I keep fucking with my gpu settings. Don't know if I want to put a power limit lower, or have it at 10%. Right now It's at 10% with a -100 undervolt
what do you guys use?

>>110126081
My 9070 barely performs any better with +10% PL. No problems with a -60mV undervolt though.

>>110126081
Factory settings. Overclocking does almost nothing now days.

>An ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 owner in the Netherlands claims their laptop returned from warranty repair with only 16GB of its original 32GB memory. The repair involved replacing the motherboard, but the owner says the removable RAM module was never returned. Several weeks of communication with ASUS support have reportedly failed to resolve the issue.
OEM's are stealing RAM from customers now.

>>110126125
but I am noticing difference in 3dmark
>>110126114
my score went up quite a bit with the +10%. the other settings are kind of a crapshoot tho

>>110126081
the best way to bench it is to find a game where you can stand still and nothing changes
tab out, change the power numbers, tab back in, note down the performance and power consumption
decide where you want to settle

Posting here since there's currently not hifi general. Just bought a pair of HD600 and looking for options to get it running and plug an XLR mic as well. Should I get a separate brick for input and output (DAC + preamp) or would a combined audio interface be an option? What do market options look like if the latter is viable?

>>110126213
Benchmarks will improve obviously but actual application is like 5 fps max. Not worth potential instability or heat.

>>110126213
On my pulse, 220W to 242W gives about +7 FPS in a static Heaven scene. And 264W gives +5 on top of that.
But in actual games where GPU limited, going to 242W only gives maybe 2 or 3 more frames at best. Going any higher actually reduces FPS even though it's still guzzling down that extra power...
I'm still using the stock bios though. I'm only able to go over the default +10% PL limit because LACT allows it for some reason.

>>110126515
Seasonic is an actual manufacturer (OEM), not a rebrander, so it controls its own designs, components, and build quality. Other brands have sold Seasonic-built units for years.

What that gets you:
- **Good components and conservative ratings**: a "500W" unit really delivers 500W.
- **Tight voltage regulation and low ripple**, with protections that actually work.
- **Consistency**: retail units perform like the review samples.
- **Long warranties** (10-12 years on top lines), which they can afford because failure rates are low.

So it's both engineering and QA, but the QA consistency is the bigger differentiator.

Caveat: competitors like be quiet!, Corsair (some Seasonic-built), and FSP are close now, and Seasonic's budget lines aren't special. Check the specific model's review.

can any of you gentlemen direct me to a gpu database that includes a true/false value in all entries that will tell me whether or not any given card features LGBT lighting? some manufacturers design their light bars to be as discreet as possible until lit so it's very difficult to know for sure that none at all is present unless you can find video of the card in a case and running, which isn't always easy with more obscure brands or models people aren't so eager to show off

It's not worth running your max OC settings as your daily profile.
Chances are you won't notice the difference after all those performance overlays are disabled.
It's also likely your max OC setting might have some instability that cause frametime stutters and other bullshit that won't outright crash your display driver or PC.

>>110126515
Seasonic has been around since the 1970s, making PSUs for IBM PCs that cost five-figures.
Selling consumer PSUs isn't their main business at this point, and they built up a strong reputation where it's not worth selling PSUs with unreliable engineering or component selection.
Seasonic do sell some lower-tier PSUs, but they're obviously not meant to power 200W+ gaming video cards.
The competition for consumer PSUs is fierce though, you don't need to resort to a Seasonic if you're looking for a reliable PSU.

>>110126515
>>110126813
Seasonic is pretty mid. I would buy a super flower PSU. They are the ones that made all the goated EVGA PSUs of the past. No coil whine while seasonic has constant reviews of coil whine in theirs

Utterly delusional
Seasonic is basically non-existent in outside of DIY
Their only moat is consumer PSUs.
They may try so sell outside of consumer, but they have so little penetration you basically never seem them.
Brands like Delta/Eltek, FSP, AcBel, LITEON, etc have much more penetration.

Making PSUs 40 years ago means jack shit as this is all just commodity parts and power supplies are generally well understood.

The DIY space is really place that doesn't treat PSUs like interchangeable commodities

I'm ready to pay 3k for 2x64gb because fuck smaller sticks even if they're cheaper, but I'm starting to think the price will have surpassed 3k when I have the money in hand within couple of months.
It might actually be a better idea to throw that into the market and trying to double it, rather than buying the fucking RAM.

