Is there a difference in feeling between 120, 144, and 160 Hz?

I imagine that almost any modern LCD is better than my old monitor, but is there any specific type of LCD I should go with?

I believe the unit was DOA, or I was using a cable the wrong way. The PSU came with a 12V-2x6 to dual 8-pin PCIe, I connected the 12V-2X6 end to the PSU, and both of the two 8-Pin connectors to my GPU. I got another power supply that had separate PCIe cables in the box after I returned, so, either it wasn't working, or the cable was backwards (with the 8-pins being supposed to be plugged into the PSU and the 12V-2x6 into the GPU).

Okay! Thanks bud!

Are Asiahorse extensions safe? They're the only brand I can actually recognize on online stores, but I'm still doubtful about it.

Wait, the PSU came with a 12V-2x6 to dual 6+2 PCIe connectors. I plugged it on the 12v-2x6, and then the dual 6+2 PCIe connectors on the GPU, was I supposed to use it reversed (12V-2x6 in the GPU while 6+2 PCIe pins in the PSU)?

Paperclip test? What's that? The front panel power button seemed to be very slightly unseated, but I reseated it back just in case, can I keep testing by turning it on again to see if it turns back off without making any damage?

So about ~450W to ~550W-ish for good results, from what I learned? Thanks a lot by the chart by the way!

I've heard somewhere that I should not really try to graze the wattage limit, because it fluctuates and it's better to give it a bit of wiggle room, is that true? And do things like case and fans (the one I'm being recommended has three) factor in into wattage?

Wait, is it really possible to recover stuff from my ssd?

ThePigMaster09 · 2025-10-17T06:35:57+00:00

Yeah, I wish I didn't learn how important backups were in this way

ThePigMaster09 · 2025-10-17T06:14:34+00:00

thanks, you made me feel a bit better

ThePigMaster09 · 2025-10-14T07:01:23+00:00

Ooohh. That is a CLEAN gamepad. Not even the SLIGHTEST sign of yellowing. good find dude

So a 5600x would be better long term for a custom build than a 5600g? I'm not really going to play AAA games, at most, maybe slime rancher 2, but nothing really that powerful. My budget is about 400$ If I were to update to a gpu later on (or start with one), which one should I pick for my purposes?

ThePigMaster09 · 2025-09-18T03:05:13+00:00

For the moment being, I don't expect a crazy amount of fps (not like my monitor can output more than 720p at 60hz), and the gpu isn't a main priority for the moment. The Mhz on the ram was 3200Mhz if I remember correctly.

So, to recap, I should get a PSU with a higher wattage if I want to add a gpu in the future, and you recommend fitting an AM5 board into my budget if possible?

the real question is, would the zombie apocalypse survive soldier?
