But

#

Unless you're doing a massive cooling loop, you have no need for a full tower

tender root Jan 28, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

Front: Three 120mm or two 140mm* fans and up to a 360mm radiator with a maximum thickness of 50mm without fans. <- that is what it says

#

meaning, the radiator with everything BUT the fans can take up a total of 50mm

Okay

Is a 80+ certified still good

So you would not recommend it

tender root Jan 28, 2020, 8:43 PM

not what i am saying at all

i am saying that "80+ certified" as the only data point is useless to judge something by

Power Supply Certification, What Does It All Mean? - Smart Buyer

Uusing 80 PLUS certified power supplies can save money in the long run. But what does it actually mean? Today we focus on power supply certification.

#

The certification is just how efficient it is

#

80+ usually sits around 80% of what it draws

It's still massive

#

I mean it's up to you

#

But if you like the style and look of it

#

You can go with a crystal 470x and take the fans off the front

#

Even though you would have those annoying xs

it is overpriced by about 1000

well has it to do with cpu and gpu

it is simply not worth the money

before i pull that intel build apart. I would like to hear from you. Why do you think you want that build?

rugged sedge Jan 29, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

same reason I maybe wanna play this pc and than on 2 pcs maybe so like a 2 monitor setup but you can use both monitors for gaming and editing and the second one I wanna use for editing homework and music

not quite what i am asking.

idk if that is possible

oh

tender root Jan 29, 2020, 5:31 PM

what makes you willing to pay that amount of money for that system? (the intel one)

rugged sedge Jan 29, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

well because idk its my first setup and I want the best of the best so I dont have to get a new thing or parts for like a bunch of years

tender root Jan 29, 2020, 5:33 PM

so, you want the best you can get for a given amount of money?

yes

tender root Jan 29, 2020, 5:33 PM

Naed has probably sorted this out by now, but my little thought here
3700x+2080Ti > 9900k+2080S

#

fairly sure the prices should be the same

tender root Jan 29, 2020, 9:16 PM

it ended up with a 3900+2080super

other things played into that

yeah, depends on what you do for what is actually better

@lofty pewter alive?

@lofty pewter corsair tx650m or toughpower grand rgb 650w <- those are sadly the only choices. so which of those two?

lofty pewter Jan 30, 2020, 7:45 PM

#

It'll probably take me quite a few hours to get to comparing them as idk what is actually better without researching (which Im too tired to do rn, taking a nap).

tender root Jan 30, 2020, 7:48 PM

#

@lofty pewter no rush mate, have a good nap

primal remnant Jan 30, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

i'd lean towards the tx650m myself, that is because i like corsair

#

the toughpower grand RGB i've been told is good though

#

question is how reliable is the source

lofty pewter Jan 31, 2020, 4:50 AM

#

@tender root Seems like TXM is on average better so I'd go for that

tender root Jan 31, 2020, 6:57 PM

#

@cursive current your reasonable might not be our reasonable. Personally i am a fan of the fractal design node304

sinful hinge Jan 31, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

@primal remnant i have the Core V21 M-ATX version of this case. its great for the aspect that you do not have to worry about any possible GPU sag. downside to it is that you are extremely limited for cable management and need to make sure that your cable runs are on point if ou want the asthetics looking great.

So, I have an old crap 500w power supply. Yes, it gets the job done but the thing is really loud. I have a ryzen 2700x and an rx570, so I doubt I need anything more powerful, but I would like something that is quieter (and possibly something that won't break the bank). Any recommendations?

elfin trout Feb 1, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

Corsair RMx could be nice

vague hatch Feb 1, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

Looks really nice, but in my current position it would take me a while to scrounge up $120. Anything sub $100 thats good enough?

