You do not need 850w psu for a 3600x 5700x system lmao

#

this👍

mellow birch
#

what case do u guys recommend that is under 100 dollars but will still look good with rgb?

pastel zodiac
#

Is 80+ bronze alright

elfin trout
#

TD500 mesh

mellow birch
#

can you give me 3 options to pick between?

#

i been trying to pick a case for a long time

elfin trout
#

TD500 mesh, Coolermaster H500 (no suffix), P400a, P500a, Lian Li Lancool ii mesh

#

that's the standard lineup I'd give you

mellow birch
#

ok

#

thank you

uneven solstice
#

will rtx 30s fit in nzxt h510 elite?

#

Should I get a semi modular PSU?

oak nimbus
#

Why not go full modular @scenic lance

mellow fjord
copper grotto
#

which is better in your guys' opinion, lian li lancool 2 mesh or a fractal design meshify c

rich hazel
#

Maybe the meshify c if you add fans, stock for sure the lancool 2

copper grotto
#

im kind of dense, but you mean stock fans when you say stock right?

teal flare
#

the included fans

elfin trout

#

what should i get

elfin trout
#

What's the rest of the PC?

scenic lance
#

waiting on a 5600x and 3070

#

asus tuf x570 pro wifi

elfin trout
#

I'd say 650w will work, and 750w for a bit of headroom.

scenic lance
#

ok i’ll go with 750

elfin trout
#

@scenic lance do keep in mind, Model>Brand, and efficiency rating doesn't tell you about quality.

scenic lance
#

reliable brands and models?

elfin trout
#

Phanteks Amp, Seasonic focus GX/GM, Corsair RMx, Enermax Revolution D.F., XPG Core reactor are some good ones to start off

So I'm looking for an 850w 80+ platinum psu , was going to go with a corsair HX but they seem to be either out of stock or super marked up. does anyone have any recommendations for something comparable in that like about 200$ USD price range

#

There's like 3 rules for PSUs
1, modelbrand
2, Efficiency rating doesn't mean quality
3, Don't cheap out on quality

floral hemlock
#
  1. Have a bit of headroom on your 12v bus
elfin trout
#

Meh, if you limit boosting behavior you can just go by tdp without going for headroom

#

And overload works on good PSUs

latent light
#

I'm looking at the nr200 for my first itx build but I'm unsure if my ATX PSU would fit in it. Its a Seasonic Prime Ultra Gold and I was wondering if I could use a ATX to SFX mounting adapter or if I have to buy a new psu

tender root
#

@latent light look up the PSU clearance number on cooler masters site

#

and then look at the length of the psu

elfin trout
#

@tender root 130mm listed support, but it also has two different PSU mounts and boasts that you can 3d print brackets

tender root
#

it was not you that should do that research @elfin trout

elfin trout
#

(I was curious :(
I like the nr200 as a case)

tender root
#

the psu is a very big unit for a semi-small case

#

its 170mm iirc

elfin trout
#

Anyways I'll let them do the rest of the research, but I was very interested in that you can get SFX to ATX brackets for the PSU

tender root
#

a sfx to atx bracket is a normal thing for a LOT of cases @elfin trout

#

its "just" a extra insert after all

elfin trout
#

Hm, why's that? Isn't the whole point of sfx PSUs is being smaller?

tender root
#

yes

#

and if you have a case that supports atx

#

it also supports sfx (by using a adapter)

#

which frees up more internal volume

elfin trout
#

I mean the other way aroune

#

Case supports sfx

#

Adapter gives atx

tender root
#

not physically possible

#

atx dimensions are too big for that

elfin trout
tender root
#

internal hang cage

#

is what it looks like

elfin trout
#

Nr200 has psu mounted like hanging

#

Anyways it might be NR200 design allowing for atx and they just didn't do it

tender root
#

yes, for the nr200

#

go back a bit, and see that i am talking about cases, as in, cases in general. and in particular, the atx spec

#

any case that is designed with a SFX external access cutout, wont have physical dimensions that allow a ATX to be mounted there

Are the Coolermaster mwe psus anygood?

