think so

elfin trout Oct 15, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

I'm taking a look around.

#

@teal creek no info from PSU tier list or sources, it's likely you'd be better off with like a Focus GM 650w.

lofty pewter Oct 16, 2020, 4:00 AM

looking at used deals for cases, found a PSU+case combo. PSU seem fun

@elfin trout so I got another question. So I secured a Corsair case for a really good price it comes with one fan so I'll need to buy a pack of some more to better the airflow. If I picked up some 3 pin fans instead of 4, is that gonna be pain to connect like ill need adaptors or is it fine?

elfin trout Oct 16, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

no

#

3 pin dc plugs into 4 pin pwm just fine

unreal garden Oct 16, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

So it'll be a simple connection?

#

Why people dislike 3 pin?

#

I don't care about rgb on my fans I just care more about functionality to keep everything cool

#

Tryna save money where I can

elfin trout Oct 16, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

doesn't offer as fine control

#

@unreal garden go for Arctic P12 (or P14 for 140mm) if you can

#

great fans for cheap

unreal garden Oct 16, 2020, 2:36 PM

#

That's funny I was actually looking at those on amazon lol

#

Was gonna slap one for intake and an exhaust maybe the 140s

#

In addition to the corsair rgb it came with

#

I've seen some people complain about the 175R but it was legit 30 dollars on newegg this week with the 20 dollar rebate so I figured I'd save some money and go for a cheaper case even tho the front airflow isn't the best I could secure some fans on the top possibly

wintry apex Oct 16, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

My friend is waiting to build his system till he can get a 3070 but i am worried about the inflated prices of psus and was wondering if he should buy the psu now or wait to see if the shortage gets better

elfin trout Oct 16, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

There is no PSU shortage that I know of....?

#

Like @wintry apex I don't know why, but I've been hearing about a "shortage" despite a lot of good PSUs still being in stock, even RM650x, a great PSU that likes to sell out, is in stock.
https://www.newegg.com/corsair-rmx-series-rm650x-2018-cp-9020178-na-650w/p/N82E16817139232

#

Focus plus GM, the PSU I've liked to recommend for the last month or so, still in stock at a good price.

wintry apex Oct 16, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

there was a shortage because of the unfortunate events of this year and lack of importing this summer

elfin trout Oct 16, 2020, 3:21 PM

#

oh you mean during the quarantine? like 4 months ago?

wintry apex Oct 16, 2020, 3:21 PM

where i am imported goods are still on short supply

elfin trout Oct 16, 2020, 3:21 PM

PSU stock has been pretty good for the last few months lol

there IS stock :)

elfin trout Oct 16, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

Yea I haven't seen PSU stock go bad for the last few months

#

like recently AMP was even in stock

wintry apex Oct 16, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

it is not the stock it is the inflated prices

elfin trout Oct 16, 2020, 3:22 PM

What

#

I just linked 2 PSUs a few messages ago

#

that are at good prices

#

for good PSUs

It says high airflow but I just see a big glass panel in the front

#

Also $250?

vocal tartan Oct 16, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

looks like a waste of money to me

#

a big one

young osprey Oct 16, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

It would be good if you need lots and lots of drives for some reason I guess

#

But for a normal home pc, it's a waste

waxen patrol Oct 16, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

well right now

#

i have the td500

#

and it wont let me top mount my aio

#

and also i have to cram wires just to get the back case plate back on

#

young osprey Oct 16, 2020, 9:47 PM

elfin trout Oct 16, 2020, 9:48 PM

waxen patrol Oct 16, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

@elfin trout wdym?

#

#

elfin trout Oct 16, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

You're kidding me

#

What ram did you get

tribal badge Oct 16, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

Can i put custom modular cable in a semi modular power supply?

