Fuck the cowboys. Unf. Fuck em hard.
I replaced my mobo because it had issues
The new one worked at first (hours?) but now it won't last longer than 5 minutes in Windows (display just turns off and everything stops) and often fails to boot at all (just a black screen hang)
Safe mode works fine, even overnight. Anyone know what I should be doing to diagnose/fix this? I've never had 100% functional safe mode and 99% broken normal before. There's nothing in event viewer after a failure in Windows besides the note that the last shutdown wasn't normal

last time I had something like that happen it turned out the gpu wasn’t getting enough power. safe mode worked fine but the second regular desktop tried to enable any sort of fancy gpu rendering it would just crash

maybe your PSU is faulty, and it slow-cooked your old motherboard. and now its turning up the heat on your new one

sounds like some thing is overheating, or otherwise loving up, that safe mode doesn't load a driver for or uses in a fallback mode. try turning off all the motherboard-integrated poo poo like ethernet and ac97

do bear in mind that PSUs are a wear item

their rated capacity is often the capacity when brand-new. three or five years out, it ain't gonna meet the original benchmarks

Power delivery rating is a matter of the coils and transistors doing the rectification and step-down; those aren't wear components and will keep on chugging so long as you aren't overheating. Filtering and power factor correction are done through caps and those do degrade, though its pretty typical for a manufacturer to overspec those for an estimated 10yr service life (calculated against a 40hr/wk duty cycle). If the pfc caps start to get lovely then it just means it pulls a little more (apparent) power, no big deal. Filtering may be an issue if you have garbo input power or you're trying to overclock the thing to the last inch of its life and the hardware is freaking out from ripple on the output voltages but in the vast majority of cases it doesn't matter.

Load up whatever monitoring software of your choice is and watch the voltage while under load. +/-5% is considered tolerance spec.

capacitors degrade

your switching psu needs capacitors to be in-spec to work properly. your voltages will be hosed after the caps go

tardocp found an old psu they had tested years earlier and "re-tested" it. shockingly, a 7 year old psu wasn't even close to spec anymore, who knew

Yeah I explicitly said caps degrade and that is part of the design specification. Desktop PSUs are generally engineered for a 10yr service life with an average duty cycle (40-60hrs/wk), server PSUs for 24/7, and the thing that you are citing is a desktop unit that they acknowledge it had a heavy duty cycle. If you're running it in a more typical duty cycle, you can stretch it through a rebuild or two before junking it, just test voltage stability under load if you're screwing around with components to make sure it will hold up to what you're asking of it.

lol some dipshit built some kind of threadripper/quad firepro monstrosity on a gaming board and desktop case on company dime, jamming it in a data closet overloading the UPS and making the 800W psu cook itself to death and then got promptly fired when someone found it

So what's the recommendation these days for a home router that can support gigabit through an ipv4 nat? The service entrance is down in the mechanical room so I don't care about wireless features. Been using an asus rt-n16 for years now but it needs daily reboots and is getting annoying. I want something like the tp-link safestream (cheap metal box) but that thing bottlenecks to 700mbit, through maybe it doesn't matter now that enough stuff is on ipv6 and bypassing the nat?

Probably an Ubiquiti Edgerouter will fit the bill.

speaking of latvia there's probably a mikrotik hardware product that would work, depending on the nat requirements like the hEX (rb750gr3)

you're not gonna get line rate without either a big hot multicore xeon, or special-purpose hardware

microtik typically eschews both

not my experience with them, but it all depends on the nat rules. a better option that might have an actual chance would be one of the non-lovely ubnt edgerouters, those run a vyatta fork and work pretty well at huge line rates.

the $50 Edgerouter X will do about 950 megabit nat

its original firmware did not support hardware offloading which limits it to about 300 megabit so you might need to update its firmware and manually enable hardware offloading https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/115006567467-EdgeRouter-Hardware-Offloading

the ubnt edgerouters use dedicated hardware to achieve line rates

microtik generally avoids that kind of design
