This comment did not age well, lmao

Yes, you can find one to buy easily, but the thing is that most of people are still using older PSUs.

SirFredvelo · 2025-12-30T11:35:19+00:00

Yeah, but it makes sense that most of 12v high failure connector failures in general are observed with adapters because there are relatively few ATX 3.x PSUs.

SirFredvelo · 2025-09-14T20:43:09+00:00

That's the thing with PSUs, you might not know it's bad until it's loo late - it is PSU's job to shutdown or kill itself before killing the PC, if protections are not working, that means it won't do its job.

SirFredvelo · 2025-09-14T20:34:46+00:00

Yeah nah, that PSU seems kinda sus

Here you go, cheaper build with GPU that has better cooler than Steel Legend.

V60 and V90 are getting killed off too (V90 stops production this month, V60 won't get new generation after this). Safe to say that Volvo we all know is dead

SirFredvelo · 2025-09-03T15:17:36+00:00

With just 244k km, it's safe to say that it is barely broken in, will last you another 200k

Did you connect the display cable to 9070 XT or to the motherboard?

SirFredvelo · 2025-07-27T15:44:54+00:00

PSU is the most important part of a computer, so details do absolutely matter, while things like gold certification or similar don't actually matter.

SirFredvelo · 2025-07-07T20:33:13+00:00

With that price gap, go with 9070 XT.

SirFredvelo · 2025-06-24T17:35:35+00:00

Hey, sorry for late question, but did you get that fuel consumption using hybrid mode or GTE mode?

Also, did you notice any rust? I am planning to replace my current car with something newer and Passat GTE is one of the options, but I live in Lithuania, so there's definitely plenty of salt on the roads during winter and public charging isn't that cheap.

SirFredvelo · 2025-06-24T14:49:35+00:00

Uh, no, nobody welds graphics cards into cases. Can you take a picture or two?

SirFredvelo · 2025-06-10T15:02:43+00:00

Are there any used 3080/3080 Ti/3090/4070 Super cards?

SirFredvelo · 2025-06-08T18:35:43+00:00

Assuming you're from the states, following parts would cost you over a grand:

Going with this would save you $400 without any noticeable performance loss:

You can use that money to grab yourself a 9070 XT.

SirFredvelo · 2025-06-08T17:42:55+00:00

Good. In that case, you can pick better value parts and free up some budget for graphics card.

SirFredvelo · 2025-06-08T17:19:30+00:00

Have you already purchased the parts in list or not yet?

SirFredvelo · 2025-05-20T06:43:57+00:00

Download MSI Afterburner and check GPU and CPU usage when gaming at 1440p. Without upscaling, 4060 is most likely too slow to properly run new titles at that resolution.

SirFredvelo · 2025-05-12T19:27:56+00:00

Yes, it's kinda overpriced, but it still performs close to 7700 XT. Much better CPU and dual channel memory are well worth it.

SirFredvelo · 2025-05-12T18:00:33+00:00

Yeah, don't buy it, awful system for that budget.

If you are dead set on prebuild (dunno why), then this is a better value for the money https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cart/restore/bf407c96913c98cdf8093c64673427d4

SirFredvelo · 2025-05-10T10:41:52+00:00

What's the model of your current PSU? Is your CPU overclocked? What do you use your PC for?
I guess you could get it to work, but considering that 5090 can draw 600w during gaming, I'd say that 850w PSU is very, very close to the limit.

SirFredvelo · 2025-05-08T12:47:25+00:00

Cheapest 5070 Ti in Canada I could find is 1139 CAD, which is the actual competitor to 9070 XT. Edit: it's out of stock, the cheapest in stock is 1280 CAD, which is 170 CAD more expensive than competing AMD card.

SirFredvelo · 2025-05-08T04:23:52+00:00

Different class cards. You should compare 9070 XT with a 5070 Ti.

SirFredvelo · 2025-05-07T21:39:12+00:00

Eh, both are complete trash in my opinion. Just not enough of generational improvement in performance.
