    Review Corsair 275R Airflow Review: Impressive Performance, Outlandish Style

    Why use a large PSU? A SSF PSU from Seasonic would fit nicely in there and leave room for the hard drive! All in all I'd say the only thing I like about it was the color, not much else!

    Need opinion on whether My PSU is not enough or dying.

    okay, so I found out that it was my card. I RMA the R9 390 and received another bad card a few weeks ago (black screen after 3 hours of play and then it got workse. So I sent it back and borrowed my friends spare R9 390 which i will probably buy from him since now my PC is doing great. Today MSI...

    Need opinion on whether My PSU is not enough or dying.

    Well yes of course, but what of the scenario? I bought the PSU based on previous visits here and to Overclockers. And like I stated, based on several calculators i picked so I had enough headroom in case I wanted to overclock or get a second card. So based on the issues do you think it could...

    I respect what you had to say, really. It's not buyers remorse or anything like that. I'm really not a fan of Intel to begin with and my dad is on a budget lifestyle since retirement. His previous build, stated above, I think gives him some things he can still use. In the. End it w I ll be up to...

    Computer automatically turns itself on after shut down

    To the OP. I had this issue on 2 PCs. Based on advice here I changed out my PSU and the issue stopped happening. I took the opportunity to upgrade them too since both were stock PSUS and both PCS never had the issue again. To Xmark123. It may be beyond d PSU now!

    Really? I've read nothing but good reviews about those parts! Did some research on several sites including here. The same Sabertooth 990 is still supposed to be a very good mobo and the 8350 is a step up from his current cpu. He's not ocing and really I see no problems with his current rig to...

    Win 10 new build showing half ram usable

    Okay, so I went home and blew some air down the ram slots, seated each module separately into the slot and found that this time one refused to post the computer by itself in each slot I tried. I think that solves the mystery. So either it was going bad and yet still posting, or I had failed to...

    Indeed. I think I will still try to put some air on that to clean any possible material out though. I will report back.
