Case fans are so easy to service, I've never understood why people get rid of them as soon as they start to hum.

What do you use, ohsigmachi?
3-in-1 oil?

eager monolith May 24, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

There is a valid point that a faulty PSU can damage other components and cost a ton in a high end build. But it's not a big enough of a risk for me to spend $200 more on a new PSU

elfin trout May 24, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

I've had bad experience with buying used, and warranty is wack so...
ebay is fine, they got good buyer's protection, but used in general is a risk.

cyan lark May 24, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

@tame fulcrum for case fans?

#

@eager monolith you can get a faulty new PSU. And the manufacturer will probably make the damage claim process so hard you'll just give up.

eager monolith May 24, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

I'm aware that you can and, like I said, I see the risk. But the $300 I saved on my fully functional PSU is worth it to me 🙂

tame fulcrum May 24, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

@cyan lark yes. You mentioned case fans easy to service. What's your "quick and dirty" method?

cyan lark May 24, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

@tame fulcrum I pull the back sticker (some have an additional rubber boot/plug) use a pick to remove the little delrin (or some type of plastic) C-clip, slide the shaft out the front and then give a quick wipe with some alcohol pads (easier to do before corona) or a quick blast with QD electronic cleaner. Then apply some cheap molybdenum grease I got at harbor freight, reassemble.

#

It's quite easy

tame fulcrum May 24, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

Ok. I've seen video of ppl just peeling the label and dropping 3-in-1 oil onto the shaft. But I'd imagine it'd eventually leak.

Ty for your summarized method. 👍

cyan lark May 24, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

@tame fulcrum I think that sounds like a bad idea. I doubt anyone shooting those vids has any idea what the original lubricant used in the fan bearing shell was, so there could for sure be some reactions that would at a minimum shorten the life of that type of "fix" and at worst cause the fan to seize.

#

It's best to get as much of the old lube out as possible.

I went with a Corsair CXM 550W 80+ Bronze PSU for my build after a vendor screwed me over with my order. It is a Ryzen 7 3700x, RTX 2070 Super, and air cooled with 4 case fans with the Ryzen Prism cooler. PCPP puts my estimated wattage at 344W. Do you think that I will have any problems with this PSU? Should I cancel my order and wait it out for 650W to come in stock?

slim venture May 25, 2020, 12:33 AM

#

no i think that'll be enough imo

golden kestrel May 25, 2020, 12:35 AM

Wattage wise, that psu is fine. Only problem is that cxm psus tend to have coil whine

Is that a bad choice? Reviews have stated that it's a rebrand of a reputable PSU.

scenic lance May 25, 2020, 1:45 AM

#

Eh, I'm might be being a bit wicked towards them. When they started out they were pretty poor. Apparently they've been improving, but I still see sudden failures a bit more often than I'd be comfortable with.

lofty pewter May 25, 2020, 1:52 AM

I'd take a CX650 over that

which kinda makes it "eh" for upgrades

golden kestrel May 25, 2020, 1:53 AM

Oh.
Well I saw it got restocked recently and had a high tier list rating

lofty pewter May 25, 2020, 1:54 AM

ye, may have cleaner power in some parts of it but I mean, kinda small changes for the trade off of making it incompatible with other parts

For sure

lofty pewter May 25, 2020, 1:55 AM

tho I do wonder if Seasonic sends a replacement for it if you do have issues

looks like a better deal than the rosewill

#

Is it worth going with that one over the Rosewill?

#

I mean, it's the same price, but this is my first build, and I am not too familiar with brand reputations.

#

Eh, I think I'll stick with the Rosewill. I save a little bit on delivery, and have to request a cancellation anyways.

So i have a 700w smart thermaltake, its the newer model but no rgb, i guess people are saying its a no no but i wont be able to get a new PSU anytime soonz i havnt been able to use it yet, what should i do? Wait for my pc to catch fire and get a new one with the no money i have?

@Itz.SuperBoy#5446 People are saying that your PSU isn't trustworthy?

quick laurel May 25, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

I guess people say that it sometimes dies after a year and on the rare occasion can take some of your parts with it

#

Ive seen reviews of people saying they've had it for 3 or more years, reviews of people saying its good, then reviews of people saying it dies after a year

#

It has a 5 year warranty

#

So if anything i can just get my money back and get a new one if it breaks?

