I've since purchased another psu tester and have received an EVGA 1000GS, which both testers show failed with PG = 0. I also took the questionable MSI unit to a local shop, and to quote their tech, "My tester couldn't calculate a PG value". Next week, I'll be receiving an NZXT 1000w psu and...

Thanks for looking this up - since this is a new build, backward compatibility shouldn't be an issue.

No longer in contact. The Corsair psu has already been returned, and I plan to take the msi unit to a local computer shop and see how their testers do.

Did not.

The tester I'm using is a cheap one, but both Corsair and MSI tech support recommended that I return the units based on the out of range low PG values. The power supplies in question are for a new build, and both gave low PG values on first powerup. And yes, I think it unlikely that two...

What are the implications if PG drops below 100 'at times'? Would you trust a new build to a PSU that fails what appears to be a simple no-load test?

Corsair, PG = 80, MSI, PG=90

My PSU tester shows low PG values for two new 1000W units, one from Corsair and one from MSI. The tester was purchased in 2017 and gives an in-range value of 180 for a known good Corsair 750W supply. Both MSI and Corsair tech support recommended returning the units. Should I keep buying new...

Thanks...

I'd like to verify that a Z790 AORUS Elite AX will not be lane-starved with an RTX 3070 video card and 4 Samsung 2TB SSDs. Thanks

There's no requirement to run XP. The machine needs to run Artsoft MACH3 software and drive either a parallel port or a UC100 USB-Parallel converter. Budgetwise, something in the $500 range should do.

Need advice on building a cost-effective replacement for a 2008-vintage Intel/XP system used to drive a CNC machine. Doesn't need a lot of horsepower, but I'd like reliable components. Thanks..

Solved with Windows disk manager.

Installed hard drives on SATA2 and SATA3, and the drives aren't being detected. I have Samsung 960 Pro SSDs in each m.2 slot, and the way I read page 34 of the manual, SATA2 and 3 should be available. As near as I can tell, both SATA ports are enabled in the bios. Gigabyte Z270X Gaming 7...

I'd take a look at Genie Backup. https://www.genie9.com/business/genie_backup_manager_Pro/overview.aspx
