Hi, just after a good power supply for a build. what is a good power supply around $100-$130 AUD for a Ryzen 5 3/5600x /Ryzen 7 3700x & a RTX 3070/ RTX2080 Super / RTX 2080ti i was looking at the EVGA GD 700W and the Cooler Master MWE V2 750W, both 80+ Gold

I'm in the market for a higher end GPU. I just installed a new EVGA Supernova G5 650w Gold Power Supply anticipating on combining my R5 2600 (I never overclock my stuff) CPU with the new RTX 3070, but there may be a chance I may pay a little extra and get the RX 6800XT (300w). Would a 300w GPU be too much for my new PSU? I don't want to push it too hard, but my current CPU is lower end (less watts). I plan on keeping my Current CPU for the next 2 years as I just installed it this summer. I will never overclock any of my stuff. I hope to play 1440p 144hz in the future on medium or high settings. The only stuff I hook up to my PC USB ports is a Gaming Keyboard and Mouse, Controller, and Headphones Simultaneously. My rig: Ryzen 5 2600 16gb Dual Channel (2900mhz I think) 1 TB HDD, 240 GB SSD and will add 1TB NVME SSD in the future AsRock b450m steel legend motherboard RX 480 8GB (hope to upgrade to RTX 3070 or preferably the 6800xt) EVGA Supernova G5 650w Gold PSU all in a NZXT H510 case with 2 front fans and 2 exhaust

So I just got the 1070 FTW2 I ordered from Amazon... Which I tbh didn't have a great feeling about from the get go because it was *really* cheap (300 Euros) which of you look you will not find another similar priced 1070 *new* in Germany. So anyway I already found out there were some issues with these cards and missing vrm cooling pads, so I went to the EVGA site and Also there's this on the package, it does show the same SN, however it's been tinkered with, ie someone just crossed some numbers out, but *not* the actual serial number... So any idea what's going on, did Amazon scam me or what? This is directly sold from Amazon Germany btw. I wouldn't be as concerned if the EVGA site would find the serial number, which it doesn't, so it looks at least super suspicious??

Would the Evga Supernova g2 750w be a good psu to pair with an Evga 3080 ultra black?

So tomorrow I'm getting a EVGA 1070 FTW2 from Amazon. And I knew right away the price is very suspicious, because it's like 200 Euros cheaper than comparable cards... So tldr, the card is pretty good apparently, except freaking EVGA didn't think it would be necessary to have cooling pads on the VRMs... Now I have to wait until I get the card and check on the EVGA site if it has cooling pads OR NOT... So my question is twofold : can I see this from the outside if there are cooling pads installed (just to be sure)? Probably not, right? And the second question is how do I even get those pads if I need them? I kinda doubt EVGA has them just laying around...? Best case scenario would be they'd offer to install them of course because EVGA has VERY good customer service, right? Lol Oof. But seriously, I'm just trying to find out what are my options here?

On EVGA I was looking to buy a b-stock psu, they have a 600w W1 for $35 and a 600w W3 for $50. What is the difference? Should I pay the extra for it?

Hello, I just finished building a new pc and I have an EVGA X299 FTWK mobo. I can't find the software to control the rgb on the board. Does anyone know how to control it? I would like to make it match the rest of my build. Thanks

So I saw this listing on newegg recently and thought it was pretty insane. I know Maxsun is an asian based company I believe based in china but I have no idea how good or reputable their GPU's are. I recently bought an evga 3070 ftw3 ultra for about $600 but was thinking about returning it if this deal is real. Anyone thoughts on this?

Hi everyone, after a long time of running a gt710 I finally have the opportunity to upgrade to a GTX760. However, I have noticed that my PSU has only 2 extra molex connectors, and the GPU has one 6-pin and one 8-pin connectors. Would it be possible to run just the 6-pin, and leave the 8-pin unpopulated? Alternatively, could I run a 6-pin and an 8pin adapter off just 2 molex? I should note that I don't have the GPU yet, I've got an opportunity to buy it though.

