The PSU is working fine, but you telling me to check the PSU cables got me to check the one cable I hadn't checked which is the power cable, the one from the PSU to the wall, I had another one from an older PSU & apparently that was the fix. So the crackling noises I kept hearing were in fact...

It isn't the PSU, I got it tested & came back fine, no popping noises, as well as plugging it into another PC for 2 days straight with no problems or shutdowns like I was experiencing before the incident. Might the popping noises (they were long ones, not the normal single popping noise you'd...

Update: The PSU came back fine and it isn't experiencing any shutdowns during testing. There are also no visible burn marks on either the PSU or the motherboard. Can someone direct me to where I should check for burn marks more accurately? Also, does this pin the problem (and the popping...

The power adapter/outlet which is plugged into the wall that allows me to connect monitor, PC & charger together, etc, is what I meant. The adapter/wall itself is fine, monitor & charger are working fine. Yes, I haven't plugged it in since, I managed to immediately unplug it as soon as I heard...

I understand it's a lower quality unit, there's barely any decent PC components available where I live and if there are they would be priced horribly compared to their international pricing. I checked it on the PSU tier list before buying it to have been ranked at tier C, albeit being in the...

My EVGA 500 BR PSU is only 5 months old, my PC for the last month or so was randomly shutting down & restarting immediately with the kernel power 41 (63) event in Event Viewer, it was either at idle or during use, searches turned up that the most likely culprit is the PSU, but I decided to do...

I think I will go with the Ryzen build since I value multitasking more than frames in games (I only have a 60hz monitor anyways), the single thread performance of the Ryzen is much lower than the i3 than I expected but I guess that games will focus more on multithread perf. Thanks for...

I've seen very demanding game titles like RDR2 and Borderlands 3 in the GPU department, but I'm expecting my next build to last 3+ years, and I don't want for example to run a next gen game on low or medium settings (It would feel like I've done nothing since I already run current gen games on...

Yeah, ive heard about it and saw hw video on it, but it doesnt ship to where iam sadly, and the version available here is the AE and is still more expensive than the i3 + mobo combined

Hello, i have 2 choices of upgrading, since the i3 and the mobo cost about the same as a r5 1600 in my country, i can then get a reference rx 5700 or go with the r5 1600 and a weaker rx 580, both will be paired with 16gb of ram and a 240gb ssd, im going to mainly do gaming and watching movies...

Alright, should be all good, thanks!

But what's the talk about it having group regulations which doesn't meet the standards? I also read that it doesn't have required C states for sleep to work properly, which again I know nothing of, I just don't want to recommend something that would die on him if he did oveclocking on both his...

I swear last time I checked for psu threads the Seasonic S12II was recommended here and there, but now its average or in some cases not good? I've seen recommendations of Cosair's budget psu over the S12II ones, what I heard was something about group regulations that makes it not good for...

The case is so cheap and comes with an Antec EarthWatts 380W, should I get this case? Is the airflow good? It comes with one rear fan and I can add another front fan, I think the only drawbacks I can see are the lack of USB 3.0 which my Mobo doesn't have anyways and the not-so-long GPU space but...

Yeah its just the fermi ones Although the 600/700 are still supported, they wont receive performance boosts for newer games and optimizations like on 900/1000 and upcoming Pretty happy with my rx 460, their software is a piece of cake and runs much better than my previous gt 1030, i still keep...
