Threadripper 7000: The most reliable CPU! 🏆
Threadripper 7000 is the most reliable CPU according to Puget Systems statistics — Nvidia RTX GPUs of the Ada generation have the lowest failure rates.
The custom PC building company, Puget Systems, has just published its list of the most reliable hardware for 2024. 🖥️ The company seeks to recognize the best brands and models that provided “exceptional reliability over the past year.” However, they clarify that this list only represents their experience with their partners and “does not encompass the entire computer hardware industry.”
Despite this, Puget's list is quite extensive, as it collaborates with several major brands in the sector. The company focused primarily on data from its desktop and rack workstation lines, including only components that have sold a minimum of 200 units.
According to the company's list, the AMD Ryzen processors Threadripper 7000 The Threadripper Pro 7000WX stood out as the most reliable processors, with a failure rate of 2%. While this may seem relatively high compared to other types of components, it is less than the half of the overall failure rate of processors, which stands at 5% due to the complexity of modern chips. 🔍
On the other hand, GPUs have excellent reliability, with an average failure rate of just 0.68%. GPUs Nvidia RTX of the Ada generation and the Asus GeForce RTX 40-series ProArt exhibits a lower failure rate of 0.5%, while the Asus GeForce RTX 40-series TUF achieved an astonishing 0.% failure rate. 🎮
| Component Type | Name of the Product | Total Failure Rate |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 and AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000WX Series | 2% |
| GPU | Nvidia RTX Generation Ada | less than 0.5% |
| GPU | Asus GeForce RTX 40-Series Pro Art | less than 0.5% |
| GPU | Asus GeForce RTX 40-Series TUF | 0% |
| Motherboard | Asus TUF B760M-Plus Wi-Fi II | less than 1% |
| RAM | Kingston DDR5-5600 32GB (KVR56U46BD8-32) | 0.15% |
| Storage | NVMe SSD Kingston KC3000 (1TB, 2TB and 4TB) | 0.08% |
| PSU | Super Flower LEADEX VII Gold ATX 3.0 1000W / 1300W and Super Flower LEADEX Titanium ATX 3.0 1600W | 0.26% |
The Motherboards have a failure rate relatively high 4.9% for 2024, likely due to the complexity of this component. However, the Asus TUF B760M-Plus Wi-Fi II stood out, as it only had two failures during the year, putting its failure rate at less than 1%. 🛠️
Kingston also shined in Puget's reliability list, with its memory and storage achieving failure rates of 0.15% and 0.08%, respectively. This is less than one third of the average rate of RAM failures and an impressive 5% average failure rate for storage drives.
Finally, three power supplies from Super Flower were rated as the most reliable, with a combined failure rate of 0.26%. Puget Systems indicates that Super Flower's exceptional reliability is the reason it has maintained this brand as its primary choice in recent years. ⚡
In short, these five brands dominated Puget's reliability list for 2024: AMD, Nvidia, Asus, Kingston, and Super Flower. So if you're building your own system, these are the names to keep in mind if you want to make sure you're getting relatively reliable components. 🛒
It is worth mentioning that although these companies make parts that are considered reliable, they can also have some faults. For example, Puget Systems reported problems with AMD Ryzen Desktop Processors last year. While it wasn't as severe as what Intel experienced, it was significant enough to be mentioned in the report. 📉
