Is the MSI MAG A1250GL 1250w a better replacement to EVGA SuperNOVA 1000w G2?

>>107614759
I guess it doesn't really matter. Men and biological woman won't ever see it.

>>107614996
No get a Seasonic.

>>107615044
what about Super Flower Leadex VII XP PRO 1200W

my 10700k still competes with the newest CPUs. crazy

>>107615050
I've heard they are pretty good. I still like the Seasonic Vertex for warranty and quality.

>>107615066
I resurrected an 8700K with 32gb DDR4 and a GTX 1080 and ran some benchmarks. Then built a system with an AMD 5600X using the same ram and GPU. Both 6/14 core/threads, both base clocked @ 3.7ghz, AMD boosted to 4.6ghz, Intel to 4.7ghz.

The AMD spanked the hell out of the older Intel even though the specs were almost identical. And it ran a ton cooler, too.

So... cool you're still rocking an older CPU and it works, but just be aware- time munches on for everything.

>>107614755
I want to emulate PS3 games though, I need a better CPU.
>>107614758
No, they don't. I'm about to buy a Ryzen 9 9950x3d. Finally gonna replace that 11400f I had since 2022.

>>107615116
*6/12 cores/threads

>>107615116
time only affects you if you buy new things. Theres thousands of games released between 2010-2020 that run very well on my 10700k

>>107614759
it runs fine, and benches highest on a 5090 anon. Why are you being a jeet?

>>107615140
Like I said, that's awesome. I hope it lasts you for many more years. I might dust off my 8700K system and through together a system. The 1080 still has some legs on older stuff. And, I have some ram and ...well, everything but a case and PSU.

>>107615170
I'm bringing back my 4790k as we speak. Don't know if it really can do much but I'm hanging some old parts on it.

>>107614755
My watercooled 5080 is gonna get crazy FPS in Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Christmas Doom wads.

>The AMD spanked the hell out of the older Intel even though the specs were almost identical
5600X has 3x the cache so that should be obvious
8700K gets closer with a RAM overclock
>>107615162
he was born that way

>>107615224
I ~think~ it was 3200 ram that the 5600x happily ran. The 8700K never ran stable over, I think, 2800? Likely the ASRock motherboard, since an 8700K SHOULD run 3200 fine.

Do I need to have a PSU tester if it didn't come with my PSU?
Hate to zap my motherboard and shit if it's a good idea to test before plugging in

>>107615162
whats the point if it crashes

>>107615162
>it runs fine
Not On Nvidia.

>>107615162
wuwa is broken on blackwell u dont play tthe game u just regurgitate retarded shit

>>107615294
a) No PSU comes with one.
b) Yes, it's a good idea, but I don't know anyone who does it.
c) I had 2 bad PSUs back to back on a 2023 build. Both bad out of the box. First one did nothing. Second popped a cap as soon as I turned on the power switch on the PSU.

>>107615291
>The 8700K never ran stable over, I think, 2800? Likely the ASRock motherboard, since an 8700K SHOULD run 3200 fine
yeah probably
i think there was also some fuckery with non-Z boards on those old CPUs as well
obviously the 5600X is a better product but the 8700K can get surprisingly close for being almost 10 years old
if you paid upfront for a really good motherboard and RAM that would have been a better investment than going from zen 1 to zen 2 to zen 3 on AM4 (like many people did because reddit told them platform longevity is the most important factor when deciding on a new CPU)

>>107615208
It shouldn't matter TOO much but I probably will grab a 120mm noctua to throw on there.

>>107615327
Eh, it was all in an iBuyProblems PC I bought during the crypto GPU shortage. Cheaper to buy a PC with a GTX 1080 than buy the card and build around it. I got 5 good years out of it. It all still works and now that I think about it, I probably have the original PSU, too. The mobo was a Z370 Pro4. A very basic motherboard, but it did all I needed.

Since my current DDR5 sticks are bare sticks without and due to the current prices I won't upgrade them any time soon. I think I'll do what Linus did in a video. And put FB-Dimm DDR2 heatspreaders on them since I have couple broken FB-Dimm DDR2 sticks I could salvage those from.

>>107614755
I did that for years but even "old" games struggle on my 1060 now

>>107615548
*without a heatspreader

I think my current 3090 will be the last top end card I will ever own. Reason being that both it and my previous 980ti were loud and hot.

I think once the RTX 7070 (or AMD equilevant) is released and if it has 24gb vram or more I will upgrade to that.

I find it strange that AAA is all about graphics and effects which don't make good games by themselves, yet the entire focus is on that.
I can only assume that a lot of people buy games for the graphics and effects and not gameplay. I really wonder how different I experience games than the typical gamer.
