    [SOLVED] Uninterrupted Power Supply Recommendations, what do you use?

    That is the one I really did want ( seasonic snow silent, but I couldnt justify the 95$ price difference so I went with the gold. I did go back and forth so many times and tried selling myself on that idea of it will look so much better but I wanted to put that 100 into another area for now. I...

    Question Cablemod Pro Extensions or Full kit?

    Any idea what turn around times are like with custom cables from CableMod? Is this a 1-2 week thing or like a 4-6 week wait?

    [SOLVED] Uninterrupted Power Supply Recommendations, what do you use?

    I just had a chance to read this complete article: right off the start I see they are labeling the cyberpower 1500 PFC unit as adaptive wave and the other 3 are Pure Sine. is this something I should take note of, or is it an error on the Toms Hardware review? This is kind of throwing me off as I...

    Question Cablemod Pro Extensions or Full kit?

    Question Cablemod Pro Extensions or Full kit?

    Would you recommend the extensions or the full kit? I have a seasonic 750 focus plus -Pretty sure they make a kit for my PSU. - my whole PSU is hidden though, only going to see the end of the cables going into the motherboard.

    [SOLVED] Uninterrupted Power Supply Recommendations, what do you use?

    As I view the price points on Amazon currently look, it seems the 1500 at 200$ is a better option than the 1350 at 190$ or the 1000 at 150$ - I know the 1000 would work but the 1500 may be the worth the extra 50$ - or I just want the biggest version lol Here is my PC part picker list! I have...

    Question Cablemod Pro Extensions or Full kit?

    Thought I was done but after buying so many parts I might as well get some nice cables to tie it all together. I am pretty lost on what cablemod kit I would need or if I should just purchase each individual wire I believe I need. The problem is, I dont even know exaclty ever cable I will need...

    Wow! So much info, I cannot thank you enough! I too believe everything electrical and important or valuable should have a UPS. I have always worked off laptops but want to ensure my first build is safe. I do not get many power outages where I am but one storm or car accident on a power pole...

    Question Motherboard Lacking: How to ADD internal USB 3.0 Ports

    Thank you! I realize now I may just have enough. My case has a usb c port and 2 usb 3.0 ports on the front panel. I plan to use rgb fans on the usb 2.0 port. I believe that is all I need for USB support. My z390 Designare has: 1 x USB Type-C™ port with USB 3.1 Gen 2 support, available...

    [SOLVED] Uninterrupted Power Supply Recommendations, what do you use?

    Hey guys, finishing up my first build and looking into an Uninterupted Power Supply (UPS) to ensure a power outage doesn't wipe out on of my 12tb HD or anything else. I have read some reviews stating its not needed, some claim its added security, some say it can cause more issues, I think it...

    Question Fan Hub and RGB Fans, How does this work?

    Just to keep my own thread moving: Realizing in order for me to control the fan speeds I need the commander pro. Not sure I want to spend another 60$ just to control fan speed. Corsair has so many boxes and hubs it has made me not even want to add RGB to my build. Thermaltake option seems...

    Question 12TB HDD Recommendations - WD or SG?

    I did not see an HGST option that did not have one of these features. If there is an even cheaper version than the one I linked above I would be all over that. This one: LINK: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CC48DYL/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A10XTVRAJRWPGO&psc=1