I realized that the capture card dosent have a display port and I wont be able to connect the capture card to my main monitor. I was wondering if I can connect it to my second monitor so because that has a regular Hdmi cable but will it still capture my main monitor or do I need to buy a hdmi cable.

Hi, I have problem with my EVGA RTX 2080 Ti Black Edition (With EKWB full block + backplate). Black screen appears when gaming for few minutes. Seems to be related to temperature. Hotspot temp raises to 107 c and memory temp 102 c while overall GPU temp is ~ 85 degree. I have also i5-11600k cpu with EKWB Nickel block. Is 2 * 240mm radiators little too less for this setup? Or is the GPU faulty? I've replaced thermal pads and paste without any luck.

I bought the EVGA Z20 when it came out originally. Since buying it, I've had nothing but issues even after doing an RMA. The keyboard works great for a few months, then the keyboard will freeze while typing and shut itself off. The only way to get it to work again is to reach behind my computer to unplug the USB cables and plug them back in. I've used different USB ports to see if it was an issue with the ports, but it still does the same thing. After doing my last RMA I received what I "think" is a refurbished version, except this one has squeaky keys and keys that get stuck when pressing them. It is also having the same issues as the original one. TLDR: This keyboard has sadly been junk. Does anyone have good recommendations for mechanical keyboards used for gaming and typing? I'm going through videos from LTT but there's a lot to go through. There aren't any reviews that take place after months of use either, so I'm looking for first hand recommendations from keyboards that have weathered use and still perform great.

Hi, I was lucky to get an Evga card during the gpu shortage and bought the 3060 ti from them for $530. My friend is selling a pc he bought and it has an RTX 3070 ti Founders card. He is willing to trade for my gpu and a case. Would it be worth it for the upgrade? I know Evga is out of the pc space now so it may make my card worth more, I also heard that the cooling on the 3070 ti FE was bad. I need help with this today. Pleaseee thanks current pc: ryzen 7 5800x - evga3060ti - 16gb ddr4 ram - 750psu

A recent PCMag news has revealed that EVGA is planning to exit from the GPU market. They hold Nvidia responsible for this decision as it found Nvidia's gesture disrespectful to its stakeholders. They reportedly claimed that Nvidia refuses to reveal the basic pre-launch information essential for making the GPU. This even include the cost of GPU production as well. However, EVGA said that they'd produce the previous gen GPUs and would be providing after sales service to their existing customer but won't be producing any new gen cards like 4090. Summary EVGA won't be producing any new gen cards but will provide after sales service to their existing customers. They'll as well produce the previous gen cards and continue their remaining product lineups except the GPU. Quotes My thoughts EVGA, in my opinion, is one of the finest GPU producers out there. It's really sad for us, the consumers that we're not going to get their premium GPUs in the future. But I really wish both the companies (EVGA & Nvidia) sorted this out as it would be heavy on EVGA as well. This is because EVGA themselves revealed that their GPU lineup was generating almost 78% of their total revenue.

I have a budget pc and wanted to buy budget psu.is the evga br 600w good?i wanted to buy the bq 500w but its like the double price of the br in my country and also the corsair cx500 its for like 100 dollars here in egypt and seasonic is barely available here so what do you think? My build: I3 10105f Gtx 1660 super 8gb ram 120gb ssd 1 tb hdd