#

The question is, what is the proportion of people saying that the PSU failed them? That's what I go by the majority of the time. If it's barely any chunk of the population, then I generally believe it's reputable

quick laurel May 25, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

Its like 1/10

#

Maybe less

#

Idk

#

Alot of people dont say it dies but alot of then say its trash

median grove May 25, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

If a PSU fails them, they're writing a review, 100%. People who have positive perceptions of the product typically write fewer reviews

quick laurel May 25, 2020, 3:05 AM

I just dont know if i should upgrade or not

median grove May 25, 2020, 3:13 AM

#

Someone is going to be much more adamant about something if they have an anecdote, whether it be positive or negative

#

In all likelihood, it'll work fine. That risk of the PSU failing is minimal. If it's heightened, probably not by much

quick laurel May 25, 2020, 3:20 AM

I was just a little worried, there were a decent amount of peoppe saying they were aware of reviews saying it dies in like a year

#

If thats true ill probably have it replaced by then

median grove May 25, 2020, 3:22 AM

#

One 1-star review is saying that it doesn't really provide as much power as it claims

lofty pewter May 25, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

@median grove TT Smart seems to have a 9% chance to not only fail, but kill another component/catch fire

#

plus is group regulated and is questionably missing protections

median grove May 25, 2020, 3:24 AM

#

Where did you see that info?

lofty pewter May 25, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

I looked through the reviews for failure chance/consequence. As for group regulation, someone else determined that based off internal pics. As for protections, little info on it but the small amount of info I did find had it missing protections

And if it had a percent of fire like that you think it wouldnt be on shelfs

median grove May 25, 2020, 3:27 AM

Is there a particular site to visit which can actually indicate the perceived chance of failure for every PSU? Now I'm curious

quick laurel May 25, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

^

lofty pewter May 25, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

Comparing the failure chance/consequence to other PSUs like say CX, RM, G3, etc Smart seems to be slightly high percentage wise of just failing. But, the main issue is the amount of 1 star/egg reviews complaining about fires/dead components

#

no there isnt, you just look and analyze the reviews yourself

median grove May 25, 2020, 3:29 AM

Someone should really create a site for that

over here in Canada it's like $0.11 CAD for one kwh. Divide by like 20 due to only using 50w rather then kw then that's $0.0055 CAD per hour. Or about $16.07 CAD per year. Cuz it's CAD and not USD prices are a bit higher

for 8 hours of intense use every day

oh wait now it works. Anyways yee, I'd usually say go for 550w but none are in stock I'd recommend

quick laurel May 25, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

What about 600w

lofty pewter May 25, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

what 600w PSU tho?

quick laurel May 25, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

Idk lmao

lofty pewter May 25, 2020, 4:15 AM

#

600w is fine, but no 600w PSU that is decent in quality, price, and is in stock is worth buying

quick laurel May 25, 2020, 4:18 AM

#

What about this? https://www.newegg.com/evga-550-b5-220-b5-0550-v1-550w/p/N82E16817438167?item=N82E16817438167&nm_mc=knc-googleadwords-mobile&cm_mmc=knc-googleadwords-mobile-_-power supplies-_-evga-_-17438167&source=googleshopping

Its modular, too

#

Probably good

lofty pewter May 25, 2020, 4:22 AM

#

B5 has no real info/reviews

#

most of EVGAs midrange isnt really worth buying

#

When I built my PC, I purchased a higher wattage than recommended, just to be on the safe side

quick laurel May 25, 2020, 4:30 AM

#

My psu currently is also way higher then i need

#

And supposedly a fire hazard

#

But is that 7% chance of failure the percent in general or is that just 7% over other PSUs

soft swan May 25, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

Are all psus just out of stock?

lofty pewter May 25, 2020, 4:33 AM

#

It's like 9% failure rate for Smart and most seem to be catastrophic. Others seem to be like 6% but pretty small, DOA and mostly has the PC be safe

quick laurel May 25, 2020, 4:34 AM

#

Hm

#

This seriously sucks dude

#

Im still going to build it and use it for a day just to test my hardware but i guess ill have to get rid of it

#

I really wish i knew this

#

so, i asked this question before but at the time it was unsure if i would be able to make a purchase. Now that I have some spare cash (not a whole lot, but enough, i hope), I was wondering if anyone knew any good PC cases. The one I have is not in the best shape and has not aged well.
One that i found (al though I'm not sure if it's good or not) is this Cougar MX330-G

good buy or is there anything better for a reasonable increase in price?

