power supply

EVGA couldn't offer warranties this long and stay in business if these failed frequently. So you know these are well built. If it lasts for 10 years and fails at 10 years and a day, your cost is still only $5.50 per year. You really can't lose with one of these. There are many cheap 30 to 40...

Hey Everyone, just wondering... the buyer's guide only recommends corsair power supplies, while I could've maybe saved a few bucks going with EVGA or another brand, I went with the Corsair CS series 650w since that series was recommended on this site. Would say an EVGA bronze (50-60$ cheaper)...

I need a better PSU for a Gigabyte GTX 1060 Mini 6GB. I currently have the AL-8360BTX 350W. My current PSU doesn't have a 6-pin connector, and is not powerful enough to run the card anyway. I am looking for a 600W PSU (or is that overkill?) that is around the same size as the original ( 5.5" x...
