1. Consoles use the same component manufacturers and general designs as PC's, so there is nothing that can make a PC have less quality than a console. 2. You can build a console-level PC for the same cost as a console with a ryzen 3 2200g and 8gb ram from teamgroup and a cheap b350. wait did i just call pc components cheap and contradict myself
Data recovery isn’t possible with an SSD that has had every bit overwritten with a 0 because it doesn’t hold a magnetic charge but rather a switched state. The previous switched state remains unknown. However if you have magnetic media (spinning disk) even a low level format doesn’t guarantee data can’t be recovered. However random writes over every sector with random charges in alternating patterns can still make it pretty impossible to recover the data but this requires special tools and will impact the life span of the disk sometimes dramatically. So don’t destroy your SSD drives, just write 0’s to every sector and sell away 👍🏻 Hope this was helpful 🙏
When you run the command prompt as administrator and use the built in windows cypher command it works well for both SSDs and traditional hard drives to write over everything. Its slow, but its easy to write over everything multiple times. Its excessive for an SSD, but if I'm selling a drive I want to be absolutely sure nobody can get any of my personal or financial information.
@@abedfo88 i have found if you add data to the hard drive n question ,the data you can pull up with those programs decreases i filled up a 3 terabyte with the same video over and over again twice and could longer retrieve the original data much to my chagrin as i accidentally dropped the hard drive transferred all the original data to.
As most SSD have write balancing in the firmware just writing 0's to it will not properly erase data since it might not write to the whole SSD. Thats why most SSD's support the ATA secure erase command instead. Unless stated by the drive erase tool that it uses this function it should not be used to erase SSD's if data sanitation is the goal.
A $1,500 computer today will last about as long as a $700 computer. In 7 years the technology will have advanced so far that you basically need to replace every component to play new games or install Firefox.
@@markm0000 Maybe today with both Intel and AMD trading blows, time will tell.

Spending a bunch back then netted you a bunch in the long run.

@@markm0000 Completely false. Even the 2600k from 2011 is still relevant today and can still be used to max out settings in games as long as your GPU is up to the task. Your PSU? Unless it dies, it's going to run just fine for 10+ years and still do the same thing it did the day you bought it. Ultimately, the evolution of PCs is at its slowest point ever, there are no massive gains anymore unless they do a massive technology change, which already hasn't happened in 8 years so I don't see it massively changing for another few. Until developers for any piece of software ever get the hell off their ass and actually make use of all these cores we are starting to get, CPUs really won't have much of a change for a long time coming.
Important note on SSDs : always try to get twice the capacity that you need! I saw extended tests about it. And to roughly sum it up, an 90% loaded SSD will "deteriorate" at least twice faster than an half loaded one. It is due to the constant effort a heavily loaded has to do in order to constantly rearrange files.
Dunno how old my 6350 is but its older than 4 and have been set to 4.5ghz since I bought it... Still doing good but I should prolly get a new one soon. What saves lifespan is taking good care of its temperature, my 6350 survived through a Noctua cooler, an H60, and now a Cryorig somethingsomething.
I did once have a CPU that started to die...it was a Core 2 Duo E4300 (stock clock 1.8GHz) which I'd run at 2.7GHz for years. Then it suddenly went unstable and I had to drop back to 2.4GHz. Within a couple of weeks I'd had to clock it right back to stock. Don't know if the degradation would have continued because I replaced the CPU and motherboard at that point.
@@d2factotum The thing with that is it could equally have been the motherboard capacitors wearing out so unable to supply a stable voltage, unless you tried on another board. In my 25 years or so of building PCs, its ALWAYS been the motherboards that die, not the CPU.

