[brittle bear]

I’d change the entire thing…

Budget?

Poor ssd and psu choice

[brittle bear]

Ssd maybe psu is good

[tardy flare]

I have accquired the cpu, mobo, gpu

[slim pendant]

It’s not good

[brittle bear]

Are they returnable?

When did you get them

[tardy flare]

abt 3 months ago

[brittle bear]

Because nowadays they are really bad for the price

[tardy flare]

is tht big of a case nescessary for a htpc

[brittle bear]

It’s not huge for atx

[slim pendant]

So you have a mini itx mobo so obviously we need a different case

[brittle bear]

And for good cooling atx size is basicly needed

[tardy flare]

i have a mini itx mobo

[slim pendant]

No

[tardy flare]

[tardy flare]

is an 850w enough

[slim pendant]

Yes

[tardy flare]

3090s usually need more than that dont they

[harsh oracle]

They don’t

[slim pendant]

Says who?

[tardy flare]

well i daily drive a 5800x3d and 7900 xtx with a 850w psu, and it shuts off and the psu ended up dying had to upgrade to a be quiet 1600w(got on used for $250)

[tardy flare]

technically the psu shoudn't have died but it did

[slim pendant]

What was your psu

[tardy flare]

rog 850w

[slim pendant]

Defective psu

[tardy flare]

well it ran with a 2080 ti and 2700 fine

[slim pendant]

It was obviously defective

[tardy flare]

how tho

it was running i believe since 2021 ish

[slim pendant]

It was defective

[severe wren]

what dont you understand about it being defective

it means it wasnt working properly as an 850w psu

[tardy flare]

how are u certain if it was running fine for 3 yrs

[severe wren]

at lower wattage, it would probably work fine

[slim pendant]

Because it was sufficient wattage and didn’t work 🤦‍♂️

[tardy flare]

ok ig

but still gonna splurge for a 1000w psu - better to be safe than sorry

[slim pendant]

That’s fine just understand you’re an idiot

“I bought a used car with 150K miles with the oil never being changed, when it broke 2 days later I vowed I’ll never buy a used car again”

[tardy flare]

in india there is only a $50 difference b/w a 850w and a 1000w psu

[harsh oracle]

$50

[severe wren]

im pretty sure thats normal

rm1000e is like 160 and an rm850e is like 120

[slim pendant]

That’s not good…

[tardy flare]

sry a $39 difference

[tardy flare]

the exact same model

[severe wren]

pcp says 116 for an 850e and 139 for a 1000e

[severe wren]

and a waste of $39...

[slim pendant]

Terrible psus anyway

[severe wren]

what?

they're a tier

[slim pendant]

Idc what some list says

They have doa issues and coil whine

They suck for the price

[severe wren]

how is their price bad

[slim pendant]

There’s 10 psus that are better and cheaper

[severe wren]

how so

[slim pendant]

Wdym how so

[severe wren]

what psus

[slim pendant]

Less doa issues and less coil whine

[severe wren]

and i trust the tier list most tbh
