    KaitouX got a reaction from danwat1234 in DON'T Buy a Used Mining GPU! - $h!t Manufacturers Say   
    Gamers often abuse their GPUs way more than miners, but apparently that is different and doesn't count. It's funny how you don't see people saying "The used GPU I bought stopped working because it was used to gaming/folding/rendering." but you do see "... because it was used to mining". If you can't deal with getting unlucky and the GPU stopping working without having any way to recover it through warranty, buying used isn't for you.
     
    On topic: I think it was added that the reason for the lost performance according to Palit was the age of the thermal paste/pads and dust, which would increase the temperatures and lower performance as result. Basically the normal expected issues with any old GPU that can be solved in 5 minutes.

    When I had the same error it kept failing until I used diskpart to manually do it, so it might not have fixed it.

    KaitouX got a reaction from almog in What should I choose, big air cooler or 240mm AIO?   
    If you can keep your current for a bit, a Thermalright PA120 on Aliexpress is a good option, it costs about R$270 currently, so probably not worth it, but it was going for R$180 with the black friday sales and coupons. Those prices already includes the taxes.
    Other alternative is the Deepcool AG620, which is going for R$309(Pix)+shipping on GKInfoStore, or wait for it to go on sale somewhere else, once in a while it appears under R$350 on other shops.
    If you want something cheaper, I would probably look into the AG400 over the Pichau cooler, you can find in multiple shops for under R$150(Pix).

    The 12600KF and 12700KF are probably the best budget CPU options currently in the US, as they're on sale for $140 and $200 on Amazon and NewEgg.

    The 12600K for not even $10 more currently is a no-brainer, the iGPU can be helpful on some editing software, plus higher clocks and 4 E-cores.

    Unless your budget is extremely limited(which it isn't by the 7900XTX), I wouldn't go for AM4.
    LGA1700 and AM5 are just much better currently.

    KaitouX reacted to porina in Logic / theory for new build high-end PC which produces the LEAST amount of heat radiation?   
    Agreed but being realistic it isn't likely for anyone to drop it that far for normal use. Depending on the model there are limits to how low you can go, in Afterburner at least. On my 4070 I can only go down to 50%. I think my 2070 which I don't have any more could only go down to 71%.

    Depending on how low you want to go with the power limit, this might not be correct. In my experience with power limiting GPUs, if you drop the power more than half it starts do drop the performance really hard, and this seems to be true for the 4090 as well, @150W it seems to be actually slower than the 4070@200W in benchmarks, i would guess this is due to the rest of the board using a lot more power on the 4090 then a 4070.
    For CPUs, as long as you keep the power at 65W or above it's fine for both Intel and AMD, the flagships are the fastest, but if you lower below 45W for AMD and 35W for Intel, lower end CPUs end up performing almost identically, with the difference between flagship and 13600K/7700X getting under 5%.
     
    But for both CPUs and GPUs, in general, as long as you don't go too low on the limit, the higher end models are the most efficient when limited.

    If you're willing to tweak some settings it's possible. You would be sacrificing performance, that's obvious, but not as much as many people expect. For example, running a 13900K/14900K at 125W, you would be losing roughly 20% performance compared to stock in heavy all-core workloads, and a 7950X at 88W also loses roughly the same. The 4090 can be limited to about 230W while keeping about 80% of stock performance, I think the 4080 and 4070Ti might be better suited for lower power targets though as in GPUs there are other parts of the board you can't really tweak. For the most part you can assume that in most current high-end parts you can cut the power consumption in half while losing 25% or less performance on average.

    A 13900K@125W is faster than a 13700K@253W, the 7950X@88W is faster than the 7900X@230W, when you limit both to the same power the 13900K is ~20% faster than the 13700K(@125W) and the 7950X is 18% faster than the 7900X(@88W), which while a smaller difference than when both are stock, still is a decent difference and it also gives you flexibility to decide how you set up the CPU, if you're okay with a slightly higher power consumption, you could set the 13900K to 190W and lose something like 5~8% compared to stock, or set PL1 and PL2 in a way where short tasks get the entire 253W limit and longer ones get limited to 150W.
    The 4090@~230W is also slightly faster than the 4080@Stock, it also comes with more VRAM, which is helpful, or even necessary for some applications.
    There's also undervolting, but that is a lot more dependent on silicon luck.

