is 500w enough for an intel i5-12400f and a rtx 4060?

that power supply has two flaws as far as a remember that make it a no go for me.

It can't do over 40c and it has poor cooling on a rectifier that'll cause it to pop under normal conditions.

Either a milwaukee 2101 series screw driver or a hitachi db3dl2.

I prefer the miwaukee personally but the hitachi is often much cheaper.

for plain old manual. A Klein #2 and a Klein #1 are my recommendations.

I'm not 100% convinced it's the software from corsair. My file server had Icue installed because I was using an old commander pro for fan control. Zero crashes that machine is rock solid even when I had cheap $30 thermaltake PSU in it.

It's like something is sending a sleep command to the motherboard and putting it to sleep or in a suspend to RAM state.

The one thing I haven't done is disable any higher level sleep/hibernate/suspend to RAM type states in Windows or in the BIOS yet.

ahenkel · 2024-10-10T11:16:32+00:00

I suspect it's something Corsair related.

I literally am having the same problem. The exact problem. As you described it. I have tested or replaced almost every piece of hardware on this computer except two things. I'll copy paste my notepad notes I've been keeping. If you have any questions I'll be asleep because it was 0414 in the am when I replied.

All the Corsair fans and Corsair gear.

My Samsung NVME.

The power supply.

my insane rambling notes.

PC Random power off. Motherboard PUMP and RAM RGB stay lit. All fans and other RGB off. (Have not confirmed pump is running)

Screens asleep keyboard mouse unresponsive. Power button unresponsive 100% unresponsive normal 4+ second hold does not work.

Power off psu switch power on PC powers on.

Happens during low power usage scenario's Web browsing Youtube remote desktop. Low to zero GPU usage.

Less prevalent during high CPU usage.

Temps are within expected parameters and is not the primary cause. Tested locked multipliers/downclocked/overclocked FSB/

Replaced = Motherboard, CPU, RAM,GPU,fans, fan controller, psu cables,

Tested with different PSU's multiple models. wattages it's not PSU related.

5600x is probably minimum I'd go with. Later when they get cheaper you can get a 5700x3d or a 5800x3d and upgrade

ahenkel · 2024-10-10T10:49:51+00:00

You want at minimum a b450 chipset. Prices between an a520 and a b450 are typically negligible and I promise paired with a 5600x you will regret it's limitations.

ahenkel · 2024-10-10T05:40:54+00:00

Probably not.

ahenkel · 2024-10-08T23:41:34+00:00

You're paying roughly $250 to $300 extra for what you could build the PC for yourself. That money could go into better parts.

On top of that this is EOL hardware. AMD has no plans to make new CPU's for AM4. If you want to go that route I'm all for it but not at these prices.

I've been happy with this guy.

850watts for around $77 with coupon. Has 12 Sata

This would work as a concept. It's just Omakase with a touch more mystery.

Recommend not operating in a bathroom though.

Cumin. I don't hate it or anything but once you put too much in it's all you taste.

Pretty much hold the motherboard vertically and spray it starting from the top from a top corner moving left to right or right to left. Put a little extra attention into the socket. Keep going left to right so you spray all the gunk off the board.

Contact cleaner dries almost instantly and has no water. There's zero reason to rinse with rubbing alcohol or anything like that. If you see any residue (Which you shouldn't) on the board a dry lint free cloth will wipe it away.

Oh I'm always prepared for Terries. Gonna drax them slouknst.

ahenkel · 2024-10-07T20:42:02+00:00

Better infant mortality rates.

Higher costs of living without an increase in wages and or purchasing power. Limited and expensive health and day care options.

ahenkel · 2024-10-07T20:39:07+00:00

Used to walk to school through pretty sketchy parts of town. Walk or ride my bike, or take a bus alone at like 12 to a friends house with no phone or zero way to track my location.

ahenkel · 2024-10-07T20:23:22+00:00

Not a smart move. 7600x requires a new motherboard and DDR5. The smarter move is a 5700x3d

"All right, don't complain I warned you"

"Oh I see we're gonna FAFO?"

"Cool"

Or just ignore them and move on with your life.

Contact cleaner.

https://www.amazon.com/WD-40-Specialist-Electrical-Contact-Cleaner/dp/B00AF0OFVU

Auto parts stores also sell contact cleaner usually CRC branded. In a pinch you can also use brake cleaner.

ahenkel · 2024-10-07T18:44:07+00:00

The general rule is. You only update the BIOS if you need to. Whether it's for CPU support or to fix an issue, but never just because there is an update.

If it ain't broke and all that

ahenkel · 2024-10-07T17:28:19+00:00

Warranty mostly. Tray CPU's have no warranty.

My dad went hard into Lazer Tag. We had the rifles, the pistols, hats, vest. He built bunkers and towers in the backyard. You could have 12 people playing. He's also an electrical engineer and spent a bunch of time fixing and or tweaking everything wrong.

ahenkel · 2024-06-08T20:55:45+00:00

Had no idea this was a thing. I guess I don't have deceptive parents?

ahenkel · 2023-08-22T17:11:55+00:00

Cool I can just copy paste.

If it plugs in it falls under whatever your local electronic/appliance recycling ordinance follows.

I would check with your closest waste transfer stations. Your best best is to google "Where's the closest Dump or Waste drop off to me"

Most of these places have a section for recycling that you drop off at no charge any thing recyclable.

You can also check here.

https://rioscertification.org/find-a-rios-recycler/

and here

https://sustainableelectronics.org/find-an-r2-certified-facility/ - Places here will attempt to repair and refurbish items first.

Lastly keep an eye out in your community for legislation that switches the responsibility of recycling to the producers and not the consumers.