@@Trainmaster909 They are still 14nm. There is no die shrink. The gains will be small, I doubt it will be enough to make any real difference. Sure, maybe a 2% fps difference, but then you also have Zen 3 coming, and if we're conservative it might give us +5% gain, but since it's a new architecture, I wouldn't be surprised if we have another 15%. If that happens, Intel loses out the gate.
That's actually untrue, the University of Harvard Berkeley conducted a 2 year PC user test on RGB performance. There were 10 PC's being tested, 5 with RGB and 5 without. The results have actually shown that the PC's with RGB actually performed up to 20% across the board, testing performance and overall system quality after 2 years.
Truth: too much RGB will reduce performance. Nvidia GPUs have limit for total board power, so blazing bright colors on thicc RGB will draw a few watts that could have been used for GPU core. There is a meme SSD from a respectable manufacturer that draws like 5W on the RGB. The SSD overheats and throttles to oblivion.
The reason pc parts fail or “die” when you just turn it on is based in physics. It’s the same as when a lightbulb (non led) blows up when you turn it up. The power going through it is too high right when you turn it on, and as the lightbulb (pc parts) heat up a bit, the resistance rises making it safer. Hope this helps!

@@emiliamercier4452 it's pretty rare that you would NEED to overclock on a new system, yes later in the computers lifetime you may need to but not initially. Games are quite behind the curve of technology, they are still trying to get the hang of using multiple core properly.
@@chad8767 Games now can use upto 8 Cores already (see:MSFS2020). And yes, games officially benefit out of OCing, cuz most games usually like a higher clock speed (assuming that you don't have a CPU with severely bad IPC, like the FX, which is not comparable even at 8GHz). So basically overclocking a CPU can give you a nice boost in Gaming performance (higher FPS).

You want to talk about cheap, we had a land line that used the 2' tall green boxes from the 70's. I'd say that about 2000 or so a guy in a Nova ran over the box, it was smashed into the earth almost flat. The technician came out a couple days later and bent it into slightly a box again and half made a teepee out of it over the guts. It stayed that way for 15 or so more years... I guess the 2 customers never complained.
That stems from a misunderstanding of a fact. The human eye needs to see images displayed at 24FPS in order to stop perceiving them as still images in sequence and start perceiving them as fluid motion. Anything higher than 24FPs is fine, we just need *at least* that in order for it to look like motion and not a slide show.
I think most people don't believe that anymore. I think what it boils down to is what looks better to a specific person. I think video looks better at 24 fps, especially if that is what the director wanted it to look like. And to me I don't like the way video games look above 60 fps. The reaction time might be better but it just doesn't look right to me. And I am not good enough at video games for reaction time to matter lol. I am way more concerned with fps matching the refresh rate. I cannot stand screen tear.
As a industrial electrician the initial draw on most components at the time of energizing is slightly higher before setteling into normal standard draw/ operation. So over time components are a lot like engines as that most of the wear and tear so to say happens at start up when nothing major wrong happens during normal operation like extreme heat. I hope no ones CPU/GPU is making any weird knocking sounds lol. Cheers!

