Good to know. I had comparatively no idea what I was doing when I originally built my PC. This PSU has actually lasted me about 3.5 years. Definitely time to save for a new one.

The physical Installation Guide packaged with the card. Picture

Thanks for the reply. I might upgrade later, after my budget has recovered some. Haven't really tested it yet, since I didn't want to damage anything because of power issues. I guess I'll see how it works.

Thank you for your input. It's strange that the guide says 650W when the manufacturer really only says 550W.

My Rig - PC Part Picker PC Part Picker only had XC versions of the card, but I only got the regular Gaming Black I just installed a new RTX 2070 Gaming graphics card to my computer. When I bought it (from NewEgg) the website said 550W PSU minimum. When I went to install the new card, the...

I have an SSD in GPT (which has the OS on it mobo is UEFI compatible etc) and a HDD in MBR format (from an old PC just has files and games on it) There shouldn't be any issues with having them connected to the same PC, right?

The reinstall went well. My PC is now in GPT format. I guess time will tell if the blue-screens are fixed. I'll update after a week for anyone who wants to know if its fixed. Edit: An hour later, and it has blue screened again. This time the error was: Unexpected Store Exception. I was in the...

Understood. Thanks! I'll post tomorrow once I have finished.

Hello, the time has come for me to reinstall Windows 10 Pro on my computer. (Had many issues updating, default apps aren't working, and more) So I tried reinstalling my windows using the original install CD onto the same drive as it is currently installed. I used the same product key as what my...

I did that and it makes a continual static/hiss sound, so I guess I'll just do without. Thanks.

I just purchased new HyperX Cloud Stinger headphones because my older Turtle Beaches broke. The old headset would play back a little bit of my microphone audio into the speakers (so that you can tell how loud you're being), but the new ones don't. Is it possible to make my new headphone's mic do...

None of the buttons work, so I guess I'm getting a secondary mouse. Thanks
