its ultimately a highly technically complicated product that requires the typical billions of investment to make a single fab with asml machines and clean rooms
theres a lag to it because the fabs take years to come online

AI is a bubble and many expect it to pop so the demand may not go on forever. No one knows where the money to pay for all the datacenters is meant to come from.

So you're saying I should hodl my cash and wait for a dotcom bubble 2.0 to happen? Jokes aside, AI is pretty great with research and statistics. The niggers eating all the RAM and memory are the image generators. Notice how memory issues weren't a problem up until OpenAI's videoslop generator released.

You should be aware that the NA-STPG1 is just like a tiny sheet of plastic, though. It's not even remotely worth $9. I know it's Noctua, but it's a pretty insultingly priced piece of shit.

Hard to say. In testing it's a very, very good unit with very little to complain about. The exploding be quiet! PSUs were largely limited to Straight Power/Dark Power Pro 13 products (the Dark Power 13 non-Pro didn't seem to have any issues and the Dark Power 12 Pro is well-regarded) so it should be a safe bet. be quiet! also has enough of a presence online that you could tweet or post to their Reddit page if you needed immediate attention with regards to the warranty/RMA process.
If cable length wasn't a concern, and I had to pick between the two, I'd go with the be quiet!.

>I don't think AI datacenters need that much RAM, SSDs and GPUs.
Then you have no idea what you are thinking about.
4.1k+ datacenters in USA alone
8k+ world wide
500+ will be built per year until 2030
Hardware cycle - every 3-5 years datacenters fully restock their hardware, shredding used ones in the process and harvesting the scrap for rare earths.
Current global output cannot match this demand, all of it will be consumed without fault. This alone would create massive issues but this is just one part of the problem.
Wafer manufacturers - RAM/NAND cartel were closing production lines for the past 3 years, including Q4 of 2025. Their arguments - "depressed low margin market, we overproduced, it is not profitable".
Datacenter boom started in 2023. They are cutting down since 2023.
They are not increasing their production.
RAM cycle - each generation has a period of shortage that rises prices, increases demand and thus leads to massive overproduction that floods the market and inevitably crashes it. That is no longer possible.
Because no matter how much they make AI will buy it all.
>it is a bubble
Funded by USA's finest printers. AI fiesta has reached the level of national arms race. They won't go down before USA does.
AI is buying the full yearly output of wafer manufacturers, every single wafer they are willing to sell AI will buy at a premium. Price isn't a concern, they will buy and pay upfront.
You will be competing for the same wafer with AI(USA printer), hardware OEM manufacturers like ASUS, MSI, NVIDIA & AMD and phone manufacturers, by the way Samsung(cartel) isn't willing to sell its wafers to Samsung(phone) because they can get a better deal with AI.
Good luck.

I still don't know the endgame for what all these datacenters is
My mind only imagines it's not for whatever they are saying it is, be that agi or better chatbots or whatever
I can only imagine they are going to be used to create a massive surveillance system that tracks every single human on the planet and can immediately dispatch AI drones and bots to arrest or kill them immediately on the spot
the only problem with that is not a single government is competent enough to carry it out
>>
>>107585306
The problem with AI is software optimization and these dumbfucks are trying to fix this issue with hardware. It wasn't that long ago that these niggers got scared with deepseek. If that watershed moment happens again and people realize they can create their own models without them as proprietary middlemen and run it on a calculator locally, these people are giga fucked.

Seeing two bundle deals:
>Intel Core i7-14700K, ASUS Z790-Plus TUF Gaming WiFi D5, G.Skill Ripjaws S5 32GB Kit DDR5 6000, Computer Build Bundle
$599
>AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, ASUS B650E-E TUF Gaming WiFi AM5, G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit, Computer Build Bundle
$679

My current system is a 8700k (lol) with 32GB DDR4. I was going to get a DDR4-compat mobo and an Intel CPU, but given the volatility in the tech market I figure I just want to buy once cry once. I'd have to get a new NVME for the OS and all but I'll do that afterwards. I'll be keeping my GPU (4070) but also new PSU and so on.

Alternative would be the B760 Asus TUF or something + 14700k which would be what, 300 for CPU plus 160 or something from amazon = 200 dollars cheaper
>>
>>107585430
the amb bundle seems like it'll be out of stock soon
>>
>>107585430
Don't buy the 14700K if you can't tune it (changing CPU AC/DC loadline & voltage regulator's LLC, and setting a light CPU undervolt).
Board manufacturers chose the easy/lazy way to set up the default settings for these chips, they'll run quite power inefficiently at stock settings even with the newest BIOS.

Money is still money so unless they went coo-coo and want world dominance or some other loony shit, this "shortage" shouldn't last more than that. Though the price hike will be staying with us until the end of the decade for above mentioned reasons.

AM5 doesn't need the contact frame, Intel CPUs needed it to prevent the IHS from warping.

Yeah, I have to decide pretty much tonight.

I won't have all the remaining parts (Case, Cooler, PSU, OS SSD), I'll buy them over the next few months but this feels like a circumstance where I shouldn't just sit and wait to have it all in one fell swoop. And looking at the [spoiler]reddit[/spoiler] thread I saw it in people are saying this bundle was about the same price beforehand, give or take.

