I'd say it's more important to focus on the key components first instead of introducing more content that'd require time being put into developing a methodology, training staff, etc. Especially considering the low volume of reviews released already, and the time it took to cover e.g. 7950X3D.

oh, ok

As does every other electrical component. What's your point?
I would be far more concerned about things like the fan dying, thermal paste drying up. Capacitors simply so rarely just die outright that it's not worth worrying about them past a certain point.

This is mainly a myth. 
 
Capacitors are far from the first thing to fail though...

I definitely wouldn't buy G5 over RMx with that price difference, especially not with a 3090 in the system.

It isn't just a question of Gold vs. Platinum though, their current PSU is a pretty low-midrange offering.

None of these are particularly great compared to, say, RMx

Thanks for noticing that mr obvious xD
 
Thing is youll prob get better compatibility with a used b450 or b350 so i suggest getting a midrange b450 like the asrock pro4/steel legend, theyll prob be sub 60$ considering thats what i can find em for here in developing indonesia so since you are in the us i suspect youll find better deals for cheaper, heck you may even be able to find cheap x370/470, though for midrange boards just focus on i/o only since the vrm is most likely fine, ram topology doesnt matter unless you are dealing with 4dimms
 
Oc wise i would just stick with intel 14nn spec for vcore (1.52v) but unlikely youll need to or can go over 1.4v, micron rev e is light on the imc but unsure of rev b, expect ~3600-3800 for micron ics
 
Also you sure the guy will even give a crap about lights? Hes making do with an optiplex after all so i doubt he would care about lights, fan wise you can get phanteks fsk for rgbs, psu rgb is just f fing stupid so i dont suggest spending on rgb on that, btw 600w segotep gp is at 50$ and 850w gf1 pe is at 90$ for psu reccomendations, there is used psus but i doubt youll care about those

You circled the SPD chip, which communicates to the system the voltage, bus width, etc. of the stick

Honestly I'd look to replacing it, as running a PSU outside of the warranty period is a sign you've been running it a little too long. AX650 is a fairly good PSU for being released in 2010, but even so, it's still a 2010 PSU lol.

No? There is zero guarantee of that, especially if 12v is sent to ground and vice versa. Or 12v is sent to 5v.

Well, no. literally the only reason for this is a floating case, which means an improper ground.
