Focus G is good

ocean bridge Nov 9, 2020, 10:53 PM

#

is there a small case (itx) that support atx psu? i dont wannt buy a new one becuase of 3080 😦

tender root Nov 9, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

there are a few that do @ocean bridge

#

but the go to ITX with atx psu support is limited to 2slot wide gpu's

#

(fractal design node 304)

I found the worst thing in my life to work on tried to take motherboard out to put it in a different case but I got really upset and put it back together

Is NZXT C850 a good enough PSU for a 5900x and rtx3080 build?

dawn matrix Nov 10, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

nzxt makes psu's? huh

ebon osprey Nov 10, 2020, 3:37 AM

Erm yah

tall mauve Nov 10, 2020, 4:02 AM

I like how some guy thinks his 650w psu is overkill when im here with my 2060 super and 2700x

#

And a 750w gold rated psu

#

Corsair RMx go brrr

#

Reall quick dose every ps come with all the cables you need???

worldly dust Nov 10, 2020, 5:25 AM

#

in most cases yes

#

it is not always true

#

like if you were getting a 3090 rog strx (whichever one needs 3 8 pins) with a really expensive motherboard and need 5 8 pins you could be short on most PSUs

lofty sinew Nov 10, 2020, 8:01 AM

#

This may not be the right place for this but.... My pc is randomly rebooting, no warning, just a reboot. Could this be a symptom of a failing PSU?

vivid cobalt Nov 10, 2020, 8:42 AM

#

So I'm looking for a case with at least 3 pci expansion slots in a mini itx form factor with a decent side window. Preferably tempered glass.

ocean bridge Nov 10, 2020, 9:35 AM

#

@tender root thank you for the reply, sadly i need 3 slot cuz im going to get the 3080 tuf, is there a a small mid tower in your mind ?

#

@vivid cobalt you have the nr200p

vivid cobalt Nov 10, 2020, 9:52 AM

#

Thanks @ocean bridge Been up all night just going through several revisions. Came to the conclusion that the TU150 probably wouldn't have quite enough airflow for the hardware I'm putting in. This looks like a great option so far.

ocean bridge Nov 10, 2020, 10:04 AM

#

@vivid cobalt the nr200p is amazing air flow so its a good choice only down fall for me is the water cool can be only mounted on the bottom, and as seen in gamers nexus video its not recommended at all , but you air cool it at ease , or ditch the tempered galss and mount it on the side

vivid cobalt Nov 10, 2020, 10:06 AM

#

Yeah I'm trying to fit as much punch in the smallest form factor while trying to meet my aesthetics needs. Planning on a 5800X CPU and RTX 3090 GPU.

tender root Nov 10, 2020, 10:14 AM

#

your main limit for the ITX builds with 3slot wide pci-e is the atx psu

#

plenty of itx cases that can handle that with SFX psu

#

@ocean bridge see above

ocean bridge Nov 10, 2020, 10:45 AM

#

@tender root problem a 750W psu in my countey is around 350$

tender root Nov 10, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

hmm

#

@ocean bridge aye, there are not any that i am aware of that are ITX with ATX psu support, that ALSO have 3 slot wide gpu support

#

i have just checked all that the repositories that i know of

#

IF you are willing to go with mATX for the mainboard

#

https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=392

SilverStone SG10 INTRODUCTION

To further increase the appeal of the groundbreaking Sugo SG09, SilverStone engineers crafted a follow-up version in the SG10. The front panel now utilizes a 7mm thick aluminum with a fine filter hidden beneath this has tremendously increased its simple and elegant appearance...

#

that is an option

#

its not pretty (imo) but it is an option

ocean bridge Nov 10, 2020, 11:09 AM

#

@tender root its ugly 😂 i guess ill just settle for a mid tower then. ty for helping 😄

tender root Nov 10, 2020, 11:09 AM

#

if mid tower is a option, you have stuff like the Define C Mini

#

which is a absolutely love case to build in

ocean bridge Nov 10, 2020, 11:10 AM

#

looks good . also nice watercooling options

tender root Nov 10, 2020, 11:10 AM

#

there are versions with a window ofc

#

and price should also be reasonable

i can vouch for all of them being nice enough to build in

I am considering doing a full custom loop ina corsair 280x (build is just in the conceptual stages rn because i don't have money for it atm) I want to know if I can possibly put a 6900xt plus some Nvidia datamining card (I need the CUDA cores for Davinchi resolve) in the build

https://www.newegg.com/gunmetal-gray-fractal-design-focus-g-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811352075
Is this a good case? Also what makes a good case lol

elfin trout Nov 10, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

@teal creek Focus G is a nice cheapo case

#

it's a metal box with 2 fans, it's what you pay for.

zinc flume Nov 10, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

I have a couple questions.

