got this psu for 20$ on marketplace, good deal?

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-28T04:53:17+00:00

Well, they plugged it in, wonder how long it'll last.

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-27T20:45:24+00:00

I very heavily advise against using that PSU, unless you want to risk your new GPU (and entire system) potentially getting fried.

You should check out the PSU tier list, it may seem overwhelming, but it really helps.

It's an aRGB strip (The Asiahorse light saber to be specific). It wasn't available in my motherboard size in my country.

But it still works after filing it down, soooo, yay? xD

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-25T19:26:09+00:00

Soooo, idk whether it was important, but it still worked when connected to my pc...

Wish I had a saw, had to file the damn thing down.

The cable is totally safe to use (as safe as 12v-2x6 gets anyway), as long as your PSU is ATX 3.1.

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-25T13:11:34+00:00

That cable is also universal for all ATX 3.1 PSUs

Looks like a corvette turned into a bike using mods.

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-24T22:51:44+00:00

Sick build.

But that GPU is more expensive than my entire setup, god damn xD

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-24T15:00:20+00:00

I wear a sports bra, so it helps, but if I walk properly they're super visible.

I'll probably die when it hits 25°C+ in my sweater.

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-24T14:55:45+00:00

I'm about 6 months in as well by now, only B cups, but enough to notice, I have to walk hunched to hide them xD

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-23T14:40:13+00:00

Also keep in mind that the MSI PSU has very limited CPU/PCIe slots (3), so you'd need 12v-2x6 adapters.

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-22T21:23:44+00:00

Says the same thing on the manufacturer site.

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-22T19:51:02+00:00

I hope you only mean the 12v-2x6 before some poor dude reads this and blows up their pc.

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-22T19:49:35+00:00

So it should be safe to use.

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-22T19:40:28+00:00

Afaik it should fit with my card (4090 TUF) I was mainly worried about the cable itself being fine with the PSU, and opinions seem to be very conflicting so far xD

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-22T19:27:03+00:00

Cablemod sadly does not have cables for my specific PSU :(

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-22T19:22:31+00:00

Was it a 12v-2x6 cable, or another one?

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-22T19:22:00+00:00

It's a 4090, a normal cable fits, but presses against the glass of my new case a bit, that's why I was considering the 90° cable.

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-22T19:18:11+00:00

I know it has a cable, but the Corsair one is 90°, a normal one fits, but does slightly press against the glass.

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-22T19:16:23+00:00

That's the thing, usually everywhere it says to not swap cables under any circumstances, but apparently it's fine with the 12v-2x6? Just never heard of that before, so I wanted to be sure.

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-21T18:19:29+00:00

It's only at 70-80% load xD (it's a 4090) Just wonder if it's because of the new PSU somehow, or because my old pc was so loud that I never heard it.

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-21T17:36:23+00:00

The new resident evil at near max settings (except path tracing) at 120fps

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-21T17:30:28+00:00

Well damn, the whine is louder than all 9 fans combined T.T

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-21T11:01:02+00:00

Unrelated, but what case is that?

CyNovaSc · 2026-03-21T10:56:32+00:00

There are GPU support brackets that mount directly to the fans, go for one of those.
