ShaheerWasTaken reacted to Tigerleon in is roblox fps unlocker a virus???
Not a virus. Although picks up as one because it is an injector.

ShaheerWasTaken reacted to Nayr438 in is roblox fps unlocker a virus???
No it's safe. It might get flagged as a injector by a Anti-Virus as that's technically what it is.
Going through the source on github, I don't see anything malicious.

You can just add more drives to your desktop, if only you need the space on your desktop
How much space do you need?

ShaheerWasTaken got a reaction from Hijitus in Is possible to put a HDD from an old pc to another?
Yes if it's compatible. Also wait for sales like black friday or cyber monday. you can get good deals.

ShaheerWasTaken reacted to Spotty in 260 watt power supply.
Ah, thanks! I was wondering why it was 5.08V. I knew it was well within spec but it just seemed like such an oddly specific voltage, but that makes sense.

Thank you for taking so much time to right that out. You are extremely kind and helpfull.

They intentionally configure the voltage a bit higher, to account for losses due to using thinner wires on the power supply.
It's not a problem, the atx standard says acceptable voltage is 5v +/-5%, so anything between 4.75v and 5.25v will be acceptable without any issues by all components in your computer.
To the original poster, the power supply can provide up to 216 watts on 12v, which is the voltage used by the more power hungry components like processor and video card.
Besides these two, fans consume around 1-2 watts each, mechanical drives consume around 5 watts each from 12v. SSD drives typically consume only 5v
So currently your computer consumes about this much
i5-2400 - maybe 50w average, let's say reserve 65w
motherboard - maybe 5-10w on 12v, the rest on 3.3v and 5v to power chipset, audio chip, network card
8gb ram - probably powered from 5v of your power supply, but less than 5w either way.
gtx 1050 2gb - under 75w, probably are 60 watts
500 gb drive - 5w on 12
ssd - 2-4 watts from 5v, nothing from 12v
another drive - another 5w
let's add 5 watts for cpu fan and some case fan
So you're looking at 65w cpu + 10w mb + 75w gpu + 10w hdd + 5w (fans) = 165 watts on 12v .... you have 216w on 12v , so there's still around 50 watts you can use.
If you remove the video card, without video card your system will consume around 100 watts, so you're left with up to 116w ... but you should not go over 100 watts, leave some room ...
So you have some choices at less than 100w or near 100w
GTX 1660 Super = 8W/110W
GTX 1650 = 8W/80W
GTX 1650 Super = 8W/95W
GTX1050Ti = 6W/75W
GTX1050 = 6W/75W

No. Power supplies don't have anything to do with the FPS you get in games.
The 1650 and 1050 have similar power consumption. If the 1050 is working then the 1650 shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure you don't get a card that requires an additional 6/8pin PCIe power connector.
A lot of prebuilt PCs come with 250-350W PSUs. They're perfect for the system as it's sold and they're not really meant to be upgraded. It's also common for them to use SFF PCs and slim PCs requiring smaller PSUs where it's harder/more costly to get higher wattage units. Besides, no point putting 500W+ PSUs in them because who sticks an RTX2080Ti in a Dell Optiplex office PC anyway?

ShaheerWasTaken reacted to IC4 in 260 watt power supply.
And sorry I didn’t answer all of your question, no you can’t lose fps with a power supply. But it can blow up if it doesn’t have proper safety’s on it. A 260 I’m assuming nowadays is super old because none of the major manufactures I know sell those things on there main line ups. So yes it would be smart to replace it.

ShaheerWasTaken reacted to Void Master in i5-2400 and gtx 1650 bottleneck?
It's enough for Esports titles, but i am not really sure if the CPU is powerful enough for 144 constant FPS .
If you are getting a 1650, be sure to get the GDDR6 version.
It should be enough.