>>107585511
I'm an advanced brainlet, so while I would be able to look up the bios shit (and I did update my bios on the current system) that definitely dissuades me from 14700k. I did see last thread people were saying that AMD runs hot, but apparently someone said AMD is hot idle but not as hot active and Intel is vice versa. Besides gaming the only intense shit I do is photoshop and substance painter and if my 2017 era CPU can handle that I'm sure AMD will be able to.

>>107585525
>Don't forget to trash that 4070 for a Radeon card.
See now you feel like a faux-shill trying to bamboozle me. I remembered getting this on /g/ when I asked about 4070 versus AMD's 2 years ago. It's very silly.

But yeah I went and locked it in and ordered it. Going to go drive and pick it up tomorrow unless they go "teehee we're out of stock".

You should still test that new CPU, motherboard, & memory while you can return it.
It doesn't need a fancy new PSU to check whether they're working.

First-time memory training can take up to 5~15 minutes, updating the board BIOS can improve memory stability.

To buy a 9070 XT or not to buy a 9070 XT
My 6700 XT is mostly fine for what I'm already doing, but I'll likely go 4K instead of 1440p in the coming years
The thing is I haven't found a game that would justify it aside from maybe the upcoming Nioh 3, so that would be a purchase pretty much driven by the fear of discrete GPUs suddenly costing $9999 tomorrow
I suppose I can not care and Just Wait™ however long it takes, but it would be a bummer to have no display out in the event that my current GPU were to die

A 9070xt will litterally double your FPS at any resolution, buuuut it's still up in the air how long it'll be supported after AMD cucked 7000 series out of new features due to switching to monolithic die from chiplets. UDNA will come out in like 18 months, and it'll have even better raytracing than RDNA4.

Even if all that is true, it'll probably take until UDNA 2 for AMD to work out the kinks and finally have true parity with Nvidia. UDNA 1 buyers are beta testers, so buying a 9070xt right now isn't the worst option.

Want to upgrade from my RTX 3080 before GPUs go up in price and these ones seem to be the best in price to performance ratio.
Thing is, they don't support FSR Redstone (yet?) and I really want proper AI Frame Gen.

The 9070 XT is a tad more expensive, don't mind spending the extra money but I would prefer to save as much as possible.

To give you some reassurance, the two power ports labeled "PCIe" on the PSU are specced to safely deliver anywhere between 300~600W individually.
The wattage depends on the PSU's total power capacity.
Each of the two 6+2 pin power cables that split from that "PCIe" connector should be rated to provide 300W of power if be Quiet used high-quality AWG cables.

It's basically the opposite of what old PSUs have to do to deliver 600W of power through a 12V-2x6 GPU power connector.

I've bought a 3090 with 3 PCI-E slots, and it seems my new PSU has 3, but one of them is a 2-in-1 cable. Is that why the system fails to boot?

Should I worry about retarded differences in pinout between manufacturers? Can't seem to find an adapter for my brand, but the 12 pin housefire slot/connector should be standardized, right?

With a 5070 Ti I can wait for a 10070 to upgrade. I'm sure they'll skip the number 8 once again for funne reasons. Assuming each generation is about 3 years best case (worst case?), that'll be 9 years. It'll still be supported on drivers by then!

Is it? All it did was get multi frame gen. There really isn't the same kind of jump on the horizon like RTX was over GTX. If anything it is a feature refresh which has the potential to last shorter, though with progress slowing down due to Moore's Law being a cleaned-off skeleton by now that will be the better reason to say that the 50 series will have long legs.

The reason more and more new games keep coming out where the 9070 XT wins is because it's simply the superior microchip design. 5070 Ti does have have some smaller advantages like a bit more shaders and TMUs. But anyone that understands chips will know that that the chip with more transistors and better density on a superior node will always come out on top on average. That's just how microchips work

Your shill post said "if you plan on keeping it for a few years." Now you're admitting nvidia's 70 card is only "mostly sufficient for this generation." 12gb of vram is a joke for any GPU in that price range.

You can't make cross-vendor comparisons like that.
AMD and NVIDIA don't disclose how they report transistor count etc.
One could be reporting active transistors only, and the other could be including dead ones.
This difference is noted by an Intel employee who used to work for NVIDIA.

Look at the transistor density difference between these three GPUs that are using the same TSMC 5nm process for the GPU core
>Intel Battlemage B580: 72.1M / mm2
>NVIDIA Ada Lovelace 4090: 125.3M / mm2
>AMD RDNA3 7900 XTX (5nm GCD): 150.2M / mm2

AMD just has a habit of overstating their GPU's transistor density.
No one ever said the 7900 XTX has the better GPU core than the RTX 4090 because it has a higher reported transistor density.

I literally posted the proof, they overstated the transistor density for the 7900 XTX's 5nm GCD, and they've done it again for the 9070 XT.

PSU is rated A-. SSD no idea but looking around a lot of people say it's great NVMe especially for the price because it's cheap.

I'm trying to mount my mothboard (MSI x870e Carbon Wifi) into my case (Antec Flux Pro) but I can't get it lined up up the standoffs. The IO block has this lip on the edge that seems to be causing the misalignment, is it supposed to be pushed through the IO part of the case?
