power supply

I have an older Corsair ax1200i I had from an older build and I’m wondering if it’s a dumb idea to use it for a new pc I’m going to build. The pc itself is gonna have a 9950x3d and for the time being a 3060ti but I’m intending on upgrading to a 5000 series card in the next half year depending on...

So I have been dealing with this weird issue where my power button does absolutely nothing and the only way I can now power on my PC is by setting my PC to power on every time the power supply returns (flipping the PSU switch every time I want to boot up). I believe I have ruled out the PSU...

Hi I currently have an HP Prodesk 400 G4 Microtower PC and it apparently only came with the 180w version of the PSU. I have a GTX 1060 6GB GPU and an i5-7500 CPU which barely hang on in some games but in others it works and i'm just tired of the constant shutting off when I load into some games...

Hey, so i just a bought a new $2.5k pc with components only from Corsair, AMD and Asus as i wanted this pc to be of high quality. But ive just learned that the psu that i bought was Corsair Rm750e (2025) and that it comes with taiwanese capacitors instead of the (better?) japanese capacitors...

I am from India and I have a Deepcool DQ850M-V3L PSU 80+ gold and I am thinking of using a surge protector on it. I have been using surge protectors for many years now on several electrical appliances and on one time some of them gave up their life to protect the appliances...

I'm looking for a power supply for a new mid-tier gaming build but I don't know of many factors to choose between different PSUs. I've only considered the wattage of my build, to make sure the PSU is at least gold rated, and that the manufacturer is reputable. Any other factors I should...

Hi everyone! So, I'm having some issues with my machine and I have a feeling it has to do with the PSU. So, after some time playing Cyberpunk 2077 (around 1,5/2 hours)the pc just shuts off and reboots immediately. What I think that it is, is exactly what is written above in the tittle...But I'm...

Desktop PC sometimes will not turn on immediately after pressing the power button., it usually takes a few seconds or even minutes to turn on ? I built this desktop PC around a year ago, and this problem only started like a week since this post. Sometimes when I press the power button on the...

I replaced my mobo & cpu with ones from a friend that worked perfectly and now the PC shows no lights and won’t turn on at all. I don’t have it fully put back together (GPU isn’t in & USB 3.0 header isn’t) but everything else is there. Gigabyte B560M DS3H i5-11600K Gskill 16gb ram (one stick)...

I bought a Red Dragon 850-watt RGB PSU. I plugged all the cords into my computer, double checked everything was properly connected. The motherboard lit up and my GPU would flicker. The PSU RGB did not light up at al,l or the fan. I thought maybe a bad PSU so I unplugged everything and did a...

Hello everyone, I'm building a 3 pc fan exhaust system for my bedroom window when I'm soldering to get rid of the solder smoke. I'm using 3 coolsonic hc-010 argb 4 pin pwm pc fans and I'm trying to run them on my pc power supply only because I don't have a gaming computer. I bought a molex 4...

Short description: Battery didn't work and stayed at zero, ordered new one, inserted it, replaced it with the old battery and now the old one is charging. Here is a rundown of what has happened. This laptop has a HDD which I am certain is the reason for it running really slow in Windows 10...

Hi, I'm putting an AM4 build together with: Ryzen 5 5600x B550 Board MSI RX 6650 XT GAMING X 8G 32GB Ram I was planning to buy the MSI Mag 650bn but after a quick search its Tier C with varying reviews I'm not sure if the build would definitely require a 650w PSU but for upgradability I...

Good evening, Just wondering what this sound is from my PSU, doesnt sound the coil whine from other videos ive seen of it.

I found this PSU in the PSU tier list in the A tier. Is that list fully reliable? I can't find many reviews of this unit online, so can anyone confirm its quality. The PSU is Chieftec Chieftronic PowerPlay GPU-650FC 650W. I am buying it here...

So a little backstory, I posted a thread here a few days ago about my PC not turning on, and after replugging front panel cables (or some other cables), it started to work perfectly fine. Someone on that thread suggested replugging cables, so I thought I found the fix. After that, I was able to...

To give the full story I’ve built this PC around December 2023 and it’s been lying around until now. The PC worked fine at that time and it would power on without trouble. However, fast forward a year later, it won’t power on despite the some of the RGB lighting up when switching the PS on. The...

I currently only have one 8pin to 2*6+2pin (daisy chain) cable running to the "4+4 CPU" slot for my 6700XT GPU, which takes one 8pin and one 6pin to power. I am aware that I mustn't use the daisy chain cable to power both slots, and I am not too knowledgeable in power supplies and cables. My...

Currently, my system is equipped with a Corsair CV450 PSU (450W, Bronze rated), a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, and a GTX 1650 GPU. I’m planning to upgrade my GPU to the new Intel Arc B580, but I’m debating whether to upgrade the GPU now or prioritize getting a new PSU first. Would it be safe to go ahead...

Hello! This is my first time posting here. So I have a very strange issue with my PSU. I bought it about 2 years ago due to a cheapo PSU that came with the case failing (thankfully didn't take anything else out with it). I have a Cooler Master MWE 650 Bronze V2 230V PSU. Ever since I got it...

I was troubleshooting some problems with my Wisa SoundSend and accidently bent a pin in the port for the power supply. I don't have any tweezers small enough to fit inside and straighten it and have been trying to figure out how to open this thing up but there is literally nothing online about...

My friend recently grabbed a brand new Ryzen 9 5950x to replace his 3600, and he wanted to get cracking at overclocking it ASAP. So we used Ryzen Master, the program that overclocked his original 3600, and it ended being a spectacular failure. Not sure if his specific processor just came short...

Hi all, I have chosen the option of a Corsair power supply to add to my current build which I've listed below. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KXK2KX I was going to choose the CorsairRM850 in white, as there is no RM850x currently around, but have seen a deal for a more powerful power supply...

Ok this can be a bit obscure and long but please help if you can. So I was running my 24" AOC monitor through VGA + a TV through HDMI from the same motherboard. Not sure if it's related or not, but the monitor started to take minutes to start, with the blue light blinking for ages until it would...

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 have a Gigabyte AMD RX 560, it's been working fine for the past years, but lately when gaming I've been having black screens/crashes, sometimes when it happens my GPU fan stops spinning, other components like other fans and everything are still working fine, eventually I have to manually...

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 💡?
