    Buy RAM with AMD EXPO profiles.

    Question Gigabyte H61M-DS2 3.0 with Gt 1030?

    168w @12v. That's nowhere near a 430w PSU. And it's old, very old. From the Pentium 4 era, early 2000s.

    Question black marker or spot on PSU capacitors.

    A new PSU always smells now and then the first few weeks of use. It's the solder flux used in manufacturing.

    Question Can I use the split-end of a PCIe cable to power an 8 pin GPU?

    Usually the first connector is rated for higher current because the wires are thicker and the connector is a HCS type. So it's better to use the first connector on the cable than the daisy chained connector.

    Question PC restarts ?

    LOL, it's higher rated in the relative performance chart than any Seasonic. Even the RM1000e is above the Focus ATX3.1.

    Question No display, fans are spinning ?

    Don't know what happened inside the case but it's a mess. Some motherboard screws are missing, the GPU is not mounted to the back of the case and the PSU is old junk. When did you buy this >10 year old system?

    Question I need advice for a new PSU ?

    Corsair RM650e ATX v3.1 (2025 model) available? It's ultra silent https://hwbusters.com/psus/corsair-rm650e-atx-v3-1-psu-review/9/

    Question Is 750 watts PSU enough for 5070 Ti?

    What exact model? Some from that era have shut down issues with recent GPUs.

    Question My 650w PSU only has a 6-pin for GPU ?

    You don't want to power a 1080 Ti with a junk group regulated PSU like that. It's a bad unit because the voltage regulation is horrible and it lacks essential protection features.

    Question Will this PSU be good enough for my build ?

    What does the NZXT C1000/C1200 ATX3.1 cost?

    Question Will upgrading my PSU stop noise from PSU fan (9070xt upgrade)

    No, only upgrading to a more silent PSU would stop the noise. Take a look at the noiise chart in https://hwbusters.com/best_picks/best-atxv3-pcie5-ready-psus-picks-hardware-busters/4/

    Question Suspected dodgy PSU

    There's no reason the get 750w if 850w costs the same. Decent 850w ATX3.x units for a reasonable price: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/dtHqqs/cougar-gex-x2-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-gex-x2-850...