UPDATE (9/22): GPU arrived back from manufacturer (Gigabyte) after receiving repairs and is no longer producing issues during some initial stress testing. They did not specify where the problem is but it did appear to be board level as it looks like it was opened. If this occurs again, I will update further. I've been dealing with this issue for like a week now and have exhausted all of the obvious troubleshooting steps and suggestions I've seen, though this is my first build so I'm probably missing something. I'm very frustrated by this situation and could really use help in determining my next steps. The issue is fairly easily reproducible: upon running any application with a significant GPU load (been using Unigine Superposition at 1080p Extreme, which should not be straining the card beyond its limits, but also occurred on the title screen of Stray and booting into FFXIV), the screen will begin to have parts of the output flicker a green color while still running for an indeterminate amount of time, before hanging on a pure green screen (not the Windows Insider GSOD, just like pure green). The system will then reboot itself. This has not occurred on the desktop for me at all and will sometimes even occur on the loading screen. In the Event Viewer, I see a WHEA message about a "Cache Hierarchy" error on what's usually a different CPU core each time. Things I've tried so far without success: -Did memcheck -CPU benchmarks do not cause this issue, only times when the GPU is under load. Cache hierarchy error seems to be a CPU fault but this doesn't really make sense with the symptoms. -Tried dumping logs or minilogs but nothing appeared- this doesn't generate anything seemingly -Disabled any undervolts, overvolts, XMP, etc. -Wiggled power cables to make sure they weren't slightly loose (some were but no change) -Swapped from rabbit ear GPU cable to two separate VGA cables (this made it worse seemingly but it's been inconsistent?) -Updated BIOS Steps I can't take currently: -This is my first desktop so I can't try swapping the GPU or CPU around to see if it's the issue which would make this much easier to debug. I don't think anyone locally can spare a GPU that would draw a similar amount of wattage either. -Can't swap PCI-e slots due to motherboard design blocking 16x cards from fitting in 8x slot. This unfortunately began like two weeks after the return period, so I'm going to have to use the manufacturer warranty on anything I wanted to replace (I would have already returned the GPU otherwise). The three most likely potential culprits from what I can tell are GPU, PSU, or motherboard. The GPU seems most likely as this error only occurs when I run GPU related tasks and there seem to be other people who have had this issue, but the WHEA issue does potentially suggest that there could be a power delivery issue that's being triggered by the GPU drawing more power than the board can provide (or it could just be shorting and doing the same thing). While I wouldn't admit this on the warranty, I did drop a standoff screw on the motherboard once or twice (my old iFixIt kit was on its last legs and I recently replaced it) and had noticed instances where I found small black debris after handling it- I was nervous so it's possible there could be a missing component off the board.

Hey! So while working on a retro gaming build, I've been having one of the weirdest issues I've ever ran into: my Asus P5Q-EM DO uATX motherboard outright refuses to post with an nVidia GeForce GTX 285 specifically. The card works with another slightly newer asus mobo, the M5A97 R2.0, and the board works with both onboard and with a Radeon HD 5450. Bios is the latest version - 1301, released in 2013(beta). CMOS clearing also didn't work. I hit the power button, all of the fans spin up(including the gpu's blower, and the led turns green) and the cpu fan revs up to full speed and never slows down. No beeps, no error code, the power button led never turns on, a bit of hdd activity for a couple seconds and then nothing, and no video signal. My specs: Core 2 Quad Q9650 @ 3Ghz Deepcool GAMMAXX 400 with 120mm fan Thermaltake Smart 80+ Gold 600w psu EVGA GeForce GTX 285 1GB

In length and width, the EVGA 3060 fits into the Lian Li Liancool 215 case. However, when trying to install it into the PClE slots the side piece (which contains the HDMI connector) obstructs the GPU from sliding in. Is there a workaround or other option?

I have a ryzen 3400g and as much as I been enjoying 720p low/medium and vega 11 I would like to have a graphics card so now I want to know what gpus would not bottle neck the most for my cpu. But also I would like to go a 6600 because its currently for sale at micro center for $300 and it would be a good pick whenever I upgrade to a pcie 4 motherboard but at the same time when I was running my brother's rx 580 8gb there was a cpu bottle neck in far cry 6 and so it stayed at 60-70 fps so for all of that I could just get an evga rtx 2060 6gb sc 650 80+ PLATINUM and a evga capture card for 23 cents for $310 . now the diy evga bundle has a new psu and I would get a rtx 2060 and a capture card for the same price for a rx 6600 . thank you for coming to my ted talk
