What does your specs look like? Maybe you don't need a 750W unit and can focus on getting a lower wattage, but higher quality one.

I mean, the only review out there has a sub-topic called "the explosion", so I wouldn't touch it with a 10m pole.

What is that thing called again? Oh yeah, auto translate, I use it to read Computerbase DE articles all the time!

Is that what I think it is? A VRM daughter board? Oh my!

I know that this may be less relevant due to the newer list being out, but this direct carbon copy of the list: https://www.gamingscan.com/psu-hierarchy/ made me chuckle. Ignoring the fact that they did not credit anyone here, the tier labels are the funniest, with them only not recommending the lowest tier when realistically (on their list) tier 3 and below is where the crap units come into play.

Looks like someone seems to have a superiority complex, but seriously, track record means nothing. Every company is capable of releasing crap units, and the simple brand name shouldn't be trusted, model is what counts. Given your example, Seasonic or Aerocool, if I was not a power supply geek, I would just crack out the fancy PSU tier list and see what each model is generally like, and make my choice based on pricing and the tiering on the list. Oh my, we do have a special person here, the S12 is around a decade old, uses a group regulation system that makes voltages go out of specification and lacks OTP and OCP. But sure, good old Kevin, without $10000 measuring equipment is definitely a more trustworthy source of reviews than Aris or the guys on Computerbase. To summarise, consumers know nothing, consumers can only tell if their unit died from "infant mortality" or if it was DoA, consumers also are capable of making negative/positive reviews for arbitrary reasons, some not even related to the PSU itself. Directly quoting a review: Calling performance "low-level", sure mate. These are the reviews we should trust? People dismissing actual performance and relying on brand trust to ensure their unit is not crap. EDIT: Just to show how much you are overestimating (Also 100W for a motherboard, you sure your watch isn't set back 10 years ago?): The test system is a i7 7820X (stock, but still a higher frequency on a less power efficient node), 4x8GB of RAM, X299 High end motherboard, 1TB SSD, RTX 2070 or other cards. A system that objectively consumes more power, but even then, the power consumption is way less than your "calculations" if you could even call it that.

B3 OPP issues have been fixed last I recalled with the most recent review of the 650W unit from a Tomshardware review not mentioning any issue with its protections. T2 and G2 are the same platform, so yeah. The reason why they are not in tier S is because the G2 and T2 have hold up time issues and, compared to units that are in S tier, worse voltage regulation. For example, if we compare the voltage regulation of the AX1500i and the G2, the AX1500i continually has really tight voltage regulation on all rails compared to the G2. G3 has characteristically poor protections, 140% power draw until OPP kicks in on the <1kW models, with the 1kW model dying from its improperly configured OPP. While a user may struggle to actually trigger OPP or enter near such range, its always a nice thing to have if other parts are faulty, and simply put if a power supply has improperly configured protections it doesn't deserve to be higher. On the topic of the BQ, I would attribute it to the negative of tier lists. You cannot create many tiers to the point when it becomes clunky to use or reference. Obviously the BQ is lesser than the CX/CXM.

Oh, I already know about the code for input validation. But as you said, since I know there is no input validation, and I will be the one using it, there is no need. Heck, if it doesn't run I'll exactly know why, because my stupid self had fat finger syndrome. Update: I got all four things working: from math import pi from math import sqrt percision = float(input("Enter the percision for the calculation: ")) def basel(percision): basel_result = 0 basel_term = 0 basel_total = 0 base_list = [] while basel_total <= (pi - percision): basel_term = basel_term + 1 basel_result = (1/(basel_term**2)) base_list.append(basel_result) basel_total = sqrt((sum(base_list)) * 6) return(basel_total, basel_term) print(basel(percision)) def wallis(percision): wallis_result = 1 wallis_total = 0 wallis_term = 0 while wallis_total <= (pi - percision): wallis_term = wallis_term + 1 wallis_result = wallis_result *((2 * wallis_term) * (2 * wallis_term)) / ((2 * wallis_term - 1) * (2 * wallis_term + 1)) wallis_total = wallis_result * 2 return (wallis_total, wallis_term) #print(wallis(percision)) def taylor(percision): taylor_result = 0 taylor_total = 0 taylor_term = 0 if taylor_total * 4 != (pi-percision): while True: taylor_term += 1 print(taylor_term) taylor_result = taylor_result + ((-1)**(taylor_term + 1)) * (1/(2*taylor_term-1)) print(taylor_result) taylor_total = taylor_result * 4 if taylor_term != 1 and round(pi - taylor_total, (len(str(percision).replace('.',''))) -1) == -1 * percision: #take the length of str(percision), remove the decimal point and -1 to remove counting the 0 break #required as the first erm of taylor algorithim total would be 4 and would instantly end the function return(taylor_total,taylor_term) #print(taylor(percision)) def spigot(percision): spigot_result = 0 spigot_total = 0 spigot_term = 0 spigot_past = 1 spig_count = 1 nat_list = [] fib_list = [1, 1] result_list = [] while spigot_total * 2 <= (pi - percision): nat_list.append(spigot_term+1) #creates list of natural numbers, including 0 fib_list.append(fib_list[spigot_term]+fib_list[spigot_term+1]) #creates list of fibonnaci squence spigot_result = spigot_past * (fib_list[spigot_term]) / ((nat_list[spigot_term]* 2 -1)) result_list.append(spigot_result) spigot_term +=1 spigot_past = spigot_result spigot_total = sum(result_list) if round(pi - spigot_total *2, (len(str(percision).replace('.',''))) - 1) == -1 * percision: break return(spigot_total * 2, spigot_term + 1) #print(spigot(percision)) The last one was a PITA, the numerator is a Fibonacci sequence and the denominator is a list of natural numbers.

