  1. When to replace PSU.

    So... what? I'm not really interested in what ifs, more interested in probabilities. Which probability is higher, given power supplies of equal price as brand new? (A) a new PSU will take out your components on the first power up (B) an old PSU that has exceeded its warranty length by a couple...
  2. When to replace PSU.

    Nothing's been verified here, pcgeek11 just posted his opinion. My opinion is if you use it until it doesn't work, there's a risk that it will be too late and some damage is already done to your components. OVP and other protections aren't 100% reliable and probably become somewhat less...
  3. Cheap phone vs expensive phone

    Expensive phones, if paid by employer :cool:. Cheap phones, if paid by me. Although 32GB internal storage is minimum. 16GB doesn't cut it and using an SD card is a PITA.
  4. What car sounds best to you?

    One that makes as little noise as possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0PMM9GBEBM#t=2m
  5. Best PSU brands these days?

    Also check out EVGA GS, GQ, G2, G3. The ones that have bad price/quality. Any Corsair unit in and of itself is perfectly fine, if the price is right. They're not going to damage your components. Of course, features also need to meet your minimum requirements (e.g. do you care about fan noise or...
  6. X5470(mod) and P5QL PRO need suggestion for psu.

    I don't see how you could get to 331W without a heavily overclocked CPU or a much more powerful graphics card. But, a decent 450W unit would still handle a 331W load just fine (though the PSU fan would be noisy)
  7. X5470(mod) and P5QL PRO need suggestion for psu.

    There are no "local made" computer power supplies. They're all made in factories, mostly in China. Surely it has some info on the label regarding its brand or manufacturer? In any case, with such a high 5V capacity, that sounds like an outdated PSU. PSU calculators tend to overexaggerate...
  8. X5470(mod) and P5QL PRO need suggestion for psu.

    What exactly is the 450W PSU you have now? Make/model? Corsair CX450 available for $20 after rebate. It's cheap & good like you said.
  9. Is it just me or do the people in this picture look weird?

    The dude's expression looks weird because his eyes are pointing in different directions. The lady isn't excited to have her luggage dropped off, she's excited to be in a photo. Or maybe someone just said "cheese". Yeah, I post here something like once a year these days, and even then in a...
  10. Case fans that aren't $20!

    Arctic BioniX F120 PWM is excellent value (only $13-14 a piece with 6 year warranty) and super quiet with a wide RPM range. Haven't tried these myself yet but they look very promising. You can also easily string them together with the included connectors, so you could have say 3-4 of them all...
  11. Metro Exodus will likely be a DX12 title (speculation)

    Witcher 3 from 2015 had better looking grass. Hopefully, the actual game will be much more advanced than the tech demo.
  12. Semi passive PSU, however...

    You could also consider quiet but not semi passive PSU's. I have EVGA 650GQ in my current build, it is not semi passive but case fans on low RPM still make more noise. Semi passive seems overrated for PSU's because they use large fans that are pleasant and quiet at low RPM. Semi passive...
  13. Tempered glass and EFI/RFI

    I think it's mostly due to cost and convenience reasons. SECC sheets are cheap and easy to bend, cut, pierce etc. The ideal material for a case, from the manufacturer's perspective. That it happens to shield from EMI is probably pretty irrelevant in the consumer segment. Almost all home users...
  14. First gen i5/i7 power supply selection

    How used are those power supplies? Is either of them much less used up than the other? Are you sure the Zalman has two 6-pin connectors? Realhardtechx and PCspecs say it has one, which makes more sense to me given the low wattage.

    It'd be easier to give feedback if you responded to previous feedback given, otherwise it feels like feedback is not being received. Your thoughts on this one? What about this? What do you think of my ITX suggestion? Apart from the fact that it's using an Intel CPU. You could go 2400G with...

    Good point. Not what I had in mind but wish I'd thought of that :P
  17. New build

    I don't know. I can imagine use cases where saving an extra few bucks on the cost of the motherboard would be worth losing HDMI or DisplayPort. The cheapest is the one that you'll have the easiest time selling at a small net $ loss, so anything that's popular and not too expensive. Best bet -...

    You're right, got those the wrong way around. Seems however that HDCP support through DP requires a separate license (wikipedia)
  19. New build

    Because DP is not free to implement (requires a license and a royalty payment). It's also fairly unnecessary for the vast majority of integrated graphics setups - people who setup their monitors with DP probably tend to also use dedicated graphics.

    I just want to point out that Intel i3 also has integrated graphics that would be perfectly fine for your needs. Video cards being expensive aren't a reason to go with AMD unless you're specifically building an entry level gaming PC or HTPC. (Disclaimer: I'm not defending Intel.) Officially...
  21. Stuff you didn't know and probably don't care about

    Well, unless she goes through plastic surgery. I read about someone in South Korea (IIRC) who didn't tell the guy she had basically a plastic face, they even got married and he only found out about her true genetic face when they got kids who were extremely ugly. I think they divorced after.
  22. New build

    ATX case still not needed for a build that doesn't even benefit from a graphics card. Your motherboard is microATX anyway so you could just go with a microATX case. But, if you really want a massive case with lots of empty space inside, that Phanteks Eclipse is a fine choice. I have a Phanteks...

