Thanks for the tips. I've read recommendations of the ASRock B650 instead of the board I opted for, which costs only slightly more. AFAIK the only downsides to the A620M are no support for PBO + Curve Optimizer and no RGB headers. Those don't matter to me at all, since I don't intend to overclock and have no need to make my PC look fancy, I look at the screen most of the time, and not what's under the table :).. That said, I admit that the 7600X probably may have been a tiny bit overkill pairing with the board, but w/e, I like to live on the edge.

I opted for that Corsair PSU because I found a good deal and the fact that cable management (unless in areas where necessary) was and isn't really a priority, so Fully or Semi modular it was. Other than that, no forethought was put into it.

EDIT:

Oh right forgot to mention that PcPartPicker's estimated wattage also guided my PSU purchase, the total estimate was at 530W, so I just multiplied it by 1.25. I'm currently second-guessing my PSU choice now..

    I'm half-way through buying all of my parts.

    Pretend that my selected graphics card is the Lisuan G100. Because fuck AMD and NVIDIA.

    My usecases are playing around with DaVinci Resolve and GIMP, small-time Godot game dev'ing, playing indie games, self-hosting (e.g. a Jellyfin instance for my movie/tv show for my LAN streaming needs) and just general browsing lol. I don't intend to overclock, so 600-650W seems fairly plenty.

    I had previously struggled with H.265 video formats, my previous setup with the i5 4670k and NVIDIA 750ti were barely keeping up with anything new, never mind newer standards (somehow runs Ghostrunner 2 @ 1080p 40fps in most terrains!). They held their weight pretty nicely over the years though.

    Huawei enters the GPU market with 96 GB VRAM GPU under 2000 USD, meanwhile NVIDIA sells from 10,000+ (RTX 6000 PRO) in c/technology@lemmy.ml

    I kinda want an individual consumer-friendly, low-end/mid-end alternative that can run my games and video editing software for very small projects.. so far I'm only eyeing the Lisuan G100, which seems to fit that bill..

    This seems cool though, other than AI, it could be used for distributed cloud computing or something of that sort

    If we're to compare this entry-level CPU clearly designed by a newcomer company and honed for one or two niches, to the current top-of-the-line, catch-all CPU backed by a brand that has had decades in the processor game, then yeah obviously it's not going to fare well. There's still some merit to this type of CPU (like say, if the price is right) and it could pave the way for better iterations.

    We don't make the same comparison for the quality & efficiency of healthcare in the brands' respective countries, now do we? :)

    China’s Domestic x86 CPU, the Zhaoxin KX-7000, Debuts in an AI PC by MAXHUB, Positioning It as a Viable Alternative to Intel/AMD Options (wccftech.com)
     

    Archived ver.: https://web.archive.org/web/20250828103802/https://wccftech.com/china-domestic-x86-cpu-the-zhaoxin-kx-7000-debuts-in-an-ai-pc-by-maxhub/

    Original source, including in-depth tests and other fancy details of the CPU used in the MAXHUB PC itself (written in Mandarin): https://news.mydrivers.com/1/1070/1070803_all.htm

    CPU-Z Single-Core Benchmark and specs from the original source:

    That's an 8-core, ~3GHz Base Speed, 32MB L3 cache CPU for the number-crunchers around here.

    On the surface, this CPU seems like it's best suited for general desktop and office use, to see it adopted to a PC build product geared for "AI workloads" is interesting. If I'm not mistaken, AI performance is heavily dependent on the GPU rather than on the CPU, so I think that's fine:

    In terms of performance, the MAXHUB's AI+ desktop computer is claimed to play 1080P 30fps and 4K 30fps high-bitrate online videos with decent CPU utilization numbers, showing that the KX-7000 CPU acts decently with media workload. Of course, when compared against competitors like Intel or AMD, Zhaoxin is behind, but the key motive here to create an ecosystem that relies entirely on in-house products, and this has apparently happened here.

    And that's a good thing, lol.

    The c/open_e_resources manifesto (lemmy.ml)
     

    Welcome to c/open_e_resources,

    This community, which is not affiliated with UNESCO's OER btw, was created so that anyone may share educational resources that are open, libre and free by nature.

    Quality education shouldn't need to be expensive, locked behind paywalls and proprietary licenses, so let's unlock those gates together.

    The 5R principles below are used as our metric for the resources we search for:

    • Retain - make, own, and control a copy of the resource (e.g., download and keep your own copy)
    • Revise - edit, adapt, and modify your copy of the resource (e.g., translate into another language)
    • Remix - combine your original or revised copy of the resource with other existing material to create something new (e.g., make a mashup)
    • Reuse - use your original, revised, or remixed copy of the resource publicly (e.g., on a website, in a presentation, in a class)
    • Redistribute - share copies of your original, revised, or remixed copy of the resource with others (e.g., post a copy online or give one to a friend)

    (excerpt taken from opencontent.org)

    When finding a resource, make sure to list the license/nature of the resource and anti-features, similar to how F-Droid does it.

    If there's any question or anything you'd like to see improved/changed, let me know. I'm also looking for mods (no criteria).
