thank you, we've observed pin2+pin3 load in games and total value hovers between 160-200w. i think thats perfectly fine for these 16awg cables!

Hello dear people, I have a question. We've purchased a RM850 model for an ASUS Rog Strix 3080. Given that the GPU can go up to 450w, we thought that a high quality 850w PSU would do us good. Sadly, the PSU only came with two PCI-e cables whereas Corsair's website claims this specific PSU has there PCI-e cables. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Power-Supply-Units/Power-Supply-Units-Advanced/RM-Series™-80-PLUS-Gold-Power-Supplies/p/CP-9020196-NA#tab-overview My question is, how safe it is to use only two PCI-e cables with this 3x8 pin GPU? Should we just return the PSU and find another model? How come a 850W PSU does not include 3 pcie connectors? What is even the point of all those power if it does not contain enough PCI-e connectors? Apparently some people say that "new" revisions can be shipped with 2 cables but this makes no sense, at all.

sadly, we couldn't find any actual benchmarks. "I would say not, I would highly recommend you to use the stock cooler instead of wasting money on that thing." "120mm liquid coolers suck." 80c on r5 3600 seems a lot, friend wants temps near 60-70. we checked stock cooler benchmarks for the 5600x and in heavy games it seems to hover around 80c, which makes me question the h45's validity. h45 is also much much cheaper than the coolers within that tier. after all, there are lots of coolers in tier 4 that are suggested reliably for 5600x. by that logic, h45 should manage the 5600x fine, but I have doubts if its really going perform similar to the, say, arctic espots 34 duo (tier 6), then i will advise my friend to keep his h45. his budget allows tier 5-6 CPUs at the moment and he already has a h45. if h45 is indeed similar or a bit of better compared to those coolers, then he should keep using it, no?

Hello, asking for a friend here, my friend has a H45 cooler with only one fan (120 mm) and wants to build a system with a 5600x seeing it as Tier 4, one would think its a decent cooler for 5600x but our researched showed that even stock fan that comes with 5600x would be better for it what do you think?

Thank you a lot for the extended offset range!

check your vram usage if it's near max utilization, this can potentially happen this shouldn't have happened with rainbow 6 though whats your settings and resolution_

is it possible to set offset beyond %30?

Also wanted to leave my thanks here. The software is amazing!

Ryzen 5600x ASUS ROG Strix B550-F 1 TB NVME SSD 1 TB 7200 RPM HDD Corsair RM750 (new and grey label) We're currently using this build with a R9 380 and my friend await stocks for a RX 6800xt. This table confused my friend and he wanted to learn if he really needs 850W for some specific 6800xt models. Do you think RM750 would be fine with all these models? Or should we stick to the 750w recommendations?

Sadly I couldn't repeat what I happened to me. Since the last incident (friday), not a single issue happened, in general i hope it was a one time issue and won't haunt me in the future, but u never know

No, can u provide additional screenshot for that error? I looked every kind of tab but i couldnt find such an error. Didn't happen still, but kinda irked me. this is what I hate about computers... randomness and crashes

Same happened to me today, also on a Ryzen system. I was on desktop, watching a Zoom lesson Gigabyte B450 Gaming X Ryzen 7 2700x GTX 1080 PSU High Power Performance GD 750W (Tier B psu) GPU is being fed with two seperate PCI-e cables Chipset and Windows is updated to their last versions No overclock on RAM (if clock 1500 mhz, ram is xmp ballistix 3000 mhz, ryzen certified) Been using the PC for 7 months, its the first time this happened. Will update if it happens again (I can't replicate) PC seemingly restarted itself and came book and with no DUMPs. Maybe it's a Ryzen-Windows 10 related issue with recent updates?

https://www.incehesap.com/corsair-rm750-cp-9020195-eu-750w-full-moduler-power-supply-fiyati-46688/ Is this the Tier A Corsair RM? (gray one?) or the old one that is located in Tier B?

Hello, my friend considers buying a single fan Corsair H45. This one in particular; https://www.akakce.com/islemci-sogutucu/en-ucuz-corsair-hydro-series-h45-cw-9060028-ww-sivi-sogutma-fiyati,54097163.html He has a Ryzen 2700x and wants to overclock it to at least 4.2 ghz/1.4v range. Would this cooler do the trick? He's also streaming with x264 encoding. He wants to be below 65 degrees in stream+game scenarios. Is this possible with this cooler? I see H45 as Tier 3 but dunno what tier accomodotates to what kind of cooling powers.

thank you, i checked the specs, slot should really be suitable for that ssd. same class ssds are listed like western digital sn550. i'd go for wd sn550 but its currently %35 more expensive than the a2000 in our local currency so i preferred going for a2000 for now i hope it turns out okay!

https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Document/mb_m.2_support_amd_200512.pdf My mobo is gigabyte b450 gaming x, and i want to buy a Kingston A2000 nvme ssd. Sadly, it doesn't listed in the supported M2 list on the motherboard's support web page. I checked other gigabyte boards such as expensive ones like b450 aorus elite and b450m aorus and they don't have support for this SSD either. I contacted their support and they gave a sketchy answer, saying that they cannot be certain but "it should work". Do you think i should try it? There's a risk of reseller not accepting the ssd back if it doesn't work. That's what I fear sadly

honestly, all giga b450 boards are bad in my perspective. they dont have digital voltage controller, no loadline calibration, so overclock is out of the question. very bad mobos overall. even the premium aorus elite is the same. subpar quality vrms. only get it if it's VERY cheap try to find another decent board please..