Hi there /pcbg/.
I have a rough idea of what my first build will look like, but I wanted to ask here for a second opinion from anons who know far more than I do about this kind of thing. I'd really appreciate it.
>https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/sf7bR4
I'm in the UK and I'm eager to keep the price tag where it is at the moment (2-2.5K), though I'm willing to give myself some leeway without pushing too high. It'll be for general use, some gaming (nothing too heavy), streaming anime, music, drawing and light video editing. It's a middle of the road build, neither too little nor too much. A good all-rounder 1440p. The monitor costs £259 and after researching there isn't anything I'm particularly weary about, it fits my needs and looks great. I've never known anything other than fan cooling, so I've elected to stick with what I know instead of going with liquid. The motherboard has ALC1220 and the 7900X feels sufficient for the CPU. As for the case, I chose the Lancool 216, but my two main concerns with this build are longevity and airflow so I'm open to other cases. I want to keep this build for years to come and not have to concern myself with upgrading parts until I have to. I'm sure this PC will never draw more power than the PSU can supply. It all looks good to me but I wanted to be sure.
Also pic related, I went with an all-white design so I'm gonna call it Aria Il Computer. Thank you anons, I've learned more than I ever thought I'd know because of you.

Swap the memory kit out.
Crucial DDR5 is mediocre, and it’s safer to pick a kit with 6000MT/s EXPO speed profile over the 6400MT/s for a different reason if you’re a new builder.

This Klevv Bolt V kit is guaranteed to have better memory chips, avoid the Klevv Fit model brand though.

This one should also work if you want a white kit with RGB lights.

Klevv Bolt is better than Fit. You must avoid the Fit.

i7-8700 or 9700?

I don't know whether hyperthreading or the 2 extra cores is more preferable. Looks like it depends on the use case and application/task. Hoping to use the system as a poorfag gaming setup.

Also, when buying used/prebuilt PCs, should you replace the PSU (assuming it's a few years old), or leave it as is?

>>110127259
Perle was profitable for a short time after it launched back in April
The coin has tanked in value and energy costs are up significantly so you'll never pay back the cost of the GPU, nevermind making a profit

>>110127615
9700 is better since it ships with higher clocks and you can't oc non-K CPUs to close the gap

>>110127615
real cores > hyperthreading

>>110127605
all the reviews online said it's a great chair, for the features and price point I'm perfectly fine taking a risk and getting a meme brand chair.

>>110127615
What is the price difference?
>should you replace the PSU
Look up the brand/model and see if it's quality. If it's some random chinese garbage I would always replace. If it's a reputable high quality PSU you can keep using it until it literally blows

>>110127632
also my only ever experience with a herman miller chair was in high school when my drug dealer friend spent $1000 on some stupid ugly ass green mesh herman miller chair and it was the most uncomfortable piece of shit ever.

It's why you gotta sit in them. The store I went to had hundreds of steelcase, herman millers etc to sit in. Most of them were all in some random office meeting room never used and then liquidated when WFH took over in covid

>>110127628
What if it were a K variant?

>>110127690
I'd still recommend the 9700 since it's less cucked by mitigations and has higher effective IPC, especially if it's a newer R0 stepping chip

idk what to do about a new gpu, guess i have to just suck it up and eat 1k (at least) for a 5070ti right? i have a 270k plus and 32gb ddr5 (also wanting to upgrade to 64gb right now), i don’t know what the best gpu is but i have a 270 super and it’s weak. i do content creation like filmmaking and video editing heavy shit. but i also really wanna play ace combat 8 well along with starcraft in 2030 so i wanted a good card to last into the future.

honestly i’m just agonizing over it because i hate spending so much money like is it worth it? also i could trade my 2070 super into newegg to get $100 but i could sell it too. i also have some old motherboards and ddr3 ram i could sell to a small child or pigeon.

i’ve also debated selling my pro art z890 motherboard for the similar one with and, and a different processor. so i could do that too but is amd worth it? i just put together my 270k machine

the last time it was really viable was in 2021 with eth before it went proof of stake
the current preferred coin for mining, pearl, is completely different from older proof of work coins in that it uses a matrix/fp8 algorithm instead of sha256 so it scales with gpu watts instead of memory bandwidth which makes it a lot less energy efficient