#

like in a masterwatt 650?

young osprey Oct 16, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

@waxen patrol that means your RAM is more than 44mm max height

waxen patrol Oct 16, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

corsair vengance

#

the rgb pro

#

or w.e

young osprey Oct 16, 2020, 10:03 PM

waxen patrol Oct 16, 2020, 10:04 PM

waxen patrol Oct 16, 2020, 10:16 PM

i got the money, money aint the issue

#

my case right now the issue

#

😛

elfin trout Oct 16, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

@waxen patrol BRUH

#

That issue is only because of your ram

waxen patrol Oct 16, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

well i have 4 sticks of ram, replacing those would cost $200

elfin trout Oct 16, 2020, 10:18 PM

You can just get like ANY KIT THAT'S NOT CORSAIR VENGEANCE and it'll work
That's one of like 2 kits I know that are actually wide

waxen patrol Oct 16, 2020, 10:18 PM

might aswell get a nicer case

elfin trout Oct 16, 2020, 10:18 PM

elfin trout Oct 16, 2020, 10:19 PM

Screw Corsair

#

I used to like them

#

But the more I know about crap, the less I like them

#

First ram looked good, until I know that and how Vengeance lpx is just a moshpit of different dies

#

Then Headset looked good, until I looked into audiophile crap

waxen patrol Oct 16, 2020, 10:20 PM

i have the corsair virtuogoso headset

elfin trout Oct 16, 2020, 10:20 PM

because most of them are "good enough"

elfin trout Oct 16, 2020, 10:23 PM

It's like every other thing Corsair makes looks good, but are actually kinda bad

ah

lofty pewter Oct 17, 2020, 5:01 AM

If you really want to be as cheap as possible

then wait until EVGA B Stock (refurbished sale) and get the 500w BR for like $29

Hi! I’m looking for a case and would appreciate some suggestions. I’m looking for a case that’s great for airflow, has great cable management capabilities, and it would be nice if it has glass side panels but that’s at the end of my priorities

#

Oh, and if possible, I’d prefer if it includes great fans

#

My budget is up to around $150

north monolith Oct 17, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

A good case is a cooler master td500 mesh

#

Has 3 fans in front

#

And is 100

teal creek Oct 17, 2020, 4:24 PM

That’s the case most people will recommend

It has zip ties for cable management

I would recommend the corsair rmx 750w tho

native locust Oct 17, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

Some partner cards have a 650W recommendation and some have 750W

#

I already have the 700BR and am upgrading to a 3070

#

Although ive heard its known for power spikes

#

Im just worried its not enough

daring marsh Oct 17, 2020, 4:41 PM

#

Its enough

@slow briar LianLi Lancool 2 Mesh, Phanteks P500a or P400a mesh, Bequiet 500DX, CoolerMaster H500 or TD500 (mesh)

native locust Oct 17, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

H500 is a great case it is what I have only problem i have with it is it’s HUGE

young osprey Oct 17, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

I have one too 🙂

#

its about as big as i can go before i say a case is too big

native locust Oct 17, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

I was going to get Phanteks p400a but it was out of stock so I got h500

#

It’s a great case tho

young osprey Oct 17, 2020, 6:43 PM

i like that 200mm look

native locust Oct 17, 2020, 6:43 PM

Yeah

young osprey Oct 17, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

or should I wait longer for prices to drop

elfin trout Oct 18, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

That's a really weird seller @scenic lance

#

Price is good, but I do NOT trust that seller

scenic lance Oct 18, 2020, 2:49 AM

#

Yeah I really don't either. I just dont have any idea when psu's are going to be normally priced again and im getting a little desperate lol

elfin trout Oct 18, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

I mean they're pretty normal price rn

#

Seasonic Focus GM 650w for 107$ for example

scenic lance Oct 18, 2020, 2:51 AM

#

Is that fr normal? All my friends who I'm asking for advice on my build are saying they got theirs $10-15 cheaper one or two years ago

elfin trout Oct 18, 2020, 2:53 AM

#

@scenic lance I mean it depends on the model, and for example, I'm pretty sure RM 750 was ~120$ before covid

scenic lance Oct 18, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

yeah and i guess the seller too. Prices on newegg are varying by a lot and the only difference it seems is who's selling it

tender root Oct 18, 2020, 3:37 AM

#

@scenic lance check price history on pcpartpicker for parts

#

you will see that price goes up and down all the time

#

and prices are basically back to normal for most parts

scenic lance Oct 18, 2020, 3:46 AM

#

@tender root do you think that 650w is enough for a 3070 system or should I be going higher? Im just looking at the prices for 750 but if 650 works then I should be fine.

tender root Oct 18, 2020, 3:56 AM

#

well, a 750 AMP can be had for 116

#

and at that price. i dont see a reason to not go that path

#

but a 650 should be enough

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fq4BD3/phanteks-amp-750-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ph-p750g_us01 <- thats the one i am talking about @scenic lance

what do you think about this case "Cooler Master MasterBox TD500" compared to the "Corsair 4000D Airflow"?

elfin trout Oct 18, 2020, 2:23 PM

#

Td500 mesh?

