  1. It's 10 years old and I have had some issues when using it with the new build (a couple crash, monitor disconnected and reconnecting sometimes, and buzzing sound when moving my mouse) Under normal use it's around 82-84 watt with chrome and some programs running in background. What is the normal draw for running benchmark? This new system was only meant to be temporary for 2-3 year, since the new consoles are coming out soon and the Ryzen 3000 having trouble of hitting the speed at the time I decided to build the 3600 to tide over these few years. So no "might" here. And I just don't understand what's the point in buying a PSU as close as possible to your whole system draw, I'd rather just have more headroom. And did you take into consideration for the 5-9 hdd with your recommendation there?
  2. So I upgraded to a new build a couple weeks ago after having run for 10 years on a i7 920 and 5850. The only old part that I reused was the Antec New Truepower 750W however I'm getting really bad whine coil from the GPU with it. That and my monitor sometimes gets no signal after waking from sleep mode and have had a couple crash. And also some buzzing when moving the mouse around. I decided to switch to a backup Konig 450W when everything was suddenly lagging a bit and the GPU keeps hitting 40% even though nothing was running (Already scanned with antivirus and the problem went away after the switch, no idea if it's PSU related but I didn't want to take any risk of a failing psu with my new build). The GPU whine coil got a bit better it's but still loud when playing in full screen, running in lower resolution and enabling g-sync helped so that it's less annoying. Anyway if you have managed to tread through my rambling, I need help choosing a new 750-850W PSU. The Konig PSU feels like a ticking bomb waiting to explode any moment, I have used a watt reader on it and when running Unigine Superposition at 1080p medium the system draw was around 380W so a bit close for my comfort. Here's my current system, I know a 850W would be overkill but I'd like to have some room for growth in case I upgrade to a 3900X or 3950X in a few years to belatedly join the medium internet dick swinging contest. Ryzen 3600 B450 Tomahawk Max Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 3200 MHz 32GB GTX 1080 Crucial MX500 1TB 5~9 HDD Fractal Define R6 Acer XB271HU I live in Finland, to check for PSU price here: https://hinta.fi/g14/virtalahteet Edit: Forgot to add I'd like to keep it around 150~ euro.
  3. Have you guys checked out the Fractal Design 860W Ion+ Platinum? It seems to have gotten good reviews, so I was wondering at which tier it would be at. I'm planning to buy it or the 850W RMX so would be good to know which one is better.
