psu

Hey, After years of thinking about doing a Mac Pro PC build, I had finally got my hands on a first gen Mac Pro case, and after watching hours of case mods being done- browsing Tonymac, Google Photos & Youtube I just can't figure out what to do with my PSU. Modern PSU all have their intake fan...

I recently bought an Asus Prime Z490-a mb and an i7-10700K cpu, 32mb of Crucial Ballistics ram. I intend on getting an RX 5700 XT gpu when the prices are a bit more rational (ideally Sapphire, but maybe MSI or Gigabyte). If prices remain high for a while I may opt for a 5600/5500/580... time...

I'm working on my first Powermac G5 hackintosh project and I'm trying to figure out how can I install a silent PSU in the least invasive way (not cutting [too much?] the top tray or using the native psu case). I'm planning on using an Asus ROG MAXIMUS XI HERO with an M.2 SSD and a Radeon VII...

Afternoon! I'm currently making my first PC build and decided to make it a hackintosh. I've been following the buyer's guide almost directly but i'm running into some trouble with the PSU as the: Corsair CX-M 550 Watt PSU is sold out/back ordered at most places. Does anyone have a good...

My current setup: 500W power supply Intel i7 6700K MSI Z170A GAMING M5 motherboard Asus ROG GTX1060 6GB Strix I'm currently running macOs High Sierra because of the web driver issue. I'd like to update to a newer (i.e the latest) macOS version and want to buy a new AMD graphics card for that. I...

Hey guys, my 980Ti died a couple weeks ago and so I got a Sapphire Radeon VII as a replacement. The card works perfectly under Windows (one random crash so far). I've reinstalled the macOS-partition, did a clean install, and went for the latest 10.14.5 beta 3 to get Radeon VII support. For some...

Hello guys, This is my first Hackintosh build. I own macs since 2012, currently working on a MBP Late 2016 and a MBP Late 2017 (at work). I'll sell the 2016 and build the following system: Motherboard: GIGABYTE AORUS Z390 MASTER Processor: Intel Coffee Lake, Core i9 9900K CPU cooler: Corsair...

Hi guys, Does anyone have experience with a fanless psu in their Mac Pro Build? I've been trying to find a good answer to this question, but can't find one. I want to place the PSU in the original spot and maybe rewire the socket to fit the socket of the case, or use some kind of adapter. I...

Hi guys, My PSU recently starting making a loud buzzing noise, and apparently this is common with Corsair - however all of the suggested PSU's on this site are of course manufactured by Corsair. I'd understandably now like to stay away from Corsair, and won't go anywhere near any of their...

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...

I had to change things up a bit so making a new thread (Previous one was about the PSU mod and after some input and research I think I'm going to put an ATX PSU inside G5 PSU case rather than reuse G5 PSU) So, going to put an i7-7700K (need advice on cooling. Want to go liquid but need to...

So I was given an old G5 and I really like the case. So wanted to build a Hackintosh on a budget: i5-6500 3.2ghz Asus Z170-K No graphics card (Don't really do any gaming or heavy video/image editing) - only need to connect 2 to 3 monitors. Some SSDs and DVD-RW (so the DVD caddy is functional)...

Hi guys, Apologies if I'm being a newb, it's my first build. I'm looking to put together a CustoMac Mini Deluxe, based off the suggested parts list from March/April. My question is this: Do I need to get a 550w PSU? When I threw all the parts into a couple of sites, its expected that I'll...

Hello, below is my current build... how much power do I need to run this stuff? I don't want too little, but I also don't want too much overkill as well... cpu: Intel Core i7 6700K 4.00 GHz Unlocked Quad Core Skylake Desktop Processor, Socket LGA 1151...

I've done some searching, but all I find are ways of adapting other things to provide PCI-e power to graphics cards when the PSI doesn't have dedicated lines for this. I'm building a Hackintosh that won't need any graphics card because it's doing my home automation, iTunes, Plex and file...

Hi there, Just like I stated in my previous post, I am just following the build stuff for customac pro. I am not a hardware guy so I don't know the significance of PSU especially in that build. In the list only one PSU is listed which is the Corsair 650x. I am thinking the higher voltage is just...

The paper clip test does not involve cutting anything : http://support.antec.com/support/solutions/articles/1000015319-is-my-power-supply-dead-the-paperclip-test

Hi Guys, maybe very silly question, but I googled and can't find the answer. I have a RM1000 PSU and a Blu ray optical drive. I need to provide power to the optical drive. It has a Sata power connector to molex provided. However I want to use the shortest cable possible. Could I use a cable...

I am planing on using a i5 4690K with an over clock, and a GTX 970. Could I use a 500w PSU or do I need more? Thank you for the advice.