#

(also just a note: being modular is nice but not necessary)

faint solstice Feb 1, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

The cx 2017 series is well-rated but its non modular

tender root Feb 1, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

@vague hatch as @faint solstice said, the cx 2017 is a solid choice for you. (it is unlikely that your current one is modular, so it would not change anything except noise)

vague hatch Feb 1, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

yes, my current one isn't modular, so that doesn't affect me. Thanks for the recommendation

faint solstice Feb 1, 2020, 6:43 PM

Np, good luck

distant jetty Feb 1, 2020, 7:44 PM

#

I need a power supply 750. anyone got suggestions

#

under 95 if possible

#

on amazon a lot of them have 4 star reviews but some of the comments are negative

#

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Modular-Warranty-Compact-220-B3-0750-V1/dp/B071Y1NLZR/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_pl_foot_top?ie=UTF8

tender root Feb 1, 2020, 7:49 PM

#

@distant jetty question: what makes you say that you "need" a 750w psu?

lofty pewter Feb 1, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

There are no 750w PSUs worth buying under or at 95. If your PC requires a 750w PSU it'd have to be something like an OCed 9900k and 2080Ti or better. Basically $2500+ put into the PC. Your PSU cost should be proportional to the PC cost. If you have the money for such an expensive PC get a PSU that'll give clean power, has good protections, will last a long time, etc.

#

Also note, the only B3 that isnt trash is 650

#

any other can break due to a bad OPP setup

#

Wont damage the PC afaik. But still if the PSU can die that easily it's a bad buy

distant jetty Feb 1, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

I have a 2070 super, ryzen 5 3600

#

nothing oc

#

it suggested 750watt power supply this website. So what powersupply would you suggest then @lofty pewter

lofty pewter Feb 1, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

That's 460w of total power consumption

#

90w CPU + 300w GPU + 70w rest of system

distant jetty Feb 1, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

so would a 650w do any good

lofty pewter Feb 1, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

550/650 is good

distant jetty Feb 1, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-S12III-SSR-650GB3-Control-Warranty/dp/B07MWHRG99/ref=sr_1_8?crid=21TW4HC0Z41CU&keywords=pc%2Bpower%2Bsupply%2B650w&qid=1580589716&sprefix=pc%2Bpower%2Bsupply%2B65%2Caps%2C169&sr=8-8&th=1 this one looks good i think

lofty pewter Feb 1, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

No. S12/M12 lacks good quality, even if from one of the most reputable brands

#

Get Corsair CX if you want to save money (not CXM). Cooler Master MWE Gold for modular. Or Phanteks AMP or Corsair RM/RMx for best quality in that price range

distant jetty Feb 1, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B72W1VA/ref=twister_B0848DFQ4X?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 so the cx would be this one right

#

Ohh you said not the cx,

#

CXm

tender root Feb 1, 2020, 10:46 PM

@distant jetty cx for budget, you have to go further up the line for the good seasonic stuff

vague hatch Feb 1, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

How do I calculate total power consumption of the PC build I have?

tender root Feb 1, 2020, 11:04 PM

#

count plugs

#

that gives you the max it is possible for the parts to pull

lofty pewter Feb 1, 2020, 11:12 PM

#

CPU is eh for that, as it's almost always an 8 pin EPS

#

But for GPUs that usually works well

faint solstice Feb 1, 2020, 11:13 PM

#

How accurate is the pcpp tdp estimation?

lofty pewter Feb 1, 2020, 11:15 PM

#

That depends on the accuracy of what Intel, AMD, and Nvidia TDPs are

#

AMD CPUs have good TDP accuracy

#

The rest are eh

faint solstice Feb 1, 2020, 11:16 PM

#

Hmm

#

How far over should you go with your psu wattage

lofty pewter Feb 1, 2020, 11:17 PM

#

I research the component max wattage. CPU and GPU, and on average 70w for rest of system

tender root Feb 1, 2020, 11:18 PM

#

i have a personal preference for 15-20% over

but, that is for my own systems.

tender root Feb 2, 2020, 2:17 AM

you should be able to just power off the machine, open the case and trace where it (the specific fan that makes noise) plugs in and unplug it.

