Is there any reason to get an intel over an amd cpu?

Cost or you have a specific usecase (need a low idle power server)
>>
>>107949969
If you're not a gamer, intel is still competitive and in some use cases, is superior to AMD consumer CPUs
>>
>>107949969
Intel is pretty competitive for non-gaming applications, I guess.
I guess there's a budget argument with DDR4.

Looking to buy a new 4tb SSD. This is the cheapest one I can find. Is the WD BLACKED SN850X worth 500 or should I go for something else? Im on a budget but willing to spend extra money on a better 4tb SSD if its available. Mainly play video games, light video editing, and organize my extensive hentai collection

Their own webstore has it at like $1100.

Just FYI these are getting bought up by AI datacenters as "hot" storage to feed training data into RAM/HMB.

This is such a shit time to build a pc. When CES26 ended I immediately panic placed an order for a 5080 at 1127 euros, and seeing as how they are all 1500ish now I kinda don't regret it.

Why the hell are you recommending water coolers? Pumps will die in less than 7 years and after the 3 year mark it will start to gunk and reduce the performance of the AIO cooler because the anti corrosive inhibitors are degraded.

Kek, I remeber setting that up as my wallpaper on a Openbox machine with no taskbars or icons. The cursor gave it away, plus the fact that computers weren't showing it for several years, but not that far back enough that people didn't recognize the prompt anymore. Many keks were had.

7 years is like the warranty. They last as long as a fish tank does which is between 10-20 years. In that timespan your components/fish are dead we're on AM7 or some new Intel socket that makes yours obsolete.

I undervolted my 4070Ti finally, I ended up losing zero performance from stock (since I also gave my memory a +1000Mhz boost).

Same, I panic bought a 4TB T500 in early december for just 280 yurocoins just so I'd have a spare around. That's slightly more than I payed for my 4TB 990 Pro a while ago so they had already gone back up. Roughly the same drive going for almost double that just a month later is pretty horrifying.

This is not only for electronics. There are third party companies that work like insurance exchanges selling extended warranties for anything - can be a car, your house, new or even used PCs and PC parts, you name it. They reap huge profits from this. Some of them are legit and some are shifty scams. It's pure capitalism. Caveat Emptor!
>>
>>107950447
It's cheaper for NOW since their supply chain takes longer to feel the impact.

The prebuilts being sold in stores today were built 2-3 months ago.

there are extended warranties if you're a sucker i guess. those first 3 AIOs in the op i looked up have 5-6 year warranties like a lot of products from decent brands. usually it's more like 2-3 in my experience.
anyway the way it works in the common case is say you order a product from amazon and discover it is defective within 30 days. you ship it back and they just send you a replacement or refund no questions asked
*after* 30 days amazon will tell you to kick rocks and then you have to deal with the manufacturer yourself. so you grumble and probably have to pay return shipping and it's a hassle but you have years of warranty on pretty much everything. they always advertise the warranty period right on the product page as a selling point

actually that reminds me of an old simpsons joke where homer is getting a crayon shoved into his brain to make him dumb again for various plot reasons and when he says "extended warranty, how can I lose?" is when he's achieved appropriate levels of retard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CbbEH_4NTM

Newer pastes don't have a break in period they're good to go. But if its PCM or older then a couple of heat cycles should do over a few days.

ADATA has some shit drives but that one's fine. Not WD quality but it's ok.

Make sure te heatsink doesn't fuck with your setup.

>>107950498
>Make sure the heatsink doesn't fuck with your setup.
100% this, they use a thermal bonding agent that is NOT removable.

Even with high heat, you'll either cook the chips, or rip them off the PCB 9 times out of 10.

So yeah, if you're buying that, make sure you can fit the heatsink in whatever motherboard you're using.

How reliable are these fluid PC coolers? I don't have this exact model, but it's very similar. I've had mine for like 2.5-3 years and I'm very worried that it will one day break.

