Hello everyone.. last month i asked a question here to know the manufacturing date of my old cooler master 850w psu .. and little did i know it was a 13-14 year old psu.. everyone recommended me to change that psu asap.. but i just bought my 3080ti.. I don't have a good budget.. my friend is selling me this cx750f rgb for a good price.. i am attaching a pic of that psu.. can anyone tell me the manufacturing date of that psu.. in old corsair psu we can tell the manufacturing date by looking at the serial no. But i think in newer psu this method doesn't apply.. And also one more question should this psu be enough for my build? Specs: Ryzen 5 5600x RTX 3080ti undervolted to 0.815v (300watt ish) 32gb ddr4 3200mhz cl16 ram And some rgb fans. Serial no. Of cx750f 0316212009802

hey guys im looking for some info about this specific psu warranty policy, meanwhile i found nothing. any official source about this one? how long the warranty? and how can i register. ty so much

Pretty sure my PSU is the problem but just picking the internet's brain first. The system is below but the general history was: COVID Build PC for home/office which ran strong for what it was. First problem arose ~18M ago, PC wouldn't POST but this turned out to be the design of the Power Button on the front of the case (Phanteks 400S). Replaced and no issues for a while. Then the PC began to intermittently not response to waking up from sleep mode, couldnt figure it out at the time as work was hectic so i just disabled sleep mode and never got round to fixing it. Always put it off, train of thought was... if i'm gonna open it up, might as well upgrade the board and processor but work + life didn't give me much time to set time aside. Recently (~6M) there's been a fair bit of planned power outages as the hospital round the corner is having major constuction done. When powers back on it would be hit & miss if the PC would power up first try. Occasionally I'd resort to unplugging it entirely for an hour or so and this would fix it thinking that the CMOS battery might be dodgey. The PSU never entered my mind at this point... I'd always get lights flashing on the ethernet adapter and the very minor slither of LED on the MB. The fans not kicking over immediately was always assumed to be the cooling profile of the quiet set-up. But the other day we lost power unexpectantly and can not get a rise out of the machine even with all the ol tricks... So i opened the case up and ran the usual no-POST checks... reseated cards, plug/unplug things and tried to flash up, new battery for the MB... but still no-POST so on to checking out the PSU. PSU is still powering the MB but the quick jump of the PSU 24pin test yielded nothing. The PSU fan didn't move. Ran it back 4 or 5 more time and once I got the front fans to fire up. Thinking it maybe an intermittant fault with the PSU cables or plugs I chased that down but still no obvious problem. I'm guessing that the fault is in the guts of the PSU and this gradual degradation was actually happening for a while. I was ready to say f$ck it and buy a new version of the same PSU to throw in and be done with it, but I thought I'd ask if anyone had any other fault finding to try before hand. I don't have a spare MB or PSU, so I cant bench it to be 100%. I've got amazon dropping off a cheap PSU tester today. I know its not the same as a bench test underr load, but atleast it will give me an idea what the voltages are across the pins and it'll be quicker that digging around in my shed to find my DMM. I have a suspicion that my 8yo is using it as a grebble in his hidden base. - ASUS Prime B365M-A Motherboard - be quiet! Straight Power 11 Gold Modular 850W Power Supply - be quiet!

Hello guys, I am planning to build myself my first ever PC. So I decided to look for a PSU and the Asus Rog Strix 750G seems like a good choice and I want to order it. Before I did I wanted to check it one last time. I looked at the back of it, where the cables go (modular PSU) and I saw the Motherboard section. There is a "port" for a 18 pin connector and a whole separate "port" for a 10 pin connector. How can I connect this PSU to my Motherboard if I need a 24pin connector and my PSU doesn't have a "port" for a 24pin connector? Do I need to split cables or something or is there a simpler solution that I am just not seeing? Thanks for you help in advance!

i7 11700 probably pulls around 250w at max. (intel turbo boost turned on) RTX 3080 maybe aib partners card pulls around 350-400w at most. 2 ssd (sn550 1tb + sx8200 2tb) maybe 5-10w each Ram idk if will draw power 5 fans maybe 10w total That brings us to 670+ watts pull from the system (I don't overclock) * Is a 750w psu enough for all of these? Will it run out of thermal headroom and shut itself down? Or even worse system died :(?