#

Both are great

#

4000d only comes with 2 fans

gritty violet Oct 18, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

yes mesh

outer spoke Oct 18, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

Been looking at the td500 mesh anyone know what fans it comes with, plan on buying another 3 for rear and top exhaust

golden kestrel Oct 18, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

Theyre unique to the case iirc. Basically just a MF120R but not quite as powerful. Good fans tho, I have em lol

outer spoke Oct 18, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

Ah unfortunate was hoping to get matching fans

golden kestrel Oct 19, 2020, 1:37 AM

Nobody would be able to tell a difference if you got MF120s tho

Because I might start swapping a lot of them >:D

#

@mellow field to start off, Since you're going to wait until Ryzen 5600x, you'll be able to wait for RTX 3070.

but to answer the psu question @mellow field, 650-ish watt imo is a good option. So something like the Phantek AMP series.

it's my fault, because I forgot to add amp to my PSU list

what would be an alternative to the 3070

because im sure it would be sold out

elfin trout Oct 19, 2020, 5:18 PM

None atm

RDNA2 cards

tender root Oct 19, 2020, 5:20 PM

considering the current amount of "things soon to arrive"

buying a 5700xt makes little logical sense

@mellow field can you give us your budget in SGD?

mellow field Oct 19, 2020, 5:22 PM

preferably under 1700

maybe 1800 if its really worth it

how long would it take for the aftermarket ones to come out

elfin trout Oct 19, 2020, 5:26 PM

Usually same time

#

at MSRP or above.

mellow field Oct 19, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

and roughly how much difference in price

#

oh

tender root Oct 19, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

all of those questions and many more, will be answered by the launch reviews :)

elfin trout Oct 19, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

For example, RTX 3080 Eagle and Ventus OC in the US is at MSRP, 700$, but cards like the RTX 3080 ftw3 and other similar cards are above at around 800$ USD

vocal talon Oct 19, 2020, 5:27 PM

the base model for aib models are actually msrp this time but yes expect to pay 50-100usd more

Ahhh okay, gotcha

elfin trout Oct 19, 2020, 5:39 PM

#

@mellow field how do you feel about the looks of that? Can you double check pricing with more local sellers?

mellow field Oct 19, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

for one the wd ssd is not that much cheaper with the samsung evo 970 for some reason

#

but why that mobo though

#

i heard asrock wasnt one of the better brands for mobo

#

except for their steel legend

vocal talon Oct 19, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

depends on the model not the manu

mellow field Oct 19, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

yeah

#

was the b550 tomahawk that i chose not good?

vocal talon Oct 19, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

and while its not the worlds greatest motherboard, its pretty good for the price and the sg motherboard market is pretty expensive

mellow field Oct 19, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

i suppose so

#

i would prefer an atx board honestly

#

for future upgrades and stuff

tender root Oct 19, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

@mellow field unless you plan on going bonkers with add-in cards in the future, it does not matter one bit

mellow field Oct 19, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

would heat be more of a problem for matx boards?

tender root Oct 19, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

no

mellow field Oct 19, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

how is the pro 4 in comparison with the b550m bazooka?

tender root Oct 19, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

ask that question in a different way @mellow field : How does the IO on one board vs the other work for YOU?

#

(boards are basically all okay is what i am saying here)

#

what matters is if you have the ports you want/need

mellow field Oct 19, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

this is my first time building so i have no idea whats needed

tender root Oct 19, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

do you have any usb C devices?

#

do you have 20 usb devices?

#

do you have a need/want for wifi?

#

etc etc

#

its how you "connect" with the board that matters :)

mellow field Oct 19, 2020, 5:58 PM

ahh so i need an emotional bond with it

tender root Oct 19, 2020, 5:58 PM

elfin trout Oct 19, 2020, 7:23 PM

@mellow field well, I'm more interested in the pricing :D
We can deal with the specific motherboard choices and such later

mellow field Oct 19, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

um its about 1825 if i switch out the case for a phanteks eclipse p400a

elfin trout Oct 19, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

I mean

#

How do the other part pricing look (since they're on Newegg right now with really high shipping prices) compared to other retailers?

