I build PC's for people all the time. It's just a natural reaction to recommend good parts to people. Not sure why you took it as a negative.I'm not buying anything I'm just mentioning what I have.
Bit weird to just take what someone has said they own and say "Well this is better than what you have". Lol
I just noticed it has an 8 pin and a 4 pin power CPU connector, the same as the Biostar Buildzoid looked at, that must mean the 9900K uses 400 Watts......
Amusingly I can attest to the 1950X pulling 400W. But I'd be very surprised if the 3800X or 3850X do. 50% node shrink with many updates and about only a 800MHz increase in frequency doesn't equal 400W on the 16c. That it can possibly feed 600W doesn't mean it is going to be pulling it. I think Buildzoid was more than a little off the mark there.I just noticed it has an 8 pin and a 4 pin power CPU connector, the same as the Biostar Buildzoid looked at, that must mean the 9900K uses 400 Watts......
GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards, has released BIOS updates for X470 and B450 AMD motherboards. With a simple update of the BIOS, users will be able to fully harness full support for next gen. AMD Ryzen™ processors. BIOS updates for the X370 and B350 AMD motherboards will be released before the end of the month.

The Radeon VII is basically Vega without much if any changes on 7nm. It wasn't really designed for the node. I'm not really that surprised it's still bad on power...depends, vega 7 was node shrink and still eats juice and power . Classic case of once you go past their optimum defined stock/boost settings. Power eff and heat greatly increase .
though as most say, not going to be a 400w monster , unless under LN2
Again for dual CPU sockets for chips with lower power, more about its delivery then the amount .
I'm kinda screwed either way as I have a Vega64 that's happy to pull 400W and a 1950X that's also happy to pull 400W...
Radeon VII is 30% faster with 15% less power vs Vega 64, that's about a 40/45% performance per watt difference.depends, vega 7 was node shrink and still eats juice and power . Classic case of once you go past their optimum defined stock/boost settings. Power eff and heat greatly increase .

On the flip side the 1200W PSU is actually used

He's not being terribly clear with that, if he's talking about LN2 he's being about as clear as mud, if you just take him for what he said he really isn't, i think we have to assume LN2 is what he's talking about.
And you see what's happening, people are just taking it as given without even thinking about how ridiculous that would be.
Not always that simple, there's a great deal of things to accommodate for when talking about a power solution. If you watch his videos you'll find he changes his stance on a few things recently, too. When it comes to this stuff there is a lot of blind leading the blind.
His YouTube channel is called actually hardcore overclocking so I'm not sure what you're expecting, maybe a disclaimer at the start of each video.
He's talks about actually hardcore overclocking and like everything IMO it's the responsibility of the reader, listener, viewer to be aware of what they're consuming, not the other way around.
True but the reason it's the blind leading the blind is because there was bugger all information out there on the technicality's of motherboards, the power solutions, the practicalities of design choices, and the actual substance of motherboards, I'm not saying he's an expert or anything, I'm just saying that there was a gap in the 'market' (market being people wanting to know more about the subject) and whether intentionally or not, for better or worse, he's filled that void.
My edit did add what i hope is better clarification, and yes it's the responsibility of the reader, listener, viewer to be aware of what they're consuming, not the other way around, or are you saying everyone is so dumb that their incapable of critical thinking?lol, what![]()
So ignorance is better?Not sure how that's an excuse for misinforming people. If you don't fully understand something or aren't qualified, don't preach.
lol, what. So if someone is telling viewers that motherboard vendors should be using doublers, those who then go out looking for motherboards sporting a more "fitting" power solution whilst not understanding the implications of processing delay and sag should already know these things?
No, it's up to to the vlogger to use proper due diligence.
Amended my post. You cannot be serious, though. You're basically giving a greenlight for people to post misinformation and not worry about it. Which ironically is quite rife in the tech media.
Anyway, it's a non arguement. Vloggers should simply do fact checking. These things can be harmful.
Mor boards. MSI this time.
Personally very keen to see gigabytes boards because they are likely what I will go for.
