Mattias Edeslatt reacted to seon123 in [EOL] PSU Tier List rev. 14.8
Multi rail means the PSU has protections to safely shut down if there is a very high load on a single rail. E.g. if you have a 850W single rail PSU, you could draw 850W through a single SATA connector without the PSU shutting down. A multi rail PSU would shut down.
Single rail just means the PSU manufacturer cheaped out and did not include that protection.
It's a downgraded Seasonic Prime with an OLED display that will fail way before the rest of the PSU.
No one can come with meaningful recommendations without knowing what you're powering or where you're buying from. All of which you should specify in your own thread instead of just dumping it here.

Mattias Edeslatt reacted to Middcore in Antec VP-500PC - Good for upgrades today?
There are "brand names" I guarantee OP has never heard of that make great PSU's but he's defending the honor of a cheap time bomb because it has the logo of Antec (a brand that hasn't been relevant for anything in like a decade or more) on the side.
I don't know why you would ask this community for advice, get a universal consensus in the responses, and then keep going "are you sure?"

Mattias Edeslatt reacted to IkeaGnome in Is the Corsair HX1200 enough wattage for my build?
This is why I hate those wattage calculators. Your PSU isn't powering the monitors.
Is the HX1200 the same price or cheaper than the 1000 or a 950? You should be able to use a 950W just fine.

Mattias Edeslatt got a reaction from WhitetailAni in CyberPowerPC denied gpu replacement
With that kind of dammage someone must literally must have been driving over the package. So when they received it the must have gotten a really smashed package and they should have made a claim about that to the shipping company.

You're welcome to go rehire the people who worked for caselabs and restart the company if you have enough money.

Mattias Edeslatt reacted to Spotty in Anyone else feel wrong about buying >= 1000W PSU that is Gold rated?
80+ is just a measure of efficiency. There is some benefit of having a more efficient PSU in high wattages because higher efficiency will result in less energy being wasted as heat, but as long as the PSU can properly dissipate that heat (proper heatsinks, fans, components rated for high temperatures) then it's not an issue.
There's probably not that much difference between an 80+ Gold and 80+ Platinum PSU anyway.
For example the new RM1000x you mentioned compared to the HX1000 Platinum there's barely any difference as far as the 80+ ratings which measure at 10%, 20%, 50%, and 100%. There's only 1% difference between them at 50% and 100% load. At 1000W load that's 10W difference, considering you're already pulling 1100W+ with 120-130W being wasted due to efficiency losses an extra 10W loss isn't particularly an issue.
80+ Titanium PSUs will have more of an improvement over the 80+ Gold units, and they're also required to hit efficiency targets at 10% load. They will generally be quite a bit more expensive though and unless you're running your system at full load constantly the higher upfront cost likely won't be paid off by the energy savings over the life of the PSU.
I guess the main reason would be "If I'm already spending $150+ on a power supply, why not spend an extra $20 to get the more efficient premium one?".
There might be other reasons to pick the 80+ Platinum or 80+ Titanium units like maybe the more expensive one also comes with extra cables, longer warranty, a better fan, or some other reason.
There's no right or wrong answer to whether or not you should buy an 80+ Gold or Platinum/Titanium PSU.

Mattias Edeslatt reacted to Gorgon in Suspending BOINC and Folding on UPS Windows 10
Same process appears to work in Windows 10 for CyberPower UPSes connected via USB as well though if the Select Driver option is greyed out then you'd have to manually select the USB HID Battery Driver then reboot.
BTW - Once this works for BOINC it will also work for Folding at Home.
So you could enable the "Pause Work While on Battery Power" in the Advanced Config Tab and when your Utility power fails and your UPS transfers to battery BOINC and/or F@H will pause/suspend and your UPS run-time before shutdown will be much longer.

