Correct. After you switch off your PSU, and you hold down the power button, it drains the residual power stored all throughout your MOBO. Except your CMOS batt of course haha. This takes around 4-5 seconds for me. My reference is an LED light on my MOBO.
For the specific use-case of overclockers, especially in competitions I've seen, they've generally done them on open benches where there may not be an actual power button to press, just bridging the relevant points with a screwdriver etc
Sounds like they've simply put a transistor on the output of the 5volt rail. That rail doesn't need to supply much power either so it's not exactly an engineering challenge, good marketing though.
@@a.kjfhkziujsfdgbskjxfyhgfl2332 Interesting thought. You'd need it to go through a resistor to limit the current so you don't just blow the transistor but it could be what they're doing. But I still think they're just switching off the output. You'd use a MOSFET, they have basically no voltage drop across them (hence no losses). I.e. The resistance of a typical MOSFET in on state is measured in milli-ohms, too low to worry about.
@@charmio Typical server power supplies have MOSFETs on the output it's especially good for over current protection and can cutoff power from rail before charge in the capacitors will blow up everything it can
Does anyone really care about overclocking anymore these days? It has become almost irrelevant nowadays, especially since you're not going to bother to physically modify the parts and lose the warranty...
No that's terrible that's a terrible idea your system needs enough power to be able to shut down properly 😂 also if there is a storm in power goes out your system quickly does operations to save data that can be saved 😅
@@hobbinsjogsohn9996could also be the fact that some operating systems don't fully turn off when you shut them down through the software. They only fully shut down when you do a restart.
This is either a simple resistor on all the larger capacitors or a switching method like replays or transistors on the outputs. Either way something all power supplies should have anwyays.
Turns laptop off The laptop: AAAAAHHHHHHHH MAX FANS NOW!!!!!!! Me: I wonder if there’s any extra power being stored somewhere…. After that fan freak out? Probably not. Why not just program the computer to discharge the extra power to the fans??? 1 last cool down, and you use up the leftover energy. No need to make anything fancy, just some programming.
I've counted how long it takes the little green LED on boxy bit of my laptop's charger cable to go out. Sometimes it's within 10 seconds, sometimes it gets up to 45 seconds. I've always wondered why.
dont worry, if they really wanted to, authorities can use radio transmisssions powered by your CMOS battery to access your computer completely off the internet and unplugged, information extraction is VERY rudimentary but its something
Just don't overclock. It's very inefficient and the benefits are typically low single digit improvements costing a huge increase in power consumption. It also significantly shortens the useful life of your device.
Okay, that's interesting and all, but it's not actually harder to shut down my pc than I think it was. It is exactly as easy. It just takes a minute longer, depending on when you count the pc as "turned off"
Never take apart a power supply. They can hold a lethal charge in their capacitors and there's no way you'll be able to tell by looking at them if they still have a charge in them. A professional can do it safely but the risk for your average person is not worth it. Better to just replace it when they break than fix it yourself.
Maybe really handy my system is really unstable and I've been using it for years and years so I'm not exactly sure what's running on it and how it's all working so I have to completely shut my PC down and remove all power before restarting it or else a lot of my drivers break and it breaks windows so I can no longer put it into sleep mode or reset
You can "overclock" a CPU by adjusting the power going through it and the rest of your components to get better performance. It gets more unstable the more you overclock
To fix this just have atleast 1 gpu attached, 1 monitor, multiple to all usb slots used, rgb fans etc, this way the residual power will be consumed by everything
It’s not a joke when I tell people to switch off, unplug, spam power a few times, then hold for 30 seconds. Also not a joke when I tell people to remove cmos for more than just 30 seconds. Sometimes the power just doesn’t drain.
Surely hitting the power button will discharge the reservoir capacitors after cutting power?
Correct. After you switch off your PSU, and you hold down the power button, it drains the residual power stored all throughout your MOBO. Except your CMOS batt of course haha. This takes around 4-5 seconds for me. My reference is an LED light on my MOBO.
The light on your mobo ain't indicating s*it
Thats why you always spam it few times
@@spacemeter3001 Well, if it's on there is power somewhere 😂

nice springbok shirt ❤🇿🇦
Your BIOS is in an (usually) read-only flash memory chip. Clear that.
No, i just turn off the psu and turn on my rgb keyboard by pressing something even tho i don't overclock
Bro posts what
Ever the hell that was last upload and proceeds to act like nothing happend
Bro invented a resistor😂
Dwell time is good for most consumers. If power sags or flickers the built in capacitance helps reduce sudden spikes getting to your MB.
Sounds like they've simply put a transistor on the output of the 5volt rail. That rail doesn't need to supply much power either so it's not exactly an engineering challenge, good marketing though.
you would be better off putting it across the rail and ground to discharge after power off, without a massive efficiency hit

It’s easy, unplug it and press the power button, all the LEDs with pull the rest of the power instantly

Yeah, it's a hobby for some people. But for most it doesn't matter with new hardware.

I just hate that I cant turn my computer off any more these days.
You can unplug the cable from the wall if it's a desktop, otherwise it's difficult for a laptop.
@@Rullino32 I don't think that's what OP meant. I think they were saying they can't for work or escapism purposes.
@@hobbinsjogsohn9996 rullino32 got it right. Most computers "stay on" for quick boot.

Missed the chance to say "Power SuppLies"
Are we just not gonna talk about what the last video was?

LETS GO SPRINGBOKS 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 are u South African?
Love That Rugby Jersey !
ITS NOT DIFFICULT
Turn off the PSU switch + turn on the PC to discharge whatever remaining "residual energy"
"nice" price points...
casually meantions 169... 😏
So that's why my pc goes to the lockscreen instead, even though I pressed SHUTDOWN!
Turns laptop off
The laptop: AAAAAHHHHHHHH MAX FANS NOW!!!!!!!

I'm very impressed by the electrical engineering knowledge in these comments 👏

Sounds like for competition as regular people don't need to overclock.
after cutting the power
i hold the power button for 15 seconds just in case

I don't think your hard drive will be happy about it
I do it every day. Turn off switch then push power button a few times

This reserve power is for your country South Africa
I just dont overwork my computer.
one of the best splaves in the world or one of the best overclockers?
Have they tried i dunno holding power button?
Pulling plug on a desktop seems like an easy task
@@h0110wkn1ght-ywell they could flip a switch on a surge or ups
Flip the switch on the surge protector. Saves power on everything plugged in.
Dump straight to ground??
what about laptop? do my laptop never ever turn off??? i dont have a tower nevef had
those damn capacitors
Actually pretty cool
What is a owerclocker?
Somebody who proves that if you can make a number go up then a competition will be built around making the number bigger
@hawks9142 ok thanks I didn't really understand that but still thanks

@@SardineBreath28 Yep, and the frequency the cpu is running. The unstability can be partly countered by cooling down the cpu a lot.
NICE
Unplug the psu wire from the case and then press and hold the power button for 2 seconds will do the same thing.
To fix this just have atleast 1 gpu attached, 1 monitor, multiple to all usb slots used, rgb fans etc, this way the residual power will be consumed by everything
Thank god my Mobo lights up, I can see the residual energy so I just spam the power button whilst the ATX is off to use it up
Tf was the previous video
what was the previous vid
DAWG WTF WAS THAT LAST POST??
That's a ridiculous price point even with the currently inflated market.
The price is fucking cheap.
Not really for those wattages.