i thought maybe something was actually broken since it making so much noises

@plucky bough I dont know anything about the whining and how common it is. Could be quite a small issue. However, if it is an issue CM wouldnt fix it. They'd release a new model rather then customize the parts of the current model to fix the whining

2 slot width

that is the main downside

vapid pumice Feb 2, 2020, 5:52 PM

Dont think the Strix would fit, was wider than a phone book

tender root Feb 2, 2020, 5:52 PM

because a lot of coolers now are wide

vapid pumice Feb 2, 2020, 5:52 PM

you use air cooling for cpu in this case right

tender root Feb 2, 2020, 5:52 PM

aye

#

because IF you dont have a bunch of mech drives. there is clear access from the front fans to the back one

vapid pumice Feb 2, 2020, 5:53 PM

yea was just thinking one lol

Do y'all think the CM TD500 or H500 looks better

#

In your opinion.

faint solstice Feb 2, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

I think the h500 looks better imo but the td500 looks like it has better airflow with the mesh front

elfin trout Feb 3, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

h500 has mesh front too..?

lofty pewter Feb 3, 2020, 1:29 AM

original h500 has mesh, h500p didnt

lofty pewter Feb 4, 2020, 1:33 AM

not much info on it. From what I have gathered it isnt good

Corsair or evga for psu

elfin trout Feb 4, 2020, 2:32 AM

elfin trout Feb 4, 2020, 2:32 AM

RMx and RM especially

EVGA G2 is good

light wyvern Feb 4, 2020, 2:33 AM

Which one is better For budget

elfin trout Feb 4, 2020, 2:33 AM

Corsair CX and CXm are more budget options

light wyvern Feb 4, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

I’ll get the rm

#

Thanks for ur help

lofty pewter Feb 4, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

750w and budget dont go together

#

if your PC needs a 750w PSU, it'll be 2.5k+

elfin trout Feb 4, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

550w should be all you need

lofty pewter Feb 4, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

As such you should get a PSU that gives as clean power as you can within that budget

light wyvern Feb 4, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

So what about future upgrades

#

Should a 550 watt continue to work

lofty pewter Feb 4, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

Ever since dual GPUs have been removed from the consumer GPU lineup (GTX 690) GPUs power consumption has been 300w - 375w on the high end. 780Ti, 980Ti, 1080Ti, and 2080Ti. Dont see why they'd change that now

#

CPUs are going to stay 90w or so on standard consumer side most likely

#

but even if we go moderately high end on CPU and have it at say 120w
120w (CPU) + 375w (GPU) + 70w (rest of system) = 565w
Most decent PSUs can more then easily go above their rated spec. So a good 550w can easily sustain a really high end system

#

power consumption used in calculating wattage was from a 3700x and a 2080Ti

@distant jetty AMP series isnt exactly well known outside of people who look at PSUs afaik. Not by a brand that most people already know like Corsair/Seasonic so they dont have a whole lot of trust. However the AMP is really good quality for its price. About the cheapest of its quality.

I've had the same Corsair spec 1 case for a couple years now. It still serves me well, but you can see some signs of age and all of its feet are gone. Should I get a new case or is mine good enough?

you could try getting custom cables made

you COULD

make your own

i think molex makes the empty connectors, then you can just get a ton of connector pins

then get a coil of wire

get some pinouts

boom

marble girder Feb 5, 2020, 3:17 AM

lofty pewter Feb 5, 2020, 3:24 AM

you'd need to know the pin layout if you were to make your own. Not all PSUs follow the ATX layout on their side of the connections

prolly gonna be too expensive for me but just wondering, seeing as at least one of yall has probably done it before

tender root Feb 5, 2020, 7:32 AM

#

@scenic lance just search for a engraver in your local area, then go and have a chat with them, the cost is generally a combination result of how much of their time you use and the time it takes their machine setup to do the work

It doesn’t fall out or anything it just sits loosely and can be a pain when reattaching the power cord.

fully screwed in?

#

what case?