True, I built my first custom PC build, costing just over £1000 ($1200), it was annoying and I was afraid of getting something wrong, my last 2 rebuilds have been done by a professional
Hdds are a pain in the ass at work. In the last 3 months we have had 5 hard drives die from the computer being kicked under the desk and old people being old they don't back up their data on our Network drives
Change the default directory of the desktop/documents/etc folders to their network drive folder. Problem solved and nobody noticed a difference. Can be done with group policy or registry editing or the hard way through the explorer settings menu.
I remember when looking at getting a certain cpu I would look at what chipset had the best performance to the cpu. This was back when you had different manufactures for the north and south bridge chipsets.
My school made us a computer module (basically a book). It, of course, includes the "RAM makes your PC run faster." bs. There was so much wrong with it that I actually had to correct the book and teacher. It's just really worrying that one of the highly respected schools in our city had so much misinformation that are being taught to students
Adding more ram to you PC can improve multitasking performance allowing you to run more programs simultaneously without penalty. Some media programs like adobe after effects can get ram hungry. Also Some games require more ram then others and more ram allows you to load more mods into the game. And I don't even have to get into the performance benefits from adding more ram to a server. As jayz said, it's a half truth and really depends on the scenario.
Components don't die when turned on, they die when turned off. The reason is the temperature drop. When hot, things expand, when cool, they contract. It is during contraction that microfractures appear in tiny components. If these become large enough, the component will fail. You will see the result of this when you next turn it on, such as a light bulb giving one last flash before death, but really, the damage occurred because it was hot and then cooled (turned off).
@@MarshallSambell mine is not an extreme overclocked. It's just old its from 2013 and has an I3 with a 1.70 gh. cpu so Its out dated and half of the hardware came from other Laptops I have parted out to keep it going. so if I turn it off it take 1 hour to get it to reboot.
A personal statement to overclocking "damage": I had an MSI GPU and did a litttle overclocking (without changing the voltage) with MSI Afterburner on an overclocking friendly Motherboard from ASUS. After that, the motherboard (as far as i could localize the sound) did some annoying coil whining, even after reset the GPU to normal clock. But it stopped after i changed the GPU. So i prefer to not start overclocking before i start to think about changing my components to better ones.
7:36 What did you describe here is the hibernation file (hiberfil.sys on Windows), not a page file. Page file serves a different purpose, operating systems with support for virtual memory can offload some portions (pages) of that memory, if the underlying physical memory (the assortment of RAM modules themselves) becomes full and no further allocation of memory is possible. Also, that snapshot file is used only during hibernating (ACPI state S4), as in regular sleep mode (ACPI states S1, S2, S3), the memory contents are still kept in RAM and the RAM modules are still under powered on.
So more RAM _can_ make a slight difference. Modern OS's are good about utilizing all of the RAM in your machine for things like "somewhat intelligent caching" of frequently used files. This is particularly true of Linux boxes, but it only tends to speed up disk access to frequently utilized files.
2:20 That kind of thinking is what killed the OG video game console, the Magnavox Odyssey. It was (falsely) believed by many consumers that the console would only work, or work best, with a Magnavox television. Untrue. It worked with any TV that had an RF connector. That's a Coax cable. The thing you had before AV cables (the Red, White, and Yellow ones). It also had a high price attached to it. $99.95 in 1975. That's the rough equal to about $600 today.

No matter what AMD claims - their "modules" still just contain a single core, the only thing that it has 2 is the ALU. Fetch, decode, branchprediction, fpu, caches - everything just once.
That's something that dates back a long way. back in the Pentium days that's all we had to measure things by, how many Hz does it have? A lot of people never grew out of that mentality when we started getting multiple cores. I still struggle with it. That's the thing about Pc building, you need to be learning constantly.
Oh... that's right! There is no more "Seti-@ home". However, one can do protien crunching for the effort to beat cancer or other human malady. Leave it on... especially in wintery zones/months. The only thing that ages much at all with heat will be old electrolytic capacitors, which have been mostly phased out. Even that takes years though.
Still running a Phenom 24/7 since almost a decade back now. It has gone from being on due to laziness to being a thing that must be on. Naturally it sits in a corner with only power and a network cable doing GPU mining non-stop thanks to the 4 PCI-e ports.
If you run shred (in a linux terminal) against a harddrive it will override the old files repeatedly. When used correctly beyond recovery. It does however shorten the remaining lifespan.
I am supriced he does not know to do a proper hard drive wipe... No need to destroy magnetic hard drives as 30 over writes with random data will make sure no one will ever be able to read the old data. SSD on the other hand is a completerly different matter...
This is incorrect. If money is no object then the chopping machine is still the only 100 sure method. If you are not breaking law's, spy, mafia accountant, ect then it's definitely excessive to use the option. Government agencies have methods of retrieving data currently not available to the private sector.
8:40 Most failures i see, its after Standby, Hibernate. A nice and clear reboot, isnt that bad. What first dies, is the PSU. I bet, its cheaper to get a new one, that to pay thousands of kW Hours ..
My experience is mostly the mainboard and graphics cards fail when rebooting. But I must admit that was mostly in that weird time when the Chinese capacitors used a stolen Japanese formula that just was no good.
I leave my PC on for weeks and sometimes months. No pagefile, no hibernation, no overclocking. Nothing has ever died on me. On the other hand, the few times I shut it down or reboot it, it's time to cross fingers and start praying.
@@MuEnViFitness Yeah so AMD announced something called "Rage mode" with is just their fancy way saying that they have enabled smart memory acces or SAM.