Hello, "High Power Performance GD" this model is currently listed under both the Tier B and the Tier C. is this a mistake? was there a new info about theis particular PSU that lowered its tier into Tier C? what's up with that? I also see Chieftec Polaris listed as gold, meaning superior compared to its tier mates, but wasn't high power performance gd also the same with Polaris, meaning GD model would also be golden colored for its tier? @LukeSavenije @Juular

oh.. so it's better from the price/performance aspect? we dubbed the s2h "national mobo of turkey" actually xd it's the cheapest b450 board with a heatsink attached to it so it's very good for tons of budget systems people build in our country. it can respectably carry a 3600 thanks to 3600's low tdp for a second i wondered if its heatsink design is better or superior to others, maybe with a proper airflow it can be? again though, i know they all share the completely same vrm designs

hmm i know realized, is gigabyte b450m s2h really better than aorus elite and aorus pro in the same tier?

well it turned out to be very bad optimization, they fixed it 5 months later (a bit late). now even 4 core/4 thread cpus run the game fine (occasional stutters still happens) i simply had enough of the i5 8400 and swapped it with a 2700x (this cost me 30 dollars, which is crazy). frankly, by pure average fps they are practically same, but the stutters i experienced in some games are simply gone. i'll admit, i'm not the type to backdown on background applications, i like to keep discord, spotify and browser open and ready to be use anytime i want to, additionally some other stuff such as dualshock4 emulator (yeah i like to use my ds4 in windows environment because that's my go to gamepad. sadly even that emulation program uses cpu resources), lightshot (quick screenshot taker), and some more. i can accept that so much program is asking too much from a 6 core processor. but i'll honest, when i first bought this cpu back in 2017, when it was released new, games didn't even properly utilized 6 cores. i was like, "yeah games will use like, 3-4 cores, and 2-3 cores will be free to use for background services). i was wrong though, lots of games brutalized 6 core chips in the past 2 years. of course, using a gtx 1080 at 1080p didn't help with this cpu either. a gpu like gtx 1060 or rx 580 would probably saw lesser cpu usage in general, but gtx 1080 can still push alot of frames and easily fills the i5 8400 with 2700x though, all is well. for 30 dollars, i practically added +2 cores and +10 threads to my system, which is great for me, and i never experience slowdowns because of my background programs performance wise, only game where 2700x outperforms the i5 8400 is ac odyssey (in specific regions, i might add, the benchmark tables you will see on the internet doesn't tell the story). there's particular regions in ac:o (athens and spart in particular), where i5 8400 dropped to 45-50 fps and saw heavy %100 usage. 2700x managed to stay above 60 fps in those regions to my surprise, and it turned out it even beats the coveted ryzen 3600 in that region (i specifically emphasize on the region, otherwise people throw benchmarks at me showing 3600 is better than 2700x in that game). i'm really glad amd made so many viable cpus. -- btw, this still doesn't change the fact, for 5 months, it run like shit on 6/6 chips. for some weird reason, the pc release of this game wasn't anticipated much on technology channels (no idea why). so it stayed under the radar for a long time. if it had the exposure, it would've gotten fixed earlier probably. brutal honesty, this was the last game i played with my i5. the video below is my own and you can see the horrible freezes i experienced. around that time, my friend with a locked i7 7700 also played the game and although he also got occasional stutters, it was never this bad. mind you, below video was taken under completely free of background programs to ensure that it plays stably. did I finish the game like that? well, i just put the 30 fps lock and continued on. found some special nvinspector hacks to reduce the stutters actually. even shared them over forums and some other people also saw success, some didn't. -- and after this incident, i saw how 4/4 chips really struggle with some titles, and they never get fixed. because developers started to "move on". the cheapest r3 and i3 is now 4/8 and even i5s are 6/12. it got me worrying honestly. i wanted to use that chip for lots of years to come and it already started to fail on me. i can count a number of games such as monster hunter world that will run bad ona 4/4 chip whatever you do. same can very well applied to these 6/6 chips. because even the intel moved on, they made their own i5s 6/12. since these 6/6 chips remain small fish in a big pond (4/8 i7s, 4/8 i3s, 6/12 i5s, 6/12 r5s, all that bluster), they might very well be overlooked when developing games. we'll see how that will turn out but i didn't want to risk it so while it had some value, i sold it and had a relief of my own. i would advise even the 9600k owners to do same. sell it, get a 10400f, 10600kf or whatever you want to.

Yup, I'm from turkey and yes, sadly, they're still being sold and some people still continue to consider them. that's why i always ask here, so that i can carry reputable and experienced people's word to them so that they will consider other more reputable brands at least so i thank @Juular, you and all the others for never ending help, you're all doing a great service and you're of big help so thanks a lot to everyone of u

Hello again, i have couple of local noname psu's which the retailer showed the inner pictures of gamemax 1050watt psu frisby 650w psu any idea about the quality of these psus? can you determine the quality by these shots? oh and of course, they're cheap, very cheap i would like to have some insight about what tier they would fall in, are they okay for gpus such with high wattages and such

Hello, i've come with two new additions to the PSU market in Turkey https://www.teknobiyotik.com/donanim/psu-guc-kaynagi-power-supply/high-power-element-br-750w-80-bronze-siyah-atx-guc-kaynagi-hp1-m750br-h12s.html Its supposed to be DC-DC PSU. any idea what would be its equal? second one is a cheaper FSP PSU, https://inventus.com.tr/mi_products/Product.aspx?PID=10915 https://www.fsplifestyle.com/en/product/HVPRO550W.html

hey https://www.akakce.com/anakart/en-ucuz-asrock-b450m-pro4-am4-ddr4-micro-atx-fiyati,435236499.html would you think this board would be okay for a ryzen 3600? what tier would it be in?_
