PC gamer moment

>>718069907 (OP)
You know PlayStations were known for catching fire like 3 generations in a row right? And Xbox... Lmao

What a hot mess!

>>718069907 (OP)
Skill issue

>>718069972
And PS5 had the liquid metal leaking problems. Stuff breaks.

The Nvidia special.

AIEEEEEE njudea sisters heeeeeelp

>>718069907 (OP)
I'm imagining they were contacting the backplate of a 40-50xx card and the case' airflow was also garbage.
I can see how an idiot that would fork out an extra 20-30usb per part would make this mistake in assembly.

Nvidia moment more like
They're pushing 600w through 6 shitty cables not fit for it because they desperately need to save pennies on pcb space
Meanwhile 4x 8 pin would do 12 cables carrying 50w each and has done so with a fraction of the failure rate

5090s are actual fire hazards and should not be able to be sold for consumer use.

>>718070328
that's AIO piping and has nothing to do with nvidia

>>718069907 (OP)
that'll be 1000 dollars plus tariffs!

jeet or actual retard?

>>718070447
What do you do in this situation?

>>718071002
Option C: nvidia cultist.

>>718071210
buy another Nvidia graphics card to support the economy

>>718071210
cut the power instead of recording it like a retard?

>>718071210
cum

>>718070570
How do you even arrive at the conclusion that a fucking tube carrying water whose sole purpose is to prevent heat accumulation could possibly catch fire

dual towers air cooler and under-volting.
AIO is for fags and nerds

>>718069907 (OP)
uh oh, melty

>>718070447
What the fuck causes the fire, it looks like a fuel source being burned.

>>718071210
You do the muttoid face and complain

>>718071425
Probably the cables being bent to shit

>>718071435
I'm not an electrical engineer but why isn't there a system to stop the power supply from dumping hundreds of watts into a faulty connector?

I got myself a powerful rig to play 10+ year old games and its great and all...once you whip the games into submission messing with random graphics settings that should slow down framerate but do and general disfunction. I installed AC1 this morning. Gonna have to mod the shit out of that.

>>718071210

pull the plug out of the wall socket and then when it stops sparking put the flames out with a heavy cloth

If you are an adult and 1) never worked with pcs or 2) scared of pcs, I will just assume you are retarded or from a poor family that couldn't afford a pc (nothing wrong with that desu)

Finally finished my build! Time to gam -ACK

>fell for the watercooling meme

>>718072218
based practical anon

why does everyone wants garbage AIO and shitty leds everywhere ? I've overclocked a 4790K to 5.1 and a E5-2699 v3 at 3.8 and so much more ON AIR

i might be a hardware autist that farms HWP for a hobby but save for extreme OCs i'll never use WC, just pure air

in fact i rarely ever used watercooling, never had anything fail on me other than motherboards (so even worse with WC) outside of record attempts

>>718069972
>>718070131
This. My PC is still trucking while my PS5 currently sits bricked and inoperable. So fucking tired of proprietary console bullshit. Wish my friends would get over that, or their fear of the scary twitchy m+kb aimer man on the crossplay.

>>718070447
Do the flames make it go faster?

>>718072362
rgb is everywhere, sometimes its even cheaper than regular versions
aio is just better, you can get top aio these days for like $70 which will be much smaller and much quieter than the air cooler with comparable performance

>>718073569
>your 10mm wide electric chink motor powering a chink pump with chink fans is going to last forever
lmao
if intelshit didn't exist there wouldn't even be a need for AIOs

>>718072045
What else would he do? It might be useful for the warranty dispute.

>>718073569
you fell for marketing. AIO's have zero real benefit outside of size, which is negated by the risk of a leak.

>>718071759
because its funny

>>718074135
i own an aio for 6 years now
you are the out of touch boomer who fell for the tech illiterate fearmongering

>>718071210
ask for a refund

>>718074375
to benefit from watercooling in any significant way, the cooling system would need to be at least double the size. Unless of course you have some piss weak low power system that can be passively cooled.

>>718074673
I think anon was talking about the leaking

>>718074673
anon stop pretending to be some wannabe overclocker who runs fans (or aios) at 100% all the time
aios are literally silent while performing better than retarded noctua monstrosities

I've been trained since birth to not let liquid near a computer. I'm team air cooler.

Check steam hardway survey. 90% of PC gamers have worse systems than a PS5 still.

>>718074905
Just connect your water cooling system properly. How fucking hard is it to just be competent?

>>718074905
>>718074927
why are brown people so backward

>>718069907 (OP)
who cares about some cheap 5050 burning up? at least it wasnt a 5090.

>>718074927
literally all of these are stronger than the PS5, silly phoneposter

>>718074813
cope

>>718073325
Now that's what I call an MSI Afterburner!

>>718069907 (OP)
how could my 600 watt GPU do this...

So glad I got a prebuilt with an i5 13400F and 3060 12GB and no water cooling meme. Not really any potential hardware failure unless I run it like a retard, but I don't, I have my own fan settings with afterburner. Never goes above 80C because I don't do stupid shit like streaming.

>>718074905
depends on a liquid, eg. mineral oli is as transparent as water, but doesn't cause rust or electical short circuits, making it a populach choice for electronics enthusiasts

The AMD standard.