    There's no need for a proper full fledged desktop computer. A mini PC or a laptop would be ideal IMO. Not sure if using an old PSU is a good idea. What is the make/model and how old is it? Options: a) custom built mini-ITX or microATX PC b) mini barebone PC (plus whatever you need to add to...
  24. Which size PSU do I need for this?

    400W is perfectly safe for that system. Since it's for music production and not gaming, you don't need extra headroom for upgrading the graphics card. But 20A@+12V is only 240W, what ridiculous crappy quality 500W or even 400W unit has such a weak +12V rail? Stay away from units like that. +12V...
  25. Corsair TX550M (2017) Review "The $80 Power Supply For Almost Everyone" (now lower priced)

    RMx series units have rifle bearings as well and 10 year warranty, and that's a more expensive series than the TXM. So, no surprise there. Seasonic Focus Plus's fan is more or less the same, it's a Hong Hua FDB (not a real FDB fan). Still, 10 year warranty on that one. I suppose if the...
  26. What should I upgrade to allow faster fluid multi tab browsing in Chrome?

    There's an extension for Chrome that allows you to put inactive tabs to sleep so they don't use up RAM in the background, and you can configure the timeout for inactivity as well as whitelist sites that you don't want to go inactive. Chrome Web Store - The Great Suspender
  27. Upgrading older computer for gaming

    I would keep the SSD and RAM, sell everything else (except perhaps the case and PSU if they're good), and buy a used LGA1150 or LGA1151 i5 CPU and motherboard and the best graphics card you can fit into the budget.
  28. Upgrading monitor from 1080p to 1440p

    Yeah those specs look pretty balanced for 1440p gaming. Basically any of the GSync monitors mentioned above is going to be a good upgrade, but I suggest you take at least a quick look at reviews (mainly pcmonitors.info, tftcentral.co.uk, maybe tom's hardware) and decide which one you like best...
  29. Upgrading monitor from 1080p to 1440p

    Acer XG270HU uses FreeSync which is not supported on NVIDIA cards. Also, I think an Acer TN panel will be a downgrade coming from a BenQ TN panel, image quality-wise. If you go TN, go with some other brand than Acer. I hear the Asus PG278Q actually has pretty good image quality for a TN panel...
  30. Upgrading PC parts help

    ^ EDIT: But try the GTX 1070 first, it's already plenty fast for a 1440p GSync display in most situations.
  31. Upgrading PC parts help

    GTX 1080 isn't a good upgrade. GTX 1080 Ti is what you want if a single GTX 1070 doesn't cut it. We already know what Coffee Lake brings - more cores at a similar performance per core compared to Skylake. There is definitely one thing wrong in "trying to get more core": it costs money. Why...
  32. Upgrading PC parts help

    Playing on a 1440p GSync monitor with a single GTX 1070, the i7-7700K will be more than fast enough. With no existing CPU bottleneck, Coffee Lake would be mostly wasted as an upgrade, the only useful improvement from more cores would be when multitasking. A much better idea is to sell the GTX...
  33. Did I buy the wrong PSU?

    You can connect the cables? I don't understand what you think is the problem
  34. Where can I find SATA To 4-3 Pin Adapter for Extra two Fans?

    Yeah that's perfectly understandable. External would be the way to go but that's twice the cost of a 5.25" drive, not really worth it when you already have a 5.25" drive.
  35. Where can I find SATA To 4-3 Pin Adapter for Extra two Fans?

    Do you actually use the DVD drive? I haven't needed one for many years, since all the games are on Steam, GOG etc., all the drivers are on the internet, all the movies are on streaming services, all the operating systems are better installed from USB modules, and all the backups are on external...
  36. Where can I find SATA To 4-3 Pin Adapter for Extra two Fans?

    Manufacturer specs says you can: http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/mastercase-5/ Also the manual page says "3 x 120mm or 140mm". There's almost certainly something about the front fan installation that you've misunderstood, or you've maybe mistaken what case you have? I just find it...
  37. Where can I find SATA To 4-3 Pin Adapter for Extra two Fans?

    I can see the pictures now, it was probably something on my end. 73C for the hottest core is good, there's no practical reason why you should have lower temperatures. But if 71C or 72C makes you happy... Just because there's a diagram doesn't mean that's how you should setup airflow. I could...
  38. Where can I find SATA To 4-3 Pin Adapter for Extra two Fans?

    But why not install one of those fans you have laying around in the front? Your case can accommodate three fans in the front. 3 front + 1 top + 1 back is better than 2 front + 2 top + 1 back. Point #1 is not valid given that you can also run them at 100% with the motherboard. As for point #2...