Mattias Edeslatt reacted to Rodneyg87 in Lost video out while downloading a game on steam
2 years ago when i got my 3080 as it turned out my system would draw more power than a 750w psu could handle so i would keep tripping over current protection and during that time 1000-1200 watt psu's were so ungodly expensive it made more sense to go dual psu. I managed to snag another G2 750w for $74.99 brand new so i just put the 2nd one in my o11 dynamic and its worked just fine ever since. No I have not set it back to single psu since all this started since I kinda draw over 800 watts with this system the way it is. No my gpu did not ramp to 100 percent like it does if I dont turn the switch off fast enough after shutdown. The system kept operating just fine without issue but when I would hard reset the system the D drive which is my sx8200 pro nvme drive would not be detected and this behavior happens everytime I would try to access that drive. Today I received a pcie adaptor card so I plugged it in and the drive still wont detect so I think I have a bad drive but the screwed up thing is I was re-downloading a couple games in the last hour and as soon as I finished the download on apex legends my system did the blank screen thing again while the system in the background was still running just fine. So I hope I don't have a second drive dying on me, now this last drive is a WD blue sata 6 m.2 that I have had in my system since late 2018

Mattias Edeslatt reacted to Goldnbeer in All-RGB Build Mid-Tier and LOTS of Peripherals
@--SID-- and @Mattias Edeslattthanks, that all makes sense. Task manager does say "very high" at idle, however. I assume this still doesn't effect your opinions correct?

Mattias Edeslatt got a reaction from Goldnbeer in All-RGB Build Mid-Tier and LOTS of Peripherals
That is not power usage from the PSU. There is no way for windows to know how much wattage a thread or program is using.
The power usage in task manager is the "power usage" it uses in form of CPU-time and RAM usage and has nothing to do of how much wattage something is using.

Mattias Edeslatt got a reaction from H3ndo08 in GPU sag
Why get a support bracket? There are more elegant solutions.
JayzTwoCents have some good videos about the problem with different solutions. And I like his way of solving the problem and that is the only way of doing it right when you understand why it is happening.

Mattias Edeslatt got a reaction from Adrian_was_Here in please advise, gpu does not out via gpu, it use onboard and uses gpu as shared
When you tried with the setting for PCIE-graphics, did you connect the display-cable to the GPU?
If you connect the monitor to the GPU and have the BIOS-setting to Auto, it should start with the GPU as active even in Windows.
If it is working with shared graphics and it switch over to the GPU when playing, then everything is OK. All the display output via iGPU and the motherboard.

Mattias Edeslatt reacted to Gorgon in Suspending BOINC and Folding on UPS Windows 10
While trolling the Einstein Forms I got thinking again about getting my systems to suspend BOINC tasks when running off the UPS (e.g. during a Power Failure). The issue appears to be that both APC and Cyber Power UPSes install proprietary drivers and BOINC and likely F@H rely flags in the OS which don't get set by these proprietary drivers.
With a default installation of Power Chute Personal Edition on Win 10 Pro 20H1 unplugging the UPS does not Suspend the BOINC Tasks though the PowerChute software shows the UPS as being on battery.
This Video from Sneider Electric (APC) suggested a work-around. In device manager replace the APC Driver with the Microsoft HID Battery Driver then reboot. After the reboot the APC PowerChute software still works but now in the High Performance Power Plan advanced settings I see groups of Power Plan setting for both "Plugged In" and "On Battery." I unplugged the UPS and BOINC Manager shows the tasks going into "Suspended - On Battery" state and my UPS dropped from 127W to 40W.

Why the F did you insert the GPU when the system was powered on? Hot-swapping with consumer electronics is not a feature.
You have most definitely miffed your GPU.

Got this meme locked and loaded for next week.

Mattias Edeslatt reacted to Middcore in Will this brick my pc?
I couldn't care less about my "solved solution rate." I've been here several years now and I participate in lots of discussions where nobody is ever going to get that checkmark that's clearly so precious to you. Unlike some who come through here, I didn't register on this forum to position myself as some sort of guru and stroke my ego by posting Dunning-Kreuger responses to every query. If someone asks for help and I have useful info to offer, I offer it. If I don't, I keep my mouth shut... unless I see someone posting what I know to be bad info that will just lead to people wasting money.
Nobody "attacked you in a negative way" (as opposed to a positive way, I suppose). We told you your advice was bad, which it was. People who are new to PC's come here a lot looking for guidance and if you give them poor guidance, you're going to get called on it, forcefully, because those newbies are the ones who are most vulnerable to being led astray. If you can't handle that pushback, save your advice for the audience of your customers who don't know any better.