I'm looking for a PSU to accommodate my ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 Ti KO Gaming OC and the recommended PSU is 750w. So I am wondering what is the best PSU on the market? Whilst being relatively quiet, efficient, and affordable. Id say my max budget is $175 (I go by AUD $$$)

Budget (including currency): ... Country: Nepal Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Power Supply 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): So I am planning to do my first build with a Ryzen 5 3600 and a 2060(gigabyte maybe) and was looking for suggestion on which power supply to use. Also, will it be ok if i use a 650W psu for this build or should i get a 750W or something else? Some of the PSUs that i have thought using are: i) Gigabyte P650b( 650W) -> 80+ Bronze (Probably not gonna use this after the Gamers Nexus review on the 750W) -> Rs14,500($122.19 USD) ii) Thermaltake Smart BM2 750W -> 80+ Bronze -> Rs12,500($105.34 USD) iii) 1STPLAYER SteamPunk 650W -> 80+ Gold -> Rs14,800($124.72 USD) iv) CORSAIR CX650 650W -> 80+ Bronze -> Rs13,500($113.77 USD) v) CORSAIR CX750 750W -> 80+ Bronze -> Rs16,200($136.52 USD) Please suggest what should i do and which onw to choose?

Is there any negative to a SFX psu? longevity? when compared to a standard ATX? I recently motherboard swapped my one system and the board is bigger. I've considered removing the 120mm fan from the psu and adding a pair of 40mm to the rear or finding alternative psus. I have just a hair over 3in for psu height so swapping to a SFX would fit I just didn't know if their was a lower life expectancy or any negatives to SFX vs ATX, it has the 24pin 2(eps12v) and 8 4pin connectors as well as a few pcie and sata. Not enough slots to plug everything but enough to use the cables that i need. My other option is to order a flex atx or server psu and use a breakout board. A different case or board is not an option. So is there a negative to SFX? this is the unit I'm looking at unless there are any better suggestions?

Recently built my first gaming PC (on my own) and didn't take into account the power requirements of these new GPU's that were being released. So my question is will what GPU will the 750W PSU support with what I have already got. I have 2 1080P monitors and 1440p monitor for gaming (Gigabyte with amd freesync). I would like to get the new Radeon 6800 XT, the minimum power supply is 750W, but I don't know if that will be enough. Ryzen 5 3600X Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3000 CL15 Memory Samsung 860 Evo 1 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive

I'm in the UK if it helps, need a new PSU for an incoming 3060ti, think 650w should do it, but I could be wrong so please correct me! Thanks in advance.

I don't get it... I used the tester... turned it on, first nothing happened for a few seconds then the fan started to spin, then it sounded like a fuse died, and it's now not working anymore... there wasn't any sparks or anything either... it just... died, I guess? Is this normal for defective PSUs? I thought they'd just not turn on if they're broken, but this one did turn on, for a whole second...

I'm a first time builder. I have Ryzen 7 3700x, B550-PLUS motherboard from ASUS, 32 GB (3600Mhz 18CL) of ram, Samsung Evo 970 1TB and ASUS TUF 3070 OC. I also have Masterbox MB511 from Cooler Master with 650W PSU 80+ I'm worried about PSU being a bit low. I didn't actually put the parts together so I don't know If it will work. I won't overclock it and even If I do it will be very little. So should I buy something more powerful?

My spec now is Ryzen 5 3600 gtx 1080 16gb vengeance pro rgb b450m mortar max (PSU aerocool 500W bronze +80) Right now my psu having problem not enough power, so i though to upgrade it and using it until 5-6 years. What i want to tell is what if i grab 750W +80 gold full modular range price <$150. The question i might upgrade GPU in 1 or 2 year later (RTX 40 or 30) , so it really worth to grab High end PSU right now? the problem is my penny really suck right now because COVID in my country What do you think?

Hi Guys, I am heavily considering upgrading to an Asus TUF 3080 after all the teething issues with crashes and stock shortages etc subside etc. but I am wondering if my current systems PSU will be up to spec to handle a card that draws so many Watts. I currently have a Corsair CX750 Power Supply in my PC, which has been more than enough for my i7-9700k and RTX 2060 Super, however hearing about all the issues with Power Supplies etc people are having, I am a little worried that getting an RTX 3080 and using that with my current PSU might be a bad idea if it ends up running the power supply at its maximum rated power delivery a lot of the time, and might causes crashes etc. Would you guys be able to let me know if you think it would be alright using that Power Supply, or do you think I should upgrade to a better rated 850w PSU instead, as recommended by NVIDIA? And also as a side question, would an i7-9700k bottleneck a 3080? Link to my PSU: https://www.cnet.com/products/corsair-cx750-power-supply-750-watt/

Corsair have two different variants in same watts category. Both are gold certified and fully modular. One is slightly pricier than the other in my country. But what's the main difference between these two? Which one is better or worse (If not same quality)?? And also...Is RM series power supply good for long term use??? https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Power-Supply-Units/RM-Series™/p/CP-9020234-NA https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Power-Supply-Units/Power-Supply-Units-Advanced/RM-Series™-80-PLUS-Gold-Power-Supplies/p/CP-9020195-NA

Hey there, does anyone know if its possible to run my rtx 3080 ftw3 ultra fine by using only 2 6+2pin cables eventhough the card has 3 8pin slots or will there be any issues? I dont want to overclock or anything and my psu is the EVGA Supernova 750 GT.

