Papusan replied to Mr. Fox's topic in Desktop Hardware
He still don't grasp it. I even posted this below in the comments section in his previous live stram video.... Yet he talk mostly about 3 dimpe Astron terminals. Only a very very few cable vendors/PSU manufacturers f use 3 dimple or 4 spring NTK terminals. What you think happen if you use the cheaper 2 dimple terminals and the 12VHPWR connector start wiggle out from the pins on the GPU connector? When power connectors with two dimple terminal design start wiggle slightly out from the GPU connector (they will due heat fluctations), you risk that one or more of the pins in the GPU connector will only have contact with 1x 2 dimple (one on each side inside the terminal connector). Yep in worst case the only connection for the current will go via one wimpy dimple to the pins. The resistance in the connectors will increase and go through the roof. Poof... Fire and melting. I know for the fact that obtaining real Astron 3 dimple / 4 spring NTK terminals for the production is more difficult for the vendors/PSU manufacturers. Maybe higher costs for those is one of the resons for cheaping out. But the loosers is always the consumers. @papusan9731 1 day ago CableMod in-house terminals are 2 dimple design. Why all the talk about they using 3 dimple designed terminals? And Corsair as well use terminals with two dimple design for their 12VHPWR cables(Corsair use two different vendors). As a side note. 99% of the melted 12VHPWR connectors is with the angled adapters. Yet, the cables with straight and angled 90 degreees connectors use exactly the same in-house 2 dimple terminals. And the sales numbers is bigger for their custom 12VHPWR cables. This is confirmed by CableMod. Then do your math what's the problem. -

Yep. If you don't own your own games... Why pay huge overprice for the graphics cards? Why not just buy a cheap console for your hired games? Given these high hardware prices I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of PC gamers start considering the various game consoles. Microsoft's Xbox Series S sells for $300, the Sony PS5 Digital for $400 - less than most graphics cards. Both will give you a first-class gaming experience without shader compilation stutters and other PC port troubles. Zotac GeForce RTX 4070 AMP Airo Review techpowerup.com Compared to last generation's RTX 3070, the performance uplift is 28%—a relatively small gen-over-gen gain (RTX 4090: +61%, RTX 4080: +50%, RTX 4070 Ti: +46%). If you compare the 20% price increase with the 28% performance uplift over previous gen then you will have a measly performance gain around 8% for same amount money. Nice. How does this stands out vs the performance gain you get with 4060 and 4060Ti over its predecessors? Does this backplate looks like a shoe sole? Awful design. The sailing shoe backplate match the Zotac boat designed card as hands in gloves 🙂 -
Never seen this. But Win 11 is a hit or miss. What worked yesterday may not work tomorrow. Spare your calories and rather install Win 10 and forget Win 11 until Win 10 is EOL. There is nothing to gain with Win 11. Just more bugs because Win 11 is what Microsoft care about right now.

Not about computers. Halfway. But Ivan The terrible. Now its soon 1 year since he died an all too early death. The best, kindest and smartest dog I ever have had. And I have had a lot of them. The video is done by my oldest son from the winter time in the cold North. Forgot this one. I still miss him. And he will stay in my heart forever. Pc's and my dogs are my main hobby. They go hand in hand. Can't live without it 🙂 I have only his little friend The Little Thief now. Not as smart but a good dog. A damn good guard dog. No one should come in front of him and try reach the doors. He don't give up if someone try go into Papusans house. Small but damn he can be angry, LOOL Yep. I don't recommend any custom 12VHPWR adapters. Regardless if you bought an overpriced castrated 4060 or the overpriced 4090. Why should I advocate for fire adapters? I hate seeing people screwed. And I'm sure bro @electrosoft value my honesty 🙂 Pein -

We are moving to a feature "you own nothing"...... The future looks damn dark bro @Ashtrix @Mr. Fox ++++. Maybe you in the future only own yourself. And nothing more. Please see the whole video. Thanks. In short... You only hire the games. You don't own them. So why does some of the gamers say they own this and this game? Are they damn stupid? They own nothing bro @Mr. Fox Only the air they breathe in. Steam forcing updates to Win 10/11 to play games - do you actually "own" games bought through Steam? -