Is there much risk to buying a case before you have all the parts for a build if you can't hook up a test build? Basically is there much of a chance a case could be DOA in a way that isn't obvious without building in it.
Any recommendations for black cases with good airflow and a relatively low-key appearance at or under $100? I'm on board with the appearance of the meshify c, p400a and lian li 2 mesh if that helps. I don't care for rgb and would prefer not to have a glass side panel if that's an option, but I'm open to having both

young osprey Nov 10, 2020, 3:01 PM

#

It's hard for a case to be DOA unless it was damaged in shipping. Maybe some included fans won't work

elfin trout Nov 10, 2020, 3:01 PM

#

@zinc flume Buying a case early could be iffy if like a fan is dead on arrival, or you're missing a bag of screws. I suggest you try a TD500 mesh.

zinc flume Nov 10, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

How likely is the front I/O to show up DOA? I figure this is a low risk, but I just wanted to check. Saw the meshify c on newegg for like $60 right now, I think some other offer better airflow now unless I'm mistaken. I'll check out the TD500 as well

#

Thanks for the input!

tender root Nov 10, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

quite unlikely

#

but its all statistics if you dig down into it

elfin trout Nov 10, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

Well, it's all 'low' risk, it's just nice to make sure it's still within the return period when you build.

tender root Nov 10, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

we recommend that you buy it all together exactly for the reason IF you luck out on the statistics

elfin trout Nov 10, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

Something like a 98% chance it works still means 2% chance still exists where it's dead.

#

Best to avoid trying luck, and plan it out.

zinc flume Nov 10, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

Yeah, having something show up dead would suck. I just love a good deal as well. I'm sure there will be other deals 👍

#

I do really wish more of these cases would have a non-tempered glass panel option. I don't love the idea of that breaking considering how much I've had to move around

elfin trout Nov 10, 2020, 3:41 PM

#

Heh, @zinc flume if you just want a cheapo metal case that's just metal with acrylic, Focus G, it's not a good case by any means, but it works.

zinc flume Nov 10, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

Hah, no I want a good case but favor practicality over aesthetics like rgb and a glass panel. TD500 looks good as well so I'm sure I'll just go with something with TG

elfin trout Nov 10, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

mhm

#

I have a Focus G, it's cheapo and nothing special.

tender root Nov 10, 2020, 3:47 PM

#

@zinc flume the Define series are built like tanks

#

and there are models without windows

lemme check regional pricing

#

TD500 mesh white for 124 euros, higher price than I'd like, but it's an option

would look for it more ~100 euros

Phanteks P400a for 100 euros, it's good.

liancool ii mesh has way better airflow but i like the asthetics of the pure base 500dx which still gets good air flow

@tender root @elfin trout thing with AMD GPUs, they are completely unlocked. Dont need XOC vBIOS or anything like with Nvidia. If cooler is good enough, might get some rather godly OC perf. 3090 Strix can do 450w on air decently well, so we know that at least some GPU air coolers can deal with a fair bit of wattage. Question becomes stock 6800 wattage/perf and how far can the coolers that're on the decently price models can go cooling wise if OCing.

the reason they are like that, is most likely because they had tooling that makes it like that

Does anyone know the process of getting your products approved to be sold on NewEgg? I'm working on a line of cases rn and I'm trying to figure out how to get them into existing online PC component stores.

Fractal Design Meshify C and Phanteks P400A (non-RGB) are at the same price right now ($70). Which one is nicer quality/provides better airflow? Either way I'll be adding another fan (or two).

dawn matrix Nov 13, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

i mean, i prefer the meshify c over the p400, but thats kinda just personal preference

regal slate Nov 13, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

yeah i've been leaning towards the meshify cause of the design/color, i just wanted to know if there were any key thermal/air flow differences between them

Hi, someone knows the brand XPG and how good is it?