Funny story about myth turning on/off vs leaving it on. When I worked IT for New York State, we had some NT4 servers that had to be moved. These servers had been running non-stop for 7 years with no issues. Afterwards, we tried to restart them and they wouldn't turn on and run.
The reason electronic components fail most often during power up is due to the fact that your components draw their peak amperage during power up. As these components wear they do one of 2 things, fail to appropriately draw the correct amperage or wattage or have amperage/wattage tolerance reduced below the designed draw. The types of component failures and degradation can run for months if they are already powered, but will fail open the moment you try to power cycle them.
on another note.... i upgraded my old build after mobo went bad. kept the GPU (1070ftw) went from a 6yr old board/cpu/ram (1800 ddr3 ram) and went to ryzen 2600 with 3200 ddr4 ram boosted my GPU by about 50 frames on some games.. dont always need a new build.. just replace mobo/ram/cpu cos if urs is old like mine was it might unlock more potential in ur GPU
I hate turning on a PC. It really is the moment that failing parts will just straight up stop working. There have been at least half a dozen instances in my 20+ years of building and using PCs where the Power On moment is what caused something to fail (IIRC it was HDD, PSU, GPU, mobo, another PSU, then USB drive). Your mileage may vary but for me I now get anxiety when I have to power off and then power on my PC.
This is not myth: Stickers on your laptop make you a better hacker, if you laptop is not black it is an apple, you can make your computer go faster by throwing it.
7:48 Myth: Set your pagefile to two times the size of your RAM So someone with 128GB should have a 256GB pagefile? ;) Set yourself a target amount and make the physical and virtual memory add up to that. If you've got enough physical RAM in there, feel free to disable the pagefile, unless you run crappy Adobe software that doesn't like having none.
is there really a good point in disabling pagefile? think startup works poorly after limiting pagefile to an external disk, maybe computer needs to be booted to read that disk properly, but it says it created a temporary one
IF you do DOD wipe on your hard drive I dont see how they could get your data. Its been a while, but I believe the random 1 and 0's were written over the your own data 7 times.
2:18 has to be changed to same statement with a *! Since Ryzen 5000 series and Radeon 6000 series has Smart Access Memory, so in a few cases such as pairing Radeon RX 6900XT and AMD Ryzen R9 5950X will actually give you better performance than if you changed either part out with a competitor.
I would like to see the formula that says that the water cooler creates more heat. It dissipates heat from the wattage of the CPU. An air cooled system is less effective than the water cooled, so more energy is needed to lower the cpu temperature. Also more heat is stored and released over time in a water cooled system as it usually has more mass, that in turn helps it being more efficient as it can release stored heat when the cpu isn't working up additional heat. Another benefit from this is also less heat spikes. So conservation of energy is the answer.

I've heard that a lot of coolers these days come with pretty decent paste. Like, proper quality stuff. But then people scrape it on and slather their maybe-not-as-good stuff all over it and make it worse.
According to the Verge, using multiple layers of different manufacturer's paste is your best bet for CPU cooling (always remember to apply liberally using the "icing a cake" method).

