Hello everyone. I have tried and used add2psu to use 2 PSU. 1 PSU for 8-pin CPU, 24-pin ATX and hard drive. Secondary PSU just for graphics card. I just wonder if anyone has tried to connect each 8-pin CPU power to a different PSU using add2psu or similar method. I have heard someone said...

Processor: Interl Core i5 11600K Mother Board: Asus Prime B560m-a I've gone for the cheapest motherboard I could find that was compatible with the processor and had a M.2 NVME socket, didn't even knew about overclocking, so ended up picking a mobo that doesn't support it. My PSU only has a 4...

I recently acquired an RTX 3080. However, it arrived with a damaged PCIe power connector - one of the pins inside the connector was damaged. Specifically, the top-right pin on one of the connectors. While I successfully inserted the 8-pin, this ended up embedding the connector deeper inside the...

No, the title isn't clickbait. I only noticed it when, previously noticing the "bios mode" gimmick switch on there, decided to open up my case and switch it and see what happens. When I opened my case I discovered that one of the power connectors on my Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 (8-pin and 6-pin)...

So I want to order a Radeon VII but I noticed it has two 8-pin power connectors. I've had a 290x for years, and the power consumption seems to be exactly the same as Radeon VII at 295 watts, but the 290x has an 8-pin and a 6-pin, which is all my power supply has. The 6-pin connectors can...

This thing has been bothering me for a year and everytime i ask i get the same stupid answer which makes it more complicated. The time it takes to change pixel color (response time) and the number of frames can be displayed in a second (refresh rate) is like saying the time it takes for a car...

Already pre-ordered the 9900k and definitely going with Asus Maximus board but can't decide which one. What's the differences between Extreme, Formula, Code, and Hero? Can't find a clear distinction between these in any one source.

Hello Was browsing Amazon and found this http:// I never saw a GT730 with 2gb gddr5 and 128bit, it is usually either gddr3 (2gb/4gb) or gddr5 64bit; so my question is, could this be something to consider if I 'm looking for a cheap entry level card to run older games (at 1080p) and watch...

Hello, I am trying to change my PSU from a DPS-475cb-1 to a DPS-1050cb. The problem (at least I think that is the problem), I am having is that the 24pin on the DPS-1050 only has 20 actual pins/wires (it does seem as if this is how it is supposed to be and not a defect with my PSU). I can...

So recently I've ran into a problem where my internet will seem to stop working in applications like steam, teamspeak, filezilla, LoL. It works perfectly fine in browsers. It doesn't disconnect me from that program, but instead I cant really do anything. For example I can que up for a game of...

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/myqd3C I was told i would need a 600W power supply because of my graphics card,is this true or would a 500W work just as well. Thanks

So if I just need to pre-install graphics card + motherboard drivers (according to newegg) , why does my BenQ monitor come with a CD if it has no drivers? I believe my Corsair H100i did as well. Is there something I'm unaware of?

I've got the laptop in the link below. It looks like it currently has a SATA II HDD but I would like to know is if it can support SATA III. The Chipset appears to be AMD Radeon™ HD6490M. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/NP700Z3A-S03US

Im not really looking to spend over $700, that doesn't include a processor though as I already have an i7 4770k. I mainly play MMO's (WoW, GW2, maybe WIldstar). I'd like the build to include WIndows but I could also just get that separate. I already have a monitor(as well as keyboard and...

I’m a college student studying computer science, and I recently came upon a retired custom-built server from my current internship. It was given to me for free, so I set it up at my parents’ place with the intention of creating a “playground” virtualization environment with Windows Server for...

First of all is the above statement possible? Secondly how does one go about doing this? Also would it damage the laptop or render it useless, furthermore would it perform badly on the new PC?
