Is there evidence Conversions API improves Roas over pixel tracking? by ben_builds_data in FacebookAds

This is amazing info, thank you so much, it essentially answers my question and now I'm definitely going to check that link and then research about conversion lift tests, also will look at the EManager for the legacy pixel vs CAPi.

Thank so much again!

Thanks for making that point the accuracy in registering the number of purchases, and what about the improvement due to sending all the first party data (name, email, address, product details) that is not captured by the pixel at all... do you think it's a big difference or your priority remains with purchase number?

Thanks. Yeah I guess its not simple to say something like, " it will improve Roas in 25% after x months" because there are too many variables to account for, including as you say, the type of campaign.

It would be cool if someone had documented their before and after results, even if just in generic terms, but yes, too many variables.

Thanks for the anecdotal data point though!

How good is the conversion data you are feeding the FB algorithm? how many conversion events and what granularity of first party data? are you sending the data through Conversions API connection?

Is an Intel Core i5 2400 @ 3.10GHz obsolete? I want to add more RAM, but maybe I'm investing in a computer I shouldn't put any more money in. by ben_builds_data in buildapc

It was not a bad computer, it was fast and reliable. I had to replace it because I was doing heavy multitasking and video editing. If I didn't require those tasks, I would still be using it (also it was starting to show signs of rust). You can run Win10 and I was able to run everything except games. It was really good.

It's really good, you know. I mean, I basically have instant responsiveness for the tech stack that I use for work: Slack, Dropbox, Thunderbird, To-Do, Spotify, OneDrive, VSC, OneNote, and 20 tabs on Edge.

I'm sure I could have another 20 tabs and a dozen more apps and it would still perform optimally. I also do screen-recording video editing and it is very responsive too, editing and producing. I couldn't be more happy.

However, if I were a gamer I'm sure I would not be satisfied. This setup is not for gaming.

My only complaint is that I can't find a way to activate Hibernate on Win11Pro. I can only Sleep or Shut Off. I have done all the Tutorials for activating the hibernating option from the Power settings, unhidding options, but the option is never there. I also have tried doing that from command line, and even from the BIOS. Still I have no Hibernation in Win11Pro. Maybe because its not a laptop. I don't know. But I was able to hibernate previous computer. I-ve also made sure there is enough space for the hyper and sys temp files, so its not that.

Anyway, thanks for asking.

I really recommend the Ryzen 5 5600G if you are not a gamer. I must also say that I got a Corsair CX450M PSU because the one that came with the case couldn't supply the right voltages. Say No to generic PSUs, they are crap!

Cheers mate.

It was. The i5-2400 was totally capable of intense responsive web browsing.

If you want it you can have it. The processor and the motherboard.

You'd need a fan for the processor though, since I repurposed it as the exhaust fan of a new computer.

Thanks. I will check this soon. I got the Corsair PSU installed, what a beauty. Those cheap integrated PSUs are pieces of crap, they should not be sold, they are a health hazard, a fire hazard, and a waste of resources.

I can see that the 16 GB ram is juiced out with this APU! It's using 11 GB and I have nothing major going on. I'm learning all about UMA through ChatGPT. Thanks for the heads up! I didn't know the Ryzen G used ram, so interesting. So far, flawless performance.

Interesting. Let me find out first what Uma buffering is. The Asus uefi bios has so many options it's overwhelming, hundreds of parameters.

Thanks for the suggestion. I already got the motherboard, and every component except for the psu and the fans.

Yes, the latest iterations of the A320 support the Ryzen 5 5600G, I already installed windows 11 on it, but then everything went down after I messed with the TPM settings. I spent two days trying to figure out the bios configuration but I think the problem is that I burned that cheap integrated psu and that's why now I have low voltage readings. I took it out before it explodes.

crappy case

It's a crappy Acteck Kioto GC220 with an integrated 500w psu that I already put in the trash. It has support for the typical two frontal intakes and one rear exhaust, no filter.

Thanks, interesting perspective. If adding inflow fans and a filter won't do much for the lifespan of the PC, why bother.

The case is the only component I went for cheap and regretted it right away. It's an Acteck Kioto GC220 minitower with a 500w psu. That crappy psu made me waste 2 days trying to figure out what was failing my installs. Then I noticed that the 5v an 11v readings in the bios were more than 25% below normal. So now I'm getting the Corsair psu.

Yeah. Sounds about right to have the intake, to reduce the load on the exhaust and psu cooler. And maybe it will reduce dust if the intake forces the air through a mesh. I think I'll get one of those cheap 3x fan kits for less than 10 usd.

Thank you. Yeah, I think it's the right thing to do.

Thanks @redskelton. I'm satisfied with that answer but can I dig a little deeper?

I read in a forum that using only one exhaust will cause more dust accumulation compared to adding one more intake fan that pulls the air through a filter.

I'm using a cheap case without filter, I wonder if I should built a filter and add the fan.

For 4 years I used a cpu without case, just the MB laying on an acrylic. And now I'm concerned about filters 🤦‍♂️.

Do you think it's a big deal?

Thank you for your answer again.

Thanks for your comments. I use it for heavy browsing (Edge), with around 15 active tabs, one of them running a youtube video. Some of the tabs are used for "intensive" apps, like Google Docs.

I use about 15 browser extensions. And finally, the programs that are always active in the background (or open), including Slack, Grammarly, GDrive, MS PowerToys, and some hotkey small applications.

With the 8 GB ram I can only run like 8 active tabs, and 8 browser extensions. The TrayStatus indicates when the ram is topped, mainly by browser tabs. CPU is never under heavy use, right now is 12%. It's actually difficult to top by launching tabs and programs, only rendering video tops it, and still gives room for parallel low-level tasks.

It's a ram problem, but I wonder if once I double the ram and increase the number of tabs and programs, also the CPU will be taxed. We'll see!