The thing is, it can be bad. I have witnessed it first hand. (I think this only applies to HDDS) Every hard disk drive has an estimated uptime life. I think it is like 3 years total, if you left your PC on for 3 years, your hard drive will most likely fail, as I have seen with one of my computers.
Well cooler electronics have a lower resistance, so in principle they should need less power to run. Effects like power leakage are also higher at higher temperatures. So a cooler PC should certainly in principle use less power and thus be cooler. However in practice it just means that the part turbo's more because it's cooler.
@@Mandragara In silicon semiconductors the junction forward voltage drops 2,5mV at every °C increase in temperature. That means a dioda @ room temperature drops 0,6V (nominal), but @125 °C it's just 0,35V. If your circuit draws 1 Amper trough that dioda the 0,6W loss is reduced to 0,35W due to the high temperature.

You should consider adding a 10 Gbps Ethernet connection via add-in card to download the round-uppable RAM module and CPU infinity brick. Always attempt to obtain an integer-based system. The CPU can get indecisive around the 5.5 and 6.5 cores mark.

Remain kind and you won't have to invest in the high end Ethernet card.

"only killed one chip ever. thats an old amd fx cpu."
watching this video on a 4 year old, overclocked 8350.
Sweating Intensifies.
Same haha
Dunno how old my 6350 is but its older than 4 and have been set to 4.5ghz since I bought it... Still doing good but I should prolly get a new one soon.
What saves lifespan is taking good care of its temperature, my 6350 survived through a Noctua cooler, an H60, and now a Cryorig somethingsomething.
I did once have a CPU that started to die...it was a Core 2 Duo E4300 (stock clock 1.8GHz) which I'd run at 2.7GHz for years. Then it suddenly went unstable and I had to drop back to 2.4GHz. Within a couple of weeks I'd had to clock it right back to stock. Don't know if the degradation would have continued because I replaced the CPU and motherboard at that point.
@@d2factotum The thing with that is it could equally have been the motherboard capacitors wearing out so unable to supply a stable voltage, unless you tried on another board.
In my 25 years or so of building PCs, its ALWAYS been the motherboards that die, not the CPU.
You should really upgrade, it performs about the same in games when overclocked as an older Pentium does. th-cam.com/video/LTIra6waYKE/w-d-xo.html