    It doesn't make much sense to go with a Z790 board with a 12400 unless you're getting some crazy discount on it. Also I don't think that board can overclock the 12400, but I'm not sure on that.
     
    If you want to go 12400F + Z790 + DDR5, i would probably advise against it, a Ryzen 7600 + B650 + DDR5 is going to be about the same price for better performance. A 13600K + B760 + DDR4 would probably also be similar in price.

    They did try to backtrack on the long term AM4 support multiple times. But they ended up doing the right thing(after a lot of backlash) and adding Zen2 support to B350/X370 boards and Zen 3 support to B450/X470 and later B350/X370.

    KaitouX got a reaction from _Alexa_93 in Buying PC Tommorow Around 1000$ Budget   
    I only mentioned the cooler for the 13600KF, with the AG620 being a quiet and capable cooler for the same as the price difference between the 7700 and 13600KF, and the AG400 louder and less capable, but would save ~$40 compared to going with the 7700.
    13600KF + AG620 is the same price as the 7700
    13600KF + AG400 is ~$40 cheaper than the 7700
     
    The 13600K and 7700X are nearly identical in games overall, depending on the variables one or the other will be ahead by 3~5% on average. 3DCenter summary of 20+ reviews put the 13600K 1,6% ahead of the 7700X, which is (again) nearly identical performance. I consider platform support a bonus/tiebreaker, and only that, I wouldn't pay more to get it, for all we know Zen 5 can be trash and Zen 6 can be on AM6. And unless there's a clear intent to upgrade within 3 years, it's mostly irrelevant.

    I'm talking about the 13600KF, and in this case the 7700 is more expensive.
    Prices in the shop posted are:
    7700 - 45.719 RSD (~416USD)
    7700X - 44.604 RSD (~405USD)
    13600K - 40.808 RSD (~371USD)
    13600KF - 37.990 RSD (~345USD)
    The coolers I mentioned are
    AG620 - 7.941 RSD (~72USD)
    AG400 - 3.613 RSD (~32USD) for the cheapest variant, with non-ARGB LEDs

    The 13600KF is probably by far the best CPU option out of those, being about $70 cheaper which allows for a beefy cooler like the AG620 while being about the same price as the 7700, or you could get something a bit more basic like the AG400 and save some money, but it probably would be loud and hot at full load unless you tweak the power limits, likely irrelevant if it's only for gaming though.

    KaitouX got a reaction from Tetras in B450 PCIE 3.0 Motherboard on an RTX 4060 Ti; is it worth upgrading to a B550 PCIE 4.0 motherboard?   
    It absolutely can, just like the 6600XT, it's a GPU with 8GB of VRAM and x8 PCIe bus. In some (rare) games it can lose significant amounts of performance depending on the resolution and settings used, in most cases and games it should be a minor to non-existent difference though.
     
    Would it be worth upgrading to a B550 board? No, unless it's free, if you have to pay to upgrade might as well save a bit then sell the CPU with the motherboard and get a Zen 4 or Alder/Raptor Lake CPU.

    Games that are small in filesize are also probably more likely to be installed and uninstalled more often, as for most people with decent internet downloading a 500mb or less from steam takes less than a minute, reinstalling is also usually the first troubleshooting step for many, again small games in particular due to how fast it's to download them.
     
    Also would updates count as new installation? That would be crazy, as storefronts usually automatically install those.

    KaitouX got a reaction from Tan3l6 in Cooling ideas for 13700K   
    To have the same performance it's not going to be easier to cool, as you need to remove the power limits or set them to the same as the 13700K. And you can also just lower the power limits on the 13700K.
    The 13700(F) can be a good option if it's for a good discount, but for example I would say that in the US currently the 13700K is the best option, as it's only $15 more than the 13700F and you get an unlocked CPU with iGPU that will likely sell for slightly more when that time comes.
     
    On the cooler topic, besides the already mentioned, other popular and good options are the Deepcool AK620 and the Scythe Fuma 3, they are all quite close to each other in performance.
