I was in my local Microcenter in St. David's last week and bought the parts I would need to build out a machine using a 5950x, 3080 graphics, multiple hard drives etc. In discussing with the sales tech there, they thought my PSU may be overkill and we dropped from a 1000w to CORSAIR RM850X FM 80+G ATX 2021 which he…
So I built a computer with the montech X1 mid tower for a friend and when he was pulling it out of the box he dropped it and the front mesh panel clips broke so we can put the front mesh panel. The pc still works fans and everything just the front mesh panel clips broke. Is it possible that I can go to my local microcenter…
Introduction: For quite some time now, PSU requirements have evolved to match the ever-growing hardware performance of our systems. Not too long ago, you could get a 600W PSU and a high-end GPU/CPU combo and be fine. Those days seem to be behind us with the latest iteration of high-end gaming hardware. With GPU's in…
How much overhead is enough for a power supply. I've watched some videos from gamers nexus and LTT but I'm still not sure. I am planning for a build like this: (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WpWQJf) which estimates my power consumption to about 470W. Is that the average or maximum power draw? If I want to OC how much more…
I'm looking to purchase a 2U case and like the Athena Power RM-2U264L and RM-2UWIN525R but can't find them for sale anywhere. Athena Power lists Micro Center on their "Where to Buy" page and I live near two stores, so would it be possible to special order one of these cases?
I am planning to get the nzxth710i cast but I am wondering if there is any better one than the nzxth710i case my parts https://pcpartpicker.com/list/
Hello, I'm preparing for a cross-country move, and would like to bring my computer with me (i.e. shipped with UPS). I was planning to ship the entire thing as-is (GPU removed to prevent motherboard stress), surrounded by the original box/styrofoam and large amounts of bubblewrap if possible. Unfortunately, the original…
I dont know too much as far as cases go, its one of the few things left i need to get other than the cpu and the power supply, most cases are around 80-200$ but is the "Corsair Obsidian 1000D RGB Tempered Glass eATX Super-Tower Case" which is about 500$ worth the cost of what it's asking and why?
I have a Skytech Blaze 2 prebuilt but I would like to move the parts into a Lian Li Lancool II Mesh that I already have. I'd like to know if I would be able to bring it to micro center for them to move the parts into the case that I have and what the cost would be for doing so.
I just built a new budget gaming PC, and there is an obvious buzzing noise that happens whenever anything is moving on the screen -- whether I'm using my mouse, scrolling down a webpage with my keyboard, or watching a video or game. If my PC is just sitting there not doing anything, the buzzing is not there. Once I start…
I already have all the pc parts, and a Bitspower Titan One, but I want to water cool the gpu as well. I understand Bitspower has extension kits for this case, but does not seem to sell the kit I need. Does anyone know how I may acquire the extension kit? If not, what parts would I need to complete the loop through EKWB?
I am now sure if it uses modern plugs/ports or older ones with a different design
I still have the panel, however it is shattered and I don't know if I can get a replacement for it, is there a way to get a replacement without buying a new case?
Been interested in this case since Product Launch announcement on June 1, 2021. Any ETA on these hitting US markets? Haven't seen them for sale anywhere yet. https://www.msi.com/blog/msi-product-launch-2021-mpg-quietude-100s
Hey there! I am currently using an old power supply (650 watt) in a "Left Overs" build from parts that I have upgraded from. I just got a Video card for it and I can only find a PCIE cable from my 750 watt that i have in my main PC. Can I use this PCIE cable in my 650 watt? I'm assuming since they are both bronze and only…
For starters, my case is a Corsair 200R ATX case that I've had since 2016. This morning, half of the plastic faceplate of the power button broke off from wear and tear. My computer thankfully still works as there is a button underneath, but now that part of the case looks weird as a result. The half that accesses the reset…
Hello, I'm looking for a cool tempered glass PC case that'll allow for all the innovations of today like the Corsair 570X but allowing the internals to be viewed on the Right side of the case vs the standard Left side. My desk is setup where my PC tower is on the left side of the desk that allows it to be closer to the…
I just got him a few days ago and Microcenter but my motherboard does not support it. I did not ask if they will work on my motherboard. I see it has no (RGB addressable) but my motherboard does not have that connector (Help!!) https://www.microcenter.com/product/616731/Touchaqua_Notos_RGB_120mm_Case_Fan_-_3_Pack…
Does Micro Center happen to carry and sell dedicated 12-pin power supply connector for those RTX cards or do I just have to use the adapter that comes with the card?
I bought a Lian Li 011 Dynamic mini at micro center, but I was not informed I needed a smaller supply, because I was told it is actually the same width of the regular 011 just shorter, this is obviously not the case because I bought a standard psu and it does not fit. Does anyone have a recommendation of what PSU will fit…
My son is new to building his own gaming computer. The motherboard does not have enough 4 pin fan connectors. What can be done to fix this issue. He needs 2 additional ports.
Hi, I currently own a Powerspec G436 pc and was looking to upgrade the cpu cooler that it currently has to a Kraken Z63. Is this compatible with the G436? And if not what would I need to change in order for it to become compatible. Thank you

So i'm trying to restore an old pc for my mom and do some upgrades but the power supply doesn't fit in the case, so i want to buy a new one but i don't want to ruin the parts or anything, the power supply that doesn't fit is a 485 watt, would a 600 watt be too much or can i do 600? if 600 is too much could i use a 500 watt?
I have 3 NZXT AER RGB 2 fans inside my case, and while they are running, they are not lighting up. Is this because I need the lighting controller that plugs into the SATA power? Also in regards to that controller, it only comes with 2 lighting channels, but is there a way to get all 3 fans connected to a single controller…
Question: Will replacing my PSU resolve the below problem? I'm obviously open to other suggestions as well. If it's worth a shot, what Corsair PSU is recommended? Issue Description: While playing higher-demanding games (Dota2, Assassin's Creed), computer will either restart without warning (90% of time) or will freeze and…
The case i was recommended doesnt seem to be a good fit for my motherboard, as the 8 pin and 24 pin wires dont have much space to be threaded through and plugged into the motherboard, it was a 680d corsair case, I wanted to get the 1000 but they are out of stock, are there any other large cases that I can get that are…
