I would recommend that you talk a bit slower to make it easier for people to follow. Accents can be a problem for some people and speaking quickly only makes it harder to understand. Personally I dislike YouTube vids because I find it difficult to extract the information that I want. It is far...

It sounds like an issue with your brain & nervous system which is probably being driven by high cortisol levels. I have similar issues with bright screens and looking at white so I eliminate all white backgrounds with a browser extension called Firefox Dark Background and Light Text. I do not...

That seems very low for your whole PC including PSU losses. Is that a from the wall measurement? Presumably the HDD would be at sleep. Mine isn't as ATM my SSD is in my other PC but it was purchased for my main PC and I have not yet installed it. Your using a ITX motherboard rather than a full...

My Seasonic 550 Focus Plus Platinum turned up today. I took some power measurements using the old PSU before I installed it, a Corsair HX 520. The Corsair when in the bios pulled 76-77 watts from the wall and 73-75 watts when idling in windows. Running Prime95 In Place Large FFT's for maximum...

A heads up for anyone that might be interested. Amazon Germany has the Philips BDM3270QP/00 81 cm (32") on a lightning deal in 4 hours at 1643/1645 GMT. It is currently selling for €449.00 EURO so whatever the reduction is. https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00UEMEZW8?psc=1

It's the SATA and Molex I need more of, rather than PCI-e. I MIGHT use 1 PCI-e power when I get a video card, probably a GTX 1050 and many do not use PCI-e power, but will not use more than that. I am currently using Intel on board video and only want to get a video card because Intel HD 3500...

Thanks, I might have to do that when I receive my Focus Plus 550 Platinum. I ordered on Wednesday so just awaiting delivery. Yes I do know that there are 2 PCI-e connectors per cable. The pictures, if accurate, does show 5x8 pin PSU CPU/PCI-e connectors. It looks like the 650 is supplied with...

I read it was around a 2% increase. However the bigger the improvement the better for us in 220-240V countries. A 6 point improvement seems a lot.

I think that FDB are more for noise than for life span. Looking at the PSU specs the fan life is about 8 years 24/7 (70000 hours)@40C but the warranty is 10 years on the PSU. The fan is not meant to operate until the PSU reaches fairly high power usage so idling the fan probably will not operate...

Reading the reviews, it does look like there are more connections on the PSU's than supplied cables so more connections could be added. There are 4 SATA/Molex connections provided and 5 CPU/PCI-e which seems excessive to me. I do not think that I would use more than the CPU power and possibly 1...

Yes the Seasonic Focus line do look like good PSU's. The only problem that I had with them was the connections with only 6 SATA and 3 Molex but it does look like more could be added because there are extra connections available on the PSU but without cables. If only I can find a place that sell...

I have a HX520 myself and it is an utter POS. It has been faulty since I purchased it but the fault was so difficult to work out that I never got it fixed while it was in warranty. Some of these PSU's have faults with the power good signal which can cause system instability when the PSU powers...

I have been looking at the Seasonic Focus plus and there seem to be two versions of this PSU. There is a Gold and a Platinum efficiency version. The long warranty is great, longer than the Bitfenix PSU's but the number of connections are more limited. Only 6 SATA (8 on Bitfenix) seems a bit...