elfin trout Nov 13, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

XPG Core reactor is a pretty good PSU, if that's what you're asking @potent hornet

dim gale Nov 13, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

How can you tell if a PSU will be compatible with your motherboard

tender root Nov 13, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

above is answered in #building-and-recc-chat, because the user also asked there

potent hornet Nov 13, 2020, 3:47 PM

#

@elfin trout I know model is more important than brand but on PSU is scary choosing things of brands little known

chrome iris Nov 13, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

example: enermax

#

most people havent ever heard of enermax

#

but they make the Revolution D. F. PSU, which is a really good model

#

so it doesnt depend on brand at all mostly, all on the model

#

@potent hornet

tender root Nov 13, 2020, 7:14 PM

@chrome iris and age of the user.

chrome iris Nov 13, 2020, 7:14 PM

sure...?

tender root Nov 13, 2020, 7:15 PM

as in, enermax was bigger years ago

the different companies (of the smaller ones) push their marketing in cycles

idc bout thermal performance that much

potent hornet Nov 13, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

@chrome iris Yeah i understand that, but in that case i find more reviews a comments on forums about corsair PSU than XPG PSU

#

It isn't only the brand what i search there is a lot of things and unfortunately the good things about brands little known are a lot more harder to find, on my case

#

now regarding your question, owen

scenic lance Nov 14, 2020, 1:44 AM

#

So I've found conflicting information (aka i only checked google images), do PSUs always intake via the bottom? (thank you)

snow spoke Nov 14, 2020, 1:45 AM

#

well in most normal cases, yk, a mid-tower atx case, the fan in the psu is placed in the bottom facing the bottom

#

taking in air

scenic lance Nov 14, 2020, 1:46 AM

#

Right, so just to make sure I'm understanding, the passive outtake would be on the smaller side/face with the port and on/off switch?

#

also while im here, is it always passive outtake or just normally?

snow spoke Nov 14, 2020, 1:46 AM

#

wdym

scenic lance Nov 14, 2020, 1:46 AM

#

Like is there a fan on the outtake or does it just move out because of the intake fan, im pretty sure theres only one intake fan and no outtake in a psu but im not 100%

snow spoke Nov 14, 2020, 1:47 AM

#

i'm pretty sure it'll just move it out

#

lemme see if i find a diagram of it

scenic lance Nov 14, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

Yea the first ones on google images where a little conflicting, but i wasnt even looking to see if it was a proper standard (whateverthey'recalled) atx? psu

snow spoke Nov 14, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

📎 psu-air-intake-and-exhaust.jpg

#

so yes the cool air comes in through the bottom and it comes out of the vents assuming you're using a standard mid-tower case

scenic lance Nov 14, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

Yea alright, that's what I assumed i just wanted to make sure i didnt have it wrong, sweet. I hope they make fanless PSUs more affordable soon
Thank you for your help

#

Good psu or no?

#

Disregard price since I got it with a bundle, should I trade/sell for something else?

#

Looks great, good reviews, gold 80+, id say keep it unless you want to make $50 and get something cheaper thatll probably work nearly as good. Im pretty sure the larger, better PSU will run cooler and quieter than a barley enough bronze PSU, but like how noticably? probably not much. Id still keep it if i where u unless u need the money

#

It’s new so there’s not too much that people actually know about it. If you filter the Amazon reviews for the specific model there are only 4 and 3 of them are people saying it broke down or was DOA

Can you just answer my question

elfin trout Nov 14, 2020, 6:53 PM

As long as it's not Vengeance rgb

#

Sn550 is dramless and doesn't have hmb

#

Yes

#

It'll work

indigo galleon Nov 14, 2020, 6:54 PM

Thank you

Then what ssd for the same price

#

@elfin trout

elfin trout Nov 14, 2020, 6:57 PM

#

ADATA swordfish has HMB for 5cad more, I'd get a P1 at 10cad more if possible for dram

indigo galleon Nov 14, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

@elfin trout which one has fastest download speed

elfin trout Nov 14, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

What

#

Peak speed doesn't matter if a dramless drive with HMB just dies

indigo galleon Nov 14, 2020, 7:08 PM

But I wanna get the fastest one out of all of them

#

@elfin trout

elfin trout Nov 14, 2020, 7:09 PM

@elfin trout

elfin trout Nov 14, 2020, 7:10 PM

P1

indigo galleon Nov 14, 2020, 7:10 PM

So it’s the best overall

#

Out of all of them

#

?

elfin trout Nov 14, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

Haven't checked speeds, should all be around the same

#

Dram/hmb wise it's the best

indigo galleon Nov 14, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

Kk

#

@elfin trout it’s 1.75gb/s and could I boot windows on it?