#

I was planning on the gold

#

what does it interfere with?

snow spoke
#

read some reviews regarding that but eh if you've got space go for it

surreal magnet
#

interfere with?

snow spoke
#

like it sticks out or sum

surreal magnet
#

its an ATX psu...

latent quiver
#

It'll be fine then

#

Is the 4000D good?

#

4000D Airflow

teal flare
#

yes

latent quiver
#

there's probably cheaper cases that have good airflow I'm sure

#

but I look the look of it

surreal magnet
#

it might be longer than normal psus, but psu length is a spec listed for every case

pulsar basin
#

Wait what's wrong with the PSU I sent?

#

If it has a gold + rating it has to be somewhat good right?

tender root
#

see that @pulsar basin

pulsar basin
#

I do see yes

elfin trout
#

Rule number 2

#

"80+ gold" just tells you efficiency

#

does anyone here have a 5inch rasberry pi monitor mounted inside their o11-d?

#

550 bronze should be enough to run my gtx 1060 and ryzen 5 2600x right? My current 430 watt 80 plus can't. System hangs, blue screens, and freezes after being open for less than a minute

chrome iris
#

then that isnt your psu thats the problem

snow spoke
#

don't look into the brand too

chrome iris
#

1060 systems can run fine off 400w units even. ive seen worse put on smaller psus

snow spoke
#

look into the model

#

and yeah 1060's aren't that power hungry

pulsar basin
#

I don't know what else the problem could be. The system posts fine but the system will hang even when running the windows installer/repair media from a usb drive

#

The ram is good, I know for a fact. Pulled it straight out of another working machine. And the 5 2600x was new

#

The only thing I can think of it being is the PSU or the Mobo

wintry mango
#

How can I find out what psu I need for my pc?

snow spoke
#

i normally like to go 150-200w over estimated power usage, and refer to the psu tier list to see which one is over others

wintry mango
#

I see thanks for the help.

eager obsidian
#

Should i prioritize psu for modularity or price?

honest spindle
#

multiple peoples opinions would be helpful for me

snow spoke
#

well first of all a 650w psu would be good for that build

#

a Tier B or even a Tier C psu would be ideal for that build according to the psu tier list pinned in this channel

#

@honest spindle do you care about modularity?

tall crow
#

i am getting a free i7 - 4770 tho

honest spindle
#

Sorry @snow spoke, no it's not essential

#

and I figure going 80plus gold for 750W would be good for future upgrades

#

also what pin

#

there aren't any pins on this channel

snow spoke
#

hmmm

#

well a good psu with a nice warranty is the 750w phanteks amp

honest spindle
#

are there any comparable ones for under $200?

#

I was suggested that one before, but the price got jacked over the last week

#

how good is the Seasonic SSR-750PX?

#

if one finds it under $200?

#

what psu should I get if my estimated wattage is 384?

tacit quiver
#

can anyone please give me suggestions for a full tower rgb fane case at an affordable price? (or just a solid full tower that I could add my own rgb fans to)

#

#

mainly anything under $200

snow spoke
#

i like the 0-11 dynamic

#

make sure to get the razer edition cuz gaming brand

teal flare
#

that case is so overused

#

p500a comes with 3x140mm rgb intake fans, you can also add a 3 pack of sk140 to have 6 of the same fan

#

or you can get p400a, which is just 3x120mm instead

#

4000d airflow and 220t airflow are not bad

those are mid-towers

i was thinking of diy braiding my psu but i needed to know if when you take it out and plug everything back in will it lose any data or factory reset the pc.

scenic lance
#

does anyone own the NR200?

stray cipher
#

the newegg power supply calculator says that my recommended psu wattage would be around 430w, and i have a 450w psu now, would i need to go for a higher wattage psu just to be safe?

