    Jurrunio got a reaction from Dragamore in What would be better to get? An Inverter with batteries for my current PC? Or a Laptop?   
    You can also find info on battery capacity. 70W is an estimate for my case, my laptop is a 8750H + 1060 6GB build with 1080p 120Hz display. 70w is the power used during Handbrake transcoding with NVENC when I use stock power settings on battery. Should use less when editing but I'm not certain

    Jurrunio got a reaction from Wojo in Intake vs Exhaust   
    Dont use the PSU as path for case airflow, leave it alone with the fan facing outside. They are temperature sensitive, a degree hotter is worse for it than CPU or GPU running a couple degrees hotter.
     
    As for intake or exhaust, I would prefer exhaust just because blowing into a ton of obstruction (as would happen as an intake) is not as efficient to me.

    Actually meant to say 70W, not 700.
     
    I'm not to well versed in laptops but it will be down to what you do get in your region. Light workloads right? Maybe something with say GTX 1650 or RTX 3050 is already sufficient, those are entry level gaming laptops typically.

    Not impossible to get that amount of batteries, say a 700W device (laptops mostly, desktop typically use more) for 5 hours need at least 350Wh (literally Watts multiply Hours) battery which some electric bikes already use. Those are usually DC and at lower voltage than what power bricks or power supply a computer would use so you do need an inverter and transformer to make this work, they have losses too so expect another 25% margin (and not to drain your batteries to empty). Still, not a cheap approach.
     
    6 hours is relatively easy to reach for Windows based models with the help of manually limiting power use, this is imo better if you're not going to build a power system by yourself.

    Inverter? You mean UPS (basically a huge power bank)? Don't see how a DC to AC or opposite converter is going to help in a power cut. That said they are designed to only power PCs for 2~3 mins, no more than 10 mins so you can save necessary data rather than shutting down suddenly and lose all your progress. They don't last long enough to handle sustained hours of power cut.
     
    As for laptop, how many hours are you hoping the battery to last? You have almost no options other than ARM based Macbooks if you want it to last 8 hours of video and audio editing, some Windows based laptops can reach that far but just barely.

    The following list is based on facts, ranked on power delivery and known problems. The list will include boards that support CPU overclocking available at retail from different brands.
     
    There are still differences in performance among boards of the same tier. As a result, those that barely made it into that tier will be in orange while those that are better than others in the same tier are in blue. Unless specified, boards sharing the same name and chipset in different form factors are ranked the same.
     
    For advanced users: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Smj5dh97n32wJqm5dkdDcQt8ID7vH52-lKzaaXUUQx8/edit?usp=sharing
     
    AMD
     
    All current draw figures are based on Prime95 small FFT with AVX unless otherwise specified, in other words the worst case scenario.
     
    Only often recommended sku of CPUs in the same generation and core/thread count configuration is named, others share the same rating.
     
    Zen scales down frequency and voltage according to EDC (current limit) and TDC (thermal limit) settings of the motherboard so in theory you won’t cook the VRM of any board at stock, you just lose frequency.
     
    For tier A and above, due to lack of feasible CPUs that allow testing of the boards at higher current ratings, there are some level on guessing in terms of how much more power the VRM can take.
     
    AM4 (Athlon, Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5, Ryzen 7, Ryzen 9)
     
    B550 and X570S Speculation: If you cant find the board above, then it should be here. If it's already up there, then ignore what it's placed here
     
    TR4 (Ryzen Threadripper 1xxx and 2xxx) X399
     
    sTRX4 (Ryzen Threadripper 3xxx) TRX40 (largely guessing since there's little data)

    Jurrunio got a reaction from Dantanv in 4070 speculations   
    the 4070 is probably a 3080 equivalent in performance since the 4070Ti is between the 3090 and 3090Ti, but honestly the price is always the worst side of these cards. Especially if they cut it down to 8GB on the same AD104 GPU which will drop the memory bus width to 128 bit.

    Jurrunio got a reaction from hash02 in Is there a difference between PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 riser cables?   
    Last time I asked somewhere, they told me that the riser is thicker in order to insulate noise from outside better in order to maintain signal integrity of PCIe 4.0 standards.
     
    basically, the same stuff board vendors did to their motherboards in order to be PCIe 4 compatible.

    Jurrunio got a reaction from EJ_Tech in WD Blue SA510 SATA SSD Poor Performance   
    They changed that ever since they start using numbers in SSD names. Now WD Red is the one with DRAM while Blue doesn't.
     
    I myself don't like their HMB for the masses approach, RAM is not cheap these days and it's not like they're giving customers discounts for not getting on-SSD DRAM.

    One of the people getting a rig will be doing some creative work on the system, and I think the extra 2GB of VRAM on the 1070 might help with that.

    Jurrunio got a reaction from CommanderAlex in LGA2066 Motherboard Options   
    why makes the C422 WSI/IPMI non-standard to you? You can't use X299 because you have a Xeon, must use C422 or other LGA 2066 based C chipset. This means all of them would look like a server board because they frankly all are.

    Jurrunio got a reaction from Radium_Angel in ITX board that supports Ivy Bridge or Haswell Xeons?   
    CPU? Quick look in ebay shows a bunch of listings for 6th gen i5s at $30~40 each, you might be able to find even better deals if you look closely. Even i7s (locked mind you) are about $60~70 each.
     
    Mobo: If H110s are too basic, get B150 and B250 chipset ones. Different models of ITX boards don't differ too much beyond the most barebones of models (which is the H110 chipset), it's about checking the conditions of each listing and not worry about the particular model too much.

    Jurrunio got a reaction from Radium_Angel in ITX board that supports Ivy Bridge or Haswell Xeons?   
    mITX and mini-ITX are the more correct terms, but there arent other form factor that goes with ITX in part of their name so it's also interchangeable I think
     
    It's before Intel became a dick head by locking low core count Xeons away from general consumer boards, practically any H77/Z77/B85 etc chipset ITX boards would do.
     
    That said, ITX boards that long ago are rare enough to either cost way too much or have doubtful origins. 6th/7th gen will imo be the better way to go, basic i5s can be had for little money and ITX became more common starting from that time.
    I think Xeon E3s are the CPUs he's describing