dawn matrix Nov 14, 2020, 7:23 PM

#

is there any difference between the p1 and p2? they're the same price rn

elfin trout Nov 14, 2020, 7:23 PM

#

@dawn matrix p1 dram p2 hmb

#

@indigo galleon why not

dawn matrix Nov 14, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

does hmb degrade slower than dram? because i dont see why it would be the same price for slower speeds and no onboard dram

#

or some other advantage it has over dram

elfin trout Nov 14, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

HMB leads to more latency

#

Afterall it uses your system ram instead of onboard

dawn matrix Nov 14, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

so no advantage to the p2 vs p1?

elfin trout Nov 14, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

I'd say P1 over P2 for the dram, p1 uses QLC while p2 uses tlc

Definition: A die, in the context of integrated circuits, is a small block of semiconducting material on which a given functional circuit is fabricated. Typically, integrated circuits are produced in large batches on a single wafer of electronic-grade silicon (EGS) or other semiconductor (such as GaAs) through processes such as photolithography. The wafer is cut (diced) into many pieces, each containing one copy of the circuit. Each of these pieces is called a die.

@honest spindle airflow

#

The only quantifiable way to compare cases is airflow

#

Everything else is subjective

Therefore, it's completely personal preference beyond the basic qualification of ~~not being nzxt~~ having airflow

how many fans do I need if I have the meshify C case?

dawn matrix Nov 17, 2020, 1:10 AM

i bought a 5-pack, and then im using the 2 stock fans for the top

#

has space for 6 120mm's, so you could buy just a 4 pack, only thing is 4 packs arent that common

#

could also get just a 3 pack

#

then use the 2 stock fans as exhausts

technically it supports 7 120mm fans

how much money you willing to spend?

@snow spoke $70 for case $100 for case and fans.

snow spoke Nov 17, 2020, 3:20 AM

#

jus get a case with a mesh front that comes with three fans, pop two in the front and one in the back

unreal pier Nov 17, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

@snow spoke I was thinking about getting the phantex without the included fans because their controller only supports their fans and putting in a 5 pack of fans.

#

They make a model without the included fans

#

Because that case and the 3 fan pack that they make would be too much but the case without fans and 5 separate fans is cheaper.

dawn matrix Nov 17, 2020, 3:23 AM

that would work fine as well

and as long as its the same connector, theres no reason it shouldnt be compatible

Just a question, what case do you prefer out of those?

oak nimbus Nov 17, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

the mb511 and mb320l are good cases

#

many builders here like them

unreal pier Nov 17, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

So you would go with one of the CM cases?

oak nimbus Nov 17, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

if atx, obv the mb511, if matx mb320l

#

but you can place matx mobos in the mb511

unreal pier Nov 17, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

Yeah, a matx would just look better in the MB320L

#

Maybe I will be going with that than.

oak nimbus Nov 17, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

i like my builds small so id go for the mb320l personally

dawn matrix Nov 17, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

if you havnt already looked, take a look at the meshify c and td500 mesh as those are also common airflow case options

oak nimbus Nov 17, 2020, 3:30 AM

#

theres also the corsair 275r airflow

#

which has good airflow

unreal pier Nov 17, 2020, 3:30 AM

#

You know what, I just considered this the MB320L will fit on my desk better too!

dawn matrix Nov 17, 2020, 3:30 AM

#

and the coolermaster nr600 which is more of a clean, budget option that still looks nice

its kinda like an nzxt case, but with airflo

never go nzxt h510

May I ask why is it so hard to find a chassis that still supports 5 ¼" and 3 ½" drive bays? I have a 3½" card reader and a 5¼" Blu-ray burner in my current system and I need a case that supports both, but they practically don't exist anymore

@uncut stump

#

I have the mx330-g

#

It has a mesh front panel with room for 3 intake, and comes with an outtake on the back, and two outtake or intakes on the top. I would do two on top, two in the back and three in the front for optimal airflow

#

The two on the top and the one in the back I would put as outtake

scenic lance Nov 17, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

ehhh

gritty rapids Nov 17, 2020, 2:13 PM

Wdym eh

#

It has a mesh front panel so it’s instantly better than half the cases I’ve seen

#

Unless they have like side intakes which are usually on high end cases

#

Mx330-g is a great value case

#

Just make sure to break off the brackets before you start building, to mount the gpu