#

and just for clarification, the 430w is with a 3060 ti, which i obviously dont have yet, but with my current gpu installed im only around 350w

snow spoke
#

i recommend getting 150-200w more of the system wattage requirements

stray cipher
#

ok thats what i was thinking

#

but is the power calculator only the requirements, or does it also factor in that ~200w buffer?

snow spoke
#

im not sure it adds the 200w to the requirements

#

what kinda system you trying to run?

stray cipher
snow spoke
#

yeah no i don't think it does

#

just did a quick list based on what you've got on the calculator and pcpp gave me 409w lmao

#

so a good 600-650w psu will do

stray cipher

trail vale
#

For a PSU, I recommend anything from Corsair, Seasonic, or EVGA with an 80+ Gold Certification. I personally would go with a 650w PSU but you can probably go down to 500w safely

verbal breach
#

if not what else is there

fickle forge
#

A tier psu

#

Its on linus tech tips psu rank

trail vale
#

I have a Corsair RM 750

verbal breach
#

is 850 the safe option or do you think i could do a 750

trail vale
#

they're both safe

#

if you plan to upgrade to something like an RTX 3080 in the future, you would probably wanna go 850, but 750 is good if you don't plan to do that big of an upgrade.

750 is safe

Is a 500watt psu enough to power a 2080ti? Possibly a 3070?

floral hemlock
#

you have to power your whole system, not just the GPU

#

I think 2080 ti alone draws ~280 ish?

#

if you're using a ~100 watt cpu, you're close to 400, with a little extra junk thrown in

#

you probably have 5-10W in ram

#

overclocking would raise these numbers

so I've got a CX750M psu that's been serving me pretty well for the past 8 months but with the latest launch of gpus I'm not sure it will be enough for when I can get my hands on a 3080/6800xt should I start looking for a 750w or 800w 80+ gold unit or keep the current 80+ bronze psu?

chrome iris
#

Nope. You should be fine. Also remember that 80+ does not equal quality. There are some 80+ gold units that are worse than other 80+ bronze units. Just depends on model

you just need to install a 92mm fan on the back?

brisk jewel
#

I7 9700f/5700 xt. Is 600 watts enough

cobalt panther

check the true wattage on the side of the PSU

on mine it says "max output power" is 840W and the total power is 850W.. some are drastically different, its important to check

I dont have a psu yet.

oh, well 600w is the minimum recommended for the 5700xt

it recommends 700w

brisk jewel

so only a true 600w would be good

Buy a 750 and call it a day

Otherwise you’re setting yourself up to buy another psu later

is the nzxt H510 really as bad as people say? since so many people still use the case is the airflow problem bad enough to not get it for the aesthetics?

what does this mean
"Note: The Gigabyte Z490 AORUS ULTRA ATX LGA1200 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 PE 750 W 80+ Gold 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."

#

nvm fixed it. but what's up with there being hardly any PSUs with additional 4-pin ATX connectors

@wispy raven node304?

Anyone have the Meshify C mid tower case? Wondering if 120mm fans will fit under the front cover as opposed to taking up real estate inside the case.

#

uuh I dont get what you are talking about @timber dawn

#

Let me see if I can find a pic

#

Ugh. Cant post a link for a damn pc case 🤣

#

So when you look at the images for the Fractal Meshify C it shows that the front mesh panel can be removed. It then shows fans mounted to the front. Can those fans be mounted in between the mesh and the front of the case instead?

#

IE: so that they are not taking up room in the case if a radiator was mounted.

#

Hopefully that is a better explanation. I attempted to link a picture from newegg but it wouldn't allow that even.

also @indigo galleon apparently linus tech tips did a "stuff well rated at newegg" build and was suprised to see this case but it grew on him (see it open here) https://youtu.be/mODI4-cRhPE?t=616 both sides and top come off and the motherboard is on a shelf with the bottom half for cables/drives/psu/etc. and the front cover comes off for fan replacement/more cable routing. add in hotswap bays, and tons of airflow, and i love it.

and it fits 6case fans (200, 140x2, 120, 80x2), or swap out for radiators as you want

Its also way easier to build with no rgb

so many less cables

i also hooked all my fans up to pwm and the psu is one thats silent at low loads so i can't tell its on when i'm not playing a game unless i look at the power button

Yea

I'm really happy with the upgrade i went all top notch RGB in like 2013 but have been slowly left behind, slow enough i didn't really notice going from ultra settings to high to medium

I have a xps 630i case currently. But I wanted to down size from that behemoth.