Someone that remember AMDs Chief Architect of Gaming Solutions.... The salesman, the liar Mr. Azor said they rather go for power efficiency and lower thermals than going after max performance/performance crown? It seems AMD failed hard with power efficiency, thermals and the prices. Just another overpriced graphics cards that bring low value. Even for your electricity bill, LOOL Extensive test reveals AMD’s Radeon RX 7900 XTX draws 150 W more on average compared to the Nvidia RTX 4080 The coming 16GB 4060Ti is so damn good and offer so much value for the gamers that nvidia didn't bother make a bigg fuzz about it😁 GEFORCE RTX 4060 TI 16GB Nvidia doesn't feel like testing the VRAM stick The graphics card that Nvidia never wanted to bring to the market Btw. Gigabyte have no trust in any 12VHPWR adapters. Gigabut only trust ATX 3.0 PSUs with native 16 pin PCIe power connectors bro @Mr. Fox🤣 Gigabytes stand on third party cables and adapters? -

There is almost none options for gaming in 1440p. Nice. The 4070 is an option but not really. All too expensive. The crypto race destroyed last time. Now its due Nvidia and AMD themself. Todays word haas to be GREED. -

The article state... sooner than we expected. This won't happen anything soon. It may come but not on this side of 2027/30. Too much money involved in thepc tech industry (kill desktops will kill the HW industri). We will see more jokebooks being replaced with the cloud. But not desktops the way we see it now. -

From the article.... You forgot the most important part.... Take all of this, and especially that nugget on pricing, with a whole heap of salt. When you waste your time on nothing. But you get your salary. Probably that's what count for AMDs driver team. I wonder how they was able to measure lower power consumption. AMD ADRENALINE 23.7.1 UPDATES Driver to reduce desktop power consumption on RX 7000 Update 07/10/2023 ComputerBase measured Adrenalin 23.7.1 on a Radeon RX 7900 XTX and did not notice any changes in power consumption behavior on the Windows desktop at 144 Hz in Ultra HD. With the new driver, the graphics card needs just as much energy in every application scenario as with older drivers. -

Nice to see you jaybee. Too much works with kids? Just kidding. Enjoy the time 🙂 They grow damn fast. Hope you didn't buy these, HaHa https://www.tomshardware.com/news/fake-samsung-ssds-found-at-etailer-then-benchmarked How Did Nvidia Do This? GeForce RTX 4060 Ti vs. RTX 3060 Ti What We Learned Those comparison graphs vividly illustrate just how incredibly disappointing the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is. This generation has turned out to be a shocker, especially considering the initial promise shown by the RTX 4090. Imagine if we had suggested back in October last year, after reviewing the RTX 4090, that the 4060 Ti would cost as much as the 3060 Ti, but end up slower in a number of games. You'd have thought it a joke. Yet here we are: it is, on average, only 5% faster across 50 games. Despite the stark reality, it feels like there must be some mistake. However, this is the reality for gamers, and we don't foresee any meaningful changes soon. 3# in a row.... How many 4090 graphics cards need to be replaced with 3 burning dow each day in a whol year bro @ryan? 🤑 Then do the math... Most affected is the Strix cards so around 2000$ for each card😁 4090 burned power cable Another melted adapter. This time it's me ! Melted 180° adapter Fool me once, shame on you.............. After being tricked once, one should learn from one's mistakes and avoid being tricked in the same way again. Is this the worst from both worlds? CM adaper paired with the nvidia pigtail connected to your PSUs 8-pin connectors. What an awful cable combo. Edit. Here is the 4th. Also he never learned..... DO NOT USE CABLE MOD ADAPTORS its not worth it -

Now you may see why some of us use PC's with different OS depending on what you want to gain. I have sixtuple OS and will with the time add in one or two more for testing/benching. Gone is the days with one OS fits everything. Here for some of you that have the chance and want to see the Northern lights. This is not bling bling bro @electrosoft It's real and its pretty.

Not everyone test different OS builds and compare them and test with different tweaks and drivers. They just want the new and shiny. Because new has to be better @Rage Set Build a gaming box for cheap. Just add in your dear toy-doll and some color lights/led strips😆 Better known as bling bling. -

Yep. Why change if there is no problems. So in short.... CableMods adapters will be changed with new adapters in rev 2. CableMods custom cables will be in the store/retail shops. Can't be more clear than this. CableMod know very well that there is something wrong with their angled adapters they have sold. But you or me will never ever be told why those angled adapters failed. That would damage their reputation even more. Just a honest question 🙂 But will I get a honest answer back?🤔 Constructed differently. Yep, that can also be a somewhat answer for failed products. Edit. Yep. Now I have the info and how the patended connector (preview) looks like. But I promised not to share it. Have tested Revios custom OS before. Wasn't happy with the performance. As with all custom OS. Its a hit or a miss. Mostly a miss. And often with lower performance than your own tweaked OS. -

