One is EVGA G3 650W and the other Corsair RM 850x.

I thought I was saving time. Didn’t try the paper clip test. The new PSU gives power to the motherboard as the lights go on, but doesn’t boot. So the PSU appears fine. I just need to install all new cables and not just some.

Yeh. The only cables I changed were the MBU 24-pin cable and GPU cable. Left the toner cables from previous PSU kit.

Yeh, unfortunately. Thought I was saving time. Now it appears it was a mistake. I appear to have gotten if lightly. So if I try to install again, don’t be lazy and install all the new cables? stuart.

I have just purchased an RTX 3080 FE and I have decided to upgrade my current 650W PSU to an 850W PSU. I installed the new PSU wired everything up -only installing the new cables for the MBU and PCI-E- I left the old CPU and SATA cables in (for ease of installation). I turned on the power switch...

Hi there. Thanks for getting back to me. It just means I can spent half as much and get twice as much storage as an SSD as running speed isn't the main goal for the HDD. Just somwhere to store all the games I play on and off.

I have my hub downstairs that is connected to my Dads PC. I have the job connected to a TP Link Ethernet plug that is connected (through the mains) to my PC upstairs where I run an Ethernet cable from the other TP Link plug into my PC. Whenever I turn on my PC, the broadband will crash every...

Hello guys. I am in the process of building my PC. Installed the CPU, installed the RAM. Was just about to put the thermal paste on my cpu and install the CPU cooler, but thought it best that I check the bracket and make sure it reaches the stand offs (thank God). I did so an they line up fine...

Hello folks. Managed to grab my self a fair bargain on an i5 8600k. Got my gtx 1070 also. Just need a board that will support it and any 16gb DDR4 Ram 2400 MHz. Got any recommendations. I’m wanting to keep it fairly cheap if possible. £100-£150 if possible (for the mobo) Cheers :D