#

yea, meshify S2 might not be what you want then if you want to size down

#

the p400a or td500 mesh are both still options if you want a bit more room

#

i just really like the meshify for the tinted pane

timber dawn
#

The xps case is huge, and ive had to get creative when I did my mods to it.

wow... that is wuite large indeed

#

oddly common case to mod tho

#

thats what like, 80% of the pics im seeing when i look up the case

Yeah, I think it was an 08 dell style case. I gutted it and built a hazwell system in 12.

#

Yo guys, I need your opinion on this, in my country phanteks p400a is priced at 88$ while Lian Li lancool 215x is at 114, which one do you think should I go for?
Lian li has 2 extra fans but is it really worth the 114$?

timber dawn
# elfin trout P500a

That P500A doesn't look half bad, I'll have to do some dimensions on it when I get off work.

alright thanks for the suggestions, ill look into them

edgy tiger
#

@faint solstice here are some I have worked with that are also great:

#

corsair 4000d airflow is very capable and is REALLY cool if you appreciate attention to detail.

#

the Be Quiet pure bace 500dx is a bit of an aquaired taste but it is popular and preforms well with that sweet RGB

#

and finally the Gigabyte case has a cool astetic and is inexpensive

elfin trout
#

CM H500 goes below 100$ on sales

edgy tiger
#

its about 100 now, but its not my favorite

elfin trout
#

It does outperform 500dx

edgy tiger
#

true

#

actually I got it confused with that older one that GN Steve hated for a sec there, really confusing naming scheme.

elfin trout
#

Meh, I actually like the naming scheme, it's NZXT that I hate for having a H500

faint solstice

thanks for answering, now i have even more options to look into haha

i wanted to get these corsair fans but i did not know if they would be compatible

I have also used the hue, but it depends what connector the fans use

#

there are different kinds

stoic shuttle
#

ah i see

#

worst case scneraio is just to plug them into an addressable rgb fan header on the motherboard?

yes, make use you have everything you need in advance.

@drifting sonnet @edgy tiger smart white is trash, easy PC killer
Cheap PSU: EVGA B-Stock, get the 500BR

#

should be about $30 or so

edgy tiger
#

wait really? was not seeing that

lofty pewter
#

Smart is a slightly weird one. Failure rate isnt bad, problem comes to be what happens on a failure. Lot of the time it kills at least something else in the PC

#

Also is group regulated, so getting close to 500w load mark then instability issues like to happen

edgy tiger
#

does the smart overload a rail?

lofty pewter
#

on death - seems so, higher wattage smart whites it can also catch fire

#

this low wattage model doesnt seem to do it as much at least

edgy tiger
#

phew, I bought a smart gold for a very expensive system

#

got me scared for a sec there

lofty pewter
#

you know which one?

#

probably not horrible, most likely just meh. cant recall off the top of my head of any terrible Smart Golds, which is good

edgy tiger
#

I have used the Smart gold 750watt and the Toughpower 850 GF1 gold

#

(Have used more- those just the TT ones i have used)

lofty pewter

Those ones should be decent. Mind you, rarely see them worth the price

Quick question, will a Intel form factor PSU work with an AMD chipset?

are sleeved cables worth it

Anyone have recommendations for mid cases with good frontal cooling and tempered glass or acrylic side paneling around $70?

fiery moss

So my front panel connectors can’t reach jfp1 when using the cable channels in the case. Can I put it in jusb1 or do I have to make it ugly so the wires can reach?

@distant galleon phanteks p400

edgy tiger

ok @distant galleon I ahve reccomendations

#

the fractal focus G is solid, but it looks kinda old

the cougar mx330 is solid, and the phanteks p300a mesh

@distant galleon mx330-g air, 55$+shipping, 3 fans, mesh front panel.

both are around 70$

@scenic lance tempered

scenic lance

alright

#

give me a min

brittle charm
#

@scenic lance oh btw I am actually deciding on lancool 215 or this one, however, in my country, the lancool 215 is 113$ not the 70$

#

However fractal meshify c is still 70$

scenic lance
#

meshify C is a great case 😄

#

unless you want that rgb fan bling

#

your choice

brittle charm
#

Not really a fan of rgb, more of an airflow guy, but which one do you prefer?