import math pi = float(math.pi) percision = float(input("Enter the percision for the calculation: ")) base_list = [] def basel(percision): basel_result = 0 basel_term = 0 basel_total = 0 while basel_total <= (math.pi - percision): basel_term = basel_term + 1 basel_result = (1/(basel_term**2)) base_list.append(basel_result) basel_total = math.sqrt((sum(base_list)) * 6) return(basel_total, basel_term) print(basel(percision)) This is what I have made, and it works, flawlessly. If it looks good then good, if my code looks like spaghetti is there any tips/conventions that you can offer me. Also I will insert comments after I finish my other 3 approximations (internal sadface).

Would it be a wise move to use a "while" loop with the conditions of the "if" statement instead of the for loop. As the output of the function has to be the number of terms to approximate pi. For example, if the input is the precision of (0.1) then it should output (approximation to such precision, basel_terms).

I am writing a program to approximate pi using different methods, I am on my first method, Basel problem which comes in the following notation: pi2/6 = 1/1 + 1/4 + 1/9 + 1/16 + 1/25 My code is a function: import math percision = float(input("Enter the percision for the calculation: ")) def basel(percision): basel_result = 0 basel_total = math.sqrt(basel_result * 6) basel_term = 0 for basel_term in range(1, basel_term): if math.sqrt(6* basel_result) < math.pi(percision): #loop keeps adding until the result is within the accuracy value of pi basel_term = basel_term + 1 basel_result = basel_result + 1/basel_term**2 return(basel_total, basel_term) print(basel(percision)) However, every time I enter the percision value (say 0.1) it returns the output (0.0, 0). What am I doing wrong?

Indeed.

Yeah for some reason AMD software allows for power target to be pushed to 150% vs 120% from NVidia. It kinda sucks for AMD because a lot of the hysteria surrounding Vega power draw was when overclocking with 150% PT benchmarks where shown, their own act to make to increase liberties in their software led to (I am assuming here) lower sales due to rumors or misinformation.

I know this may be unrelated, but the Seasonic Focus Plus series of the PSU had an issue with V56/64 cards, I guess not anymore. Gosh, its so ridiculous to look at the Vega peak draw compared to its competitors.

Not 6+2 but 8 to 2x8 pin converters.

No its just a hypothetical as I have seen a lot of people say if the wattage of the power supply can support the graphics card, then using splitters is alright. Realizing that now and a bit of googling the 8pin has a 150W max while the 6pin has a 75W max. I've seen his comments, fair to say that he has convinced the entire internet to not buy it. I knew about the OTP and cross load but since I wasn't sure about OCP, I wasn't sure about its OCP issue.

So this is why the S12/M12 is shunned.

So say if some 'smart person' tried to power a Vega 64 with a single 8 pin using splitters the wires would melt/be damaged and the power supply wouldn't to jack?

The logic behind how it operates, triggers and some example scenarios please.

I've been trying to understand how OCP works, I've read through JG's articles and Toms PSUs 101 but still have trouble grasping the logic of it. For example, the Corsair CX650M has 54A on its single 12v rail but wouldn't the OCP trip at 20A (240VA at 12v) or does OCP trigger when someone is trying to pull more power than a cable is specified to handle (i.e An 8 pin from the PSU to a splitter in a 1080ti). Do single rail PSUs even need OCP? Help. I am confused, complicated and detailed answers are welcome.

Yeah I've dabbled back into modded minecraft, too bad my bud is a Minecraft purist (Basically hates all tech/tech-magic mods except for old industrial craft). Also hates SkyBlock

When I was young I used to play modded Minecraft on my old laptop. The laptop was having issues playing the game, I googled for an hour and realised the model of laptop has only 2GB of RAM. I asked my father, who works in IT to upgrade the memory, he put in a 4GB SD card. Placebo effect worked for 60 seconds and resorted to playing AoE2. Good times.

Better ripple means that you can have a stable overclock at a lower voltage. So if you are on a voltage wall/edge of the safe voltage for X processor then it may give higher clocks in that round about way.

To the tune of Louis Rossman, you don't dry your ass when you take a shit, you clean it. You don't dry your tech when it gets wet, you clean it.

I have three emails for this basic purpose: A shitty email used for shitty things, including scripts to delete the constant spam it gets (hasn't been leaked). An email used for video gaming services (the one that was leaked). An email for serious stuff.
