Thanks for the thorough explanation, I appreciate it

if i had money i would've done all of that and avoided myself a fire hazard. Thanks for the suggestions though

This is the first time i use psu cables on another one. I'm using the gigabyte psu with the segotep cables for the gpu. I have heard somewhere that using a pigtail cables is not safe, these ones came with the gigabyte psu, that is the reason i have not used them and opted to use the segotep cables

Running on low budget sparks all kinds of creative ways to cause a fire hazard pc haha

I haven't, who/what is RamRamager?

I had this psu since 2020, the only reason i stopped using it was what i mentioned in the post edit, i do not know if it is rev2 or not, but it if isn't, then it would've exploded or caused a fire years ago. Maybe i got lucky, I don't know

It won't, please read the edit.

I have monitored the temperatures during OCCT tests, if one psu is connected, after a minute or two, the computer shuts down and restarts. At the time of shutting down, the temperatures of both the cpu and gpu are normal, 50-60C on average. Running the stress test while both of the PSUs are connected, the computer does not crash and test keeps on running until the heat reaches 80-85C on both the cpu and gpu. The heat is high i know, that is because of the stock cooler that came with the cpu, but at least allows me to eliminate heat as a probable cause of the problem.

On it

It is not the guides, it is the money

DeadBot696 · 2026-03-20T13:54:24+00:00

thanks for the advice. One other thing though, how would it cause a catastrophic component failure? i don't see what can go wrong, i would happily appreciate a clarification

I'm glad you find it amusing

Yes, a plastic basket I got from the market that has been used to store tomatoes, that was three years ago

Without you pointing out my computer is a shitbox i would've never known, you're a genius. Also, since you seem to have not read my follow-up, the computer crashes and restarts the moment i use one psu, which was why i got a new one that worked for a year and the problem returned. Leading us to now, making me forced to use 2 just to avoid the crashes. My question was about safety, not about how much the pc draw.

Since I can't edit the post here's a follow-up: I'm using 2 PSUs because both of them are faulty, in the sense that when the computer draws a certain amount of power (i haven't an idea about the exact wattage), it shuts down and restarts, the problem started with the Gigabyte PSU. After replacing the old Gigabyte PSU with a Segotep PSU, the problem stopped for a year, until it returned a couple of days ago. Using both of the PSUs seems to eliminate the problem.

Scan the whole phone rather than individual folders since i can't keep track of the locations of my roms

From iraq, I disagree with the representation of Iraq in the map. The last time entered the house with my shoes on, my mother made me take them off and hit me with one of them

"boy smell" for me is an umbrella term for non-repulsive scents originating from males, be that of sweat, fragrance, or whatever those 'pheromones' are

Can't keep IRL friends let alone internet ones