Myth: RGB does not enhance performance.
That's actually untrue, the University of Harvard Berkeley conducted a 2 year PC user test on RGB performance. There were 10 PC's being tested, 5 with RGB and 5 without. The results have actually shown that the PC's with RGB actually performed up to 20% across the board, testing performance and overall system quality after 2 years.
false, cars with flame stickers also go faster :D
benis wow! This is groundbreaking research has compelled me to to agree with my initial belief that RGB enchanted performance
"Enchanted" performance? I need to get me some of that.
Truth: too much RGB will reduce performance. Nvidia GPUs have limit for total board power, so blazing bright colors on thicc RGB will draw a few watts that could have been used for GPU core.
There is a meme SSD from a respectable manufacturer that draws like 5W on the RGB. The SSD overheats and throttles to oblivion.
The reason pc parts fail or “die” when you just turn it on is based in physics. It’s the same as when a lightbulb (non led) blows up when you turn it up. The power going through it is too high right when you turn it on, and as the lightbulb (pc parts) heat up a bit, the resistance rises making it safer.
Hope this helps!
"After 8 years your computer is no longer relevant"
uh...my last PC lasted that long and handled most new games, not AAA titles, but pretty much everything I wanted to play.
then you obviously aren't playing games that need overclocking, therefore making the initial argument pointless
@@emiliamercier4452 it's pretty rare that you would NEED to overclock on a new system, yes later in the computers lifetime you may need to but not initially. Games are quite behind the curve of technology, they are still trying to get the hang of using multiple core properly.
Then it clearly wasn't a cheaper system you dingus, big wooooooosh
@@chad8767 Games now can use upto 8 Cores already (see:MSFS2020).
And yes, games officially benefit out of OCing, cuz most games usually like a higher clock speed (assuming that you don't have a CPU with severely bad IPC, like the FX, which is not comparable even at 8GHz). So basically overclocking a CPU can give you a nice boost in Gaming performance (higher FPS).
Well an overclocked gtx680 can handle most games on 1080p 60fps at at least medium settings. I mean ok, the gpu vents make the sound of a jet aircraft but it stays under 80°C 😂
PC Myth: Windows Defender is bad, always use third party software
Defender runs in the background and is known to cause performance inconsistencies when gaming. As an antivirus, it is pretty good.
I don't know, I am still using Kaspersky.
@@Shahzad-Khan so does most if not all antivirus or their real name as malware because that is how they actually function. Still though windows defender is very well made and protects most uneducated monkeys from causing damage at its standard settings. If you are really worried you can bump it up however its really only as safe as the user..which is why Linux can be the most safe and then the least safe OS to exist currently because it's really all down to the user in control. windows and mac os while better normally have the same faults its as good as its users. Once the user basically accepts anything random or was trustworthy or whatever well that makes it all pointless.
@@Shahzad-Khan Doesn't seem to slow mine down any. What does cause lag when I online game is the fact that my internet provider sucks donkey dong and won't replace any landlines in my area that have been around for 50+ years been broken in 3 dozen spots spliced back together and struck by lightning a dozen times over those years the last was just 2 weeks ago. I would not be surprised if some of it is held together with duct tape at this point, they are some seriously cheap bastards.
@@02091992able Try running Cinebench and you will get a score change. Just like with the Nvidia control panel and the AMD control panel. Not that Cinebench is a good benchmarking tool, just saying...
You want to talk about cheap, we had a land line that used the 2' tall green boxes from the 70's. I'd say that about 2000 or so a guy in a Nova ran over the box, it was smashed into the earth almost flat. The technician came out a couple days later and bent it into slightly a box again and half made a teepee out of it over the guts. It stayed that way for 15 or so more years... I guess the 2 customers never complained.
"your eyes can only see 24 fps!!"
That stems from a misunderstanding of a fact.
The human eye needs to see images displayed at 24FPS in order to stop perceiving them as still images in sequence and start perceiving them as fluid motion. Anything higher than 24FPs is fine, we just need *at least* that in order for it to look like motion and not a slide show.
If you can't see a difference between 30 fps and 60 fps you should see an optometrist
+ you dont need 5.1 or more for 2 ears....:D
I think most people don't believe that anymore. I think what it boils down to is what looks better to a specific person. I think video looks better at 24 fps, especially if that is what the director wanted it to look like. And to me I don't like the way video games look above 60 fps. The reaction time might be better but it just doesn't look right to me. And I am not good enough at video games for reaction time to matter lol. I am way more concerned with fps matching the refresh rate. I cannot stand screen tear.

As a industrial electrician the initial draw on most components at the time of energizing is slightly higher before setteling into normal standard draw/ operation. So over time components are a lot like engines as that most of the wear and tear so to say happens at start up when nothing major wrong happens during normal operation like extreme heat. I hope no ones CPU/GPU is making any weird knocking sounds lol. Cheers!

My school made us a computer module (basically a book). It, of course, includes the "RAM makes your PC run faster." bs. There was so much wrong with it that I actually had to correct the book and teacher.
It's just really worrying that one of the highly respected schools in our city had so much misinformation that are being taught to students
Adding more ram to you PC can improve multitasking performance allowing you to run more programs simultaneously without penalty. Some media programs like adobe after effects can get ram hungry. Also Some games require more ram then others and more ram allows you to load more mods into the game. And I don't even have to get into the performance benefits from adding more ram to a server.
As jayz said, it's a half truth and really depends on the scenario.
Not gonna lie, i love that backdrop, with the camera, plant and timber etc.
Components don't die when turned on, they die when turned off. The reason is the temperature drop. When hot, things expand, when cool, they contract. It is during contraction that microfractures appear in tiny components. If these become large enough, the component will fail. You will see the result of this when you next turn it on, such as a light bulb giving one last flash before death, but really, the damage occurred because it was hot and then cooled (turned off).
Myth: Leaving your PC on all night is bad for the hardware.