#

70$ meshify C or 113$ lancool 215?

#

215x to be specific

scenic lance
#

to be completely honest i would just go for the cheaper one

#

meshify c has great airflow

#

so nothing to worry about to be honest

scenic lance
#

Meshify C site says :

#

and this is the 3060 ti's size

#

L=282 W=117 H=41 mm

#

from gigabyte site

brittle charm
#

Oh oaky thanks

scenic lance
#

so you should be fine 😄

brittle charm
#

Appreciate your help bro

scenic lance
#

and no problem good luck ;D

brittle charm
#

Thanks bro, appreciate your help, now all I need are the cpu fan(which might be cooler master 212 since i just want a decent one and arctic p12 fans)

#

@scenic lance Oh sorry forgot to ask, in the worst case scenario that I might be unable to buy it, do you think the lancool 215 is an ideal case as well? that one is in my country so it's easier to get, however the fractal is cheaper(but there is the risk of getting it cracked while shipping)

tribal shore
#

@brittle charm from what ive seen both cases are very good options, it just comes down on what your willing to spend and personal preference

brittle charm
#

Ohh okay

scenic lance
#

agreed Lancool 215 is nice too 😮

brittle charm
#

Alright thanks again guys

scenic lance
#

👍

even though i refuse to believe that it can fit a 360mm aio cooler into the fractal design meshify C

For all other parts @brittle charm?

what the price range? And what do u want the pc for.

brittle charm

Like cables, extensions, some stuffs

but I figured I can stretch it to 1100

livid aurora

Cable extensions if u want a cleaner look

#

Nothing extra requires

required

#

Oh okay, thanks man

livid aurora
#

yea

brittle charm
#

I heard all of these "fan extenders" or "fan hubs" or "usb cables" and I have no idea what those are

livid aurora
#

Everything required to boot comes with the parts that are required to complete the build In the first place. U do need a 8 gig (at least) flash drive to install windows ISO media into

#

That’s the only extra thing u need thoubj

brittle charm
#

Oh yup I got that covered already, I was just worried with all of the other cables other people were talking about

livid aurora
#

All cables required for the build come with the psu or are installed in the case already, cause they are the power switch connector etc for the case buttons

Oh okay, I'll look into that, thanks

#

pardon me, but --STUPID HUMAN QUESTION: I have one of those new Alienware Aurora's-- the one that's small with a lot of notebook-size drives. I've been having on hell of a tough time trying to get a replacement part.
Alienware have offered to send me one free, but THEY don't know the part number, and sent me the wrong cable. (all their customer service is off-shore and CONFUSED) I’d be happy to BUY the thing, if I only knew exactly which part number.
What I need is the combination cable assembly that plugs into the power supply (a big, white 6-pin plug) in the middle of the assembly there are double SATA ports attached (I guess so you can add powered items) and at the far end, a mini SATA-like plug that provides power to the burner, (A SMALL, notebook-size BDXL) --that's the smaller of the 2 contacts on the burner. It's all one cable ASSEMBLY, so I assume this is Alienware/Dell "proprietary". A repairman who offered to help was unable to find a replacement. Has anybody out there opened one of these and know what the @#!% this is? 😋

five years for the RM

are you looking at the right rm

cause theres different versions

tender root

aye, and do you see a clarification in his original question?

chrome iris

no i do not

tender root

:)

chrome iris

but the longer warranty is newer, and i rarely see the old 5yr warranty version for sale new -- at least not at insane prices

neither of which are clarified points of his question :)

so i just assumed

so if i had a choice should i get a 10 year warranty RM or get a RMx? RMx seems cheaper for right now

it's not really great, but eh, i would invest more in the psu

but CX definitely doesn't fit in your budget 🙃

lemme check if there's some other good options

the cv is prolly his best chance

the 650w cv stands in the tier c, so it might be

#

and what is your budget?

