My friend wants to get an older pc going again. The delema is upgrade parts or start fresh and build a whole new setup. The budget is 600$ and my friend won't go 4K for many many years. Current specs Asus m4n98td Evo Amd phentom 2 1090t black ed Gskill ddr2 2000mhz 8gb Nvidia reference card...

Yes. I recommend evga 850w g2 psu https://m.newegg.com/Product/Index?itemNumber=N82E16817438018&Keyword=evga%20850%20g2

I had this issue before. Fixed it by switching from 60hz to 59hz on a 4K screen.

That's not ok to do that as stated in above comment. I recommend this evga 850w g2 psu. Or the 750w version would suffice as well. https://m.newegg.com/Product/Index?itemNumber=N82E16817438018&Keyword=evga%20850%20g2 That psu is a beast. It's my psu as well and runs an i7 4790k and evga...

I have an evo 212 cooler master. And yes I'll be gaming in 4K, I have the rog swift 4K gsync monitor on the way. Be here sometime next week. I've always been an sli guy but that's good to know one 1080 would be enough. First sli was GeForce 8800 in sli when that was a new set up lol.

Right on. I figured that as well but better safe then sorry, mainly wait a few days for a new psu if it was an issue. Now say if I wanted to water cool would I be in a bind as I would need to power a water pump too? I've always been intrigued about water cooling and been dieing to see what my...

Hi I'm currently looking to upgrade my gpu from gtx 560 ti sli to the rog 1080 oc in sli. I'm concerned if my psu will support them in sli as they draw 300 watt max, a total of 600 watts. Between the sli gpu cpu ssd's and lights and fans I'll be around 700-725 wattage draw. Will that be too...

Yep I thought that would be a good one the 850 g2 for 100$ can't beat it.

Nothing bad against the old Thermaltake tr2 rx 850w lasted five years. I decided to add a new 1440p asus gsync screen and oc the gpu duel sli (EVGA gtx 980 sc acx 2.0) the psu gave out. It shut down and would turn on for 5 seconds off then on and so forth. I grabbed a 500watt psu to try and pc...

4.4ghz at 1.155 volts ran 3 min then crashed temps were 85-90c. Core #3 runs 5-7c cooler then the others.

I dropped the voltage to 1.16 seems stable only 20 second run in the test. 88-90c. Going to try 1.155 next and keep going down till it's not stable.

I have an extra large tower plenty of room. The 212evo is clean I have the evga gtx980 sc acx 2.0 coolers on the gpus Lots of case fans intake 4 in front exhaust 2 in back Side covers off Another cooler is oem Intel I can try Thin layer of Arctic silver 5

Would the cooler master 240m water cooler be a good choice? 99$

What about a different cooler? Possibly I can use less vcore and stay stable. Idk till I try.

Have a different cooler I should use? I'm scared of water and money is not an issue.
