MSI's page of the GTX 1660 recommended the minimum wattage of 450, but I currently only have a CX430M on hand. PCPartPicker shows that my estimated wattage is 310W, is it safe if I use the CX430M to power my PC? CPU: Intel Core i7-9700F 3 GHz 8-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Deepcool THETA 20 PWM...

I have an MSI GL63 laptop with an i5 9300h cpu and GTX 1660ti graphics. The battery life has been ok till a few days ago where it gave me around 3-4 hours when watching a movie. Suddenly a few days ago, battery life became terrible ! Less than 2 hours. After some checking, I realised my cpu is...

I have a Razer Blade Stealth 13.3" Early 2019 (MX150 Graphics). Coming along with it is a 65W power brick. It seems that the 65W power brick is not enough for the laptop when gaming. Because the battery drains down to at most 85%. So I looked at Razer's web and I found a 100W power brick for...

My gpu died a week ago and I can't find the exact one for sale at a good used price online, so I'm looking for a similar GPU in terms of power usage, compatibility, etc and price if possible if not, price is the least important. It died at an unfortunate time since I work online and I can't play...

Recently, I decided to get a graphics card upgrade from my old gtx 970 to rtx 2070 super (evga OC) or even rtx 2080 (doesn't seem wise as those are only a bit more powerful but a lot more expensive, soooo). They recommend at least 650W PSU, so my older Aurum 550W won't be enough. I checked the...

People, I need to ask you, what do you think it can be? This is my problem. For some reason my source of power when under load makes a sound that is little heard but heard also it wont boot sometimes not even reaching BIOS, but all the fans and lights will turn on I changed the PSU and...

Hello, I am wanting to get a UPS for my home theater system. I know any UPS wouldn't be able to power a home theater for very long, what I am interested in is the power regulation, power info as well as the surge protection. Power fluctuations are not good for electronics and a UPS with AVR...

Hi, I'm looking to fit more fans to my build, right now I currently have two, one attached to the back and one at the front. My motherboard temps are reaching pretty high for a brand new motherboard so I'm hoping this will calm it down even if just a little. Here's my build Seasonic SSR-650FX...

I wanted to ask any recommendations for a 700 watt power supply, that isnt too expensive (maybe around 50-80 dollars) but wont blow up my computer either. This is since I was planning on getting a new gpu, but it seems that the peak wattage of all the components would be around 571 watts, though...

A few months ago I built a new PC. Since the build date my PSU makes a constant tick sound. While it never becomes very audible it does increase in volume minorly depending on load. It even does it when it is powered off. I contacted Seasonic to see if it was something to be concerned about, in...

When I chose the parts for my current PC I kept upgrading in mind, and I've been doing for the past half year. Currently rocking an i3 8100 with a GTX 1660ti and 16 gigs on RAM. (graphics card was later added to the build and my RAM has been upgraded.) Now for my next upgrade I was planning on...

I'm wanting to put together a build mainly for watching TV shows and Films, and maybe play some games from a few years ago. I decided on a GT-1030 and an i3-8100. I've looked at a few different peoples calculations for what wattage PSU I should get, as well as just googling for this build, but...

Not sure how to delete this or mark as solved but I figured it out with more research and it looks like I am fine to use the stronger adapter. So I have this HP pavilion 32q monitor from a room mate but after weeks of searching we cant find the power cord anywhere. It is 27 inch, 1440p and...

There is a really good deal right now on a used r9 290x Tri-X (it's around 40-50 $). However the seller advertises it as faulty. He tried it with a 400W psu. The PC started up as it should, but no signal. I've read, that the recommended psu for this card is 750 W, but it needs at least like a...

Hi, I have a Corsair TX650M in my build that I bought recently because my last PSU failed. I saw it had really good ratings and the 650 watts is plenty for my current specs. However, I am thinking of upgrading my RX480 to either a Vega 56 or 64. I'm just wondering if it is wise to attempt to run...

So, I'm about to buy a backup battery for my PC, I live in Florida so that means lots of very brief power surges, and I'm scared that my pc will get fried one day. So I have one already, but it's not enough for it to sustain gaming without beeping incessantly. I'm looking to get a 600w APC...

SCENARIO: I buddy got a new GPU that requires 2 PCI-E 8/6 pin connectors but he lost the modular cables, I have a higher wattage PSU of the same brand/80+Rating/Same model I believe. His PSU is an EVGA 750 Watt 80+ Gold where mine is a EVGA 850 Watt 80+ Gold. Wondering if I gave him one of my...
