Is the G2 as silent? The PC Power & Cooling Silencer MK III 750W would be $160, while the EVGA G2 is $110, what would be a power supply closer to $160, and completely silent?

I'm currently using an XFX TS650 80+ Bronze, but it is just too loud so I decided to upgrade to a different brand and can't decide which. I'm stuck between two PSUs, EVGA 750G2 80+ Gold Certified or PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk III 750W 80+ Gold Certified. Computer specs if necessary: CPU...

It seems this is a normal thing, and I really don't want it because after actually giving it a run with playing a few games (Which I don't believe are all that intensive; Sims 3&4, Minecraft on near High settings) it sounded ready to give out. The motherboard temp barely broke 50 degrees so its...

I recently built a PC (as in yesterday) and one thing I noticed is the PSU is louder than I would imagine, as in its louder than my GPU fans, case fans, and CPU Cooler fans. When I was breadboarding my setup, the PSU wasn't so loud. I don't understand how finally installing and setting up the...

I have the 14 pins plugged into the graphics card, removed all but 1 ram stick, I have 8 pins plugged into the top of the CPU aside from the 24 pin one. I'm going to try reconnecting / rebuilding to see if I put something in the wrong place. Also about my motherboard, which is slightly...

I finished building it, and the computer is not starting, there's a green LED on on the motherboard but nothing else activates when pushing the power button on the case itself, nor the green button. I'm not sure what it could be, but I was having difficulty when it came to the PSU cables because...

Another issue I've come come across is the Sata cables from the PSU that are meant for the SSD, HDD, and DVR, aren't going into each of the devices, or does this require increased pressure to fit on? For whatever reason it won't connect?

After trying to get this fan to attach for quite some time, I simply don't think it will fit. The two screws on either side won't mount with the brackets that came with the fan. I don't know if anyone can confirm this fan is incompatible with this motherboard but I guess my best bet is to just...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roFb3TNePIg This is one of the videos I'm watching, (idk if we're allowed to post links). In the vid says to use slots furthest from CPU socket to keep it cool. I ended up putting all 4 on one side, unless someone suggests otherwise. I've come across two issues...

Another random question, are the RAM sticks supposed to be so hard to push into the motherboard? It's require a lot of force? Also would placement of ram sticks matter for my motherboard? It has 8 slots and so should they all go on one side? Or 8 GB on one side and 8 GB on the other? Or it...

Hi! Building my first gaming PCs and while watching a Youtube video, I noticed that the guy building the PC said something along the lines of placement of ram sticks for better cooling, and wanted to know what exactly he means and how pivotal is this? The parts I'm using are: PCPartPicker part...

I'm so sorry to keep this thread alive, but it's better I post in one thread than make a new one each time(?) XD. But basically I kind of want to have my options open as far as the future proofing/ and what else I might want to do with this computer. So I'm basically wondering if a better PSU is...

I decided to buy some Arctic 5 paste since I heard it was better and don't want issues over $6. But one last thing, about the CPU Cooler, will the Phanteks PH-TC12DX_BK 68.5 CFM CPU Cooler suffice? I've seen some using Corsair H100 with a similar 5820K build and some using Noctua D15 and the...
