"High-End"

[ServiceStar]

need your input mga bossing na magandang psu. 550w or 650w. budget around 3k. tia.

[DonKB-PSX]

^^^ May specs na? Kung hindi sigurado, puwede mo rin subukan yung PSU Calculator...

https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator

Take note na yung number of CPU yung actual na physical na processor package / chip at hindi yung bilang ng cores. May kakilala kasi ako ang nilagay yata ay 8 sa CPU kaya ang taas ng Wattage requirement sa PSU at UPS. Kung hindi naman ganoon katakaw sa power yung mga piyesa ng PC na gagamitin, kahit mag 80 Plus Bronze Certification na PSU. Ang advantage lang ng Silver, Gold, Platinum at Titanium ay mas efficient sa pag consume ng power = less wasted power na nako-convert sa init = cooler PC.

A lot of people trust Seasonic so go with that. Personally, I had good experience also with Silverstone. Meron din naman trusted ang Corsair pero alam ko depende rin sa series eh. Ang reliable yung RM, at TX series yata. Although I've also built a Ryzen 1700 PC for a friend na may PSU na nasa lampas konti ng P3k nung early 2018 at umaandar pa naman ngayon.. I just can't remember if it was a Seasonic or Silverstone.

Pag dating sa reviews ng PSU, extensive sa Tom's Hardware at TechPowerUp yata yung isa. Pero dati I also read Jonny Guru pero hindi na yata rin naa-update yung site.

[ServiceStar]

thanks sa pagsagot. check ko yung mga site na yan.
ito specs ng pc ko.
Ryzen 3400G
B450 Mortar Max
8x2 16GB 3200Mhz DDR4
4 fans
2 SSD and 1 HDD
Iniisip ko na 600w or 650W ang bilhin ko incase na mag-add ako ng video card in the future. Yung mga brands na nakita ko na ok ay yung corsair cv650, cooler master, deepcool at yung silverstone. mas cheap yung silverstone.

[DonKB-PSX]

Hindi ko lang alam kung SATA o M.2 yung interface ng mga SSD mo at yung bilis (rpm) ng HDD mo, tsaka ginawa kong 120mm yung size ng apat na fan mo kaya ito nakuha ko sa PSU calculator:

Load Wattage: 157W
Recommended UPS Rating: 350 VA
Recommended PSU Wattage: 207 W

Kumuha na rin ako ng PSU recommendation at kung paano yung recommended na kabit ng PCI-E cable from PSU to video card. Depende pa yan sa modelo ng video card. Yung iba mas mababa ang kailangan na wattage kasi hindi ganoon kataas yung power limit ng video card. Hope this helps.

[ServiceStar]

ganyan din nakuha ko sa computation. it helps a lot. mababa lang pala wattage ng kailangan ng build ko. thanks bro.

[DonKB-PSX]

This would make sense if you plan on moving to a bigger (and/or faster) storage. Or maybe making a backup of your SSD / HDD, though this can take a couple of hours. So make sure you plan ahead. LOLZ!





Also, speaking of choosing a PSU...

[DonKB-PSX]

I have experienced some of these inconveniences.

Kung kailangan mo nga lang talaga ng video card na, no choice ka rin. Kukunin mo na rin agad yung available na hindi presyong scalper.

COVID19 claims another victim, Vietnamese Internet Cafe transforms into cryptocurrency mining firm
Internet Cafe switching into the mining business.

When people can’t meet at Internet Cafes due to local restrictions meant to limit the spread of a virus, (now empty) businesses are transforming into cryptocurrency mining cafes. The owner of a Vietnamese Internet Cafe has announced it is switching business to GPU mining operation. “Profits are higher”, the company has announced on Facebook.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti not for miners
According to new information, all future GeForce RTX 30 graphics cards are to feature ETH mining limiter.

A known leaker who revealed NVIDIA Ampere specifications months ahead of the initial launch has confirmed that the next installment in GeForce RTX 30 series, the RTX 3080 Ti will also feature a crypto mining limiter. According to a tweet posted by @kopite7kimi, NVIDIA will be implementing the same mining limiter that debuted with GeForce RTX 3060 for their next high-end model.

This information should not be a surprise to anyone, because NVIDIA hinted that future RTX 30 releases may have this technology built into the firmware. We already independently confirmed that NVIDIA has recently provided this update on RTX 3080 Ti to AIBs. What Kopite did not post yet is that this feature will also launch for (as it is now listed in the roadmap) GeForce RTX 3070 Ti.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is now rumored to launch with GA102 GPU with 10240 CUDA cores. From the originally planned 20GB GDDR6X 320-bit memory, NVIDIA has changed the specifications to 12GB GDDR6X 384-bit. So far there has been no update on the specs.

According to our information, NVIDIA will be focusing on RTX 3080 Ti as soon as it releases. The card is not expected to replace the RTX 3080, but the focus will be on the Ti variant. NVIDIA expects that the mining limiter will be a big factor that will ultimately discourage miners from buying this model.

NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3080 Ti is still scheduled to launch in April, but it’s worth noting NVIDIA has changed the date three times. Initially, the plan was to launch RTX 3080 20GB in December, then RTX 3080 Ti 20GB in January, but the current schedule has not changed since late January.