i'm desperately looking for a new PSU off of PCP but everything seems to be out of stock, on backorder from newegg or other websites, or being gouged by third parties on Amazon

mystic sleet May 25, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

what budget

dire stump May 25, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

my current system is estimated at 384 watts (r5-3600x, 1060 6gb, 32gb ddr4 3200, 1 m.2, 1 sata ssd, 2 1tb sata hdd) and i've set my bare minimum for psu's to be about 550 watts

mystic sleet May 25, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

eh you could get away with 450 just ffine but okay

dire stump May 25, 2020, 8:14 PM

i'd say bare minimum 75 dollars

i need to do some quick checking to see how much cash I got

The Rosewill is Newegg's in-house brand. They have rebranded PSUs so it can be hit or miss, but the Capstone is based off of a Super Flower PSU, which is good from my research.

for many, many different usecases

#

7980xe at 5ghz puts out an ungodly amount of heat

#

pulls 800W+

#

lol

#

hence why its delided, liquid metal, with a custom copper IHS

#

should do direct die

#

but im lazy

elfin trout May 27, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

how does direct die work, iirc just no IHS?

balmy badge May 27, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

yep, putting the waterblock directly on the CPU die

#

no IHS

elfin trout May 27, 2020, 3:22 AM

#

damn

#

can't you crush the die?

balmy badge May 27, 2020, 3:22 AM

#

yes

#

i have almost all the stuff to do it

#

just... my block mounts are too tall

#

and i havent bothered to look for the right mounting hardware i need to get it close enough

#

probably would want to upgrade my CPU block too

#

i have the 2nd best block

#

not the best

#

lol

elfin trout May 27, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

I saw some more custom mounting hardware for cpu blocks a bit back, but it might've been for am4

#

for like small adjustments

meager spoke May 27, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

this might be a dumb question but can a psu bottleneck your other components?

vocal talon May 27, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

if the pc was drawing too much power it'd just turn off

balmy badge May 27, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

uh... depends on the PSU

meager spoke May 27, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

aight okay thanks, just making sure even though i havent had any problems, my psu is fine.

elfin trout May 27, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

(I mean theres bad PSUs that are missing those protections...)

vocal talon May 27, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

turning off is the best case scenario

elfin trout May 27, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

but no issues if there's adequate protection and wattage.

balmy badge May 27, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

but yeah, as long as you're not buying poor quality units or pushing them beyond their max rated wattage, you really shouldnt ever have a problem

meager spoke May 27, 2020, 3:29 AM

i havent, just making sure the psu that came with my ibuypower pc is fine, even though ive been using it for a year without any problems

He assisted me in my build, and he now realizes that it really isn't as treacherous as he initially thought

crimson galleon May 27, 2020, 4:01 AM

Ah, I see

#

So, is your goals airflow, size, looks?

i dont think that case has very much airflow

crimson galleon May 27, 2020, 4:01 AM

*yeah

#

That's what I was thinking

#

Seems a bit pricy for that case

Any recommendations then? Any reliable ATX mid-tower will do. He doesn't really care about aesthetic

@median grove focus G if you can find it at ~60$

elfin trout May 27, 2020, 4:06 AM

There's also other budget options like one of the couger cases at like 50$ but they're iffy, never fully looked into them, just look decent on paper

chrome iris May 27, 2020, 5:33 PM

Unless you wanted a higher wattage if you're planning on upgrading in the next 4 years or so

#

That case looks very clean, but has restricted airflow

autumn night May 27, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

i just chose the first one i saw

#

do u guys have any reccomendations for cases?

chrome iris May 27, 2020, 5:34 PM

at around $70?

which one would u reccomend? i think i like the cougar

#

and zalman

chrome iris May 27, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

Cougar seems to be a little better

#

I think Zalman has some wack cable management

#

You are going to need to buy fans for them though, remember that

autumn night May 27, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

buy fans for the cougar?

chrome iris May 27, 2020, 5:43 PM

At least 1 for intake becuase I think the cougar already has an exhaust fan

vocal tree May 27, 2020, 5:43 PM

I'd say get that Arctic one, then take the included fan and put it on the front, and the arctic fan on the back

chrome iris May 27, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

Then it looks like you can only have a 65w TDP processor

#

I'd just stick with the Ryzen 1600. It's still good

#

And the RTX 2060 versions are out of stock

elfin trout May 27, 2020, 6:03 PM

#

@chrome iris pretty sure it'll be 1600ae not 1600af so if you could get a 3300x/3600 that'd be good

#

3600 has a tdp of 65w

chrome iris May 27, 2020, 6:03 PM

Well I mean I know it's a 1600ae

#

Yeah

elfin trout May 27, 2020, 6:03 PM

how does wifi and audio work on PC stuff

like do I need speakers for my pc? and can I just automaticcaly connect to my wifi?

elfin trout May 27, 2020, 6:05 PM

Audio on a laptop is 99% of the time from the sound chip on the motherboard

Oh for a desktop?

autumn night May 27, 2020, 6:06 PM

yea

elfin trout May 27, 2020, 6:06 PM

You either need speakers of just headphones

for sound

autumn night May 27, 2020, 6:06 PM

#

ok

elfin trout May 27, 2020, 6:06 PM

#

some (I'd say 5% of ) monitors have small like 3 watt speakers built in

autumn night May 27, 2020, 6:06 PM

#

oh alright

#

and what about wifi?

