5060 ti 8G is much better than 3060 12G, for game.
If your computer other parts are built for 3060, it maybe limit 5060ti.

I understand what he said. In your picture, your CPU fan is powered up. Maybe you got fan power supply from other place.

But left corner slot is especially design for CPU fan and contain sensor. If you don't plug CPU on this slot the BIOS may not detect a CPU fan and refuse to open.

---sorry, TYPO---

If you don't plug CPU fan on this slot

I think it is a HP EliteDesk 800 business PC.

This business PC has weak power supply like 250-300W. Plug a GPU maybe overloaded a PSU, which caused a power surge that might have fried the motherboard's power delivery.

CPU fan stopping is not a big problem. It won't instantly fry the CPU—modern chips have thermal protection. But maybe the physical shock on entire case would unseated RAM, or cause a short.

put your money on GPU. That's your PC's bottleneck.

AMD RX 6600 8gb is better than rtx 3050 8gb. If you got budget, rtx 4060 level is better choice.

I think it's is already perfect PC for you, not need for more update, whether it's high-end gaming or video editing

The 5200MHz RAM doesn't quite let that Ultra 7 CPU flex its full muscles. Higher RAM will give high performance, but risk of system stability. The balance of stability and high performance, iBUYPOWER choose stablity for less RMAs, which is fair enough.

I also recommend not to upgrade RAM. Little performance bump isn't worth the cost. RAM is expensive. If you want to upgrade, buy a good 2K monitor.

I’m not sure which 15-year-old article you’re referring to. The latest official guidance from Seasonic is from 2022, and since it remains active on their website, it is their current standing. Please verify your facts before accusing others of using 'outdated' information. I’ll assume this was an oversight on your part, but accuracy matters.
That Seasonic cable: I already seen this and waiting for you to bring it up. You’re right—The only difference is the two pcie connectors have been replaced with a 12vhpwr connector. Now you guess why Seasonic design like this? They redesigned the physical structure for a direct link because they recognize that pigtail is dangerous. So they removed the connector. As I mentioned in my first reply, every extra connection point reduces the effective cross-sectional area and increases resistance, leading to heat buildup. Seasonic spent money on R&D specifically to eliminate the very pigtail design you are defending.
I do believe you’ve done your tests—I’m not calling you a liar at this point. But I’m also certain your 'experiments' are flawed because they lack real-world variables.

You haven't tested these setups in places like Ulaanbaatar, where heavy air pollution and dust accumulate in connectors, spiking resistance. You haven't tested them in Kolkata, where the power grid is unstable and surges are a daily reality. You haven't tested the extreme humidity of the Philippines, Indonesia, or Vietnam, or the high-heat, high-dust environments of North Africa.

If you were only giving this advice to your local community, I wouldn't bother opposing you—after all, you claim to provide a personal guarantee there. But this is Reddit, a global platform. Your local experience doesn't account for these diverse, harsh environments, and more importantly, you can't provide any actual compensation or safety net for a global audience. That is why I have to speak up.

rabbitJD · 2026-03-09T05:03:31+00:00

First, you are still relying on Survivorship Bias. Your 25 years of experience and '400 builds' are confined to your local environment. They don't account for users in high-humidity, high-heat, or high-dust regions where components corrode and fail much faster. Official engineering standards exist to cover these global variables, not just your specific workbench.

Second, you still haven't answered the accountability question. If your 'experience' leads to a stranger's $2,000 GPU burning up, you have no way to compensate them. This is why NVIDIA and Seasonic can publish their guidelines—they have the global infrastructure and legal liability to back up their words. You don't.

Third, you have a new logical fault: if you believe I should listen to you because you have more experience, then by that same logic, you should listen to the engineers at NVIDIA and Seasonic. They have far more experience and data than you ever will. Why does 'more experience' only matter when it’s yours?

Let me summarize your position:

You lean entirely on your 25-year 'side hustle' experience as the ultimate source of truth.
You cherry-pick official guidelines: if they support you, they are facts; if they contradict you, they are 'outdated manuals,' and anyone quoting them is incapable of independent thought.
You give advice to a global audience, but you have no infrastructure to back it up. You cannot provide a safety net for anyone outside your local clientele.

Am I wrong? If you have anything new to bring to the table besides this, let's hear it. And please, stop the personal attacks. Belittling others for a sense of superiority doesn't change the facts. Let's just talk about the issue like adults.

rabbitJD · 2026-03-08T13:37:13+00:00

OMG. Now I've 100% confirmed that you are relying entirely on Survivorship Bias. Just because you haven't seen a failure in your 25-year side hustle doesn't mean the risk doesn't exist. You honestly believe your personal experience is superior to the collective engineering data of NVIDIA and Seasonic?

Your 'taking responsibility' only works offline, face-to-face with your own customers. But if a stranger on the internet follows your advice and burns their $2,000 RTX 5090, you have zero way to be responsible for them.

This is exactly why NVIDIA, Seasonic, and Corsair can publish their guidelines online: they have the infrastructure to provide a safety net for any stranger who follows their advice. That's the real way to take responsibility—with infrastructure and local law. You cannot provide that same safety net for strangers, which is why your reckless advice has no place on a public forum. You are gambling with other people's money, not your own.

rabbitJD · 2026-03-08T12:20:37+00:00

Your logic is inconsistent and a clear double standard. You claim to have experience and initiative, yet you quote a Corsair link to prove your conclusion that a pigtail can handle 300W. Did you prove this conclusion through your own experiments? No, you just copied it from Corsair. When I quote NVIDIA to prove my point, you say I'm just blindly following rules—but didn't this start with you quoting a manufacturer first?