Nice. Almost without a notice.... The buyers had to find it out by themself. CableMod trashed remaining stocks of their angled 90/180 degrees adapters. And those that bought first gen melting adapters will now have the chance to buy gen 2. I will continue avoid any types of adapters. Last time it took 4-5 months before the melt HELL started. How long will it takes this time? Hmmmmm 12VHPWR Angled Adapters Pulled from CableMod Global & EU Store, Plus Amazon US -

And it will be worse. The twin with 16GB vram for $100 more will be even a worse purchase. How big chance you think that Nvidia will reduce MSRP at launch for 4060Ti@16GB cards? Or is the $499 MSRP put in stone? Why I ask.... "Very Few Are Interested" in RTX 4060 Ti 16GB GPUs, Nvidia AIB Sources Reportedly Say If nvidia was smart from the beginning... Only released 4060Ti with 16GB vram for $429. Still more expensive than prev gen but they could at least have avoided the massive complaints about 8GB vram. And the price hike would only come from inflation. Not greed. With the review of the coming 16GB variant... Nvidia will get shitstorm Nr2 for same Sku. Not the best if you want sell loads of these 4060Ti cards. -

Forgot this one. Corsairs engineers did the same also for their RMe series (2023) Gen5 PSU models. ATX 3.0 and PCIe 5.0 compliance come with the much better choice as the 2x8-pin to 12VHPWR power cable.

Who in their right mind would pay 4070 prices for 4060@16GB cards from Asus? Is it something wrong with me, or is there some very very stupid people out there willing to pay Asus near or close to +600$ for a crippled low tier graphics card? More vram won't fix the castrated mem bus on the 4060 series cards. And the 4070 is well overpriced as it is. ASUS’s ROG STRIX Variant of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB GPU Costs Over $600 US, More Expensive Than 4070 And I would be crazy if I throw out 890$ + shipping on a new Cpu that will be replaced by 14900K within 4 months.

Yep, I smelled this once I saw their release of their new PSUs one month ago. I in short said they was on the way digging their own grave.... Yep, I was spot on bro @Rage Set And if you have followed my older posts a few months ago I was very clear that EVGA went their own ways.... And nope. I won't replace my trashy Z690 Apex board with one from EVGA. It's what it is but better with minimum support than almost no support or no support at all within a few months forwards. On top I save my hard earned money. BUY new MB from a manufacturer near the death is just dumb. EVGA... -

Proof in the pudding. Stilll have any trust in CableMod bro @Mr. Fox? New CableMod Basics 90 degree cables available on Amazon US! And yet, its the adapters that burn up.

Nice with white theme. This yellow brownish color looks more like first gen Dell Alienware Lunar white after 4 weeks use, LOOL And with real melting, you can see that CableMod didn't follow Intel and PCI-SIGs recommanded terminal design. They prefer go the wrong way. Probably to cut costs/easier to get because all other avoid them. Everyone have warned about the Dimple terminal design since end of 2022. Suffered the fate of the burning 180 degree adapter And the competitor to CM use real terminals. Not many have posted melted MODDIY cables. All MODDIY cables and adapters are using top-quality high-current 4-String terminals as recommended by Intel. -

From Aris on Hardware Buster. He is spot on. Exactly what I have said the whole time. Stupid have the flimsy 12VHPWR connector on the PSU panel (ATX 3.0 models). Not only due the change of new revised connector but having this small fragile Power connector on the PSU you also have the same bendgate mess as for the GPU connection. + they have a very bad locking mechanism. (He evnen adviced the PSU manufacturer to use old fashion 8-pins on the PSU side for the 12VHPWR cable). See and learn from 1:29 Very pleasant to see him come to same conclusion as me 🙂 New has to be better bro @Rage Set😉 This looks fun. But will probably be watered down to nothing. Same also against Nvidia. For the records... I have posted this before. CableMod don't use the terminals they bragged about in Igorslab review of their angled adapters. They have changed and use cheapo home-cooked junk. From what I have read, CM have swapped to 2 dimple design. And 3 dimple design wasn't good enough for Intel. They wanted 4 spring design. Go figure what CM have done. Class action time. Please message me if you had a cablemod melted adapter that broke your GPU.
