Idk if this is the right place to ask but:
I need an extra PCIe cable for my power supply, specifically for the Cooler Master V SFX Gold 750 W. I read though that mixing PSU cables doesn't always work and can be dangerous because the male to PSU side isn't standardized. But I can't seem to find any cables that say they would work with a cooler master PSU nor find any info on how to check if the cable would work or not. Could anyone help me?

Silent case under 200 bucks, no RGB and cool looking stuff, just 100% practical? Mid tower. Thanks.
No RGB is not optional, I mean I really don't want RGB 😄

Also, one question. Fractal Design Define 7 is different than Fractal Design Define 7 Compact, right?

Thank you. So definitely not compact.
crimson galleon
Anybody know if I can use a 1000 watt plat PSU for a 5900x, 64GB RAM, 3060ti, and 3080? I wanna make sure that would be ok
opal night
Nah
3080 needs an 850W PSU just by itself to handle transients
3060TI's will pull more than 200 watts
crimson galleon
Jesus, then what kind of crap would I need to run that?
opal night
Why two GPU's?
crimson galleon
My GPU's would never draw full power
Because I need 2 GPU's for my rendering work
crimson galleon
I was planning on dual 3060ti, but maybe I should get a 3080 so I have a better gaming GPU as well
Different definitions of maxed out
Maxed out meaning maximum performance for what I need, not maximum power draw
crimson galleon
yes, but GP loads don't use the same amount of power, maxing out my GPU on one test is not used the same amount of power as another
I do rendering daily, my GPU when it's fully maxed out during rendering barely uses half of its TDP
opal night
how many watts in GPU-Z?
crimson galleon
~110
And only one would be in use for gaming
I'm not at my PC right now tho
I wanna buy a new PSU for my new PC, but I wanna be able to make sure the new expensive ass PSU I get can at least work for a few years
$200 is already absurd for a PSU, and I don't want to spend anymore. I'd like to think a $200-$250 PSU could at least handle that
opal night
Well, you're powering a high end GPU with another GPU
crimson galleon
What kind of money would I have to spend to do that?
Because why not spend even more money on a PC at this point
Nevermin, I'll go with the 1000 watt, keep my 3060ti in my current PC, and just have a 3080/3090 in the new one
opal night
I mean, 850W is fine for a single 3080
Like, enermax 850 DF
$129
I was reading some threads about people with a 3080 and using blender and having PSU issues
I'm not sure I'd trust a 1000W PSU to handle both at the same time under load
crimson galleon
Idk why that would be, rendering doesn't use much power at all
My GPU sits at 65C fully maxed out at 30% fans when rendering
CUDA uses more power tho
opal night
Temperature isn't an indicator of power
crimson galleon
But nobody uses CUDA
I'll have to recheck my power draw when I get home
I've been chosing between these two PSU's
opal night
It's not even that
crimson galleon
opal night
Check this graph out, it's power transients
IE, power spikes before the limiters kick in that you'll never see
crimson galleon
That's really damn stupid, they should have designed the cards better
A 500 watt peak draw is just asking for issues
opal night
3090 hits 550W
crimson galleon
I'd like to have a little more headroom than 850, just because I don't want an obnoxiously loud PSU, and more options for the future
opal night
More options for what though?
crimson galleon
Lord knows how much the 4080/4090 will pull
opal night
850 will do a 3090 just fine too
You're overthinking lol
Go 1000W then, it's only money
crimson galleon
I do have hopes to get a 4080/4090 in the future, and I don't want a PSU for just a single PC

I had nothing to do except homework so ADHD brain decided to open my old PSU
Vintage, you were going to say something
?
summer gorge
But I don't know the **exact** on what makes it dangerous
The capacitors are made cheaply and not very well and the over current protection is set too high
Both of which are the perfect recipe for explosions
And fires
And dead parts
And possibly a burned down house if you aren’t careful
Tier D and tier E, respectively
And by that I mean potentially dangerous in multiple scenarios and only used for very cheap iGPU systems
E being the dangerous one and D being the iGPU one
There are two PSUs in Tier B and C, respectively, but they are at the low end of the spectrum even in B and C anyways
And I don’t believe you mentioned either of them anyways so it doesn’t matter

