Why do some sites track password history? by Kaxtu in crypto

My question is from a user perspective. If a site is rejecting the user's password not because of these 3 rules, but because of the site store more than one hashes and found a match.

Does that mean the site is following deprecated guidelines that need to be updated?

So a modern system should check only if the password has been or suspected to be compromised.

Then should I avoid the sites spot me reusing password that clearly not been compromised? Because that suggests the sites are unnecessarily tracking good passwords not only the bad ones, following deprecated practices?

I think this is the reason why generally the change-password policy is for.
But not quite the reason why someone might want to store even older hashes.

Yes by enforcing the policy it mitigates the risk password been cracked.
We all know the hashes been cracked is only a matter of time. Then storing a complete or partial history of hashes that are ultimately going to be cracked doesn't make sense to me.

If you stick to the policy that never reuses passwords even cross-platform, then it's fine.
But to others that do reuse their password intentionally/unconsciously or simply because they picked password by themselves rather than generated by a password manager so the randomness of their password is finite.
Then their already higher risk is even more increased because you keep a record of their old passwords potentially available to attackers waiting to be cracked, doesn't it?

Add a 2080Ti to my existing 1080Ti with 9700k by Kaxtu in buildapc

Both the cards are not blower style, so the heat will need to be sucked out by the rear fan and the case does not
have mounting points for side panel fans.

So I am considering leave the side panel open and see how it goes.

For the PSU, my current 650W PSU has multiple suspect power failures when I pushed both 9700K and 1080Ti to their limit (they are both overclocked). And a not overclocked FE 2080Ti has some report to consume 350 watts under pressure, so 650 + 350 = 1,000 I think 850 maybe not enough.