Intel's SGX for native bluray playback had major security vulnerabilities. It's why they got rid of it. You can just rip the bluray and play it in VLC like any other movie. Side note, The Intel Arc A380 (specifically the ELF version from Sparkle) can handle full fat 10-bit HDR AV1 encoded 4K playback and it's a sub 75 watt card for like $170

By the time starcraft is out if it ever comes out you'll want a new card anyway that shit's basically still a whole college degree away from coming out, unless of course you feel like Jensen and expect your gpu to last 8 years minimum. If you want that I'd say just get the 5080 and I have a 5070TI, it's just not worth the ridiculous £1200 they charge for it now especially when you can still find the 5080 for around £1400. 5070TI made sense when it was around £700 which is what I got mine for. 5080 will definitely overtake 5070TI in sales because they are just overcharging for it so much. The actual GPU does not matter at all, only the VRAM amount matters, same for the crazy prices for the 5060TI 16GB. If anything Nvidia screwed themselves over harder because if they just put 24GB on the 5080 at launch like they should have they could easily be charging £3000+ for it now

I was looking up some gainwards earlier and it took me a while to find a video, when it comes to ones like PNY and KFA2 where the relative poverty of their customers is discernable aesthetically and from the mash-keyboard names it seemed no one was willing to show them off, although maybe I'm overestimating the dignity of third worlders and I simply need to look harder

speaking of gainward, they have a 4060 "ghost" (seemingly the low end brand) and a 4060 "python" (apparently mid-range), I cannot discover any difference between the two, the ghost definitely has it whereas the python looks very promising for none at all although I must make absolutely sure the lettering on the side doesn't light up before I can consider a purchase, this is the extent of the confusion I am faced with and why I think LGBT: Y/N is necessary among all spec listings

Should I buy pre-built?
There's some sales on now.

The reason I dont just get parts is cause my current setup is outdated. See pic.

I want a better GPU, but I also need ram for said gpu as i dont gave enough, my mobo doesnt support gddr5 which the new gpu needs, also my psu doesnt have a high enough output for it all.

The only thing left is my cpu and case. I even asked chatgpt if its better to buy pre built or to just upgrade and it said given my setup. Im better off getting a new one. I even got laughed at on /vg/ when I said I was going to buy a gpu and they told me my entire setup needed an overhaul if I did get one.

What do you guys think?
Is buying prebuilt a big taboo here?
I dont play AAA stuff that often but the stuff I do play does show my computers age and I get problems now and again.

>>110131022
*my mobo doesnt support gddr5 for ram

Move aside AMD and Nvidia plebs. The REAL dark horse Chad has arrived. It even comes with a 360mm AiO cooler (worth $90!) for free.

Shitting on the 9070xt this much tells me that you're not just a cuck for Nvidia who doesn't even care about consumers anymore, but you're likely a Windows cuck. The kind of person who doesn't even imagine a scenario without Microsoft in his life.

Its so you can save your work and safely shut down the instrument if power goes out. Wtf does anyone here need a UPS for?

Display Screen compression. Check your monitor settings if you can turn it off if your monitor even runs it. When you have an old one it may not be used anyway and something else may be the root cause

>>110130880
display stream compression is used to hit higher hz at a given resolution on monitors/gpus stuck on older display standards
it causes monitor jitter and slight artifacting iirc
you can turn it off in the monitor OSD (if supported) or by reducing your monitor's hz

>>110131295
>>110131299
Don't see any settings like that on my monitor. I'm pretty sure the window shifting is happening because it's connected via display port so windows handles turning off the monitor as disconnecting it

>>110131692
I don't remember what model it is and it shouldn't matter since there's no option to turn DSC on or off in the monitor settings. I don't really care if it keeps disconnecting when turned off as long as the windows that were on it don't get moved to the other monitor

get a cyberpower or apc. they all have batteries that easily available when the time comes to replace them.

the goal of a ups is for you to have a chance to save your work and have a normal shutdown. not having 3 hours of battery to keep plaing.

because bad powergrids, typhoons or earthquakes can fuck things up. ups gives you a chance to save your work and shut down any computer or server you have decently.

I am from the first world with great infrastrcuture, and over 10-15 years I have lost equipment equal the value to an UPS. Include time and effort it will be a lot more. I don't know where you are getting your prices, but they do not cost as much 30 k.Maybe for for whole house UPS or something.

Some places are just most exposed to bad weather. Cities has a faraday cage effect so if you live outside cities you are generally more exposed. There are undoubtedly some tech larpers, but they just drive demand so let them do it.
