After weeks of my PC hard resetting while gaming, it turns out

>>384973872
EVGA PSU son, ten year warranty.

>>384973941
That's the one I'm getting tomorrow, EVGA 850w for $95 at Best Buy. Never buying Corsair again

>>384974073
Yeah, good call. When I built my PC I did a fuck ton of research on the psu and spent a little extra money on it because I have a complete phobia of something happening and frying everything, and the fact it's what powers the entire system it better fucking work. And mine does, year later not a single issue.

>>384973872
Corsair PSUs aren't for high end PCs

I hard reset playing xiv yesterday, I'm panicking a bit right now, it would be the second time I would have to change my psu in less than 2 years, first time I had a corsair, I'm using some random psu I forgot the name of now.

>>384974325
I realize that now. I got a 1070 a little while back and it instantly started giving me issues. Fuck Corsair

Rule of thumb. Buy heavy power supplies. More weight generally means more copper for keeping the components safe and cool. They generally last much longer because shortcuts weren't taken.

Statistically speaking power supplies are the second most common part to fail in a PC before the first month. HDDs are the first. Usually if your power supply lives for a month, it has like a 95% chance to last 5 years.

What the fuck man. I only mention it in this thread because I have basically OPs PSU and some people have said that was their problem with this card, but mine used to work fine until I updated the drivers. Tried setting MSI afterburner to keep constant voltage and nadda. I don't get why it would reboot while idle and not under load.

The only PSUs you should have bother with are XFX, Seasonic and Rosewill.

This thread has convinced me that /v/ is filled with shills that will do anything to defend a fucking brand. You're all fucked

>>384975941
I thought Rosewill was knockoff-tier?

>>384975953
In what way? People are shitting on corsair and some defending it, just like how the rest of the world operates.

I have a CXM PSU and it works fine on my machine.

Don't buy any cheap PSU make sure its certified, just do your research and you won't be sleeping in a cardboard box because your house caught on fire.

Gosh why are people so stupid with PC hardware go buy a console if you can't google hardware defects.

Alright since you all have your panties in a wad, this is what I'm planning on buying. It's on sale for $95 at Best Buy right now. And I already said I am dumb with this stuff but you can all keep calling me an idiot if you guys want. I'm honestly just asking for advice here

>>384975869
Anyone have any suggestions? I've done several complete wipes using driver uninstaller, older drivers, etc. The problem persists.

>>384976270
If it was a Logisys made by Superflower on the Leadex or Golden Green platform I sure as fuck would.

If it was a proven Sonicwall I would.

If it was any quality OEM with Nippon-Chemicon caps I would.

But you already know that, you're just being a fucking faggot and are trying to fish for replies so your shitty thread doesn't die.

Too bad faggot, it's gonna die anyway.

>>384976259

>>384976497

There's plenty of brands nobody knows about especially taiwanese stuff that is actually good and reasonably they are just not well marketed because of EVGA and Corsair marketing to dumb gamers.

Unless you have 1080's in SLI and and an i9 odds are you don't need that much power and it's a waste.

I just replaced my power supply last November. A fucking BFG Tech 1200w EX. Manufacture date of like 2008. Shit was working flawlessly for like 8 years straight only replaced it to be safe. Bought an EVGA Supernova 850w Titanium which I fully expect will last me another 8 and has a 10 year warranty GG no re.

You need a certain amount of amps per rail to power a high end card. The overall amp means fuck all if the psu can't provide enough power per component.

this
If you really want the "best" power supply then Seasonic is the way to go. But Seasonic is much more expensive than other brands, so EVGA and Corsair (despite ops problem) are normally the middle ground for people who want to spent a lot of money, but not too much.

>>384982746
Because I ended up having to reinstall the driver since the first one wasn't that up to date and I have no idea what the previous driver was anymore. Windows has zero record of it so I would be just guessing over and over. I've already tried 6 different ones based on old threads on forums, all have the same issue. Some had it worse and would reboot under load as well. You had random reboots when your monitors shut off? What version is your driver? I bet they have the same revision history

I would listen to this guy. I bought the cheap bronze 850w psu and either that is causing my pc to reset like twice a month randomly or my gpu/mobo getting old. ACtually, it could be anything. Maybe even from overclocking. Just glad it doesn't happen under /v/ load.

Stop using it. The last CRT monitor I ever owned, one night it made a noise. You know that *THUNG* noise big CRTs made when you powered them on? Like that, but much louder. Then the screen shut off and immediately came back on. I shut that fucker off right quick, and didn't use my computer again until I'd gotten the cash together to replace it.

I advise you do the same. RAM or hard drive acts up, that's one thing. When your PSU puts one toe outta line, you replace that thing. When it starts smoking? Get that shit out of your rig posthaste, before it burns down your house.

>>384974325

Depends on the line. Corsair doesn't make PSUs, it receives them from many manufacturers. Their PSUs range from non-gaming to tanks.

Vidya rigs should NOT have VS and CX PSUs. The rest are fine for vidya.

ALWAYS go gold certified with the PSU. OP went bronze like a moron and got burned.

So I'm a complete dumbass about PC parts and shit. I built mine with my PC-knowledgeable friend holding my hand for everything. He's overseas now so I can't talk to him and Google hasn't helped me at all so I'll ask here.

I got the Razer black widow ultimate keyboard last year on black Friday. Fine keyboard, does everything I need it to do, except one thing. When my computer is booting up, or rebooting after a BSOD and it asks you to press enter or wait the 30 seconds, my keyboard has absolutely no control. I'll press F2 to enter BIOS settings or whatever to try to do it myself but it never works. No key inputs work until I get to my password screen and idk how to fix it. But this is the only keyboard I have so I'm kind of stuck. Any advice?

Sorry for text wall. tldr keyboard doesn't respond on boot up, only at password screen

I have a 1000w corsair i gpt 2 years ago and it runs great.

Inb4 "wasted money you dumb nigger noone needs this much" i know but It was on sale so i got it for like 2 dollars more than the 750 one would cost also the fans pretty much never have to start because im barely even at half capacity

Try putting in on USB if you are in ps2 or other way around

>>384986494
what model exactly?

Why do they even make power supplies with less than gold certified?

>>384986549
Rm1000

>>384986639
Most people don't need gold cert PSUs

Office computers, APU systems, low-end gaming systems etc. All these don't need great PSUs

>>384986653
It's not that bad of a purchase, you could carry it over your next system

>>384986639
On lower wattage budget builds the excess heat and wasted electricity is acceptable

>>384973872
You bought a piece of shit 750w bronze certified and you wonder why it lasted less than 2 years?
Go back to consoles you worthless idiotic nigger

>>384986758
Already have, upgraded from amd fx 9590 to a 6700k. Really should have researched more about the cpus before i got the vulcano 9590... just assumed amd was still good.

if it's not HX, don't buy

>>384975869
Dude you are literally fucking me. I'm running a Tri-X R9 290 and a CX750 and after one of my driver upgrades this year (not the most recent, I think it was around May) I started rarely getting BSODs whenever the display driver would reset (mostly when switching user/logging off and very rarely in some games). I've updated drivers several times since then and each time the patch notes have mentioned the issue and said it's fixed, but it still keeps happening to me.

I also semi-rarely get square inch checkerboard artifacts that are tied to the application and only go away if I fully close and restart whatever process they're tied to. I thought it was something on my GPU like the VRAM being corrupt, but now I'm wondering if it's because of this PSU.

Anyone know of a test for PSU integrity, or is it just a case of "you won't know it's fucked until it's already too late?"

>>384987229
>buy hx
>break after 3 months

I've had a corsair CX650 for five years and it's still going strong.

Motherboard : Gigabyte
Ram : Corsair
HDD : WDC Black
SSD : Samsung
VGA : Digital Alliance for cheap one, no idea about the expensive one
PSU : Seasonic / EVGA

Come at me.

Who else /antec/ here?

I am upgrading mine cause i need a new psu with more watts.

I have had my antec for 7 years now with now probs.

