I just got done building a new PC (all new parts) and I am having an issue. Here are the specs: • Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz LGA 1151 Boxed Processor • Gigabyte GA-Z170XP-SLI LGA 1151 ATX Intel Motherboard • Corsair Carbide Series 300R Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case •...

This particular PSU (SeaSonic M12II 520 Bronze EVO Edition 520W) does have a molex connector. It has multiple SATA connector and one FDD. What type of adapter could I use for this/

I am considering purchasing the Rosewill DataHub (RDCR-11004) however I am unsure if this will be compatible with my current setup and I wanted to verify. Here are my current components: ■ Power Supply - SeaSonic M12II 520 Bronze EVO Edition 520W ■ Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-Z170XP-SLI LGA 1151...

Here is the answer from Seasonic... I would say the efficiency of Pure Sine-Wave UPS is better than Simulated Sine-Wave UPS, thus we suggest you to choose from Pure Sine-Wave UPS. However, Simulated Sine-Wave UPS(most of APC or Cyberpower) is also workable with 520W psu.

Have not made the purchase yet. I am going to a local store (MicroCenter) and I am hoping they have some nice discounts. But I figure it's going to be roughly around $1000. Might want to ask around the forums to about some opinions on the Corsair CX series PSU. I was looking at those also...

Thank you for everyone's help. i end up going with the WD Black after finding a really good deal on it. $170 + tax for the 4 TB model.

I looked around the Internet and several sites and found comparability issues with Active PFC PSU (like the Seasonic M12ii) will not work properly with the APC stepped approximation models (i.e. the non-SMART lower end models). I have not been able to find any consistent answer to this. some...

Thanks for the info. Based on this information I am leaning towards the APC BE650G1 Back-UPS 650VA or the APC BR700G Back-UPS Pro 700VA. Has anyone had any experience with either of these? Looks like around a $30 difference to get the display and I am guessing a few other features. Not...

Thanks for the info. I was looking at APC (along with CyberPower) but I am trying to figure out the size that I will need...referring to the VA (volt ampere). I did some calculations and it looks like I am drawing about 350-400 watts based on my components and allowing for for future growth...

I am looking for a recommendation on a decent UPS for general everyday use. My thought is I would spend $50-$75 and find something that will keep the computer on long enough to shutdown everything during a blackout. Ideally I would want to find something that would auto power down the computer...

Thanks to everyone's help here I was able to finally determine all the parts I need to build a PC. Here is the final build and I want to verify everything is compatible, and see if anyone has any additional suggestions. This is a standard PC that I will be using for everyday use. I don't...

I was wondering if anyone has any experience buying the cheaper SATA III cables vs the more pricely ones. You can find them anywhere from a under a $1 to over $10. I read a few sites that says there is no real difference in the cables. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts?

Thanks for the info. Is this worth the extra cost? The warranty is great, but for general use how much of an impact would this have. Looks like it's a difference of around $60 between the two drives. WD Blue 4TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive (WD40EZRZ) $137 WD Black 4TB Performance Desktop...

I am looking for a SATA III 4 TB drive for general storage in my machine. This will be in addition to a SSD drive that I will have installed. I have typically bought Western Digital or Seagate in the past and have had good luck with those. I have a few questions I would like to have answered...
