I just recently bought two of these units for two PC builds for a dental office. The CPU is Ryzen 7600 and GPU is GT 730 for both of them. I am building some pretty low power parts so not using a power hungry GPU so I didn't think a better unit was necessary. In the Cultists Network PSU TIer List is says this unit is Tier F and should be replaced immediately while other people in reviews are saying it works fine for them. Is this power supply good enough or should return the two I have and upgrade to a better unit? I do not want it to fail and fry all the PC parts in the next few years of normal use like some cheap Chinese PSUs I have previously used.

I am doing this build with a Ryzen 5 7600X, it is not for gaming purpose and will be used in a dental office, and it will not be overclocked. I will pair it with a Nvidia GT 730 for multiple display outputs. I googled and the minimum power supply for 7600X is 650W. But I think 650W is a little too overkill for it. What wattage power supply do I need for it or 650W is good enough?

Budget (including currency): $450 Country: USA East Coast Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Valorant, Overwatch 2, Call Of Duty 1080p 60-75Hz Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Most of the parts are from eBay and are used. I don’t need any new parts because I’m on a budget and I know what I’m doing. I only need this build for 6 months as I’m moving temporarily and would prefer a PC for gaming over a laptop. When I get back home I plan to sell it so I would like to know the resell value.

I have a prebuilt Dell system (XPS 8700) with a 460W power supply and I am planning to add a GTX 1060 (6GB) to it. The power supply has 2x 6-pin PCIE connectors while the GTX 1060 only accepts an 8-pin connector. I am thinking of buying a 2x 6-pin PCIE to 8-pin adaptor off of Amazon to fix this. Is it safe since I have heard some cases of adaptors catching on fire?

I am flipping this older office PC (Dell Inspiron 3847) as a super budget entry level gaming PC and I spent a total of $75 for parts. What do you think is a fair price for this PC? I don’t want to rip anyone off. Specs are in the photos. Parts cost breakdown: $45 AMD Radeon RX 550 $15 Intel 256GB SSD $15 1TB Seagate HDD Тhank you for your answer. It really helps me!

Make sure your drivers are up to date. Also install the drivers from the official Nvidia website because those drivers are better and more optimised for gaming. Windows already auto detects and installs drivers but you should still goes to the Nvidia website to install them. Make sure all the PCIE cables such as 8-pin or 6-pin are plugged in.

Don't get the Samsung 980 Pro at all costs. It has a notorious reputation for the SSD being locked into read-only mode and rendering it unusable. Here are some alternative 2TB SSDs: WD Black SN850X and the Crucial P5 Plus. Other than that, your build is looking good. Good luck with your build!

Here's how to delete your partitions with DiskPart: 1) Boot into your Windows installation media 2) Press Shift and F10 at the same time 3) CMD window opens up, type "diskpart" 4) Type "select disk 0" 5) Type "clean" 6) Proceed with Windows installation -
URGENT: Fresh install takes too much space
Windows 11 For the Win replied to NetWorker's topic in Windows
Delete all partitions on the disk with DiskPart through your bootable USB or installation media. Restart the fresh installation again. If that didn't work, make a lightweight version of Windows 11 (Tiny 11) which you can customise to your liking to get rid of the bloatware and other features. You then can install your customised version of Windows. -
The red CPU debug light suggests that there could be an issue with the CPU. Maybe the CPU could be broken. If that's the case you can RMA the CPU if you bought it new.

I currently have a 1080p 24” 144HZ curved monitor in my setup paired with an RTX 3080 10G in my PC. I want the RTX 3080 to reach its full gaming potential as it is probably bottlenecking with my monitor. The only 1440P/4K curved monitors that I could find online are 27” and above which might (?) work with my dual monitor mount which currently has 2x 24” curved monitors installed but I am hesitant about putting a 27” on my mount. So is there any 24” curved monitors with resolutions 1440P+? Otherwise I probably won’t upgrade my monitor.

I replaced the power supply of my friend’s PC that he built back in 2014 because I was concerned of the quality. It’s from a brand “A power” I never heard of before and it has no 80+ rating. Should I just toss it or what can I do with it? Don’t want to reuse it in another PC though since it could possibly fry parts.