A personal statement to overclocking "damage": I had an MSI GPU and did a litttle overclocking (without changing the voltage) with MSI Afterburner on an overclocking friendly Motherboard from ASUS. After that, the motherboard (as far as i could localize the sound) did some annoying coil whining, even after reset the GPU to normal clock. But it stopped after i changed the GPU.
So i prefer to not start overclocking before i start to think about changing my components to better ones.

7:36 What did you describe here is the hibernation file (hiberfil.sys on Windows), not a page file. Page file serves a different purpose, operating systems with support for virtual memory can offload some portions (pages) of that memory, if the underlying physical memory (the assortment of RAM modules themselves) becomes full and no further allocation of memory is possible. Also, that snapshot file is used only during hibernating (ACPI state S4), as in regular sleep mode (ACPI states S1, S2, S3), the memory contents are still kept in RAM and the RAM modules are still under powered on.
1:40
Actually my room does get faster, it even ran a away from me and I can’t keep up with it 😐
So more RAM _can_ make a slight difference. Modern OS's are good about utilizing all of the RAM in your machine for things like "somewhat intelligent caching" of frequently used files. This is particularly true of Linux boxes, but it only tends to speed up disk access to frequently utilized files.

The thing you had before AV cables (the Red, White, and Yellow ones). It also had a high price attached to it. $99.95 in 1975. That's the rough equal to about $600 today.

The whole bit about AMD CPUs/GPUs working better together may need to be revisited.

That's something that dates back a long way. back in the Pentium days that's all we had to measure things by, how many Hz does it have? A lot of people never grew out of that mentality when we started getting multiple cores. I still struggle with it.

Myth to debunk: Linus (from LTT) knows what he is doing.
Linus has already done that himself several times. ;) #Failed RAID array
Linus is an annoying little drama queen. The geek stereotype brought to life.
The reason electronic components fail most often during power up is due to the fact that your components draw their peak amperage during power up. As these components wear they do one of 2 things, fail to appropriately draw the correct amperage or wattage or have amperage/wattage tolerance reduced below the designed draw. The types of component failures and degradation can run for months if they are already powered, but will fail open the moment you try to power cycle them.
on another note....
i upgraded my old build after mobo went bad. kept the GPU (1070ftw)
went from a 6yr old board/cpu/ram (1800 ddr3 ram)
and went to ryzen 2600 with 3200 ddr4 ram boosted my GPU by about 50 frames on some games.. dont always need a new build.. just replace mobo/ram/cpu cos if urs is old like mine was it might unlock more potential in ur GPU
My overclocked PC lasted 2 years before I had to replace it. My old PC that I've never overclocked has been running non-stop for 12 years now.
The amd myth that it works better with Radeon graphics is now true in 2020😂😂😂
I hate turning on a PC. It really is the moment that failing parts will just straight up stop working. There have been at least half a dozen instances in my 20+ years of building and using PCs where the Power On moment is what caused something to fail (IIRC it was HDD, PSU, GPU, mobo, another PSU, then USB drive). Your mileage may vary but for me I now get anxiety when I have to power off and then power on my PC.

Set yourself a target amount and make the physical and virtual memory add up to that. If you've got enough physical RAM in there, feel free to disable the pagefile, unless you run crappy Adobe software that doesn't like having none.
is there really a good point in disabling pagefile?
think startup works poorly after limiting pagefile to an external disk, maybe computer needs to be booted to read that disk properly, but it says it created a temporary one

I would like to see the formula that says that the water cooler creates more heat. It dissipates heat from the wattage of the CPU. An air cooled system is less effective than the water cooled, so more energy is needed to lower the cpu temperature. Also more heat is stored and released over time in a water cooled system as it usually has more mass, that in turn helps it being more efficient as it can release stored heat when the cpu isn't working up additional heat. Another benefit from this is also less heat spikes. So conservation of energy is the answer.

