Excitement for the LanCool III Cases?
Having built dozens of systems in the LanCool II, I've always found it extremely easy to make look good. my only complaint has been it's curb weight. the 2 tempered glass side panels makes it heavy even empty. But none the less, they are great to work in. Having done several 011 - EVO builds I like to see the additional…

New PSU good for system?
I recently got a new Thermaltake Smart 80+ 500W for my PC, since my old PSU was an old Raidmax from an ancient prebuilt that I didn't want to risk failing on me, and because I had a $10 off coupon that was expiring soon.

Power Supply Cables vs Motherboard with an 8 + 4
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…

Introduction: For quite some time now, PSU requirements have evolved to match the ever-growing hardware performance of our systems.

Power Supply Overhead
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 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?

Buzzing noise from new PSU whenever motion on screen or graphics being generated?

Power button on case broke this morning. PC can still work, but what can I do?
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…