Yeah, I'm not getting my hopes up after the release of the vanilla RTX 3060. To quote "CJ" from, GTA San Andreas...

kapag mining, naiisip ko tuloy, data mining. o kaya anti-scalper.

For those with USB 2.0 issues with their AMD Ryzen systems.....

AMD has resolved USB issues, new AGESA incoming
On Reddit, AMD has confirmed that a new AGESA firmware that solves most of the reported USB related issues will be released in April.

Less than four weeks ago, AMD has begun collecting data from users who experienced USB related issues on AMD 500 series motherboards. Today the company announced that a fix is coming this April.

AMD 500 motherboards series have reportedly had issues with USB connectivity. Some users have reported that their USB devices would randomly disconnect or go offline completely. Other users have experienced problems with audio devices connected through USB ports, sound crackling could be heard on digital to audio converter or amplifiers. This was especially noticeable when such devices were used simultaneously with high-end graphics cards or capture cards. This led people to believe that there is a chipset bandwidth problem. A common solution was to lower the PCI Gen4 standard to Gen3 or switch USB ports from 3.0 to 2.0. This of course was not an ideal solution, especially when this bandwidth was actually really needed, but AMD has not even acknowledged the problem until February, so it was the only solution.

Today AMD finally confirmed that the root cause has been isolated, however, AMD has not revealed what was the actual reason behind all those problems in the first place.

The company announced AGESA 1.2.0.2 which will be released to motherboard makers in a week. They are expected to provide updates for their motherboards starting in April. There are many board partners who release AGESA updates much sooner, so it is likely that we will be seeing BETA firmware being downloadable already in March. Be sure to check your motherboard support pages soon.

We would like to thank the community here on r/AMD for its assistance with logs and reports as we investigated the intermittent USB connectivity you highlighted. With your help, we believe we have isolated the root cause and developed a solution that addresses a range of reported symptoms, including (but not limited to): USB port dropout, USB 2.0 audio crackling (e.g. DAC/AMP combos), and USB/PCIe Gen 4 exclusion.

AMD has prepared AGESA 1.2.0.2 to deploy this update, and we plan to distribute 1.2.0.2 to our motherboard partners for integration in about a week. Customers can expect downloadable BIOSes containing AGESA 1.2.0.2 to begin with beta updates in early April. The exact update schedule for your system will depend on the test and implementation schedule for your vendor and specific motherboard model. If you continue to experience intermittent USB connectivity issues after updating your system to AGESA 1.2.0.2, we encourage you to download the standalone AMD Bug Report Tool and open a ticket with AMD Customer Support.

Hmmm... Must be the "GPU Apocalypse".

We've officially entered the era of gaming PCs shipping without a graphics card
Prebuilt gaming desktops for people who already own a GPU.

Fierce PC, a boutique builder in the UK, has launched a line of 'No GPU' gaming desktops that ship with every part of a PC build except the most critical component for gaming, that being a graphics card. The idea is that you can install your own GPU, whether you already own one, or are lucky enough to find a standalone graphics card in stock somewhere.
Sitting comfortably?

Best chair for gaming: the top gaming chairs around
Best PC controller: sit back, relax, and get your game on

"Introducing our range of systems, ready for you to install your own graphics card. This range of systems is not supplied with a graphics card and without a graphics card will not boot up. We ask customers to keep this in mind when ordering from this range," Fierce PC states.

Fierce PC's new line of GPU-less systems (via Overclock3D) range in starting price from £560 to £900 (around $775 to $1,245 in US currency). The least expensive build is a Micro-ATX systems with an Intel Core i5 9400F processor, Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite 120 all-in-one cooler, MSI H310M Pro-VDH Plus motherboard, 8GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR4-3000 RAM, 240GB WD Green SSD, 1TB Seagate Barracuda HDD, and 600W PSU (80 Plus Bronze).

In addition to lacking a GPU, there's no operating system either—adding Windows 10 costs £90. All three baseline configurations can be customized to an extent, you just can't select a GPU with these particular builds (Fierce PC sells other system configurations with various graphics cards).

The timing of the launch is likely not a coincidence, as system builders find themselves dealing with the same GPU shortage as DIY builders. Worse yet, there is evidence to suggest the GPU shortage isn't improving anytime soon.

"Our overall capacity has not been able to keep up with that overall strong demand that we have seen," Nvidia CFO Collette Kress said in January. "We’ve seen in terms of constraints, constraints really from the overall global surge of compute and the overall capacity, capacity that may be necessary for assembly and test and/or sub trades as well. But again, we remain focused on this and working each day to improve our overall supply situation."

Looking at all the ways the world is trying to deal with the GPU shortage, selling prebuilt gaming PCs without a graphics card is akin to waving the white flag in surrender to an untenable situation.

That said, Fierce PC has not come right out and said the thin availability of GPUs is the reason for the new GPU-less desktop line. That's perhaps because the situation speaks for itself.

pang gamers lang na configuration ito a.

[DonKB-PSX]

Parang hindi na bababa pa ang presyo ng mga video card ah. . Thank God for console gaming. At least reasonable pa ang presyo sa mga totoong retailers / resellers. Ang problema lang apektado rin ng silicon shortage. Seriously, mahigit isang buwan na, wala pa rin pre-order sa next batch ng PS5.

Yung built-in GPU ng Apple's M1 Pro and Max sumasabay na sa mobile GTX 3080. Mukhang mag boom ang gaming sa Apple.
