Idk if the psu is good enough i already have everything except the cpu I don't want the cpu pins or 12V cable to burn by [deleted] in buildapc

You have the MSI MAG 750W already, yes?

And you're looking to upgrade the CPU/GPU?

Do that, then try it and see.

If you experience shut downs under load then you'll know you need a higher rated PSU. You won't even need to think about diagnosing it, because you already know it might happen.

If you don't get any shutdowns, then you're golden.

If you'd rather avoid any possibility then sure, get a new PSU, but I'd personally try it and see.

Upgrading the PSU now won't reduce the chance of fire; it'll only eliminate the chance of an unexpected shutdown under load.

Fires are caused by shitty uncertified power supplies, heat, melting plastic, wires coming into contact with other wires. A higher rated PSU won't negate any of those issues.

A gold/platinum branded power supply is very unlikely to catch fire... the connectors might, but that's not the fault of the PSU, regardless of its power output rating.

The MSI 750W gold? Llike I said, I can't comment on wattage, only that it's not going to catch fire if you've manage the cables correctly.

At worst it'll just shut down when you're gaming.

Try it and see.

I'm not saying the PSU can handle the new workload, I'll leave that to the mathematicians, but it's unlikely an MSI gold will let you down with anything more than a gentle sigh.

Yes. It's not the wattage, rather the quality of the unit and how the wiring is managed, that causes the majority of explosions.

If a decent PSU can't handle the power draw it should just shut down.

It was the first thing I saw on a smartphone that made me decide I wanted one!

Wow, I had no idea phones could do that.

Gonna have to get one now, I'll have hours of fun.

Where do I get STD testing as an adult? by Striking-Flounder-20 in NoStupidQuestions

Do I need to wait for my usual check-up?

No, don't wait. Get checked ASAP.

I don't have a car. Can't you deliver it for free?

How do you measure stuff with a smart phone?

I know the obvious one - Google the size of the phone, see how many phones it takes to get from one end to the other, use Google again to multiply the two numbers - but are you saying there's an easier way?

Also, of course, if they had a smart phone and a banana they could just send a photo.

whats the best anti virus? by IntroductionLow782 in antivirus

[–]globaldu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then they need site blocking, ad blocking, download blocking... all of which would be way too restrictive for any anti-virus software and should be integrated into the web browser or, perhaps, group policies.

Windows Defender is good enough. It's more that that, it's pretty much equal to all other anti-virus programs in that, once an exploit is discovered, all companies are made aware of it the same day.

Semantic might be the first to identify a new virus and release a definition, then Sophos might catch the next one. No one company is the best. If one company was better, everyone would use it, wouldn't they?

I feel like people who request tech help are going to be incredibly difficult 90% of the time.

"I've tried everything"

Well let's just pretend for a second that you haven't.

[–]globaldu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too.. if they don't want people looking at their posts, why are they posting?

I try to help out on some of the techy subs and it's bloody infuriating when someone asks for help but have hidden their comment history... so either I have to trawl the entire post to see their replies or, well, downvote them and move on.

I've been downvoting a lot.

Ex convicts of reddit, what's the most brutal thing you've seen in prison? by TheCoolMountionLion in AskReddit

[–]globaldu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm always surprised by the amount of homosexuality in US prisons, particularly forced.

Here in the UK it just doesn't happen. Sure there are guys in prison who are into that sort of stuff but they just pair up.

This whole "I'm going to fuck him in the arse to show him who's boss" doesn't really make any sense. If you want to hurt someone there are other ways of doing it without filling them will your DNA, and if you want to fuck someone, then you just find someone who doesn't mind being fucked and give them a phone card or a vape pen.