mellow field Oct 19, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

yeah

#

1825 is from local sellers

elfin trout Oct 19, 2020, 7:31 PM

#

Ah alright

urban bone Oct 19, 2020, 10:09 PM

So I can’t make my mind up on a case and it’s driving me crazy. what do people think to these

Corsair 4000 airflow
Corsair 4000x
Phantoms p400a
Cooler master td500 mesh

elfin trout Oct 19, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

4000d airflow and td500 mesh are the 2 I would narrow it down to.

urban bone Oct 19, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

I want white but it’s hard to get a full white set up 😂 but the black airflow has really tinted panel but I’m not 100% on the td mesh yet

elfin trout Oct 19, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

I'm liking the 4000d airflow after GN review on it, slap another fan or two on and it's great.

urban bone Oct 19, 2020, 10:23 PM

#

What you think buy a 3 pack of rgb fans add them to the front and put a fan at the back?

elfin trout Oct 19, 2020, 10:25 PM

#

@urban bone it comes with 2

#

One front one back

urban bone Oct 19, 2020, 10:25 PM

#

I’m going to buy some rgb fans too

scenic lance Oct 20, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

Is it bad to have a case with no rear fan? Like a td500 with the 3 in the front and top radiator and that's it?

elfin trout Oct 20, 2020, 12:14 PM

#

@scenic lance just look at GN testing, they do testing on cases with STOCK CONFIG (NO ADDED FANS)

scenic lance Oct 20, 2020, 12:18 PM

So it's fine

elfin trout Oct 20, 2020, 12:24 PM

so why not

elfin trout Oct 20, 2020, 7:04 PM

I'd have to see when people actually get it

chrome iris Oct 20, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

275r so spendy tho

elfin trout Oct 20, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

but it really suses me out

#

3 fans

chrome iris Oct 20, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

id rather spend more money on a PSU (+2yrs warranty and much better quality) than a case

elfin trout Oct 20, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

we have different priorities then

#

I'd spend more on a case for airflow for gains

chrome iris Oct 20, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

I'd have to see when people actually get it
what the 275r or the montech

elfin trout Oct 20, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

than more on a PSU that works

#

montech

chrome iris Oct 20, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

i have it

elfin trout Oct 20, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

how long?

chrome iris Oct 20, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

for how long?

elfin trout Oct 20, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

and temps?

chrome iris Oct 20, 2020, 7:05 PM

like a month or two

#

temps were fine. i dont remember them i put a build in it a long time ago

oh

chrome iris Oct 20, 2020, 7:05 PM

with a 750 TI single fan and i3-2120 on a stock cooler cpu was like 70ish i wanna say and gpu i dont remember

*650 TI

elfin trout Oct 20, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

suses me out still

chrome iris Oct 20, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

its really not that bad

#

just kinda skinny and cable management coube be better

#

*could

elfin trout Oct 20, 2020, 7:06 PM

#

meh

chrome iris Oct 20, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

anyways what im saying is BR has been going downa nd down the tier list

#

wouldnt be surprised if it ended up in tier D

elfin trout Oct 20, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

?

#

wdym

chrome iris Oct 20, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

the BR

#

used to be tier B

#

then C

#

and now its the (low priority unit) in tier C

elfin trout Oct 20, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

It used to be in B- iirc

#

then C

#

low priority doesn't really mean much to me tbh

chrome iris Oct 20, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

its really close to tier D

#

it means minor lack of info or minor issues

#

also either way you can get an S12III for like $5 more

#

or tell them about B stock idk

elfin trout Oct 20, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

what

#

S12iii sucks from what I've heard

chrome iris Oct 20, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

does it

#

hol up lemme see

#

cause actually idk

elfin trout Oct 20, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

go check

#

because despite tier being decent

#

iirc it bad

chrome iris Oct 20, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

i do remember hei talking about it

elfin trout Oct 20, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

I can go check BR again later

#

but reviews on BR haven't changed

#

and iirc it's decent and doesn't have issues

#

just big poor ripple or smth

chrome iris Oct 20, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

i havent been able to find anything on BR when i looked

#

maybe im just stupid

#

a lot of people do say its a bomb

tender root Oct 20, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

or maybe all the testers blew up

chrome iris Oct 20, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

dont get me wrong i love the BR

#

but i just dont think its suitable for a higher end system

#

is what im trying to say

Hello. I had a very very strict budget for a PSU so I picked the cheapest one that I figured would do the job and had a few PCIe connectors. An RTX2060 and i7 plus a cheap PSU definitely isn't a good idea, but it is for a pc I intend to flip so cheaper the better.