>>718070447
these grafix fire fr bruh

>>718069907 (OP)
they obviously won't game on that because they had a regualr idiot moment

>>718071210
install newest drivers

>>718069972
thread destroyed by fpbp as always

>>718074375
i can assure you it doesn't dissipate more than good air, nor is it quieter, and it doesn't cool the vrm at all
so why would you want an AIO ? I'm the autist that made the first post in the chain of answers

>>718076132
>i can assure you it doesn't dissipate more than good air, nor is it quieter, and it doesn't cool the vrm at all
you literally don't understand basic physics behind coolers
it dissipates heat faster because liquid transfers the heat faster and because aio radiator has bigger and better surface area compared to the air cooler
faster dissipation means radiator fans don't have to spin as fast as air cooler fans which means less noise
vrm is covered by your case's intake-exhaust airflow, unless again you are an unironically braindead boomer somehow still buying cases with 5.25

>>718069972
mine never did

>>718069972
How has Nintendo avoided such massive failure rates?

>>718071210
update windows

>>718071759
the good ones have. a lot of these are most likely faulty psus

>>718074927
But enough about his wife, what about the truck?

>>718074905
Sex with Roov!

I want to buy RTX 5070 Ti Super when they come out early next year, because of the 24 GB VRAM is so delicious for AI.

Do you guys think they will fix the melty issues for the Supers? Or is the 5070 Ti even affected?

>>718077529
Another reason to avoid prebuilts without a full parts list. Those shitty motherboards are mostly gone but they still use the chinkiest psus to save $10. If you're lucky it'll last a few years and just blow a capacitor before dying, If you get unlucky say goodbye to $1500.

>>718077989
no they aren't going to fix shit

>>718070150
Naw, this was specifically the Zotac special.

>>718077989
No, it was 5080 and 5090 only.

>>718071759
yeah, it's called a fuse

>>718078036
I don't see any non-nvidia zotac cards....

Jeet moment

My PC Gamer moment is pairing a Micro-ATX motherboard with a 6800xt. Sounds fine on paper, but the gpu blocks access to all but one SATA port (the only SATA ssd I managed to plug in BARELY fits, the connector is rubbing against the gpu.) and completely blocks access to my front USB3 connector so I can't even use that.

Live and learn. I'll make sure my next PC has a full-size ATX motherboard.

>>718078325
>he hasn't discovered the pure vidya kino experience of an AI narrating a text adventure for you

>>718078343
There are L shaped SATA cables that immediately do a 90 degree turn. Have you tried those?

>>718078343
Yeah full ATX is really the only way these days with the mega sized GPUs being pumped out that require better airflow than ever. With low-profile cards being either absurdly more expensive or just non-existent it's just true even more so.

>>718075146
The PS5 Pro is like 100 5090s, but more powerful.

>>718075259

>>718079943
All of these were fake.

>>718081249
That's the top PCIe slot, where the GPU was. It looks like his hoses were pressing down on the power cables and likely strained the ports.

>>718069907 (OP)

>braindead zoomer

lmao says the guy that didn't understand half my orginal post

>>718069907 (OP)
All you need to do is make sure the connections are secure and that you buy a good PSU. My astral 5090 OC pushes 600w perfectly fine with all pins in the green. I didn't buy this thing to be a pussy and not use its full power.

>>718081206
Modern GPUs and CPUs are being released overclocked out of the box, so they have much higher power draws. The most infamous example was with the 50 series of Nvidia cards where the connectors were literally melting because they weren't designed to handle the voltage. You know how a light bulb works? Force a current through a wire until it heats up and glows? That's what's happening here. Cooling systems and good airflow inside the case were important before now, but there's only so much they can compensate for connectors not intended for high voltage, so you either have to go in and underclock to components, have more resilient connecters or have more connectors to distribute the voltage, Nvidia accounted for none of this and a bunch of people's computers melted.

Hey newfriend, welcome to 4chan! It seems you've either left your trip and name on from another thread by accident, or you've been misled about their purpose!
4chan is a set of fora founded in part under the idea that an argument must stand on its own in order to be worthy of Merit. As such, applying names, avatars, signatures, or unique identifiers (trip codes) to your post when it is not necessary to identify yourself is considered bad form!
Generally, people who clearly do not understand the board culture will be taken less seriously. If you feel you need to apply your name, identity, sex, or social status to your argument, your argument must not be strong on its own.
There are some instances where a trip is necessary, such as when providing access to files, or making falsifiable updates to a long-running project. However, in most instances, it is better not to use them. Keep this in mind going forward, and happy posting!

>better than PS5

I'm not even one to defend consoles, but don't talk shit, the PS5's APU is about even to an AMD 6700 or just below an Nvidia 2070.

This is still bad by 2025 standards of graphics cards, but there's no need to lie and say it's worse than any **50 card, they are as entry-level as they come

My RTX3070 had two power plugs, and like a complete idiot, I took the cable that splits into two and connected only one output from the power supply to both plugs on the RTX3070. What happened then was that my PC would freeze every time it was requiring a lot of power, and I never realized why, until I replaced it with an RTX3090 and saw the shit I had made.

and why did the GPU burn if AIOs are supposedly so good for cooling? checkmate

>>718091982
Because he didn't clean it monthly.

>>718092572
How does that even happen? What's in there that attracts them?

If you don't have AIO cooling you're not a real pc gamer

>>718070447
If he turned off the power on his computer instead of taking out his phone to film his PC dying, could he have saved it? How much money did he just throw away for a shitty video?

I'm sticking to 144 and not even going to look at 280, I'm too scared I'll notice the difference and want it. Game developers are too shit and hardware will never compensate enough for 280 to be viable with anything other than top tier shit.