Are the front panel cables and HD audio cables supposed to be able to come out pretty easily? I’m using the nzxt h510 elite case

From the motherboard you might need some wiggleing
If you go to hard I couldn’t think of what you would break
noble leaf
just dont mess up the usb 3.0 connector lol
thats why i only have 1 working front usb
if i want 2 i need new motherboard
edgy tiger
Yeah the 3 connector is fragile

i have one
but it hasnt blown up yet
but i also only have a 1060 running off it
opal night
Well, it's not that it will just blow up
BUt if anything bad happens, there are no protections and things will burn
dawn matrix
things in the power supply or things in the rest of the system?

ahghg

It literally blew up under load testing so......hopefully GN gets a recall going and you get a free good one

Can't find my PSU on the tierlist but it's a EVGA G1+ 850 W 80+ Gold, any thoughts on it? Going to run a 5900x and eventually a 3070/3080 on it.
elfin trout
@quick dirge Right here :)

quick dirge
<@!470318177545486336> Right here :)
Could it run a 5900x and 3080?
Not quite sure if it'd handle it or not
elfin trout
I would think so
quick dirge
Alright, I'm just slightly worried about it tripping under heavy GPU load
had that happen with my current build's first GPU upgrade
daring marsh
Could it run a 5900x and 3080?
i would recommend something better for that
thats high end imo
quick dirge
yeah, prob gonna go with a 3070 then.
I'd assume the draw is probably just lower enough that it'd be able to handle it
daring marsh
i think it would be ok, id just be cautious with overclocks
daring marsh
i meant overclocks on the 3080
scenic lance
i meant overclocks on the 3080
both
both will increase by 100W
well
3080 probs 50w
scenic lance
yeah I probably won't be overclocking either too far
Do you already have the PSU or?
quick dirge
Yeah
scenic lance
damn
quick dirge
Did a bit more digging and 3080 should overclock with my 5900x at the level I want it to on 850w, I’m not planning to push either super far like I said so I’ll make sure to be cautious when overclocking both at the same time
willow sierra
Did a bit more digging and 3080 should overclock with my 5900x at the level I wa...
While digging, what did you find about the RX 6800 compared to the 3080? I have seen a few websites like techspot saying they are at least on the par, if not the RX is better
quick dirge
Didn't find much but from what I know 6800 should draw less than the 3080
dunno how much exactly though
willow sierra
I am inclined on the 6800 because it has 16gb of vram, and because it seems cheaper 😄
Some websites says it's better than 3070 and 3080, some say the viceversa
The results are close anyway
willow sierra
I am thinking about the Bethesda games like Skyrim and FO 😄
If you use textures you do need quite a lot
quick dirge
mhm
willow sierra
But 16 yes, seems a bit of overkill
quick dirge
I'd assume a 6800 would run on 850w
probably 750
but yeah a 6800 will draw less than a 3080
by how much precisely I dunno really
willow sierra
Or I win the lottery and I buy the best videocard on the market with the best cpu and I am done 😄
No more issues
quick dirge
yeah
quick dirge
I am inclined on the 6800 because it has 16gb of vram, and because it seems chea...
if you are going 6800 though, there is AMD direct drop today so if you're in the buying phase, two hours from now would be a good time to try and snatch one 👀
willow sierra
Thank you but I am still studying 😄 The GPU and the CPU will be the last 2 purchases.

exotic temple
Anyone have any particular feelings on the design of the Thor v2
Other than that it’s on the older side
summer gorge
it looks like it has zero airflow
exotic temple
I’ve seen it in action and for the pc I’d be putting inside it’d be better than the case I have now
I also have an amazing deal on it
summer gorge
how much?
exotic temple
$40