#

Is a 650w psu good enough for a 6800xt and amd 5600x
@small charm It's good enough if you're not overclocking an 8-core or higher CPU. I can run hours of benchmarks on a 620 watt Seasonic power supply with a 2070 Super and a 3950x and it does fine*, but it's NOT overclocked, nothing is. It just depends if you want to add a ton of stuff to the PC or not. I'd recommend 700w to be safe during large upgrades honestly, as you're right at the limit there if you add some more components and overclock. The CPU TDP for the 5600X I believe still lists it as a 65w chip, and when overclocked, you'll never see 165w on the cpu alone with the stock cooler with normal settings. I'd reckon it'd be hard to sustain that wattage on PBO unless you're liquid cooled - and the GPU definitely does NOT use 450~500w. 300w maybe on a top-end card, but again, unless you're overclocking things, nothing should make you run out of specs for a GOOD, WELL MADE 650w PSU. If buying a label-brand, make sure the PSU can live up to it's advertised output (most can, unless you get a cheap lesser-known brand).
*fine, yes fine, it does hours of benchmarks on a 2070 Super + 3950x air cooled just dandy. The air coming out of the system is mildly warm and air out of the back of the PSU is barely warm at all. That PSU is loafing. I am hard pressed to even get to 500 watt with this config. Now enable PBO and overclock the CPU and GPU with liquid cooling, add a bunch of RGB and drives, and you'll hit that 620 or 650 watt limit eventually. Just don't be stupid about it and you'll be fine on a well made 650w unit.

#

Label brands = Corsair, NZXT, Enyle, PowerSpec, Ultra, Rosewill, and such. These are labels that buy a pre-specced PSU or custom-spec a PSU unit, from one of the major OEM's such as FSP, Seasonic, Great Wall (I believe they make their own), ChannelWell Tech (CWT) and a few others who's names elude me at the moment - though there's not many left to mention. Sparkle I believe makes their own units - which range from complete rubbish which should be thrown out, to actually well-made server power supplies (yes, Sparkle can make a reliable solid power supply, but the chances of actually finding one of their well made units under their own name is very unlikely at-best).
Running your system with a powerful GPU and CPU requires a solid power supply that can continuously output it's rated maximums at whatever temperature exists for it (cheaper brands rate max at a lower temp, pay attention to this!). Also, getting a better power supply if you don't have the world's most stable power is a very good thing to do. If you run on UPS systems now and then when the power goes out, or have a whole-house generator like we do, make sure the PSU has PFC (power factor correction) so that it can properly adjust the incoming backup-generated pulse / square-ish wave power wave into a proper sine-wave that your power supply expects to normally have. Not having PFC and running off a backup can cause lasting damage to DC components as the resultant 3.3V/5V/12V will not be steady and ends up all over the place.
Making sure your power supply offers surge/inrush protection, underpower/overpower protection, over temperature protection and a whole host of others, is a good indicator of a quality power supply (not a promise, but a GOOD indicator).

#

Sometimes a label brand - I'll use NZXT in this case - can improve upon an OEM's design. NZXT specced a power supply from Seasonic, that's actually made a little better than most mainstream Seasonic units. Not that you'd need better, but these offer improved ripple like you'd only find on top-shelf expensive 200$+ Seasonic units. So label brands don't always = bad. They don't HAVE to be bad, they can sometimes be great - top of their game. However, just because you bought XYZ model from - I'll use Corsair in this example - and it was made by OEM "ABC", doesn't mean you'll still get the same unit (even with the same model number) a year later.

#

Just one thing you must check, make sure it supports the proper EPS12V spec (that it has the proper 4-pin and 8-pin CPU power plugs) that your motherboard desires when picking out a PSU, older models on sale may not have all the right plugs and using y-splitters can be bad/dangerous!
That concludes today's BOOK of a post. I hope it helps someone! Feel free to post any corrections or ask for clarification (if I'm here and I see it, I'll try to help, 25+ years of experience in PC hardware since before Windows 95 came out for our 486 PC's).

damn, i guess we have a new PSU connoisseur

Honestly I'll just take any functional PSU at this point. It's the last thing I need and I've been waiting on it for over a month at this point (it was on backorder), any other options I look at that provide enough power are massively price gouged right now.

surreal magnet Nov 17, 2020, 7:45 PM

#

what CPU and GPU are you trying to power?