@@santyclause8034 XDD same happened to me when i tried raiding on LEGION expansion !!!
I pulled the air cooler off my 8370 Bulldozer cpu and replaced it with the hotdog cooker I had strapped to the exhaust on my snow machine. 😁

I'm immensely disappointed that water cooling doesn't break the laws of thermodynamics.
Quickshot Gaming ikr who knows maybe someday we might be able to transfer the heat into solid matter like they do with photons
Well cooler electronics have a lower resistance, so in principle they should need less power to run. Effects like power leakage are also higher at higher temperatures. So a cooler PC should certainly in principle use less power and thus be cooler.
However in practice it just means that the part turbo's more because it's cooler.
@@Mandragara In metallic parts this might be true. But in semiconductors it may have the opposite effect depending from the components.
@@peterkiss1204 Didn't know higher temps could decrease power leakage. What's the physics?
@@Mandragara In silicon semiconductors the junction forward voltage drops 2,5mV at every °C increase in temperature. That means a dioda @ room temperature drops 0,6V (nominal), but @125 °C it's just 0,35V.
If your circuit draws 1 Amper trough that dioda the 0,6W loss is reduced to 0,35W due to the high temperature.
Fact: I overclocked my cpu from 4 to 6 cores by adding more ram
@CodyNW42 Where do you download yours from? I can only find where to download cars
Stupid, just download the ram
Thanks for the tips! I just downloaded 2 TB of clockspeed to my CPU.
CodyNW42 what about system 69? I'm not gonna let my PC go around snitching on my Xbox.
@CodyNW42 yeah i just deleted system 32 and i made another system called "system 6969" now my pc is beyond limits

came here to say this
Does all 5000 series cpu and 6000 series gpu support SAM
@@_reqqz_ yes
Yap, I was gonna comment the same thing
How did this change? I'm new to pc and looking to build one.

Myth: when you leave your cpu on overnight the government mines bitcoin with it
the government doesn't but virus' have been known to though.
Now that's a conspiracy theory😉
Better that, than: More taxes! :/ I think I buy more computers that are always on to lower my taxes? :P
How did find out about that? Yes, the government has been all kinds of things with your computer one of them is the network all the computers together to hack other countries.
🤣🤣🤣

FUCKING RIGHT THO
It's probably right because who the fuck is using a mac lol? So who is going to waste their time writing a virus for one?
@@eternalreign2313 sure, but that doesn't mean it can't happen
ok who
i mean they have a tiny bit more powerfull security but can still get hacked as much as windows pcs. Macs are overpriced and made out of pricy materials and I hate how people use a like 2015 model and say: ''mY mAc Is BeTtEr ThAn Ur REcEnTlY BuIlT sYsTeM"
I overclocked my psu now I have 3.3 ram sticks with -(0.7)^3gb in total, 5.2 cores each, all that with quadriple multithreading
But how many threads!?!?!?!?
William Miller 16.5 , it has triple Multithreading
You should consider adding a 10 Gbps Ethernet connection via add-in card to download the round-uppable RAM module and CPU infinity brick. Always attempt to obtain an integer-based system. The CPU can get indecisive around the 5.5 and 6.5 cores mark. You can try therapy and other forms of consistency training; however, being supportive may prevent any problems because it believes in you (and you believe in it). They are always watching. Remain kind and you won't have to invest in the high end Ethernet card.
lol overclock a psu (power suply unit) uh.... right lol
it just hurts to read that
Myth: Heat generated by PC is bad.
Reality: The heat can be used for multiple purposes like a heater in winter, an easy way to cook ramen or popcorn, etc.
When I had my PC in the basement, it did make a difference in the winter lol. Makes for a pretty good foot warmer if you got the tower down by your feet TBH.
myth .. cold is good since cold start had issue as well... alot of hardwwre work in the certain temp...
@@campkira myth: cold exists
Fact: only heat exists, cold is what happens when enough heat is lost to reach a level of discomfort.
Heck yeah 😂 I love it when it's winter with my pc
That's not a bad idea. If you could reliably use the heat generated by your pc you could save some $$$ on heating equipment.
