    Naw, for cheap and low end systems, B and C Tier are more than fine.
     
    Don't forget that people use substandard PSU's the world over, in the millions.  We have no reliable failure rates to quantify and a lot of that list is theory about construction, components and design. 
     
    B & C still work fine, they're just not as good.  Think Ford or Chevy 🙂

    New? I'd agree with you that they're alright, but for 15 euro? I'd rather not.
     
    They're often a lower tier because they use components (especially borderline acceptable capacitors) less likely to last and anything decent for 15 euro is likely to be very old.

    And of course when the budget allows it we can recommend something better however here its gonna be a try to fins something that wont blow up.
     
    Used however I steer away from c tiers unless not possible since well they do age less gracefully
     
    Potentially a older seasonic s12II?
     
    also op what will this be powering? That thermaltake is absolutly not something you should use.

    Oh I am not advocating $15 PSUs at all.  Just lower Tier is viable, new or near new of course.
     
    The one in the OP, no,

    It literally says "made in china" 
     
    anyways, even if most of them are Chinese, this one just being this cheap is a no go for any system with good/important components in it. if its just for testing or something, it'll be fine

    It's really old (15+ years) and without the extra cables it's pretty useless. Find something else.
    If you are buying second hand power supplies make sure they come with all the cables included.
     
    Edit: Was released 2009.

    Your chances of getting a PSU for 15 euro that isn't terrible are very slim and while they're pretty much all built in China, they're going to be stuffed full of Chinese capacitors (not that this is the biggest problem with a PSU of that price). Your best chance would be looking at old good (preferably tier A) PSUs, I'd rather have a very old good one, than a newer terrible one.

    Personally, I would find a different one, unless the components it will be powering are not precious to you.

    A scam is a scam, and this is indeed very sneaky. I made this post because no one talked about it in 9 years,  so I must take the matter into my own hands.

    Today my drivers for my Radeon rx560 uninstalled themselves with no input from me, I tried to start up a game and they just crashed and an error stated "drivers put in safe mode" l have since reinstalled them. Though this has happened multiple times off and on, if there is a fix please let me know, thanks

    It looks like a hot swappable SATA bay for 3.5 drives. Something like this:

    Double the VRAM amount and a significantly faster card? I think that getting the R9 380 is a no brainer in your case. (power shouldn't be an issue)

    I think this moved pin is the reason my GPU is seen as PCI-E x1 instead of x16, how do I fix this?

    Good is faster to compress and decompress.
    Best takes more tima and also les space.
     
    Though in modern times (zip or rar) compression has got too much point imo.

    WinRAR doesn't change the files' contents. What you're talking about is an entirely different thing, so yes, using WinRAR is perfectly fine.

    daddrian reacted to YaroslavZvyagin in GPU heat affecting the PCI-E slot??   
    hey, at 93C it may throttle itself down to avoid overheating (to check if it throttles or no you can open up some monitoring tool like msi afterburner which will report core clock on the live graph, not in numbers which you can modify, as well as if it's simply always 93& very occasionally goes to 94 & then back to 93 then it's definitely throttling) , and i would say constant 93C is bad, you reduce your gaming performance by a lot and spawn not wanted stutters from time to time, you have a couple of options to reduce that temperature down (also your pcie slot should be fine)
    1. open up your case, extra airflow will help reduce the heat
    2. add a couple of case fans as exhaust to remove the hot air from the case
    3. replacing thermal paste
    4. add some small fan right next to the gpu's side which have no fan, so that small fan will blow air on it and cool it down
    5. open up your case & use pcie extension cable so that your gpu will be more close to cold air rather than being all the way down in the case where is little airflow
    6. setup fan speed at 100% always but it most likely will not help alone
    7. underclock & undervolt gpu a bit so that it will never reach throttling point and will provide you with better gaming experience, stable one, without any possible stutters

    It's not inaccurate reading ? The GPU is so hot it might catch fire.  The air blown from the cooler is also hot