rigid patrol
#

around 920-950

snow spoke
#

okok

#

lemme check, i think someone once made me a budget list at that price point

#

and that motherboard goes up and down in pricing, sometimes it ranges from the low 80 and sometimes the high 120's

rigid patrol
#

ok

snow spoke
#

the b550m phantom gaming 4 is also a great option

rigid patrol
#

is the GIGABYTE B450 AORUS M fine

#

?

scenic lance
#

but maybe there are better options

snow spoke
#

lemme check it

#

the b55m pro4 offers more features, like more fan headers, supports for faster ram out of the box, more usb headers, and it's got a better looking io, not to mention that it can support 5000 series if you're planning on upgrading in the future, the b540 aorus m looks nice if you plan on staying where you are

rigid patrol
#

ok

#

ty very much

floral hemlock
#

Yeah a lot of people don't account for fan numbers and sizes vs headers

#

You can always use a splitter or hub, but if you have 2 headers and 3 different size fans, one of the fans will not be indivually controllable

#

Where as if you split a header between like 2 input 140s, you'll want them to be at the same speed so splitting is fine

pls recommend sfx psu for 5900x and 3080

#

the bottom is 24 pin + 8 pin + 2x 6 pin + 2x 8 pin
the top is 24 pin + 8 pin + 3x 6+2 pin

#

the 6+2 can act as a 6 pin or 8 pin, whichever you need

#

@spring haven

spring haven
#

Thanks @chrome iris, besides the different pins, I can't tell if they are the same in terms of cable material and design

#

do i really need a 750 watt psu for a 3070

#

cause right now i am fine with 450 watts

#

what kinda system you got

#

i5 8400

#

#

the math says that i should be fine with 595 watts

#

does gpu boost over the 220 watts

daring marsh
#

U could get by with a 650

spare owl
#

thats what i was thinking

#

theres a unreasonable price bumb from 650 to 750

#

bump*

crisp gazelle
#

so any case can pair with any mobo right?

snow spoke
#

not really

young osprey
#

for appropriate form factors yes

#

but you can't put an atx MB in a case that only fits an Mini-ITX mb

crisp gazelle
#

true

floral hemlock
#

Also your components may be too tall for some cases or too long for others

#

Even if the mobo fits

in need white 120 mm case fans

#

pls and ones that arent 40$ a poop

worthy crypt
#

what is the on and off button on the psu. Those symbols with the i and o

jade haven
#

So my power supply is coming up to 7 years now and im curious if i should replace it or not

#

my power supply is a corsair hx750i 750w 80 plus platinum

jade haven
#

@worthy crypt if the "I" and "O" are together then its toggled power switch but if the "I" and "O" are separate then the "I" is power ON and the "O" is power OFF

edgy tiger
#

@jade haven well, for occasional gaming 8-9 years is the recommended replace time, but you have a durable PSU. I have a PC running a 12 yr old 850 antec unit and it still works as good as ever so pick your battles.

rigid patrol
edgy tiger
#

possibly @rigid patrol , it DOES look like a great wall manufactured unit

#

(corsair also uses them), but i would recommend using a more well known brand

rigid patrol
#

ok

rigid patrol
#

anyone else ?

cosmic wind
#

Though I really enjoy building PCs, I really like how the Alienware pre-built's have PSU's on a rotating hinge. Does anyone know of any cases that feature that?

edgy tiger
#

Its kind of a weird thing to want @rigid patrol

#

It blocks any sort of tempered glass window- there are better ways to hide a PSU like in the o11

#

I dont rlly think any cases have that to build in

rigid patrol
#

?

oak nimbus
oak nimbus
#

i dont think any other case manufacturer does that

sweet drum
#

@cosmic wind Why do you like that feature? Is there a particular reason? Accessibility? Just getting it out of the way? Case Size?