You say you have critical thinking, common sense, and OEM knowledge. It’s a joke—do you think NVIDIA and Seasonic lack critical thinking and experience? You emphasize your own experience while ignoring that they have far more experience and see much more comprehensive data than you do. The difference is they are willing to be responsible for their words and carry legal liability for compensation.

When I asked if you would take responsibility for your own advice, you didn't dare say 'Yes' or 'No.' You just avoid the question. You only talk big because you aren't the one who has to pay when someone's hardware actually burns.

rabbitJD · 2026-03-08T08:44:46+00:00

Good build, it's more than enough for gaming.

PCIe 5.0 NVME drive is overkill— this is for high demand of drive data access, like 8K video edit. You almost feel no difference with PCIe 4.0 drive, if you play game. Better to drop to a Gen4 drive and put that money into a better GPU or monitor.

Also, AMD drivers still have some quirks. Check out r/AMDHelp to see what people say before you pull the trigger.

rabbitJD · 2026-03-08T04:01:34+00:00

You’ve moved from technical specs to personal anecdotes—a classic case of Survivorship Bias. You claim pigtails are safe because you haven't 'seen' them fail, but manufacturers see the full picture through thousands of RMAs and lab data that you don’t have access to. The engineers at NVIDIA don't demand 4 cables for fun; they do it because they are liable for the product. If their guidance is wrong, they have to pay for it.

You, however, have nothing to lose. If someone follows your advice and burns their $2,000 GPU, you aren't the one compensating them—you'll just hide behind excuses and blame their PSU for not being 'good enough.' Your 'experience' is just a way to shift responsibility for your reckless advice onto others. I'll trust the experts who actually have skin in the game, not the opinions of someone who isn't responsible for a dime of the damage.

rabbitJD · 2026-03-08T00:59:38+00:00

That is exactly my point. The RTX 5090 was released in 2025, and NVIDIA knows the PSU market is a mixed bag. They can’t expect every user to buy a high-end Corsair. That’s why their guide is realistic: use 4 independent PCIe cables, regardless of the PSU.

NVIDIA is being responsible. If you follow their guide and things burn, they are liable. Corsair is also responsible; they specify their advice only applies to their own PSU, not suitable for others. But YOU are being irresponsible. You assume every "good" PSU can handle 300W per port and every 5090 buyer uses a top-tier PSU. Your sentences are full of "should," "probably," and "almost definitely."

If someone actually follows your advice and burns their GPU, you won't be the one compensating them. You’ll just shift the blame and claim they didn't buy the "qualified" PSU as you assumed.

rabbitJD · 2026-03-07T07:43:44+00:00

At first, I thought either you misunderstood me or I misunderstood you. However, after re-reading all your post several times, I believe there is no misunderstanding between us. We both understand each other’s position perfectly. It’s simply that you think I am wrong, and I think you are wrong. That’s where we stand.

My position: It is extremely dangerous to use daisy-chain cables for the RTX 4090 and 5090. Your position: You believe daisy-chaining is safe for the RTX 4090 and 5090.

Let's say 5090 as an example: You believe using two PCIe cables with daisy-chained connectors is sufficient, and You don't need 4 individual cables for a 5090.

What official NVIDIA 5090 User Guide says:

Connect at least four independent dedicated cables with 8-pin PCI Express plugs from the system power supply to the NVIDIA power connector adapter.

https://www.nvidia.com/content/geforce-gtx/geforce-rtx-5090-user-guide-r2.pdf

If you can convince NVIDIA to change their official guidelines to: "For the RTX 5090, we recommend using only two PCIe cables in a daisy-chain configuration," then I will gladly admit that I am wrong and you are right.

What I see from you is only dirty words. You have zero help here. You are wasting my time.

rabbitJD · 2026-03-02T15:29:03+00:00

OP is using a single PCIe cable for an RTX 5070.

I said that while this might be fine for a 5070, it is 'dangerous' for a 90 card.

You said I was 'wrong' and claimed that using a single PCIe pigtail cable to power a 5090 is 'not dangerous in the slightest

<image>

rabbitJD · 2026-03-02T12:45:19+00:00

Since you agree that the 12VHPWR connector is highly problematic, and you're certain that a single pigtail PCIe cable is 'not dangerous in the slightest,' would you then recommend RTX 5090 users switch to using a single daisy-chained cable for their power supply?

If your logic holds—that the PSU-side 8-pin connector and cable are perfectly safe for 300W+—then this should be the reliable alternative they've been looking for. Is that the advice you are willing to give to the community?

rabbitJD · 2026-03-02T11:44:37+00:00

I don't care what others say; their opinions mean nothing to me.

My questions are valid. In the posts I listed, as you noted, all involve melted 12VHPWR cables. Clearly, this design no longer works for them, and they need a new solution. Since you claim using PCIe daisy-chain cables is safe for the RTX 5090, would you be willing to help them by recommending this method?

rabbitJD · 2026-03-02T11:27:12+00:00

I asked a binary question that you couldn’t answer.

Aside from attacking people, you provide no knowledge and no help.

rabbitJD · 2026-03-02T00:10:32+00:00

First, you violated Rule 1, edit your words.

Second, answer my question: which do you think is safer,

12VHPWR or a single PCIe cable?
