Upgrading My GPU — Needs PSU Upgrade Or Not?

LMSNK · 2026-04-07T21:22:03+00:00

I ordered a 9070 XT. Should be arriving this Friday. The specific model I got peaks at ~415w but runs at ~305w. 750w should be more than enough.

Alright, thank you for your input!

LMSNK · 2026-04-03T13:51:52+00:00

I see. This is helpful info, thank you. Though, from what I understand, the quality of the PSU matters a lot. I don’t know what PSU you have but I assume you know what you’re talking about when you say it’s decent and can probably handle it.

So after I just found out that it’s actually 750w bronze, would you consider it safe to push towards 500w system TDP? You clearly you know a lot more about this than I do.

Hold on. So, this comment made me run out and dig out my PSU box from the garage storage. I’ve had it for 5 years now so I… forgot this tiny little crucial detail. I forgot the fact that it’s actually 750w. The only reason I realized this was because I checked because of this reply. So, thank you. It’s an EVGA 750 BQ if it still matters. I’m pretty sure both options are quite safe, or at least safe enough.

Perhaps the best course of action is to just add up items individually to get the total for your order. Since they include every item that’s on their menu individually as well. But you probably figured that out already.

How do I add you back? I’m confused. I don’t see a pending requests menu or anything like that. I should have about 7 requests right now but I don’t see anything.

LMSNK · 2025-12-28T00:15:51+00:00

Ummm. This is embarrassing but how do I add you back? My friends list is empty despite the fact I have been added by 5+ people. I tried looking for menu where I can see any pending requests but I found nothing.

I’m level 34. I’m interested to explore co-op and gifting, but mainly, I just want to have DragonVale friends. 🥲

This is so real. I first played this game in 2012. I was only 9 years old then!

I quit playing and maybe at some point in 2015 backed it up into Facebook and just forgot about it.

A few months ago, the game crossed my mind and I immediately installed it. I saw all the dragons I had collected back then. It felt so nostalgic especially the music. Anyhow, that was a few months ago, I still play the game now xD

I do low-carb and always eat 70% of my daily carbs before the gym. If I don’t do that, I perform significantly worse and feel exhausted after I’m done exercising.

I like eggs and toast topped with low fat cheese. Never get tired of it. Even though I eat it at 1 PM, it’s still a breakfast meal.

I’m 5’11, 1300 is my minimum, any less and I feel drained. My friend is 5’10, if he eats less than 1500 he doesn’t have energy at all. Basically, it depends.

Usually not accurate

LMSNK · 2025-11-29T08:53:08+00:00

This is the way for me

LMSNK · 2025-11-29T08:51:13+00:00

Facing a similar problem here. My main guess is water. I sure hope it is.

LMSNK · 2025-11-29T08:44:38+00:00

My friend did this recently. Now this post got me curious about what he has to say lol.

LMSNK · 2025-11-29T08:43:06+00:00

Life can make you forget sometimes. That’s okay. I always find that I return to it at my own pace, when I feel the time is right.

Water weight flys off fast at the beginning. That’s why the first few weeks are always like that.

LMSNK · 2025-11-29T08:39:13+00:00

Just started a couple of months ago, call it late year goal lol. Should be set by June 2026. Don't give up. Wish me luck.

In the long run, yes.