I have 500 power supply for my system i5 10400 and 1660ti and want to upgrade my power to upgrade my system (in the future) for AMD 7000 CPU a GPU like 3070 or something in this range, the cougar gex 850, bitfenix whisper m750 are the same price, I can't find a lot of reviews for the cougar it is good or go for BITFENIX whisper with less power and hope it will be enough

Hello! i live in Armenia where we use european power output (220v) voltage, should i order power supply from US market ?? will it work? There is a such a good deal in Newegg with asus rog strix 750w 80+ gold and rog strix 3060, or 30600ti sold together for 550-620$ and now i am building my pc, i would like to buy it, but idk if it's ok... I will leave a link, please look https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4492153 I know it's out of stock, but it restock frequently.

Ok so i currently have a GTX 970 which i’ve had for the last 4-5 years and i’m planning on getting an RTX 2060 super or 2070 super, not quite sure yet. With that i got a Corsair CX600 psu at the same time and i was wondering if i should upgrade my psu aswell since i’m getting a new gpu?

Hey Guys, I'm a little bit concerned regarding this B350 Gaming 3 Motherboard and Ryzen 5 1600X CPU that i got. When on idle, it keeps trying to push 1-2 processors to 4.0ghz and back to 3.6 all the time and the voltage keeps going from 1.272 to 1.50+ and down, literally every few seconds. I'm no PC guru, but this kind of instability shouldn't be a thing, right? Its all stock, nothing was Overclocked and i reset the bios settings and made sure that the only thing i have in there modified, is disabled Quiet Run, fans pumped up to max and Memory to being 3200MHZ. Otherwise i haven' touched the voltage or CPU power. Under idle it seems to jump like you see here: http://i.imgur.com/aF2n0m4.png But when its under stress, it doesn't fluctuate at all - its always sitting a the right 3693GHZ for each core and voltage is steadily pulling 1.272~1.284 instead of jumping up to 1.5V Example: http://i.imgur.com/kPDZucS.jpg I don't have Turbo enabled or anything and this PC is literally two days old so everything is brand-new and stock. Also i noticed that the VRM temps are all over the place, they are going around just like the voltage going up and down all the time from 45C to 60C like a roller-coaster. I know that the temps are fine up to 110C around, but are they always this unstable or is something wrong with the system? Is this system busted somehow, or is it supposed to be like this? I was thinking of downloading some APPS to limit the voltage and maybe stabilize the PC so its not going all over the place like that but i'm pretty new to this and i have no idea how to do that yet. With everything said, will i one-day a few weeks into the future wake up to a fried CPU/MB if i leave it like that?

So this is not an entirely new build, a few of the parts listed I scrapped from my previous PC. I've read the sticky, but i just thought i'd make a post anyway; ease of mind and all that. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($328.99 @ SuperBiiz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U12S 55.0 CFM CPU Cooler ($58.99 @ NCIX US) Motherboard: Asus SABERTOOTH Z170 MARK 1 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($239.99 @ SuperBiiz) Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($88.99 @ NCIX US) Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($139.89 @ OutletPC) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($71.00 @ Amazon) Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 980 4GB STRIX Video Card ($504.99 @ SuperBiiz) Case: NZXT S340 Elite (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($89.99 @ SuperBiiz) Power Supply: Super Flower Leadex Gold 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply Total: $1522.83 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2016-11-03 05:16 EDT-0400 So i went with 650W, which from the sticky says is more than enough. So is it? I'm planning on heavily overclocking my rig as evidenced by MOBO choice, with the possibility of adding a full custom loop with an SLI setup in the very near future (2 1080s, if I can scrap the cash). Also I know that futureproofing is a myth, but at least with the power supply and motherboard I would very much like for both components to last at least 2 build iterations. So is Superflower known for its longevity? or should i just go with a more mainstream PSU like a Corsair RM650x? the price is higher but honestly if it'll give me an additional 1-2 over the Superflower it's a sound investment. Honestly I just went with the Superflower because the connectors light up and it looks cool, but with the s340 elite I guess it won't matter since there's a basement for the PSU anyway. So yeah, any input or suggestions for other PSUs are very much welcome!

Hey all! I'm looking for the best quality PSU for my next system which will consist of the following components : - i7 7700K - X62 - Z270 mobo - 16GB G.Skill TridentZ 3200MHz CL14 - 960 EVO M.2 250GB - 850 EVO SATA SSD 1TB - GTX 1080 So the question is which PSU to get and will 750W be enough for this system spec ?

i just had a bad experience with a bad psu and i need a new one, whats probably the best 750w psu for a normal price? (like not $150 or something like that) i want it to be modular but semi modular is ok.
