Hi, so i have 4 questions about powersupplies:
- When you have a modular powersupply, and you loose cables (lets say you lose a 8pin pcie cable), can you use about any good sleeved psu extensions cable ( like these one's ), or do you have to buy the original cable for the psu, and then slap on the sleeved extension one ?
- Can psu's malfunction even at idle, or do they only malfunction at max/ high load?
- When talking about pcie adapters, we all know they are bad. But what if i need another molex plugg for lets say a fan, can i just buy a molex splitter, like this one? Is it "safe" to use them?
- When looking for a powersupply, are the first things you look at wattage and efficiency rating and brand ofc, or is there anything you should be aware off before going into further examination of the unit?
