Sorry. I think that was my fault for misreading the title. Also, great to know your opinion about Oklahoma Wolf's later reviews. I had noticed the discrepancy between those and some others when I was doing my research, and assumed that his results more or less reflected your opinion, as well...

Whoops, I failed reading comprehension on the title. I saw What do u think about xigmatek psu's are theygood? Somehow the x power part completely escaped me. And I was in no way disagreeing regarding the quality. If it wasn't clear, I was implying that was quite possibly what ruined his graphics...

Those Noctuas are very good fans, and the Artcic P14s are also quite nice at a lower price. I don't know much about their Bionic line. The be Quiet! Silent Wings 3 line are much better than the Pure Wings--on par with the Noctuas. After installing whichever fans you purchase, try doing some...

A friend had one--an Xcalibre 600 or something like that. He bought it to pair with his $300+ R9-280 a few years back. I'm not sure what he paid for it but my guess would be around $30-$40. He says it works fine. He stopped using the computer at least two years ago after the GPU developed an...

Thank you for the advice. I know that the demands on your time and knowledge are quite large, and I have learned quite a bit from your writings and your site, so thanks for that, as well. I live in Cambodia, where labor costs are very low (a key fact that I failed to mention--sorry), so I'll...

That was exactly what I feared. What would you suggest? Give it a try, get the capacitors replaced, or junk it? And do I even want to be using a PSU that does not support the C6/C7 low power states? I have so far been unable to find the cables. If they don't turn up, that will be an additional...

I found a never-used Seasonic SS-460FL sitting inside its velvet bag at the bottom of a box of miscellaneous stuff. I had forgotten all about it. It still had the "Please REMOVE this label before use" paper wrapped around it, with the small but thick manual also inside the bag. It could use a...
