happywormy reacted to Lewiscpullan in I am looking forwad to stream
I was just talking on a hardware standpoint which is what he asked, I presumed since he said he liked to stream that his internet is good enough to stream. But you're right I should clarified that I was just talking on a hardware stand point.

happywormy got a reaction from LienusLateTips in 1150 ti or 2050ti any news on whats coming up next?
Your comment makes no sense whatsoever. 1050Ti sounded weird too when it first came out. Gta 5 sounded weird too after Gta 4. The new CSGO gun sounds sounded weird too.

happywormy got a reaction from GitGud in Ethereum mining
You won’t make money from mining with a single card and the investment is stupid. BUUTTT I would say take like a 1080 Ti and try to pay it back with mining. It’s not worth it.

happywormy reacted to mpsparrow in 1060 3gb vs 1050 ti
People are too harsh on the 1060 3GB. Sure it is not quite as powerful as the 6GB version. When gaming I almost never max out my 3GB of vram and am still able to max basically everything at 2560x1080 50-60FPS.

when you're downloading it will be measured in megaBYTEs per second. so you 114 megaBIT per second speed equates to roughly 15 megaBYTES. what are you using as your download "test" files

happywormy reacted to mariushm in Let me get this straight about PSU’s
Good quality power supply from brand names will output UP TO the advertised power (430w, 500w) to components on the 3 voltages : 3.3v , 5v , 12v.
Depending on how much power the components take, the power supply efficiency will vary. For example, here's a typical 80% bronze efficiency power supply :
The picture above shows a Xigmatek 500w bronze efficiency power supply running from 230v AC. At 110v AC, drop around 1% from every point in the graph.
So for example, when your computer idles in Windows (browsing some websites, or when watching a movie) the components in your computer will only consume around 80-100w, so the power supply efficiency will be around 82%
When you're gaming and the components demand up to 350w or so, the power supply will be up to 86% efficient.
You can translate this to:
At idle, 100w will be 82% of the total power the power supply takes from the mains socket", so the psu actually uses 100w * 100 / 82 = 122 watts.
At load (gaming), 350w will be 86% of the total power taken from the mains socket, so the psu actually uses 350 x 100 / 86 = 406 watts (56w are wasted as heat inside the psu)
The above power supply can deliver 500w to components (or slightly more, but it's only guaranteed for 500w) with around 85% efficiency, so if you were to have components that use in total 500w, the power supply will take 588w from the mains socket.

happywormy reacted to Tabs in Let me get this straight about PSU’s
Your second statement is true. The rating supplied on a power supply is the "maximum combined power" that can be *delivered* by the supply, on the output end, without considering overload situations. The input power will be higher, to account for the losses incurred from converting residential AC to rectified DC rails.

happywormy reacted to QuantumBit in Let me get this straight about PSU’s
Pretty sure its the second. Also PSU calculators overshoot. A 450w powersupply will be fine but if you can get a higher wattage for like $5 more, why not.

happywormy reacted to wonderforest in Ryzen 5 or 7
For Ryzen it's really important to get faster RAM (3000mhz ish) because of the infinity fabric that bind the differents modules.
