Corsair's 7000D or 7000X can fit an E-ATX & 40-series no problem. Depending on the motherboard you might have to remove the motherboard cable cover ; my board has a right angle ATX connector so I didn't have to. Not the final build but this is what my rig looked like about a week ago. The...

Yep! I've had one for ages. The 770W reading was the highest it caught during a power stress test with OCCT. What I can't tell is how much more load could be placed on it if hard drives, RAM, chipset fan, or other components started pulling a few extra watts during operation. Up to 825W...

I'm debating upgrading my PSU. Not because it would be an ATX 3.0, but because I might need more power down the line. After running through OCCT power tests, various game benchmarks at 3x 4K displays (GPU 100% utilized!), I'm currently peaking at 770W with a 3900x & 4090 on a high quality...

How's the gaming thus far III_Slyflyer_III ? My rig has 3x 4K@60Hz monitors so I am hoping the old 3900X won't bottleneck the card before V-Sync does. If it does, I'm curious what your initial impressions has been with the 4090 on your 5950X? I'd have to debate upgrading my CPU vs moving to...

Same here! MSI Suprim X 4090 inbound. Probably not the smartest move for my wallet but my current eVGA RTX 2080 Super FTW3 doesn't hold up too well with 4K ... Amazon also has in stock the sleeved Corsair 12VHPWR cable that's compatible with my PSU so that's on order also. EDIT: ... and most...

Well that isn't a problem if you refuse to buy Xbox Series X or Xbox Series X games. Get Microsoft for anti-consumer behavior where it hurts ... in their wallet.

You can cross ship, but Corsair is going to charge (not hold) ~$100. Once the old PSU is received they will refund the charge. Not the best PR but you can minimize downtime with a little inconvenience.

That's good to know, thanks!

Well this is going about as slow as I expected, not the best customer service experience. 6/4 - Filed RMA requests 6/8 - Corsair asks for proof of purchase and serial number. I thought I had provided that information in the initial RMA request. 6/10 - Corsair says they do not have a PSU for my...

That's completely understandable, but Corsair needs to stop charging credit/debit cards the moment a product is ordered. Corsair was days away from my filing a credit card charge back for an order that was going to be 30+ days late without any response from customer service. Every other...

Good for them to recall, but I just finished building three PCs with SF-series PSUs. Their order processing times are absolute shit right now so it'll probably be at least a month long wait to get a replacement PSU. EDIT: Yep, two of three PSUs are in the affected lots. Two recall requests...

I don't know why, but after deleting the array and recreating it I'm up to 250MB/s+. In RAIDXpert2 those disks now show as having a "Type" of "Disk" instead of "Legacy". Maybe that was the issue. Restoring data from backup now. OK, down to the optical drive issue alone...

Maybe. I'm also getting intermittent connectivity with the optical drive too. Sometimes it is there, sometimes it is not. EDIT: Nope, changed out the cables with SATA cables from my old rig (no issues there) and the speeds are the same.

Well there's something going on, but I can't pinpoint it. An SSD attached to the chipset SATA ports is hitting 350MB/s no issue. I've turned off W10's indexing, there's no page file on that disk, and this is a fresh install that isn't doing any work yet. So I'm not sure what's going on. I...