So from what I have been researching, it seems I can try the 27" 1440p monitor with something like MPC-HC + MadVR for upscaling to make it look just as good or even better than it would be if I were to use the 24" 1080p monitor natively, but if I want the absolute best results I'd tinker with MadVR using the 1080p monitor instead, is that right?
Unless I'm retarded and guessing it wrong, I guess it would be smarter to make a compromise and pick the 1440p option?
OLED is out of option for a good while though

xg32ucwmg or wait for tandem variant, better coating and not raised blacks in lit rooms and maybe better subpixel structure

>>107950739
only usable if you have 5000 series gpu, you have to run very short cables
might fix some dsc related things even though some of them have already been kind of maybe already fixed in lets say 5000 series WITH dsc because they moved to using a single display head over dsc compared to 2 before or whatever the fuck it was prior to 5000 series

text is fine, but I'm not sure if it's the coating or a combination of the subpixels that can cause eye strain
I tested both 140ppi 4k qdoled glossy and matte and Samsung matte is way less eyestrain, don't even think I had any in comparison, could still see the fringing too though

msi has a forced 24 hour pixel refresh too, if it works as intended it may not cause issues now but I still don't like it, plus undefeatable pixel shift, which is semi annoying, there is 0 reason to buy msi over asus in my region considering they are the same or even less

WOLED - there's a white pixel instead of just rgb
QDOLED - they put a quantum dot layer ontop and uses its own pixel layout which means no white pixel
both have their pros & cons. if you live next to a electronics store just go in person and see the difference yourself.

>These scatters and bounces also illumate objects.

In games, it doesn't make much difference because the materials and geometry isn't really complex enough to showcase the differences in this behaviour of lighting, so it largely just exists as a thing people with 5080/5090s can turn on and enjoy having a lower FPS and sometimes slightly nicer lighting.

Holy fuck, what's the point of computing this? Objects simply being coloured with the intended "lighting" is so much more efficient. This is just lazy. I hope nobody is buying a GPU just to squander it on games where the devs didn't do their jobs.

Does CPU undervolt/PBO offset stability represent itself differently in symptoms than with GPU undervolts? Using the same CPU undervolt I used just fine with a prior GPU, but my current GPU is giving me heavy stutters even with stock GPU settings. It's nauseatingly bad. It's been inconsistent...but noticeable enough that I have to restart to fix it sometimes. Likely my new GPU is just a lemon?
>>
>>107953187
Speculation currently is mostly around Asus's aggressive PBO, the BIOS update released today caps PBO voltage to 1.4V on a hardware level as a safety precaution.

Personally, I have my 9800X3D manually tuned and haven't witnessed it ever going above 1.29V in any scenario.

One of the speculations i've seen is that it's about how the motherboard/CPU is waking from deep sleep states, essentially going from 0V or near 0V to 1.2V+ in a few milliseconds, and the VRMs overshooting and delivering a burst of 1.4-1.6V+.
>>
>>107953211
nah
>>
>>107953187
Seems to be some sort of issue with the processors themselves, given it's occurring across multiple manufacturers and product lines.

It's hard to really say it's much to do with overclocking or performance optimisation, because it's occurring on more basic budget-oriented boards that don't do that.
>>
>>107953256
>Seems to be some sort of issue with the processors themselves, given it's occurring across multiple manufacturers and product lines.
Lol and these companies aren't blaming AMD becuase AMD just has SUCH a stranglehold on the industry that Asus couldn't POSSIBLY go against AMD...right?

Asus and ASrock are willing to accept blame because they just care so much about maintaining AMDs image.

Come on chud, at least try to be more believable with your lies.
>>
>>107953215
Never heard of CPU instability causing stutter. If your CPU is unstable the system usually freezes or reboots.
>>
>>107953264
Nah, I imagine they're just not doing it yet because getting it wrong is far more damaging than just saying "Uh, we're looking into it".

