    0-20k Best high-wattage PSU under 9k?

    I am running one PC with HCG 1000 with a 5600x and a 6800. Another pc has a 3070 oc and a 9700k@5GHz with the same power supply. Both have absolutely zero power issues. The main rig runs a 3090 + 3950x with an antec 1000 signature titanium. Again no trouble whatsoever. All these three are...

    Which funds? I am talking about net returns after cutting fees, tax etc.

    Slower both in sc and mc. I have a 9700k and a 5600x. 5600x beats the 9700k both in benchmarks and in general usage. It is way more snappy.

    Graphic Cards GPU pricing trends

    If you are using a reasonably new version of Ubuntu (say 18.04) or any other debian/mint etc strains, VMware emulation drivers are inbuilt into the Linux kernel.

    What is your hypervisor? Linux VMs on Windows - why don't use some emulation drivers with VMware? Unless you absolutely must passthru for some particular app, it isn't required.

    What Investment mistakes you made that you want others to avoid?

    Returns for the entire bouquet were on an average 10-12%. Most of them were conservative funds.

    Why headache? NVIDIA has enabled VM passthrough now. Are you on latest drivers? There is no need to hide the VM anymore. AMD has the soft restart issue even on RDNA2 - when the VM is restarted or shut down, the GPU hangs.

    What Investment mistakes you made that you want others to avoid?

    Yep, this and a few others who leak upcoming products like videocardz, wccftech etc. Since we are in tech, it is far easier for us to atleast make informed judgements about this sector. I've almost bailed out of nvidia since I knew they'd crash thanks to the crypto crash. Its happening now -...

    What Investment mistakes you made that you want others to avoid?

    I wasted lots of time on mutual funds and didn't see appreciable returns over 10-15 years. Just around inflation rate or maybe a bit more. Stopped it since 2016 and started investing directly in stock since then of tech companies I typically use (nvidia, amd, qualcomm, msft, goog, amzn etc) as...

    The "Everyday" show-off thread !

    I have a 3090 and max I see are 380-390W transients. Those are perfectly fine - any decent quality psu can handle the same. I haven't seen my 5950x go anywhere near 160w. Still - if you include 400+160, you are still hitting 560. Add another 100 and you should be absolutely fine with a platinum...

    750 is more than sufficient in that case. 350w for GPU, at max 150w for cpu. Optimum Tech ran a 3080 + liquid cooled overclocked 10900k on an sf600 and it ran perfectly fine. Rest is insignificant!

    That PSU has a horribly noisy fan. CM silently fixed it but didn't launch the fixed version in India. I ended up getting an sf600 platinum exactly for this reason. Else the CM psu would have been better.

    Hold off for a few weeks - everything will come down to msrp. Chinese mining farms are shut and their demand has gone to zero. All GPU stock will now be dumped in the channel everywhere causing a price crash.

    Nope - 9th gen i7 is still 8 cores while 10th/11th gen i5 is 6 cores (12 threads). 9th gen i9 = 10th gen i7. They are pretty much identical CPUs. 11th gen is an entirely different architecture.