#

and psu?

naive pilot Feb 5, 2020, 11:27 AM

I believe it’s a cooler master master box lite with a EVGA 650 W. This is 2nd hand so my assumption is there was some sort of bracket originally that’s not there. There’s nothing for me to screw into.

sacred latch Feb 5, 2020, 11:28 AM

ah. yea that sounds like theres a bracket missing

I have a H500M and its got a really actually anoying bracket that has large thumbscrew things that attach to the case

elfin trout Feb 5, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

What about frame drops.

midnight dirge Feb 5, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

Ah, well what about the in game frame drops

lofty pewter Feb 5, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

what is CPU and GPU utilization when playing

midnight dirge Feb 5, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

I’ll have to check when i get home, i’m in school lunch atm

elfin trout Feb 5, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

Oh yea hei, 1% lows and avg frames are dependant on both CPU and GPU or is it like 1% lows are caused by CPU or smth?

midnight dirge Feb 5, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

i don’t understand

elfin trout Feb 5, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

(asking hei)

lofty pewter Feb 5, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

maybe, how much is it dropping

midnight dirge Feb 5, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

i’ll have to check that too, i dont have an fps counter i just feel it

#

it’s like 45-50 if i were to guess

#

and i wanted to stream the game but if this happens i will not be able to

lofty pewter Feb 5, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

It also could just need some Nvidia settings tweaking. I know for GTA V as an example, you need to goto Nvidia Control Panel to turn off things like shader cache, pre render fames to 1, some other thing, depending on your machine

surreal magnet Feb 5, 2020, 3:21 PM

#

1% and .1% lows are completely GPU bound

#

The CPU could effect it, but not by much

midnight dirge Feb 5, 2020, 3:21 PM

#

Alright, could you help me with that once i get home?

lofty pewter Feb 5, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

first gen ryzen on 2133 vs latest gen on 3600. Dont think that'd be a "small diff"

surreal magnet Feb 5, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

Like, I remember looking at a comparison of the 2060 super and 1080 on the same CPU, and they pushed similar avg fps, but the lows on the 2060 were much worse than on the 1080.

lofty pewter Feb 5, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

It is not completely bound to one or the other

#

just simply both

#

actually nvm

#

a lot of other things too

#

probs

surreal magnet Feb 5, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

It's definitely more so the GPU, but yes the CPU has a say in things too

#

Also game optimization

#

For certain platforms

But I dont know if it is compatible with it

surreal magnet Feb 7, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

tf are you dooin with that many watts???

ruby dock Feb 7, 2020, 3:30 AM

#

@surreal magnet it's not my build lol got a customer that wants a super computer even tho I recommended something a lot cheaper but he is stubborn. I never really ran into this before but he is wanting to run 2080ti 2 way sli which I know can take up a lot of watts especially with a amd threadripper

surreal magnet Feb 7, 2020, 3:30 AM

#

which threadripper

#

lets say he is ocing the heck out of a 2080ti

#

350W

#

x2

elfin trout Feb 7, 2020, 3:31 AM

#

you prob only need 1200w, like 400 per gpu, 300 for cpu max

surreal magnet Feb 7, 2020, 3:31 AM

#

plus a 225w cpu

ruby dock Feb 7, 2020, 3:31 AM

#

AMD 3970x

surreal magnet Feb 7, 2020, 3:31 AM

#

1200

#

yeah, what mr1111

elfin trout Feb 7, 2020, 3:31 AM

#

that cpu is 280w.

#

2080ti is like near 300 full load, but just to give it a bit of extra breathing room

surreal magnet Feb 7, 2020, 3:32 AM

#

350

elfin trout Feb 7, 2020, 3:32 AM

#

1200w is more than enough

surreal magnet Feb 7, 2020, 3:32 AM

#

^

ruby dock Feb 7, 2020, 3:32 AM

#

Hmm I just thought if he wanted to overclock it, it may needed min 1600 , would a 1300 watt do?

