Or, hear me out. Don't spend £100 on a 10+ year old PSU. It's a waste of £100 regardless of how long he's planning on using it. A literal 1050 W ATX 3.1 rated PSU is £121. Excellent 850 W ATX 3.0/3.1 rated options exist for cheaper or slightly more expensive than £100. Every single one...

You don't really need the D16, D15 successor, the U12A is perfectly fine for a 5700X and any future AMD chip you'll use on AM5. It uses the current generation NF-A12x25 Sterrox LCP fans. Newer fans from other manufacturers copy this innovation of liquid crystal polymer and close tolerances, but...

So for £40-45 more you could have gotten a brand new unit with a native 16 pin plug. Not much of a deal.

Use it as a spare or in a PC with low importance. Absolutely do not use it for a 10 year build when you already have a good budget. I remember you saying something about several thousand £ in the last thread. This is the kind of thing you use when you're scraping together used parts for a...

5800X3D now, 5070 later.

Water electrolyte with ~600 wh/kg. Another interesting tech option. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Non-flammable-battery-thanks-to-water-as-electrolyte.836209.0.html https://www.nature.com/articles/s41560-024-01515-9

So don't install the add on? What's the problem here?

Literally just get better fans. Your case is fine. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/?category=Fans&manufacturer=&editorschoice=1&pp=25&order=date

Desperation? My dude their main competitor is supposedly not even trying high end this upcoming gen. NVIDIA are competing with themselves, and I don't think they're going to find it difficult. Reminder that most 4090 cards use around 450 W out of the box. People like to throw the "600 W"...

Whatever you say buddy.

I'm not interested in arguing hypotheticals with you. Have a nice day.

It's not scary at all.

If efficiency increases (work done/power used), which it has with RTX 40xx compared to RTX 30xx, significantly, the power limits don't bother me.

Firstly is a "it depends" Secondly is context, you're implying when tuning and turning off HT, voltage/frequency imrprovements are "not automatic", right, this does not make my original statement "factually incorrect". This is a different situation to having out of the box HT disabled/not...

Yeah it really astounds me that some people/armchair critics seem to think they know better than Intel researchers and engineers, who have delivered some incredible advancements over the years, and are some of the smartest, most innovative people in the industry. These guys look to be the first...
