    GoldenLag got a reaction from Shinta in PSU 2021 system - high end   
    Board power limit on the GPU is 390w. 
     
    Which is 5% higher than stock. 
     
    If you are running unlocked powerlimit on the CPU, there isn't much point in overclocking that, and the powerdraw wont change much. 
     
    Ram pulls fuck all.

    GoldenLag got a reaction from Nena Trinity in AMDs FSR   
    Afaik it does. AMD just wont have technical support outside of the mentioned series of GPUs. 
    (Thats how i understood it at least) 
     
    We will know exactly how wide the support is when it launches.

    Also worth keeping in mind that the first M.2 slot will be unusable on 10th gen CPUs due to 11th gen having more PCIe lanes. 
     
    id suggest trying to get 11th gen, look for other retailers, or check out other options if possible.

    GoldenLag reacted to Juular in Which PSU +Watts should I get for my gaming system?   
    Eh, i'm not sure if it's better actually. IIRC Jon cringed finding out that it's Hong Sheng OEM. But the PSU as a whole isn't worse than Focus Gold regardless, i'd get cheapest of the two. But i see a Phanteks AMP 650W for 85$ rn and maybe it worth paying a bit extra for Enermax Revo DF 850W instead.

    and the GF1 is a gilded Tier A, and not just a blue tier A. It also has a better fan. 
     
    its just the better powersupply.

    As i said, out of the options you presented, the GF1 is the best choice. 
     
    Buy on a per unit basis, not based on the sticker. 
     
     
    Seasonic like everyone else has both garbage and good units, in this case the GF1 is just better.

    GoldenLag got a reaction from Eighjan in JayzTwoCents told me to NEVER buy a Gigabyte power supply, what do I get instead?   
    your RM750 is a good powersupply, so i wouldnt care. Multirail isnt a dealbreaker at that wattage.
  17. Agree
    GoldenLag got a reaction from IIIIIIIIII in What are the real benefits of semi-fanless mode?   
    marketing and i suppose idle noise, but an idle PSU is inaudible anyways (with a properly configured fan profile)
     
    honestly i just suggest turning "semi-fanless" operation off most of the time, if its an option.

    dont listen to Jayz when it comes to powersupplies.  Gigabyte doesnt make any powersupplies, they ask OEMs to do so. tho not an important distinction. currently Gigabyte has one catastrophically bad Powersupply. the P GM. however their Auros P GM is ok. Judge on a per unit basis, not on a brand basis.  well the G3 is kinda "eh" with its OPP related issue. 
     
    just dont point to brands, everyone has good and bad powersupplies, just judge on a per unit basis.

    these just about the best options in that budget range. Id probably pick up the A GF for multirail, tho id understand saving a bit on the RMx. Not like Multirail is a dealbreaker at 750w.

    the TL;DR: with Jayz and powersupplies is the following:
    he subscribes to the "buy 80+ gold mindset", which sadly isnt a good mindset when it comes to powersupplies. in fact using 80+ for anything other than an efficiency indicator is silly. And there is more to powersupplies than efficiency.  then there is this where he starts off poorly by getting the first "fact" about powersupplies wrong. 
    now i dont blame him for not knowing powersupplies, most dont. But making a factual video which has missconceptions and missunderstanding about powersupplies isnt exactly great. And if you dont know about PSUs, in general at least read a piece or two by Aris before making a video. 
     
    When it comes to powersupplies specifically, you can write off Jayz. He is an entertainment channel in the same range as LTT. 
     
     
    if you want informative pieces on subjects like motherboards, Powersupplies etc etc. You need to look elsewhere compared to LTT and Jayz. For similar reasons, dont use Bitwit for powersupply guidance either.
     
    hopefully this offered some insight. Hopefully this didnt come off as me just bashing tech youtubers. Its just that some really dont give good advice on powersupplies.

    like pointed to earlier, either of these would be plenty fine, even if you were feeling fancy to add something like a 3080 or 3090 into it. They are for the time being very compelling offers. They are excessive wattage wise, but they dont cost notably more over similar quality 650w units (tho honestly 550w is also plenty fine for that build).

    GoldenLag got a reaction from Herman Mcpootis in What AIO is best for my build?   
    it was entirely because it was allready included in Hermans build. also it doesnt list price, so its entirely placeholder. Granted i could have pointed that out.
    good to know. 
    Might aswell. 16gb isnt exactly sufficient for all titles. And you get to roll the dice on getting Rev B dimms. 
     
    which:
    Perform well if you ever want to touch memmory overclocking, they overclock well.  i mean you could spend 7$ less for a Leadex, or spend a little extra for a GF1. 
     
     
    if we are being completely honest, the Focus GM you picked is kinda silly considering what it is. (its listed as a Focus FM, but thats not sold anymore). Especially if you are gonna take the "neccesity" argument. 
     
    like you could get something cheap an nice like these:
