• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Need a small suggestion

I have a lower end PC. It's old in hardware standards, but I use it for blogging and programming, so I don't need too much "umf" out of it. My problem is that the 480W PSU that came with my case is just. . . . well, dead. I have an older PSU running right now, but it's almost scarey how hot the air coming out of this thing is. I could burn myself lol.

I'm looking to buy a new PSU, something that's not expensive, but will run newer hardware when I buy upgrades next year. (my absolute highest amount is $75 shipped). I was looking around the forums and I saw this was suggested:

Any thoughts?
 
How hot is the CPU heatsink? If that's generating the heat, replacing the PSU won't help; you'll just cook the new one. Figure out what's making the heat and fix that as well as replacing the PSU.