#

Often Dell/HP/etc will use custom sized hardware to fit in a tiny size like @oak nimbus mentioned. If you are looking to use standard components, you'll likely have to go with a different kind of layout to get the same effect. If you're looking for small, take a look at some of the funky designs in ITX from Lian-Li, Fractal, Shuttle, Etc. and maybe you'll see something that has that same effect for you.

oak nimbus
#

@cosmic wind the only case you would get that same functionality would be Dell or Alienware cases but you won't be able to find any hardware that would fit the case because most of the stuff they use are custom built for the cases themselves. Dell and Alienware don't exactly build their PCs for modularity unlike other builders like HP Omen with their modular case designs and components and iBuyPower and CyberPower.

#

need a power supply around 50-80 $ usd 600-750 watt for a 3060ti

any ideals

Or the seasonic focus gold series

#

@rigid patrol go for more well known brands

Not appearance

#

Youre better off getting a bronze rated one than a gold rated one thats non-modular

#

Dont get gold just because it says gold

^^^^

#

Seasonic s12 and the cooler master ones are also good

rigid patrol

@vocal tartan ty

I thought the Seasonic 12 were the really bad Seasonic ones

they are

#

He said the s12’s are good

#

you a have choice ?

dim lynx
#

How good in ur opinion is the Inwin A1 plus itx

tender root
#

@tender rapids you had a look at Fractal Design?

#

or the Define C Mini

#

i personally really like their stuff (Fractal Design) because its a fairly "timeless" design language (on the define and the node series)

#

there is the Define version

#

do note there are different version of it

#

let me just look at the numbers, 2sec

#

37 of the machines last month was FD builds

#

that is out of 183 builds

#

aye aye :)

#

always open for actual questions :)

tender root
#

oki :)

#

they are all lovely to build in, so yeah :)

#

the mini or the others are not "compact" variants for the intended board size

#

the q300l is also a very ... weird design

#

the "concept/idea" behind it is interesting, but the execution/result that Cooler master deployed to the market ? not so much

#

aye

#

again, the modularity, which was the concept/idea was not thought through enough

Hi guys. A question.. how much wattage should i increase over my pc wattage needs?

young osprey

usually 100-150

@chrome iris well I guess I have a reputation now

edgy tiger

I recommended it a while back I think u were there

I also love the toughpower series

011 dynamic is one of the best cases (by looks), if you have 9 fans

is the hx750 a good psu

too pricey

how do i know if my psu comes with all the cables needed

Is a 600w 80+ White PSU enough for: a Ryzen 7 3700x, 2070 Super, no RGB.

rain aurora
#

650-700 is usually the safest to go with but you should read the spec list and see what those components need @earnest hound

#

anyone use mountain mods cases?

pastel zodiac
#

no, but looking it up it looks pretty expensive and big

cyan wyvern
#

it's one of the rare cases that allows for horizontal mobo

#

i currently use one and am curious if anyone else uses it. my choice in aeshethetics are bad though. i have a black case with a bunch of the brown noctua fans lol

Hey so I have a RX570, Ryzen 5 3600 and little to no LED and my PSU is a be quiet! System power 9 500W, and about two months ago I turned my computer off and it took about 4-5 mins before the fans and lights turned off and when they finally did turn off and I tried to start it up again it wouldn’t boot passed the splash screen so I switched the PSU plug with a different socket and it worked again for another two weeks then the same thing happened, I am 99% sure it is my PSU but I just want to check with people who could have other information

grave haven
#

anyone knows the difference between Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 and focus 850? besides the rgb, are they comparable? for 3080 and 5800x set up.

#

thanks

edgy tiger
#

I have used the toughpower and liked it, but I would go seasonic

#

the TT psus have off-putting red PCI 6x connectors

grave haven
#

ahh, seasonic is very popular but the wait time is killing me!!!!

edgy tiger
#

hmm... do you like any other 850 watts? have had odd experiences with both

grave haven
#

i want something that is around 150 dollars. dont wanna break the band....the build is arelady about 2500 before keyboard and monitors...

#

bank

#

i dont care about rgb or the look. just want something is not too expensive and reliable

edgy tiger
#

this looks good

grave haven
#

thanks, i will look it up