I found ...

chrome iris Oct 20, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

low tier caps

#

but 12v rail is good

#

ok wait

#

caps are better than originally thought

#

12v rail thing is not totally accurate

#

it is DC-DC

#

which is good

#

idk what double foreword means

#

boutta send a BR to jonnyguru so they can fully review it

#

lol

#

the reason its on the lack of info thing is prolly that 12v rail

elfin trout Oct 20, 2020, 7:22 PM

chrome iris Oct 20, 2020, 7:22 PM

so from what that says

its ok

but then again on jonnyguru's site they rated the W1 8/10

and thats a crappy psu

can getting an overkill psu for your system affect your pc?
@outer plaza how much overkill we talkin here?

lofty pewter Oct 21, 2020, 7:58 PM

#

depends if it's "overkill" or overkill. As in, the bad overkill (just buying a high wattage PSU with no regards to actual quality) vs the good overkill (buying a high wattage PSU with actually good quality).
Note: company, rating, or wattage dont determine quality

Quick question on the p500a case I was reading through the specs for fan configuration and saw that it says 3 140mm on top but only a 360mm radiator is this just a mistake or can it fit 3 140s?

just look at the specs and scroll down :P

only 360mm rad but fits 3x140mm fans

static aspen Oct 25, 2020, 3:41 AM

#

So it can actually do 3 140s on top thank you

#

I was in the specs and saw that but didn't make sense that it wouldn't be able to do a 420 mm rad if it fits 3 140 fans thank you though

does anyone know a good case for 60$ or less with 4/3 rgb fans?

novel flax Oct 25, 2020, 4:20 PM

@scenic lance ur better off looking for used

scenic lance Oct 25, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

i already did so but there a not many good deals

novel flax Oct 25, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

well

#

for 60$, you'll have a hard time finding cases WITH more than 2 fans, let alone RGB or with high rpm

#

@scenic lance

#

90$ is tdmesh 500, which is the absolute cheapest I would go for 3 case fans with rgb

the Corsair Carbide Series Spec-Alpha is 70 but i dont realy like the front

Question- If a GPU is listed as 320W, does that mean it consumes 320W per hour?

young osprey Oct 26, 2020, 12:02 AM

#

I think wattage is an instantaneous measurement

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

Yes

#

that's why there are measurements like watthours

young osprey Oct 26, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

I think if you are sucking up 320W for an entire hour you would consume 320Wh of electricity. think
But it's not common for video cards to use max power 100% of the time

reef pawn Oct 26, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

Yeah it was just an example because I didn't know how long it would take for something to use up 320W because it doesn't say like 320W/hour

young osprey Oct 26, 2020, 12:09 AM

#

It wouldn't because wats is the instantaneous measurement

#

Something like a kill-a-watt will tell you how much wattage you are using at any given moment. Wh (Watt-hours) is the total consumption (like miles driven in your car)

reef pawn Oct 26, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

ok

wide totem Oct 26, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

Anyone can someone tell me a good case for ryzen 5 3600 1000 dollar budget

reef pawn Oct 26, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

what size motherboard do you pla n to use

young osprey Oct 26, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

Case doesn't really have any determination about what CPU you can use

#

MB size and cooling needs are the main factors in your case

eager monolith Oct 26, 2020, 1:08 AM

I wouldn't get that psu for a 3070 build

#

C-Tier

soft basin Oct 26, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

plus the the 3600 is a cool puppy that runs fine on a stock air cooler, that being said everything looks good.

eager monolith Oct 26, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

It's hard to recommend a case because a lot of it is aesthetics

soft basin Oct 26, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

it's EVGA not Corsair

eager monolith Oct 26, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

modelbrand

#

Doesn't matter that it's EVGA. EVGA is a great company, but that isn't a very good psu

soft basin Oct 26, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

I'd prefer a different case, but for the price it's hard to beat

#

@eager monolith I have the same veiw of Corsair products of any grade

eager monolith Oct 26, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

The same view? huh

soft basin Oct 26, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

mainly because I've had to toss so much of thier psu's ansd aio's in the trash after just a few days

eager monolith Oct 26, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

Cool. I have an almost all Corsair PSU and have had nothing but positive experences