#

does that work the same

elfin trout May 27, 2020, 6:06 PM

#

You either need a motherboard with a wifi card in it, or you'll need a dedicated wifi card

autumn night May 27, 2020, 6:07 PM

how do i know if my motherboard has a wifi card or not?

elfin trout May 27, 2020, 6:07 PM

It usually says

#

Motherboards with wifi is more expensive than without

autumn night May 27, 2020, 6:08 PM

should i just buy a wifi card or get a dif motherboard

elfin trout May 27, 2020, 6:08 PM

because you could just use ethernet too

how close is your PC to your router

not too far

elfin trout May 27, 2020, 6:10 PM

like across the house or in the same room

autumn night May 27, 2020, 6:10 PM

like 20ft maybe

i live in a very small house

vocal tree May 27, 2020, 6:10 PM

#

eh 20ft might make it not worth bothering with

autumn night May 27, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

but my problem is how would i hide the ethernet cable so nobody trips over it

elfin trout May 27, 2020, 6:11 PM

yea

that's why it's usually not worth bothering with if you don't have the router next to you or can drill a hole in the wall

@elfin trout it says it has a compatability warning tho

elfin trout May 27, 2020, 6:29 PM

In this case, you can ignore it, it's a redundant warning on all b450 boards, but as you can see from manufacturer's page, it's compatible.

Okay I just ordered a ryzen 7 3700x and the asus tuf plus gaming b450 and i'm going to order some 16gb ram from ballistix (crucial). This is my first build and I'm stressed even if I know what i'm doing

It doesn't have many regional sellers, but it does a decent job telling price and compatibility

@worthy crescent I mean use the website to check prices and avaliability (Only a few sellers but still) but it still can be useful for estimating prices parts should be, for example: this should be around 135 euros.

Does anyone recommend a good case with really good fans and good airflow management?

#

I plan to do future upgrades in October if that matters as well. And I currently have a rtx 2070, ryzen 7 1700 (will be upgrading to 4th gen in October) my power supply is a 600watt, I have 16gb ram.

so I've had this issue forever but never really cared to try to fix it. One of my front USB3 ports does not work. I am using a Meshify C case, and the internal blue USB connector is indeed connected to my mobo.

I can plug anything into one of the ports, and it will provide power as well as transfer data. However, the other port does not even provide power.

#

I've checked the port with a flashlight and nothing appears to be damaged in it.

#

I've also turned off Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power for all three USB Root Hubs that appear in devmgmt.

flat eagle May 28, 2020, 10:15 AM

which mobo?

does it have more than one 3.0 header?

Shipping to france these days is crazy expensive, so if they don't cover it I don't think it's worth it. But they might, so I'll give it a try.

What would be the cheapest way for me to add more debug LEDs (the colorful variety), that preferably I can control?

Can I power that from my PSU?

flat eagle May 28, 2020, 11:45 AM

not sure

#

I think some arduino have usb power?

#

or maybe use a ras pie

echo socket May 28, 2020, 11:49 AM

Can I power USB inside my case?

Without using up a USB slot.

sharp fox May 28, 2020, 12:36 PM

maybe with a usb header on the mobo there are some adapters for internal usb

Either that or the enthoo pro m from phantek

What is it?

silver dagger May 30, 2020, 2:11 AM

it might be something brushing up against the fan

lofty pewter May 30, 2020, 2:30 AM

Most likely the fan brushing up against something. Like the side of its cage, getting wobblily and hitting the underside of the support beams for the fan motor/fan itself, hitting the top of the PSU vent, getting unbalanced and messing with something inside the fan and its bearings, etc

No you have to get a 10000 watt PSU

Otherwise you won't be able to power it

Joking aside, idk how PCP estimates wattage

round pike May 30, 2020, 5:15 PM

It just adds up the TDP from the components

Apparently you can do something like 3950X + 2080Ti on a 550 watt PSU, from what some of the techies have told me
