RE: New computer - Bridge - 11-24-2012 (11-23-2012, 09:42 PM)Your Computer Wrote:I did not know that actually; thanks for the info. Also, although most modern motherboards do have protection against power failure I imagine that's more geared towards power loss than power overload, then again what do I know?(11-22-2012, 10:15 PM)Bridge Wrote: Whatever you do, never cheap out on a power supply. If it overloads it is capable of irreparably damaging pretty much all of your system's components. 500 is the minimum for a modern gaming computer, 750 is OK (what I have), 850 is more than enough and 1000 and above is for overclockers and rich people. RE: New computer - failedALIAS - 11-24-2012 loltechnology RE: New computer - Acies - 11-24-2012 All I assume to know about power systems is that you should have a maximum average useage of 60%, in order to assure its longevity. That might be total bull though :] RE: New computer - FlawlessHappiness - 11-24-2012 Ok. I'm thinking about building my own. Mostly i just want something that works better than my laptop... It's not that good again, so it shouldn't be hard But it sounds like i could get a good computer from building it myself |