#

Again, it really depends on the model

soft basin Oct 26, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

I have a EVGA and it's been nothing but a champion

eager monolith Oct 26, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

EVGA is great as a company, but you shouldn't have a C-tier PSU in a 3070 build

vocal tree Oct 26, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

D tier with 3090 😎

soft basin Oct 26, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

a 3070 isn't going to strain even a 500 watt psu

eager monolith Oct 26, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

Not the point. It's not a good PSU. Wattage isn't everything

soft basin Oct 26, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

nope RMA is

eager monolith Oct 26, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

RMA won't help you if it kills your brand new 3070

#

A bad psu can take out other components

#

Don't cheap out on it

soft basin Oct 26, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

but it does cover products DOA out of the box

eager monolith Oct 26, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

Mmhmm, but the issue with this product isn't that products are arriving dead. It's just not a good enough PSU for that build

soft basin Oct 26, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

Oh I should part out my Top Power 850 Gold then, or the multi Raidmax Vortex Modules I pass out like candy.

eager monolith Oct 26, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

If you want to put a TT Smart into your own PC, go ahead I guess. Just don't advise others to put cheap PSUs in nice builds

soft basin Oct 26, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

right a 300 watt gpu + a 65 tdp cpu

eager monolith Oct 26, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

huh

soft basin Oct 26, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

i have a little of everything here, only one psu isnt modular

eager monolith Oct 26, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

Your point?

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 1:21 AM

#

@eager monolith tbh I don't see an issue with a tier c PSU and 3070

#

get a BR500 if budget is tight for a 3600+3070 build

#

don't see a huge issue

eager monolith Oct 26, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

Eh. I'd go b-tier

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

sure better PSU is preferred

#

but C is good enough if budget is really tight

eager monolith Oct 26, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

My issue is this dude saying that brand > model

soft basin Oct 26, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

Lets see, 9+ in the room + one upstairs, half new, rest 3+ years in operation..

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

modelbrand

#

BR700 is fine tho

eager monolith Oct 26, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

The amount of PSUs you have has little correlation with your knowledge of PSUs @soft basin

soft basin Oct 26, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

and hip hugging name brand models isn't practical application either

#

use the product rather than the review

eager monolith Oct 26, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

What in the <insert swear word> are you saying

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

the discussion kinda went really off track

eager monolith Oct 26, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

Yeah lol

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

So the real question is

reef pawn Oct 26, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

a 750W PSU is good for a 5800x and 3080 right?

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

@eager monolith @soft basin Why, or why not get a BR700 in that build?

#

Talk about the model itself

#

:P

eager monolith Oct 26, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

Yeah, if they're on a tight budget, I don't really have an issue with it

soft basin Oct 26, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

Anyway everything on the list is fine, only there isn't much difference between a NVME and a SSD nowadays.

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

See, there was no real need to talk about EVGA vs Corsair or whatever :)

soft basin Oct 26, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

@reef pawn I think 650 watt is minimal

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

@reef pawn as long as you get a good PSU, 750w is fine.

reef pawn Oct 26, 2020, 1:28 AM

Its a Seasonic Focus Gold

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 1:29 AM

reef pawn Oct 26, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

There's Focus GM and Focus GX

#

eh, both are good.

reef pawn Oct 26, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

Lemme see

soft basin Oct 26, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

lets see, I have two b450's one b350, all running 1500x and 1660 supers

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 1:30 AM

#

That sounds 'fun'

reef pawn Oct 26, 2020, 1:30 AM

#

There's nothing on the name that says GM or GX

soft basin Oct 26, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

however all their psu are in the 800-850 range so could upgrade to the 3600 and 3070/80 easy

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 1:31 AM

just make sure to buy new

don't buy used

reef pawn Oct 26, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

I got the GM

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

This time it's because pre-2018 Focus units had issues with transient response on high wattage GPUs

eager monolith Oct 26, 2020, 1:32 AM

I'm still not against open box psus (or used for budget builds)

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 1:33 AM

@eager monolith ye I got a specific reason this time

#

Because there was an issue with older stock

reef pawn Oct 26, 2020, 1:33 AM

Is the GM better than GX

It's not a problem, I've spent thousands on pc hardware over the years and tend to stick with what works.

Practical application beats name brands/gaming specs any day

I've also spent thousands on pc hardware, that really isn't much of a qualification. Yea, the product more important than the brand. But personal experience isn't everything. Just because your hand grenade doesn't explode doesn't mean the next person's won't
