power supply

Hi all, I just built a new system for myself but didn't have remaining budget for a new power supply. Soon I will have but was wondering the general benefits of this would be and if I would notice a difference in computer performance/reliability before I swap out my current PSU. I was...

So my PC only boots sometimes (that's an understatement) but when it does it runs perfectly fine. Most of the time it has no video output and no usb function and hangs, with no indication it's running apart from fans and LEDS, it turns off instantly from this state upon pressing power button. I...

Hello! My power supply is a Thermaltake Litepower 650W. I recently ordered a RX 6650 XT, but I am not planning to install it with this PSU as I'm afraid it could be too weak, despite being a "650W" (which I think is more like 550W). Should I wait until I buy a new power supply? Or I could limit...

I've read some that says cheaper UPS will have trouble with APFC PSU, then some again that says modern UPS/PSU should have no trouble with the type of sine wave. I've also read from some that the only ones that care for pure sine waves are motors. There's also some that says there are just some...

I just recently bought parts for a PC and now after four months I've got problem. When I started the PC it stayed on for 15 to 20 minutes and after that the display turned off. The PSU fan is speeding fast but all other fans are normal, and lights are on. Any 💡?

They released a fan model called Hong Hua HA1225H12F-Z, which has a lot of bad reviews. People are looking for a replacement for it in expensive power supplies. Even found in Deepcool PQ850M. Can one of you write a letter to Hong Hua? Are there many of us like that?

How can I solve the fan noise problem with the DeepCool PQ650M PSU (R-PQ650M-FA0B-EU) ? Who else has come across it? Judging by the reviews, this problem occurs with many people. Other manufacturers also have a similar problem. But the squeak of the throttles is also added to it. Which PSU...