It's the same shit that happened with Intel a few generations back. People started by blaming motherboard manufacturers, then gradually as it became evident it wasn't just one, or even two manufacturers but instead an issue with the chip itself, Intel finally owned up to it.
>>
>>107953274
Yeah but in this case the investigations are coming back and showing it's almost always the motherboard vendors fucking around with the voltage settings and ignoring AMDs tested limits.

And again, considering the Asus BIOS update today specifically limited core voltage during boost to 1.4V, it's pretty obvious Asus already suspects where the issue lays, even if they haven't finished their investigation.
>>
>>107953265
>If your CPU is unstable the system usually freezes or reboots.
That's what I'd think. I have a golden CPU that can manage -30 on all cores and has for a few years without issue, but this new GPU is acting up so fucking much...it's inconsistent as hell. Stutters, frame chugging, the whole deal.
>>
>>107953264
asus dont make motherboards. they make amd and intel boards. what happens if they bite the hand that feeds? hmmmm....
>>
>>107953284
Yeah, it's probably the AMD's chip tolerances for voltage are lower than they claim.
>>
>>107953318
More like the 3D-Vcache is especially sensitive to voltage and Asus and other motherboard manufacturers are used to years and years where they've been able to play PRETTY fast and loose with their voltage tweaks to squeeze out "free" extra performance.

I can't decide between a few pc cases. I'm doing a rebuild with a new 5070ti, 9950x and mobo. coming from a nzxt h7 flow which is some broken front ports so I'm looking to replace

I'm considering the Liam Li Lancool 207/216 or the Phanteks XT Pro Ultra. I like the compactness of the 207 but I hear cable management can be annoying. the 216 and phanteks look nice but also quite big. I want to make sure I have ample room for everything but not have a huge heavy case. maybe the 207 is okay enough?
>>
>>107953329
for that matter, 9700x's are dropping like flies too. 9800x3d's are just overrepresented since that single SKU outsells all non-3d parts combined in the diy market
>>
>>107953329
Again, the fact it's so rare means it's likely just poorly binned chips hitting specific scenarios with aggressive stock voltage boosts making a perfect storm where some chips get fucked.

If it were an ACTUAL hardware issue it wouldn't be so isolated to specific motherboards or even BIOS revisions.

Im not saying Zen5 doesn't have more stringent voltage requirements than Zen4, but AMD themselves have flat out said, none of the motherboard OEMs follow their voltage guidelines to the letter, and that's on them.

It's possible the higher fps load from the GPU is putting more stress on your CPU and the instabilities are now showing. Ryzen will clock stretch when its unstable but it happens so fast it probably wont even show up in hwinfo64 but you can definitely feel it as stutters.

He's an advisor because it gives him and his company direct access to intel engineers and likely early hardware samples for testing/evaluation, as well as technical details of upcoming hardware, potentially years before they're made available to the wider general tech industry.

This is probably the final generation of affordable consumer PC hardware.

After this we'll be priced out of the market and we'll be forced to rent our hardware from the cloud like cucks.

It's been a good run boys, I hope you can keep your hardware going for as long as possible. If we're lucky we can pick up workstation/sever scraps in the 2030s for cheap. Otherwise consumer "computers" will all become essentially thin clients designed to connect to cloud services for all of the actual processing.

I doubt by 2035 we'll even have a consumer PC gaming market anymore, at least nothing like what it currently is.

china likes to export and make money. doesn't make sense to not export a lot for euros and dollars. they want market share they are in for the long game after all. you don't really get that with a worse product at a slightly cheaper price. amd can sing a song about that.
>>
>>107953570
since half of the factory is owned by china itself it would also probably used to stab japan, taiwan and south korea as a bonus by lowering the ram prices.
>>
>>107953570
It takes time for them to ramp up and scale production, by the time they're producing it in quantities needed to meaningfully impact global supply, prices will be hiked even higher due to the big 3 selling to AI companies. So the prices at the peak WILL come down, but they'll only come down slowly, and we likely won't even see prices like we see today until mid to late 2028, or early 2029, with the $250 figure i mentioned likely not being until mid to late 2029.

