    ImpaleXD got a reaction from Matias_Chambers in 6700K Stable Overclock   
    I plan on keeping it for a good 4-5 years. In this case, I'll like to settle for 4.6 and try to avoid hitting 1.3v though so I'll continue to try and lower voltage and see what happens.

    ImpaleXD reacted to Sakkura in How good are Silverstone PSUs?   
    Nope, Silverstone is not a PSU manufacturer. Most of their units are made by Enhance, FSP, or Sirtec.
     
    Overall, Silverstone is a decent brand. They have some bad models but also a lot of good ones.

    I always check JonnyGuru for any information about power supplies, but I've never heard anything bad about Silverstone. I've got one friend who uses a PSU from them, and he's never had an issue with it.

    ImpaleXD reacted to STRMfrmXMN in PSU Tier List [OLD]   
    Credit to @Starelementpokeand @Energycore for helping out with this long-awaited refresh of the old PSU tier list by Aniallation (who previously went several months without logging in), leaving the old list in need of help. This is simply an update of the list that was flawed in creation by the PCMR subreddit and in dire need of a refresh.
     
    This list is subject to change as new PSUs come out on a regular basis and standards may change or issues with units on the list may develop. A list of PSUs awaiting a tier on this list is at the bottom.

    Some things on this list may not be perfect. Let me know if you believe a PSU is undeserving of its spot on here and provide links to back up your claim and it may be moved.

    ImpaleXD reacted to xeromynd in Power supply face up or down with this setup?   
    I've always stuck with the school of thought that you want your PSU airflow isolated from the rest of the case.
     
    If you put the fan side down (provided your case has a filtered opening there) your PSU will intake air from below your case and exhaust through the rear, and be completely separate from your case's internal airflow.
     
    Unfortunately, some PSU's don't compensate for this flipped orientation, so in some cases, side text and diagrams on the PSU may be upside down.