>>384987991

>>384973872
Can'tgo wrong with seasonic or superflower

>>384975869
How old is your card? Could be your card is dying. Try finding really old drivers, if that works, upgrade step by step. Check release date of your card, google date + GPU + driver.

>>384986639
because no one gives a shit if the efficiency is only 80%

I bet you are a retard who figures that the certification determines the reliability of the psu

My CX600's fan started getting noisy as shit lately and that thing is barely 2 years old.
Is fan replacement hard?

>>384982138
If you want a silent PSU you have to get a good deal more than you actually need so the fan never kicks on.

Most psu either live long enough you'll be worried on using it in a new system or it will break suddenly. This is true with no-name brand chink brands I tried, good ones and expensive ones.

>>384988721
do you know how to turn screws you missing link

>>384974623
dude your gonna have some brain tumors in the next 2 years from that smoke.

>>384985859
Add the RM series to that list too, most actual hardware PSU reviews can you show they are absolute garbo aswell.

Rather just pay for a Seasonic on whatever rig im making.

>>384973872
Corsairs are a hit and miss and it depends on the OEM.I lucked out a couple of years ago when i got a semi-modular Vengeance.
Still got some 2 years of waranty on it and i probably get something new the moment it runs out.

You don't even need 750W idiot. Are you running like 10 fucking oldschool HDDs with 4-card SLI and some crazy stupid RGB lighting system? Most of that is just going to be turned into dissipated heat.

You'd be fine with a 500w. But whatever, your power bills, your wallet.

>>384989328

dont think u know how electricity works

>>384989401
I don't think you do

>>384973872
>Corsair PSU
Yep, found your problem. Even their 'premium models' allegedly made by Seasonic are garbage somehow. Never again.

>>384974325
>Corsair PSUs aren't for high end PCs
They don't fail under high-end performance stress exclusively but much earlier. So granted, you can't call you PC high-end with one of these in it.

>>384989479
Are you talking about efficiency curves or do you really think that using a 700W PSU means consuning 700Wh??

>>384973872
My Corsair PSU has lasted for over 6 years now anon, sucks to be you :^)

fug I have that exact same PSU, should I be worried? It seems to work fine on my shitty machine.

>>384978012
You could put it on carpet and just prop up the feet on the bottom with something

I'm shitposting on a build powered by a 6 year old cx600 and 8gigs of the old ddr3 ram, fight me nigger. I will never not buy a corsair psu/ram unless a seasonic is on an unbelievable sale.

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139126&FM=1

The reviews alone suggest that OP didn't research anything.

>>384973872
What's wrong with corsair? Been using it for 2 years now with no problems whatsover, always thought they make good psu's with quality components.
From what I know at least, Corsair and Seasonic are the best PSU brands you can get.

>>384990410
Most are like that, just got an extended 3'x1' pad and it smelt like rubber for the first couple of days

>>384990314
Corsair are literally re-branded Seasonic PSUs.

>>384975309
as dumb as it sounds this is partially true for certain brands

buy EVGA for the warranty alone

motherboards are not as weak as they once were so if your psu was to die suddenly and you're worried about the other components being fried then stop worrying

>>384990523
No, Corsair are re-branded Channel Well Technology (which is a Taiwanese company) PSUs.

Building a PC was a fun experience. I'm glad I did it.

>>384976598
Corsair CSM PSUs have a better success rate than rosewill fortess and antec psus

>>384990862
Correction it was not a cooler master but ocz looking online there weren't much complaints but not much praise. The psu works well even with miami's shitty weather and power outages. Iirc it was that stealth x one.

>>384990892

More then that its had 3 revisions for breaking down, if you anyone buys it they are retards. The CX are basically left over PSUs they just refurbish. Most PC stores probably have older revisions pilling up so they are selling them off cheap and dumb people who don't do their research will buy it up willy nilly not realising they are buying a broken revision 1 or 2.

>>384991282

That's just free treats anon, don't you know they eat bugs in China

>>384991282
>>384990410
This is China's secret war against the west.

I do not know much of PCs. What is the best PSU I can get for 100$ or less? PC is lower end, can run some recent games, but on lower settings. Seasonic is above 100 from what I found.
