  1. No there isn't. And usually the PCIe lanes that an NVMe drive takes up won't conflict with the GPU because the PCIe lanes dedicated to NVMe are completely separate and do not interfere with the GPU PCIe lanes. Phison E12 is a controller.
  2. SX6000 Pro for consumers is indeed better than the MX500. As is the 660p. He accidentally switched tiers 4 and 5. The sx6000 pro/ex900/mushkin helix-L etc. are better than the 660p/P1. Another one that's not really that relevant to this discussion but i'll add now anyway are that the Phison E12 based drives (sabrent rocket, inland premium, corsair mp510, mushkin pilot, silicon power A80 etc.) should be in tier 2.
  3. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/be-quiet-system-power-u9-500w-psu,6035.html Aris lying again?/
  4. Living under a rock? Never heard of Zen 2? $66 not counting MIR which takes months to come, and when considering that the better quality CX550 is $60, I have a hard time recommending the GD...
  5. Good enough that there will usually be no noticeable performance in gaming between a stock-overclocked 3600 and a large tower cooler-overclocked 3600.
  6. Ok, so? You expected it to be PCIe x1? It does worse than the MX500, a SATA ssd, on QD1 4K random rw.
  7. Way better than the A1000 garbage, its a solid tier 4 on Aegis's nvme tier list. 660p would be tier 5 for reference, A1000 tier 6
  8. Gigabyte SSD is garbo. Phison E8T controller, yuck
  9. On a 5700XT, that would probably cause whining because the transformer is overloaded... I'm fine with 2 or 3 cables having to be ziptied and tucked under the PSU shroud but if OP decides otherwise, then the only good modular/semi modular PSU i can recommend is the MWE Gold 550w..
  10. i'd get this then https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/88bwrH/hp-ex920-1tb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-2yy47aaabc
  11. Not Herman Mcpootis but I would not recommend an nvme ssd given the prices in Canada. Get either the 480gb or 1TB Team L5 Lite 3D.
  12. According to Microcenter's product page for the Powerspec 650W, it can supply 585W on the 12V rail. Which probably makes the PSU a crap group reg.
  13. Actually double forward primary topology tends to be the least efficient among itself, ACRF and Half/Full Bridge LLC. I can't comment on the reliability part because I don't have failure rates on PSUs, maybe Jonnyguru or some other insider in the industry does.
