The highest rated "non white" (as I would see) is 5% identifying as Chinese, and only 3% as black.

Hey can anyone answer a stupid question I have? They said North American power tops out at 2000w. Is it possible that computer components become so power hungry that there is a limit to what is possible? Like GPU’s and CPU’s stop progressing because there’s no more power available?

[@LastGunslingerTull]

@@granthoover9045 possible, but unlikely. New generations of hardware have focused pretty hard on reducing consumption and increasing efficiency. This is most seen in memory and processors denoted as LP or L, which is generally short for low power, or sometimes LV in memory case for low voltage. DDR5 uses less power overall for the same output a comparable DDR4 would. The same can be seen in newer processors, since we’re at a point where we’re installing transistors so small we can’t make them smaller. Like it’s literally against the laws of physics to make them smaller. So much of the focus the last few years has been making less do the same, which increases efficiency by space. 2000 watts is ALOT of juice for a computer, we’re talking a terabyte of memory or dual socket platinum 48 core xeon processors with 96 PCIE lanes. Maybe some Bitcoin mining farms will hit 2k per breaker, but only after 4 high end 500 watt graphics cards chewing away at them hashes. I run a server In my house, and it’s 16 years old, DDR2 FB no multi threading. Old and hungry. Barely eats 700 watts at full output, and around 250 at idle. So I’d say it’s possible, but unlikely.

[@InTimeTraveller]

As a test engineer, I've got to say, this is a really impressive test setup (not sure about the pass/fail thingy though, not entirely sure what it is and what it's needed for). One note though, even if you have a scope, a DMM is still necessary because a scope is specialised at getting timing information very accurately and exact amplitude is usually less useful. So while a scope will have some DMM function, it's only going to give you like 3 or maybe 4 digits of precision, whereas a DMM can easily go to 6.5 digit. Admittedly that accuracy is maybe overkill for PSUs but it gives you trust in your measurements, i.e. if the 6.5 digit DMM says the voltage is 12.56864 then you maybe don't care about the microvolt accuracy (and realistically you're not gonna use it in microvolt range because acquisition time is very slow in that range) but you're not ever gonna doubt the millivolt accuracy.

[@tytusromek9267]

So as a test engineer you shouldn't be that impressed, that's normal measuring equipment. As for the DMM, I have to say you're right on the one hand and wrong on the other. The Chroma already has a relatively high-speed DMM built in, so in principle it's not necessary, but in fact it needs to be calibrated and for that a DMM is useful, at least if you do it yourself and want to achieve very accurate results. What surprises me is that they bought the automatic Chroma, which is completely unsuitable for a laboratory.

[@moredots]

@@tytusromek9267 what's an Automatic Chroma? Didn't hear them mention that during the video. Unless you mean the pass/fail tester thing.

[@tytusromek9267]

@@moredots The automatic chroma is for random testing. You write the program, connect the power supply and get a protocol. The programs are also interchangeable, so if there are problems you can test the same power supply with the same program on a second Chroma. The advantage is that the operator does not have to know anything about the Chroma, just connect the power supply, press the button, everyone can do it. If problems occur, this is forwarded and the engineer/physicist looks at it. This is why they are also used in QA. The disadvantage is that it is more difficult to do anything beyond that, you are somewhat bound to the program. So if you want to test something special, or there were problems in the process, etc.. you have to rewrite the program. It is not impossible to intervene directly, but you realize that these are not meant for that, but rather for automated testing. The manual ones are then used in laboratories (not only in power supplies, but also in batteries, solar cells, aviation and space technology. Everywhere where electricity is converted or generated) with several and high quality measuring equipment like oscilloscopes. These can also be programmed, but also allow complete manual access. It is not only about the tests themselves but about the combination of the electronic loads, the manual ones allow very easy exchange of the loads. So you can adapt them to changed test operations e.g. ATX 3.0 They are also used in the labs of the manufacturers, at Cooler Master HQ I know that they use tektronix oscilloscope, one costs over 10000$. Enermax, FSP, Seasonic... also use both, but there my info is very old. Also the other well known power supply testers use them like Aris Mpitziopoulos(Cybenetics, Toms, hardwarebusters), Hardwareluxx, TweakPC... The disadvantage here is that you need very good professionals. The smaller test sites use Sunmoon Load Tester, these are much less accurate but also offer many options. These are also used by the manufacturers for RMA

[@moredots]

@@tytusromek9267 thanks for the response. That all makes sense. So that's the piece of equipment directly below all the DC loads, right?

if you really want to go for this "docked" solution, you should make a pcb that slides in as a whole but still do a flexible connection to the test bench (Between PCB and Testbench) to take away the stress from the connectors when plugged in. Because there always is a little. That way you have a quick connection for every plug like you mentioned but also keep the connectors in good shape.

[@n3ttx580]

I am from industrial automation, out team was building racks that were controling multi-thousand amps of current throught magnets. Equipotential bonding is absolutely mandatory in anything operating over ELV (Extra Low Voltage, 120VDC, 5VACrms), since it can pose major health risks. Everything that had any piece of metal that was exposed outside it's enclousure must have a grounding point, that is then connected with everything else, and the ground is then very closely monitored either with dedicated electronics (which we sometimes did on racks that were for example tripping the gigantic transformers and were close to them), or hooked to appropriate GFCI-type device. It is very nice to have few breakers trip when you forget to screw in one of MANY wires and they touch the rack wall, rather than getting electrocuted. Or when a wire gets loose somewhere somehow, it doesn't kill the operator.

Seasonic sponsoring this video and putting you on track to use the same hardware for testing they use is actually a big-brain move. Because now, they will always have the home field advantage.

[@KarrasBastomi]

I thing Kyle would not only contact seasonic for input.

[@CoffeeKadachi]

Realistically he'd done MONTHS of research on this aside from just seasonic's input, and just because that's what they use doesn't mean they can't also push seasonic power supplies to their limit (along with all the other competition). This build EXCEEDS seasonic's own even with newer hardware than they have.

[@drewdane40]

In terms of optics, Seasonic sponsoring the video and providing the spec for the gear that will be used to test their products isn't really a great indicator of much other than how big of a favor Linus owes them when his company is reviewing their gear. Having said that, they do have a reputation of making high quality stuff. The ethical move would have been to stay away from the process and let LTT come up with their own methodology with the confidence they would look good no matter what the lab threw at them.

[@kemic8264]

There seems to be some misinterpretation of my comment, so I'm hoping to clear things up here. What I meant was that there are probably a handful of companies that make testers like these. Of them, they probably each have their pros and cons, and each might have some niche thing that sets them apart from each other. I have no doubt that he spent months researching the varying options, but what you can find out about something from sales persons and brouchers is a sliver of what you can learn from talking to people with first hand experience. So, ultimately, the more support Seasonic gave to LMG, the more it helped sway the use of a similar system to what they themselves used to benchmark and test the quality of their and their competitors products. This gives them a homefield advantage over manufacturers that test their equipment using a setup made by a different company. I would say in a similar fashion to convincing them to only test gpus on motherboards running intel processors would give a company an advantage over another gpu manufacturer that optomizes for amd processors. I hope that makes sense. I'm not saying this is a bad thing. I'm sure there is an industry standard that everyone tests to. But it's those niche things that go beyond which will set everything apart in the higher end of products. Seasonic is definitely putting their money where their mouth is though, and that's good. I hope more companies do in the future.
