I’ve seen shit like gaming chairs, headsets, and even gaming PCs turning out to be absolute horseshit compared to even shit used in offices.

I’m curious to know your thoughts on this. My theory is that the focus on gaming was so extreme the others that actually IMPROVE gaming like less bottlenecks get fucked over.

    Noted. My preference is mostly on aesthetics and not liking big bulky air coolers.

    Though I found some other surprising tips to reduce thermal load like getting high-density RAM sticks instead of the “gaming” ones.

      Technically yes, the less RAM modules you have, the lower power consumption. But the power draw of RAM is so small compared to everything else that it doesn’t really make a difference. It might save you a few watts, but in a few hundred watts system it doesn’t really matter. If they are cheaper or more available, go for it, but if it is more expensive than normal/gaming RAM, I wouldn’t bother. Plus this might lead to slightly worse performance see this.

        Noted. I just realized it’s possible to make an extreme build for less money 🧍‍♂️
