Ahoy mateys, I bought an open box PC and CrystalDiskInfo shows that it was powered on for 482 hrs, with 183 power ons and 8 unsafe shutdowns. Benchmarks and stress test are all fine, but I'll probably just fucking exchange it anyway. The question that plagues me is: What the fuck was the previous person doing with this damn PC? The return window for them is like a month at most. What are your theories, anon?

480hrs are 20 days. 183 power ons in 20 days??? Holy fuck. But do you really want to return that shit? Like why do you even buy a PC when RAM prices are so fucking high? Can you please buy a Thinkpad/Framework/Macbook? And please, install Linux.
>>
>>107927050
an average of 2.6 hours per power up.
8 unsafe shutdowns.

iunno. gayming? maybe its a turbo casual wagie
if it were a professional user the average "on" time would have been longer
>>
>>107927064
My PC is million years old and if it croaks in this market I'm fucked, so I just went and pulled the trigger at best buy since building is not even worth it anymore.
>>107927074
I dont know what kind of nuclear retard you need to be to be crashing and powering off this kind of machine this often, thats why I'm wondering what kind of activity will justify these stats
>>
>>107927117
"powered on for 482 hrs" doesnt necessarily mean that for 482 hrs it ran continuously, interspersed with occasional power down/up cycles
unless thats what you meant

you could also check how long that machine has been available on the market
in the case of a casual gaymer, each power up means 1 day of use
maybe two. maybe thats what it is:
some youngen non casual gaymer played vidya before going to school, then after coming back

when i was a kid i did that. woke up at 5 am to play for a couple hours before school

yeah, that could make sense. youngen fyucks up his sleep hygiene
parents notice that
>no more vidya for you, young man
>*returns machine*

Perhaps you're right, I'm thinking someone was trying to host a local waifu
>>
>>107927681
what makes you think so?

>>107927690
Read/write was about 3000-4000 gb, unless they are speedrunning aaa titles, they were probably not gaming. The rig came with 5080, ai would make sense in the context of 483 on hours, but not the power ons. I don't even know why I'm hyper focused on this, the meds are not kicking in I guess

zo
ive done some math, and heres the figures i got:
4000 gigs for 480h is:
8.3 GB/h
138 MB/m
2.3 MB/s

i snooped around the web and i found a benchmark where a dude is looking at the behaviour of his nvme when using starfield, which apparently is very intensive in storage io because it constantly streams data from there
and it seems the average stabilizes somewhere around 20MB/s
its at the higher end of things, but it seems that 2.3 MB/s is well within the range of the usage that could be caused by vidya

>compulsion to satisfy intellectual curiosity
i feel the same sometimes, like now, kek. but i dont take meds
i think its just normal with smart people and theres nothing to worry about on that front
we just like solving puzzles

>>107928149
>its at the higher end of things
i meant the 20 MB/s is, not the 2.3 MB/s

Ask OP where he got those numbers from.
Don't worry, we won't laugh.

Did you know that unsafe shutdowns happen frequently on Windows, during updates and such? Unsafe shutdown simply means drive wasn't unmounted. It's just another statistic.
You are a technical imbecile.
