  1. what I'm saying is that what you're seeing isn't data I trust because of errors in probing, EMI, inaccurate tools or other errors causing these kinds of numbers. There's a bit known about it, but because I need people like Aris and Jon to get their cards for testing to know things for sure, all I'm saying is that there's a lack of ino
  2. I'm waiting on certain people to get their hands on the cards to do some testing, I've already seen enough errors from fcpowerup and people that just have either too slow or too flawed tools and fyi... it might not even be ocp/opp, it might be uvp
  3. I think they had some probing/emi errors there... or some really cheap measuring tools
  4. the TPU review is fully true and a possible cause of the DOAs people have received with it. long story short: when put under high loads, the FETs get overwhelmed and will eventually blow because of it being both too low quality and the OCP/OPP being set too high
  5. it's purely to show that the white versions of both are the same as the gray housing versions, to confirm it here
  6. one: maxtytan isn't even platinum, it's above that two: this is a topic aimed at questions around the psu tier list and such, not for recommendations we have a whole forum for that
  7. mediocre at best... like most of Sohoo/Gamemax
  8. someone sent me a link at this retailer: https://www.vedantcomputers.com/pc-components/power-supply/corsair-vs-series-vs500-500-watt-80-plus-certified-non-modular-atx-psu?sort=p.price&order=ASC I assumed the same, but I wanted to make sure of it since iirc you did note CV was going to replace it instead of fall in between
  9. @jonnyGURUI saw a black label VS coming up recently... Anything new compared to the gray label one?
  10. And as you can guess I'm taking this thing straight down
  11. would've said the same if I didn't have context lmao
  12. notice: this does NOT affect GP-APGM/Aorus PGM units. This is the same OEM, but different components and main design has been used here. GP-PGM GP-APGM Summary Gigabyte's recently announced unit has an issue, where the OPP is set too high, causing the main FETs to explode because of it being unable to handle the load. There is no public statement from Gigabyte and I didn't reach out to them about this, but have reached out to Aristeidis Mpitziopoulos, better known as Aris about what exactly happened. All info provided is from his video and review below. Quotes My thoughts I think Gigabyte's response to this is unacceptable and very worrying. They've been offered the sample back, they've had a request to send a second unit to let the reviewer test it out and declined both of these. This is a serious issue where there isn't even a statement given. All that's been done is a couple unit put into testing by R&D where they didn't find anything. I honestly want Gigabyte to call back all the units, change the FETs to a higher quality level and supply the new designs to the affected consumers. This is a serious issue that has very likely been caused by cheaping out on main components, as GP-APGM didn't show this. Further information The OCP is set at around 130% The main fets are 2x Jilin Sino-Microelectronics JCS18N50FH (500 V, 11 A @ 100 °C, Rds (on): 0.27 ohm) The failure happened after the unit succesfully shut down on OPP/OCP, where it was turned on again after 5 minutes. The issue is likely caused by cheap main FETs, a too high set OPP/OCP, a design error or a combination of these. It does not affect the similarly named GP-APGM or any other Gigabyte units from what is currently known Sources https://www.techpowerup.com/review/gigabyte-gp-p750gm-750-w/single-page.html#introduction
  13. Summary NZXT is recalling all H1 cases due to a design error where one of the screws can cause sparks, making the case able to catch fire under normal use. If you have a H1 currently, contact h1support@nzxt.com for further assistence. NZXT didn't leave any details to the problem, gave no solution outside of contacting them and is only hinting to making a kit to solve the problem. Quotes My thoughts I personally think NZXT's response to this is lackluster. It's a good thing they've set up a separate support, halted sales and made some public feedback, but in this they didn't even detail the problem itself or link to the second post that discovered it around 20 days earlier than them coming out with it. I understand that looking into this issue takes a couple days, especially right now, but that doesn't excuse you from hinting at so many things without giving a proper breakdown of the problem in my eyes. Especially considering we're talking about a 350 dollar case here. I hope they do work things out and that current H1 users get compensated for this serious design error.

  14. correct, but we prefer not to do unit/case-specific recommendations here, we have a whole forum for that. This topic is mainly meant for questions around the list, problems/errors and so on
  15. That's because it is It's only for T2, because the 1600w meets gilding, while 1200w and below only meet the quiet methodology
  16. GPUs like a 1080 ti, 2080 ti, 3000 series, vega, 6000 series and so on they wouldn't
  17. as long as you don't pair it with a high transient GPU, it's a good unit. it's just that it has shown some shutdown issues with certain GPUs
  18. partially my fault, because I don't update the list as often as others push updates to the sheet, but it's also because a lot of the work has already been done to it, so we don't need to do the almost daily updated we had at first

    @LukeSavenije or whoever might know off the top…

    yes, but less heavily... can't say for sure if 550w will be enough though I generally recommend 650w to be safe, tbh

    I'm here just like... Someone's getting 10 bucks from AMD for doing a paper launch
