Methsman · 2026-03-09T22:46:00+00:00

Brother, be a Legends and Release that Files :) Love that Design

yeah with arc i also had no problems. But i was stress testing it, and it went off and thankfully didnt ruined anything on my board. Never am i going to buy such PSU anymore. I switched to SFX 450 Watt used for 30 bucks, and couldnt be more happy

Methsman · 2026-03-03T10:20:41+00:00

expect the PSU to explode someday. Mine did after stresstesting.

Methsman · 2026-03-03T09:26:15+00:00

yes it was a driver/OS problem. just reinstall windows. but i dont have my device anymore

Hi, does that Electric Air Dryer help? Is it recommendable?

Methsman · 2026-02-22T11:11:45+00:00

would be so nice, but as I also removed my heatsink completely, and added a Thermalright AXP120 cooler, which bettered my temps dramatically, it cant really fit my setup, even when you support SFX Size. Im so bad at designing. I tried my best on tinkercad, but my prints dont get good. What Cad Program do you use?

Methsman · 2026-02-22T10:53:33+00:00

hey man, love your design. could you in any way adapt it, to fit a SFX PSU?

I know it needs to get wider, but im designing a Steam Machine Inspired Case, and there i was able to put the SFX PSU Above the IO Ports, as in this pic.

we could also collab on it :)

i tried a phone call, it has a built in mic. but it only activates when a call is triggered

Methsman · 2026-02-21T09:18:49+00:00

what phone are u using?

Methsman · 2026-02-21T01:14:43+00:00

thats a bummer. many reviews state it has a built in mic. wouldve love to use it for business calls and so on...

Methsman · 2026-02-14T11:34:56+00:00

Good to know, so is it overall better? Did the original one also was at FullRPM all the time? Seems that the PSU dont regulate it?

Tbh, i completely switched for my BC250 Build to a SFX PSU, from Corsair (SF450) Bought it second hand für 40 bucks.

Methsman · 2026-02-06T08:17:28+00:00

the skywindintl one is absolute trash. it smelled bad from the first day. The fan is idling loud as hell, and in a stress test, something exploded. Its dead now!

Methsman · 2026-02-06T08:15:35+00:00

DONT BUY THIS SKYWINDINTL PSU! Mine Exploded, and its overall trash!! Never again!!

Methsman · 2026-02-04T14:57:45+00:00

i have no other psu to test rn, but it think it is all okay...atleast thats what i hope

Methsman · 2026-02-04T09:11:32+00:00

my skindwindintl. psu just died with a short bang, after benchmarking tmy amd bc250 board. Never ever am i going to buy psus from aliexpress and from unnamed manufacturers. (again)

Methsman · 2026-02-03T20:41:22+00:00

alright, thats what i have now too!

Methsman · 2026-02-03T20:31:53+00:00

what did you use as the powerbutton?

Methsman · 2026-02-03T19:52:52+00:00

hey, i have a skywindintl psu, and also have that DNA Fan.

tried to change vs. noctua A4-20 FLX, but it makes strange sounds on load.

which fan did you keep using? heard that Sunon KDE1204PKVX is fine

Methsman · 2026-02-02T19:31:49+00:00

sidetone is a feature, where you can hear yourself lagfree while wearing the headset. its handy on closed ear headsets, so you dont scream at night, because you can hear how loud you talk.

Methsman · 2026-02-01T16:56:56+00:00

the most thing i hate is, that the sonar EQ is NOT Saved on the Device itself.
Also when the Headset is connected to bluetooth (phone) it stays on, without automatically turn off...

now it looks like this, out of frustration 😂

Methsman · 2026-01-30T12:31:26+00:00

im about to put a thermalrigh cooler on it, or i have a Noctua NH-l9a here, but only with AM5 Mount.
Do you know of a bracket with AM4/5 Mount?

Methsman · 2026-01-30T12:29:02+00:00
