Aniallation

I used the RL04 before. It was a pretty nice looking case and easy to build in, all for very cheap (at the time, at least). The sheet metal was thin though, and it's not the best for cable management.

If either PSU were to fail, it will most likely do so within less than 5 years anyways. Warranty isn't really the first thing to compare when it comes to these reputable PSUs. Both are very solid, which you should go for honestly depends on what other components are in your build, and what you could be doing with that money you save.

Why would you sell it after to get a 1070-equivalent Vega card? The 480 isn't super far behind the 1070, so you'll end up paying more for a relatively small upgrade later on.

As much as I like Android, it's still pretty meh on tablets. They haven't really done much to improve the experience of it, partly because there's a much smaller market for Android on tablets compared to smartphones. Apple has a much larger market for iPad tablets so their software is going to be more user friendly in that regard. The app support for iPad is also going to be vastly better, but for just your light usage I don't think it will matter much. If anything, streaming TV apps like Kodi will be easier to install on Android than they might on iPad (some need a jailbroken device).

Cables from reputable brands won't catch fire and are properly tested to be USB-C compliant. This doesn't mean that you have to buy directly from OnePlus or the extremely expensive Belkin ones at the store though. Ones from brands like Anker, Aukey, Tronsmart, and RAVpower (among others) are plenty solid.

This is really the case with many of the more obscure phones these days. If at least half the world's population hasn't heard about it, get ready for pretty bad case and screen protector support. Case makers usually only target popular devices that they know they can sell phones for, such as iPhones and flagship Samsungs - hence why there's practically infinite case choices for those phones, but pretty much none for your Zenfone 3L or my Lenovo K4.

They're both huge though. If you're used to a GS3 it will be a BIG difference. I'd consider trying the S7e and regular S7 at the store first to see which one you're more comfortable with.

Proving you wrong? In a response to a post about your attitude and lack of help and respect for the community, you bring up completely irrelevant information regarding group-regulated power supplies. I did not say a single thing about any sort of comparison between group regulated vs DC-DC, so what are you trying to prove? So far, all you're doing is being a hypocrite, and proving me right.

@Stefan Payne You really have a crap ton of spare time in your life to continuously rant on a forum about every single way that you can prove somebody wrong. This is a community based forum, not an electronics engineering lab or a courtroom. If you really want to be useful, you can help the community by actually answering people's questions and recommend them a good PSU for their needs based on X reason. Doing nothing but nagging and arguing about who's right or wrong over tiny details is getting old, it is unproductive, and it shows that you do not have any appreciation or even any form of respect for the amount time and effort that people like myself, @STRMfrmXMN, @Energycore, @Mr.Meerkat, @djdwosk97 and many others (sorry if I haven't mentioned you, but I'm not scrolling back through all this BS) have put out to do our best in assisting for the greater good of the PC enthusiast society. That includes this thread. You're not making yourself look smart, you're making yourself come off as a douche.

This guy signed up for the forum just to rq!!! you really not nothing better to do lol Really though, stop being so anal about every tiny detail. It's not like we are suggesting stuff that will blow up.

Welp, did MemTest and it came out with zero errors, so looks like it's not a RAM issue.

After I activated Win10 with my key and went back to 7, It's only ever offered me Win10 through that annoying popup that everyone went crazy about, never through Windows Update.

I'll give it a try. It doesn't randomly crash or lock - once it's up and running it works perfectly, just once you shut it down that this problem occurs. I've also tried different RAM in each of the slots and it still didn't seem to remedy the issue That's what I was planning to do if it actually got worse, but ever since it started it (which was months ago) it hasn't gotten any worse. It still works fine, just is irritating every time I have to turn it on.

Not logged in event viewer and happens regardless of OS. Tried fresh installs of 7, 8, and 10 two days ago, still had the same problem.

I'm not really sure how to type this problem into Google so I thought I'd ask here. Every time I turn my PC off and back on again, it won't POST. Lights come on, all fans come on, but nothing on the monitor. Seems like a normal situation, however if I keep turning it off (hold down power button) and turning it back on again, it'll eventually POST and boot up normally. This can take from as little as 2 to as many as 20 tries. I've tried replacing RAM, hard drive, GPU, reseating all connectors, clearing CMOS, flashing a different BIOS version, reinstalling Windows, disconnecting everything except CPU and RAM... but the same thing still happens. Clearly all of the connected components work though, because once the PC does POST and start up it works perfectly fine. I'm starting to think it's an issue with the motherboard. Any ideas?

No, that's how iPhones work, not PCs. If you wipe it and reinstall Windows 7, it'll still use Windows 7.

Just use a Memory Stick Duo to MicroSD adapter. I have three of them for my Sony cameras and PSP.

Seems pretty modern to me

How is the RX 470 too power hungry when you're considering the 1060, which has the same TDP? Tests show that a full system with a 470 only uses 10-20 watts more under load than the same system with a 1060. That's the equivalent of having two phones plugged into your PC to charge while you game.

The 2016 A-Series look a LOT nicer in real life than it does in pictures. One of the best-looking phones I've seen personally and definitely the nicest one on the shelf which is why we bought it. Feels excellent in the hand as well. I haven't seen the 2017 ones in person yet but I wouldn't be surprised if its the same way.

Could you take a picture of the side of the PSU? It only says "250W" on the specsheet, which should be enough, but only if it has at least 200 on the 12V rail. Also, you may encounter a CPU bottleneck.

Ever since the release of the A-series it has been focused on design and build quality. They definitely succeeded in this regard, but the phones are very expensive for the specs, and the specs as a whole aren't that great. The highest-end model in the lineup, the A9 Pro, still only has a Snapdragon 652. And I meant my mom is one who is willing to pay more for design, which is why she uses a Galaxy A3 (2016). I do admit it looks gorgeous, but a Snapdragon 410 phone for $300 in 2017??

Apple makes their own software for their phones. They want people to buy newer versions of their phones sooner, so it is advantageous for them to intentionally make older phones slower with every major update they get - Apple wants you to buy new iPhones more often, so they make your old one practically unusable. Android devices on the other hand fare a lot better the older they get and through each major OS update, because there's no incentive for Google to want to intentionally slow down phones with every update.

Then it's not an issue with the PSU. It's a stability issue that can be caused by any one of a variety of other components, including motherboard, RAM, or your Windows installation.