I’m going for an older aesthetic, no tempered glass and some 5.25 in bays

metallicgear neo air is a cheaper p360a
frame is extremely similar
opal night
You ain't joking. Cable management looks nice too
Do you know if their RGB uses proprietary connectors?
quasi kraken
Do you know if their RGB uses proprietary connectors?
no idea but the case has a built in hardware controller iirc
one of these buttons at the top
opal night
Are all their cases that nice?
teal flare
they have one similar to an o11, then some other cases in matx/itx with different front panels
wanton briar
I suggested Neo Air before but someone yelled at me lmao
I don't think people realize that they are actually pretty good
opal night
Looks like a nice case TBH
scenic lance
Can y'all give me the name of a case with 3 fan holes in front, top 240mm rad support, front panel similar to 220t, midtower, under 100$
snow spoke
275r airflow
other than that i can't think of anything that's similar to the front panel design of the 220t
snow spoke
that could work
scenic lance
supports up to 280, open front panel, glass panel.
also 5000D if you need something even more massive.
snow spoke
but tbh the 275r looks more like the 220t
scenic lance
but tbh the 275r looks more like the 220t
snow spoke
yeah and idk if it's still on sale at newegg
55 bucks and you get a black case with three fans
last time i checked, lemme confirm rq
scenic lance
Also if you do buy a 4000D
snow spoke
yeah it's still 55 bucks
noble leaf
That 275r airflow is a nice lookin case
scenic lance
note that try to not lose any screws
etc.
Corsair is low on stock for those parts.
snow spoke
Also if you do buy a 4000D
4000d only comes with 2 fans smh
scenic lance
I RMA'D my old 4000D airflow for mesh issues and they said, screws and parts were low.
scenic lance
4000d only comes with 2 fans smh
That is why you buy fans lol
noble leaf
I'd say the 275r is a better deal
noble leaf
Id put in a couple 3 sets of corsair rgb fans and make it look goooood

Probably. But atleast i got it on sale.

NZXT has a case which is literal fire
noble leaf
Zero issues
scenic lance
but suprisingly PSU's aren't that bad iirc
summer gorge
they exist
nothing special about them
they arent exemplary nor do they catch fire
scenic lance
IIRC they don't catch fire or blow up right?
summer gorge
correct
scenic lance
So atleast they are somewhat okay.
See, MODEL>Brand
We talk trash about h510 cause its actual fire
lol
summer gorge
I think theres one thats D-tier but thats it
scenic lance
but nobody talks trash much about NZXT PSU's
Just like FSP.
FSP makes good PSU's. but some have accidents
summer gorge
the NZXT E PSU (not to be confused with E-tier) is one of the highest rated power supplies on the list
scenic lance
275r airflow
does it have top rad support. I have vengeance rgb pro. Would it fit?

Cid?
scenic lance
Depends though
ASUS claims CID all the time apparently
Because they claimed CID on my board, emailed CEO office and looked at it, no signs of damage lol.
scenic lance
still plenty of people that complain
opal night
Search for something and you'll find it
Even AFTER they're fixing it for free now you're still ranting. :/
scenic lance
Im not ranting SMH MY HEAD
ITS A FACT.
They literally said
"We found no damage"
SMH SCREW THIS.
opal night
I don't understand. You fought the man and won. As it should be. Why aren't you happy?
scenic lance
Because i wasted all of my energy fighting for it. And its a common thing they pull.
scenic lance
watch it go through quality assurance and then not even fix the right issue.
and then another 3 weeks of no board, waiting for shipping and another 15$ fee.
low scaffold

Looking for help with my build.
My case has a USB 3.1 Gen 2 front panel connection, yet my motherboard doesn't have the input support.
Is there an adapter that doesn't convert the USB 3.0 cable? Since I'm already using it.
scenic lance
Ah well my situation is i bent pins on my motherboard for the 20pin cable so I can't entirely use that port.
So it's running through another adapter lol
wanton briar
Fix the pins then or get a splitter
scenic lance
Can't fix cause the pins are gone, so I guess splitter
What type of splitter should I look for?
@wanton briar does this seem alright? Sorry for the long url
scenic lance
Oh I see
I suppose I am SOL then since my motherboard pins are gone and seeing as I don't have anymore pci slots those won't be used