#

picking a psu isnt all that hard, there are plenty of options that are more than good enough

sweet lava Nov 17, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

5900x and 3080, but there's a lot of other stuff in the case, so taking into account headroom I'd not feel safe with anything under 800.

surreal magnet Nov 17, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

which model 3080?

sweet lava Nov 17, 2020, 7:47 PM

dawn matrix Nov 17, 2020, 7:47 PM

#

since we're on the topic of psus that will work, hows this for a 3600/3070 system?

@sweet lava you overclocking or just setting PBO2?

sweet lava Nov 17, 2020, 7:48 PM

#

my PCPartPicker estimated wattage is 726 right now, and yes, I know that is not a perfect metric

#

And yes I was planning on overclocking it to whatever safe limits I can get.

#

I have a Corsair HX Platinum 1200 on order right now that is, in theory, supposed to be here on Thursday if Amazon actually ships it. Got it mostly because, at the time, it was a decent price (got it for $210 after a rebate I had), and everything else with a lower wattage was even more expensive. Figured I'd rather just go wildly overkill at a reasonable price then pay price gouge rates for an 860 or 1000w.

#

But if that does not arrive on time I might start looking at other options.

surreal magnet Nov 17, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

max sustained power draw is like 370w, but thats like, worst case scenario, and the 5900x pulls like 230w, plus roughly 70w for the rest of the system

#

so, you could realistically use a 550w psu, but i still wouldnt suggest it lol

#

because most 550w psus arent good enough to handle how the 3080 draws power

sweet lava Nov 17, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

Well I also have a ton of case fans, the AIO bump, everything has built in lighting because that's a thing now, 3 SSDs, 2HDDs, and so on.

surreal magnet Nov 17, 2020, 7:55 PM

still wouldnt recommend this, but this is one of the few 550w psus that would actually work lol

sweet lava Nov 17, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

I'm not really sure how to even figure out the power-draw per fan without tools to measure them :/

surreal magnet Nov 17, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

thats why i tacked on the additional ~70w

#

thats the average wattage of the rest of the components on the 12v rail

sweet lava Nov 17, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

I was looking at the 860 version of that PSU, since I have an older fractal in my current computer.

surreal magnet Nov 17, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

an ssd, an hdd or 2, a handful of case fans

#

those are my suggestions

#

also

#

any of these three will do great, the revolution is a well-built multirail, the ION+ is platnum efficiency rated, and the corsair is just really freaking good

sweet lava Nov 17, 2020, 8:01 PM

#

You think a 660 would handle this overclocked under a full rendering load? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/293Bj2

System Builder

#

if so that's great

surreal magnet Nov 17, 2020, 8:01 PM

#

yep

#

yeah 1200w is seriously overkill

#

also dont pay that much for windows

sweet lava Nov 17, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

Again, it was the only one not $100 over MSRP when I ordered it lol

surreal magnet Nov 17, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

aorus master is a solid board

#

a wee bit overkill, but not too much overkill like some boards lol

sweet lava Nov 17, 2020, 8:03 PM

#

I needed the 3rd m.2

surreal magnet Nov 17, 2020, 8:03 PM

#

yeah

sweet lava Nov 17, 2020, 8:03 PM

#

would've done the net one down otherwise. The pro or whatever it is

surreal magnet Nov 17, 2020, 8:03 PM

#

imo, just get the revolution d.f.

#

https://www.newegg.com/enermax-80-plus-erf650awt-850w/p/1HU-0042-000R0

#

just as good as the other 2

#

but its an 850w

#

didnt even notice that lol

#

also, you dont even need to activate windows if you dont want to

#

you can just run it and put up with the watermark

#

also, personalizing windows is limited, but doesnt effect actual usage

#

then, if later you decide its too bothersone, you can slap a 5 dollar windows key from ebay in the activation box

not that expensive for a four way gen4 expansion card for NVMe

surreal magnet Nov 17, 2020, 8:10 PM

#

yeah, i would have suggested something like that and a cheaper board, but hes already bought everything

sweet lava Nov 17, 2020, 8:11 PM

#

Yeah, it's fully assembled minus any way to actually power it now.

lofty pewter Nov 17, 2020, 8:18 PM

#

but yeah, 850df is good

sweet lava Nov 17, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

PSU prices right now are utter madness.

#

Renewed PSUs on amazon going for more then the MSRP of a brand new one.

#

$180 for a renewed PSU that was $80 pre-Feb
