    Opera Still Not Happy, No One Surprised.

    It's right to limit how much power a software giant like Microsoft can exert over standards, but I'm not sure it's reasonable to focus solely on something like their browser. There are a million other standards that they break but nobody focuses on those because those are less apparent to the...

    Are any of these voltages off?

    Be sure to invest on a good multimeter, like a Fluke. Cheap ones can have around 5% inaccuracy when measuring voltages, which can make them even worse than the motherboard sensors. These tolerances are usually documented along with the specs for the multimeter so be sure to look at those if...

    Can a rig have to much Wattage?

    Now when you bring some ladies home you can impress them with your perfectly powered computer that you fixed yourself. But don't hog them all, leave some for the rest of us!

    Can you power things with a PSU while not connected to the motherboard?

    Hey, you can either buy a PSU starter adapter (like this one) or, much easier, short the green wire with any black wire with a paper clip on the PSU's ATX adapter. I made my own adapter out of a paper clip this way. If your wires aren't color coded, look up the pin-outs for an ATX adapter on...

    Concerned about Silverstone Strider 1500W. Have a lot of general PSU questions.

    Your post reads like a weird stream of consciousness so I'm gonna try to make sense of it... So basically you want to power 4 video cards, bunch of drives, and a watercooling setup? You can do that with a 1000-1200W unit. Also, consider this, you can only safely draw 15A from a household...

    Are Corsair Power Supplies just hit or miss?

    I've actually been swearing by Delta for years and years, it's nice to see him finally embrace her sweet hand too. I would have bought a Signature but I just couldn't justify the price to myself. I literally was about to order one this morning and then considered how ridiculous it is to buy...

    Are Corsair Power Supplies just hit or miss?

    Oklahome Wolfe I just bought a HX650, does that mean that I should feel inadequate and paranoid about the safety of my precious computer, and that I am a subhuman piece of trash?

    Do I have enough power, captain?

    I think you're giving her all she's got. You're fine with what you have now but if you're putting in a 5970 I would get at least a higher quality unit since that one is mediocre at best. Consider something like a Corsair HX520 as a template and get something similar or better.

    Buying a new PSU

    Okay, XFX 650W vs HX650, which is better?

    Buying a new PSU

    I know, the Powerstream was allegedly pretty good back then but nowadays OCZ's offerings are mediocre. I don't think Raidmax has ever had good units though. Okay, this is pretty good. I actually already found it at ewiz through froogle but I didn't know about the coupon code, thanks. I...

    Buying a new PSU

    I'm in the market for a new PSU. Preferably I want a standard sized unit, since my Lian Li PC-60 is modded with a 120mm on top, and any PSU larger than 160mm would interfere. Though, I have a P180 I can use if it turns out I have no other choice. Also, modular is a plus, especially for higher...