Most AI companies have realised raw compute hardware scaling isn't the answer.

But they're also realizing they need more/better training data which requires a ton of HMB/RAM/NAND to store and process that data. Basically most AI researchers don't think throwing more GPUs and more data at the problem is going to lead to the emergence of AGI. It's likely going to require a deterministic "brain" that has hard coded knowledge and a reality it "knows" to use as a litmus to check against. Then the LLM portion as the "chatty" interface portion of the AI. Currently being called "Neuro-symbolic AI"

And really this will likely also require deeper hardware integration of GPU and CPU (hence the recent Intel/Nvidia investment/partnership) architectures in the long run.

So yeah, prices aren't going to come down unless the bubble pops. If you think any of this shit will come down in price to where it was even 3 months ago, I have a bridge i'd love to sell you.

Funny how out of touch some tech journalism is. Basically saying 8gb GPUs are ewaste and games will have to include 'garbage mode' for them to be usable.

>>107954083
Where does this 1 year deadline comes from? Isn't this shitshow expected to endure until at least 2028?

Saving $250 by waitfagging a single year is definitely worth it by the single fact your backlog exists, so does retrogaming, so does the whole 4x/twin stick shooter/party game/vn genres/mmo/esport. You wouldn't be waiting but gaming good stuff you wanted to anyway.

Now, telling people they should stick to these genres and past games for the next three years... That's a tall order and you'll definitely be better buying NOW™ because your newly acquired GPU will keep gaining value over the next two years at least, which means you could still sell it for a profit if you got bored of it meanwhile.
>>
>>107954581
UE5 garbage runs without major VRAM related issues with 8GB of VRAM. There are some exceptions but those games run like shit no matter the hardware, shit like Boringlands 4.
Late UE4 games had more issues.
>>
>>107954602
oh, i'm not a "i have a 4070" person, i'm a "i have a seven year old 1060 and it's intermittently screaming for help" person

a year is just an arbitrary number to compare costs against, easier to consider "do i really want to wait a year to save maybe $550 total on components and not be able to use any of the rest in the meantime, potentially having my current system die while i wait" that way
>>
>>107954606
UE5 downgrades your visuals into the PS3/PS4 era if you don't have enough vram. It's still a bad compromise to live with if you've just dropped 2 grand on a new pc
>>
>>107954653
I have noticed that textures look strangely bad, even worse than PS4 games on lower settings in some modern games. It's like they don't downscale texture resolution (or don't have different texture sets any more) properly.
>>
>>107954627
Well if the one year deadline is out of thin air then this discussion is a pure exercise in abstract thinking.

The reality is should waitfags keep rolling because price will get back within a year and a half so it's not even waiting as much as finishing a game or three beforehand? Or should anyone with a brain upgrade now because this horror will indeed endure until at least 2028 as previously stated several time before?

I realize the only difference in-between these two scenarios is AI crashing or not so it's outside of any rational discussion. But this 1 year mark popping out of nowhere made me believe we had new informations.
>>
>>107954653
Not really, you get much worse performance if you run out of VRAM in UE5.
The quality of textures doesn't get much worse because it's already quite low in nearly every UE5 game anyway.
Stalker 2, Borderlands 4 struggle the most with low VRAM.
Late UE4 games like Hogwarts and The Callisto Protocol had the behavior you are talking about present more often, on top of stutters when running out of VRAM.

Would it make sense to upgrade from a B450 to B550 motherboard to get PCIe 4.0 support?
I've got an R7 5700x and recently upgraded my GPU to a 9060XT 16GB.
Is the older PCIe generation bottlenecking GPU performance in any meaningful way?
I know the 9060XT at least has the full 16 lanes, and from what I understand PCIe bottlenecks are most severe in memory-limited scenarios so that shouldn't happen with a 16GB card.
