I understand, thanks.

OK, thanks.

I'm due for a PSU upgrade, since mine is about 8 years old and it is a pretty cheap 500w one. I'm looking for something that could accommodate future upgrades. I've been looking at the tier list and I saw that SILENTIUMPC Supremo FM2 650W PSU is among the cheapest ones that is in the A tier. What I would like to ask though, is whether it has OTP (Over Temperature Protection), since I can't find much info about it. My specs: Ryzen 5 3600 Asus ROG Strix GTX 1070 Ti 2x8GB DDR4 3000MHz 500gb m.2 nvme 2x SATA HDDs 4x case fans OCZ CoreXStream 500w psu

Hello, I'm looking to buy a new PSU to replace my 8 year old one. I'm looking at the SILENTIUMPC Supremo FM2, which is on the A tier. However, I was wondering whether this psu has OTP (Over Temperature Protection)?

Looking at online retailers in my country, only one has a non-modular cx450, but it's sold out and the cx550 non-modular ones are a few euros more expensive than the semi-modular. Do you perhaps have other modestly priced PSUs to recommend? And do you think 450w would be enough for my current build and perhaps for future upgrades to xx60 or xx50 series gpus? I might still keep it for a few months, or as you say, until I can afford a new one, since it has served me so long. By the way, what do you think is the likelihood of the PSU of this age damaging other components? I'm looking at the PSU tier list and trying to find the best price to quality ratio. How are these PSUs? *Cooler Master MWE 550 BRONZE - V2 (50 eur), MWE 600 WHITE - V2 (49eur), COOLER MASTER MWE Bronze 700W V2 (61eur). These are in the B tier and I'm leaning towards one of these. *Be quiet! System Power B9 - 600W (63eur); *Be quiet! Pure Power 11 500W (69eur); *Seasonic S12III 550w (60eur), 650w (64eur); *Corsair CX450M (63 eur), cx550m (77eur, some sites are 72eur.)

I bought my first pc in 2012 or so. Since then, I've replaced almost all of it, only the PSU and HDDs remain. Some of my components: * Ryzen 5 3600 * M.2 Nvme ssd *2xSATA HDDs * 2x8GB DRR4 3000MHz * B450 Asus prime-k mATX * To at least give me video output, I have an ancient gpu running (from 2006) until I get a new one. I'm looking at new gtx 1660 supers. * And the part I'm asking about, the PSU. It's an OCZ CXS500W CoreXStream. That PSU was bought around 2012 and it has served me well. However, I'm worried that it might die any moment and damage other components. Though it says it has "Heavy-duty protection circuitry including over-voltage, over-power, and short circuit" Also, a MTBF of 100,000 hours. Since I'll be getting a new gpu, I don't have a high budget. Should I still keep it for some time? I've been looking at corsair cx450m and cx550m, but the latter is a bit pricey.

With one stick of RAM at a time, they crash even quicker, not even 10 mins. So probably it's not the RAM's fault

Don't want to spend that much, since it's not guaranteed that it's psu's fault, so something inexpensive but reliable, if there are any like that. But it's pretty old, so I guess I should replace it. I don't experience any BSoD, flickers or artifacts when games crash. They crash to desktop or freeze, but Windows is still usable. And event viewer logs both point to memory, yet memory tests pass. I'll try removing one stick of RAM at a time. I'm in Lithuania, so only local retailers. Sites are only in Lithuanian so use google translate if you need, Microsoft Edge Chromium has a built-in page translator. https://www.varle.lt/maitinimo-blokai/?p=1 https://www.1a.lt/c/kompiuteriu-komponentai-tinklo-produktai/korpusas-ir-ausinimas/maitinimo-blokai-psu/2vm http://www.skytech.lt/kompiuteriu-komponentai-maitinimo-blokai-c-86_85_300.html?sand=2&pav=2&sort=5a&grp=0&page=1&pagesize=100 https://www.kilobaitas.lt/Kompiuteriu_komponentai/Korpusu_mait_saltiniai/CatalogStore.aspx?CatID=PL_403 https://www.rde.lt/categories/lt/415/sort/1/filter/0_0_0_0/page/1/Maitinimo-blokai.html I ran OCCT Power test and it was stable, so I dunno if it's PSU's fault.

Monster hunter World and some emulated games. I will try to check if there's a label. It's some obscure brand. See picture.

After playing for up to 2 hours, sometimes only 20 minutes, my games crash to desktop without any error. I first thought it was due to RAM overclock, but after reverting to 2133 mhz, they still crash. Looking at event viewer, the are two types of errors related to the crash. First is 0xc0000005 which is access violaton and second is 0xc0000374 with faulting module ntdll, which is heap corruption. Memtest86 after 3 hours and HCL Memtest at 370% returns no error when both at stock and overclocked. Also, sometimes the game freezes, but doesn't crash, only that the music is playing. Also, it's weird that it only crashes while I'm playing, because I left a game overnight and it didn't crash. Is the RAM faulty? Both of those errors are related to memory, aren't they? Should I use my warranty on them or get new ones? I got them new few months ago. Strange that the memory tests report no errors though. I also have a pretty old PSU. It was bought I think in 2012 or 2013, it's 500w and it's probably a no-name, cheap one. My specs: Ryzen 5 3600 (new, got few months ago) GTX 1070 with 451.67 driver (bought used recently) 16GB CL16 3000MHz G.Skill Aegis (new) Asus Prime b450m-k (new) What I've tried to solve this issue: Removing DOCP, reverting from 3000Mhz to 2133Mhz Manually adjusting RAM timings to the ones written on the RAM stick and the ones in DRAM calculator for Ryzen Increasing DRAM voltage up to 1.45V Increasing SoC voltage to 1.1V Restoring CMOS Disabling Data Execution Prevention Setting ProcODT to 60 ohms Reinstalling Windows Cleaning registry Running sfc scan and dism Running chkdsk Underclocking GPU Disabled antivirus and added exceptions to games Updated my BIOS Updating Windows Disabling audio devices not in use Doing a clean boot Reinstalling audio and gpu drivers

I see. Thanks for your input. I just need a system that could run current games decently before I build a brand new system some years after.

I live in a small country, Lithuania, and in terms of used Ryzen and its mobo, I wasn't able to find anything on the most popular listing site. As for the GPU, I'm buying it used, as mentioned.

I meant that I wouldn't be able to afford the switch to Ryzen at the moment. Or do you mean used AM4 parts? Which of those two options I mentioned in the post do you think I should choose?

Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to afford such an upgrade since my budget is currently 200 Eur and a used i7 3770 costs 100 eur here.

So this is my current build: i3-3240 @ 3.4ghz 2x4gb DDR3 @ 1600MHz B75M-D2V Mobo GTX 660 2GB GPU 500w PSU 1TB HDD With my limited budget, I have two options: 1. Get an i7 3770 and a RX 470/570 4GB 2. Get an i5 3470/3570 and a RX 580 8GB. I'll be using it for 1080p gaming. Also, I'll be purchasing both of these parts used. Which, in your opinion, is a better upgrade?
