 6gb? If it’s the 3gb, it’s literally worthless. 6gb worth the $20, though. So crazy how going up just one gen changes everything. I sold my 2060 for $200 earlier this year.

I have a 1080p secondary monitor is it worth upgrading to 4k secondary monitor?

What size PSU do you need nowadays? For AMD CPU probably not much, but for a discount 14600k + personally max <300W gpu (don't want that much heat). My 10 year old Seasonic s12ii 620w 80+ bronze has obnoxiously loud fan when gaming and only had one 4 pin for CPU which might be the reason why my 10600k overclocking ability is so bad.

650W, 750W, 850W?
