If I install stronger PC power supply in terms of watts

AI Thread Summary
Upgrading to a higher wattage power supply does not pose a risk of damaging components in a PC. Even if a power supply has a higher capacity, the system will only draw the amount of power it needs. For example, if the total power requirement of the components is 50 W and a 100 W power supply is installed, the PC will still only consume 50 W. There is no waste of power in this scenario; the power supply simply has more capacity than is currently utilized. Overclocking may benefit from a higher wattage supply, but it is not necessary for standard operation.

Although if you intend on overclocking I think this is helpful.
 
But if my PC requires less power overall,does that mean that remaining power will be wasted?
 
If you have components that use a total of 50 W of power and you put in a 100 W supply then your computer will still just use 50 W of power. You won't "waste power", but your power supply will have more capacity than is being used.

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