#

1200*

surreal magnet Feb 7, 2020, 3:32 AM

#

we assumed overclock

elfin trout Feb 7, 2020, 3:32 AM

#

yea

surreal magnet Feb 7, 2020, 3:32 AM

#

so its already factored in, 1200W

#

is ideal

elfin trout Feb 7, 2020, 3:32 AM

#

400w is a 50w increase from 350w

#

400*2+300+70=1170w max

surreal magnet Feb 7, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

and thats being generous

elfin trout Feb 7, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

Hei did some calculations and found 70w as a good place for everything else usually

#

yea

#

overclocking usually would be like +20w like max

ruby dock Feb 7, 2020, 3:33 AM

I cannot find a pcu that has 2 eps 8 pin and 1 atx 4 pin with a good brand. Again, I never really dealt with this issue. The mobo is a Asus zenith and has an extra pin.

atx 4pin?

#

I'm confused

#

unless Im reading this wrong

#

wait I think Im remembering wrong

surreal magnet Feb 7, 2020, 3:48 AM

so you need 2 8 pins and 1 4 pin?

#

i only see 2 8pins

ruby dock Feb 7, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

Note:The Asus Zenith II Extreme EATX sTRX4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Corsair HX Platinum 1200 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it.

pcpp is for communicating a generic build to anon technical person

yea idk why bloody NH-D15 se-am4 wasn't on pcpp

#

wasnt listed

#

but thats a great cooler

surreal magnet Feb 7, 2020, 3:58 AM

basically, when it comes time to actually order that parts is when you dont use pcpp

elfin trout Feb 7, 2020, 3:58 AM

yea

#

I bought over newegg mostly

surreal magnet Feb 7, 2020, 3:58 AM

but using it for most other things is fine

ruby dock Feb 7, 2020, 3:58 AM

I see @surreal magnet point too. Sometimes there isnt a lot to choose from when it comes to brands and components.

I typically use it just to double check I'm not being stupid

Hello, I am new to building, and recently inherited two sort of frankenstien computers, and would like to know how to identify the cases as a start.

#

is there any place on the case itself i could usually look to find the model?

tender root Feb 8, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

if you are lucky, there is a sticker on the bottom

muted snow Feb 8, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

the coolermaster branded one only has a serial number and a warranty void if removed sticker on the power

#

neither does the raidmaster

tender root Feb 8, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

the serial number should be possible to use for tracing what case it is

#

and posting permissions is something i am trying to get fixed for you :)

#

but until then, you can just post them in a pm to me

muted snow Feb 8, 2020, 5:04 PM

IDK why, but i like my secondary PC's Antec Solo case

tender root Feb 9, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

That was back when they did interesting cases (antec that is)

neon granite Feb 9, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

It's a shame that i am missing all of the HDD sleds for it

#

except for the 5.25 to 3.5 one that would have the Floppy/something else installed in it

tender root Feb 9, 2020, 1:45 AM

#

you should be able to get those sleds from ebay

#

those cases last forever

neon granite Feb 9, 2020, 1:45 AM

#

Eh, ebay isn't really easily accessible from Finland

tender root Feb 9, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

local variant then?

neon granite Feb 9, 2020, 1:49 AM

#

No local variants, either Aliexpress or similar. Ebay is too difficult to work with

#

Well there are local used parts marketplaces, but they don't really sell case pieces

tender root Feb 9, 2020, 1:51 AM

#

no no, not the case pieces by themselves. what you are looking for is that one guy that has a BUNCH of different cases

#

there is a good chance he has some of those cages also

hey everyone, good morning and a very happy / fun Sunday to you all. I am looking for a quiet/silent 650W PSU to replace in my PC. My buddy told me to get corsair, but this PSU calculator online recommended an EVGA.. which is quieter?

plucky bough Feb 9, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

There are a few EVGA and Corsair PSUs, what PSUs are we talking about ? @brittle vine

#

Thanks, happy Sunday to you too 🙂

brittle vine Feb 9, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

650W PSU, anyone that is QUIET/silent

#

I produce music/DJ, so a quiet PC is my #1 priority

plucky bough Feb 9, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

Do you have a particular budget for the PSU ?

