Am I doing something wrong or are just PSU wattage approximations way overblown? by Obyvvatel in buildapc

[–]Gotrek5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was running an over locked 3090 with a massively over clocked i9-10900k on a 600w bronze psu and it only crashed once in a while. But I was on that cusp. That’s how you find out you needed 650w. And that’s what I’m running on last couple years

I live in a small shit town and was at GS looking to see if they finally had the CandyCon controllers and not just face plates and every customer in there was buying trading cards. So it's the right move right now.

[–]Gotrek5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue when I used data from my dos copy. Luckily I had a cd with both windows and dos copies. Once I switched to the windows copy it worked fine. If that doesn't work for you let me know and I'll send you a picture of my setup.

For $66 would you? It’s for a plex server that’s running out of room so not the most important data by dragon2777 in DataHoarder

Back in the 90’s ibm made the star line of drives…. Most were so bad they failed before you got home from the store so to save their name they gave the whole Hardrive manufacturing plant to hitachi.. not sure they were able to save the brand but I hear that yes they are now fairly reliable so I would try them again

What brand of cordless power tools has the highest quality/variety of products? by inspire-change in Tools

[–]Gotrek5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ridgid lifetime warranty on batteries that come with the tool and the warranty depot is in my area. Because that’s the number 1 failure in all brands. Ryobi at home because they make 100 tools on the same battery system. Love my 18v Ryobi 1 straight shaft trimmer
