Scrulls reacted to Mr.Meerkat in My first PC build
Looks guld , you've built a sleeper PC I'll have you know...no flashy case=thieves would just think it's some shitty old PC.

Scrulls got a reaction from Mr.Meerkat in My first PC build
Hahahaha Talk about protective measures.. this is taking it to the next level. Actually sort of reminds me of a kid that i saw with his dad in the public transport not a few days ago, The dad was carrying a very dusty and old PC case (2005 - 2007 ish looking), and the kid was hoarding an i5 Gen 6 CPU (couldnt see exactly which one) and a Palit GTX 1060. Brought a warmth to my heart really.
Cheers,
J.

Scrulls reacted to Luc401 in GPU - CPU compatibility question.
I do not see any bottlenecks. If you want a compatibility checker use PCPARTPICKER. It is very handy.

Scrulls reacted to TheProfessionalAmateurs in GPU - CPU compatibility question.
It looks great except for the psu. I would go for a 500 watt, since the pc will only draw about 350 watts.

Scrulls reacted to 007agentHP in RX 470, too good to be true?
its all speculation
take it with a grain of salt
but let's do the math
the rx 480 pulls in 74 FPS at ultra
the rx 480 has 2304 stream processors while the rx 470 has 2048
lets assume for a second they are like nvidia and just cut down the 470 from the 480
2048/2304 is 88%. so the rx 470 should pull in 65 FPS
this is by the numbers, and i doubt its accurate, by my guess would have to be no it does not hit 60 FPS at 1080 on BF4

Scrulls reacted to Sunshine1868 in Will too much Wattage be a problem?
A PSU's wattage rating merely states how much it CAN provide, it doesn't mean it is always pushing that out. Your PSU will only push out as much power as your PC is "asking for". That being said, if you computer asks for more power than your PSU can provide, you'll have stability issues.
TL,DR: You can never have too big of a PSU.

Scrulls reacted to arch_linuxos in Will too much Wattage be a problem?
You're good. The wattage doesn't mean it's always providing that much power - it just means that it can provide that much power if it has to.
Efficiency curves would be the only thing that make having a too-large PSU bad - if you're never getting to the point where it's efficient, you're wasting a little electricity. But it's not a big deal.
EDIT: Also, the 1060 doesn't have SLI fingers, so you can't put it in SLI. Just so you aren't disappointed later ;).

Scrulls reacted to Digital in Will too much Wattage be a problem?
The only problem that might be is that an overkillr PSU might be unefficient when using with low wattage needs. (Though I'm not talking about the real overkill PSU's such as 1000+W as they are usually 80+ platinum so they remain efficient)

Scrulls reacted to arch_linuxos in Will too much Wattage be a problem?
It's totally alright, don't apologize! I think what you're probably referring to is the new DX12 feature that forces two GPUs to work together (I forget what it's called). That has to be enabled by the developer though.
I totally understand, the learning process takes a long time! Good luck with your build, I hope it goes well.

Scrulls reacted to Bananasplit_00 in Will too much Wattage be a problem?
but you should look at what load the PSU preforms the best at and get one that preforms its best at the point your hardware is at 85% load if you dont want to spend to much on getting 1000W just because its fine to do so(if you dont hate your bank account) but OP you are fine with that

Scrulls reacted to W-L in Place air fan flow away from or into Rad?
There isn't very much difference between push or pull setups on rads other than being able to easily clean the rad in a pull setup since you have direct access to the fins.

Scrulls reacted to Electronics Wizardy in HDD Device not found in Bootable devices, nor bios, or anywhere. Please help.
Check with a linux usb drive.
If its not there its probably a dead hdd.
Does it spin up? touch it and see if its vibrating.