brittle vine Feb 9, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

$150 canadian but would prefer paying less

plucky bough Feb 9, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

Are you sure you need 650W ?

brittle vine Feb 9, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

yes, used a PSU calculator

#

i have 3 Sata Drives, 1 SSD, 8core AMD CPU, 1 Blueray Drive and 2x8 GB DDR3 ram

#

and an AMD R9-280X video card

plucky bough Feb 9, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

I personally think around 600 (even less) would be enough but let's say 650W for safety

#

Corsair RM(x) have good fans (I heard), and EVGA G3 also. You could double check with other members from the server though

brittle vine Feb 9, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

yes, its between the Corsair RM(x) and the EVGA G3.. which is quieter?

plucky bough Feb 9, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

Plus they would deliver clean and safe power to your PC which is preferable too

#

I'm afraid you should wait for another person to answer. My bad, I don't know much about PSUs.

brittle vine Feb 9, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

i have all day, going to stay here and wait, price wise the G3 is about 40 Canadian cheaper

plucky bough Feb 9, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

Alright then. I wish you the best of luck. Have a nice Sunday !

brittle vine Feb 9, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

thank you EL Bobo, same to you my new discord amigo

candid moth Feb 9, 2020, 2:45 PM

@brittle vine bequiet has some quiet ones

brittle vine Feb 9, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

Thank you @candid moth

lofty pewter Feb 9, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

@brittle vine Okay so a few things. PSU calculators are generally wrong and over estimate by a lot. G3 is also much worse then RMx in terms of quality. Mainly protections wise

#

a 550w can last someone with a 3700x and 2080Ti with one SSD and one HDD

#

and your PC takes less wattage
Also RMx is cheaper

#

look up a bit Hei for budget etc

lofty pewter Feb 10, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

CXM is alright. It does have coil whine issues so unless you really want that semi modular for cheap and dont care about noise, then sure?

river palm Feb 10, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

I dont really mind modular or not

#

What difference does it make? I know you can remove the cables but

#

Modding purposes only?

tender root Feb 10, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

it is convenience when building

#

(for the kind of build you are doing that is)

river palm Feb 10, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

So Semi Modular is semi convinient

tender root Feb 10, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

yes

river palm Feb 10, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

nice

#

@lofty pewter a lot of people talk smack of the CXM series

tender root Feb 10, 2020, 9:58 PM

modular is beloved by people that build in tiny cases or people that build a LOT of systems

tender root Feb 10, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

you have a atx mainboard right?

lofty pewter Feb 10, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

I mean, first gen CXM was horrible. Second gen almost got everything right. But coil whine was an issue. So while it is good in performance it sucks in noise

river palm Feb 10, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

Ye full ATX

lofty pewter Feb 10, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

So CXM has never really had a fun time

tender root Feb 10, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

full atx = not a small build :)

vocal talon Feb 10, 2020, 10:02 PM

can confirm the cxm coil whine is ass

river palm Feb 10, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

ah shoot

#

I wonder if the turbines on my pc case will suppress the noise though.

tender root Feb 10, 2020, 10:03 PM

coil whine in general "cuts" through anything

river palm Feb 10, 2020, 10:03 PM

lofty pewter Feb 10, 2020, 10:03 PM

indigo relic Feb 10, 2020, 11:27 PM

Never skimp on the psu

#

If it decides it wants to die it might take your machine with it. Then you’ll be out hundreds

sacred latch Feb 10, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

as I said earlier. Saving 20.30. 50 bucks on something that could cost you 3-6 hundred in a failure is not a great risk to cost ratio

lofty pewter Feb 11, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

@scenic lance nope. That PSU cant even handle full load without failing. Luckily not a full on explosion. But still burnt electronics. Any PSU failure like this can mean voltages/amperage going whack and thus frying the PC. It also has a ton of amp on the 5v rail, which makes me feel like it's group regulated. Also a bad no no.
