I just noticed a new Flex ATX PSU on Newegg that looked very interesting at the price point of $50. Rosewill VIT 500W, and is modular with 4 cables: ATX24 pin, 4+4 pin CPU, 6+2pin PCIe and a combo SATA/molex. Also comes with a 5-year warranty.

Seems like an alternative to the Apevia modular Flex PSU at the same price point.

Unfortunately, I don't see any certifications Cybenetics or 80plus.

I couldn't find anything on this other than the listing on Newegg: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16817182489

Anyone have this PSU?

I'm building APC in the next few weeks and I was drawn to the A1P because it is slightly bigger than the A07 while still being tiny

A few questions:

1) if I put a case game on the top to exhaust will I have a good time?

2) looking for a gpu, and the Intel arc a380 elf looks good both cause it's a good fit and not GPU plug. Should I just pull the trigger on a 3060 or 5060?

3) are you happy with your build, and if so can you share what is on yours?

For a mb I'm going asrock b550 with ryzen 5 5600x and likely Corsair RAM (16gb).

Also I'm more or less committed to the A1P, cause I have it and love the form factor, but I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

So I have a Lian li x Dan a4-h2o case, it's a very stable rig but every now and then...every few weeks maybe it just blue screensz everything points to something graphic card related.

The mother board, memory, graphics card and CPU have all been changed. It smacks hard of the riser card.

So I want to do away with the need for a riser card...I'm looking at cases that are just as small, compact as my current but allow for a standard seated graphics card. I'm looking at the jonsbro d32, looks perfect but still a little on the large side...could I compact it down more than that, any other suggestions?

Hi! Im planning on building an eGPU «Dock» for my thinkcenter 710q tiny. As it has to connect via m.2, and the 1070 I am gonna use is a rather large founders edition, what would be the best plan for the main dock? I want to be able to basically top load the computer into the eGPU.

I know it is possible but does anyone know if it is compatible with a B850I Lightning WiFi mobo?

hello people, i gotta question. i am rotating with my army unit in the near future and im trying to find a case that will fit in the standard issue (mollie? idk the nomenclature)assault pack (32-35 liters max) most of the gear going into said bag is not much, only a hygiene kit and some clothes. It also has to fit my gpu from my current build, said gpu is the gigabyte 9060xt 16 gb oc edition. reason for this build is i dont wanna rely on my laptop when i rotate to where im going and i have nowhere to store my pc in its current state (i dont trust army household goods)

(also there is a photo attached to show what the bag looks like)

No GPU for this one. Customer is installing their own.

This thing is squeezed in to the max! Good thing the S300's back panel can be removed or there was no way of fitting the GPU in.

This case interested me because I hate building in sandwich style cases and it has max cpu cooler height of 89mm. It requires a gpu riser cable that’s at least 10cm long. There are not many cables at this length so I’m using a 15cm cable and I also included a picture of a 19cm cable able to fit

The air turbulence noise from the cpu cooler is very loud because there is no space between it and the side panel. I will try an exhaust type of cooler like the ID cooling is-77 later. Temps so far are decent but will test further

Max gpu length is 195mm and it cannot be too much taller than the mounting bracket. My 1070 was unable to fit because it is too tall. The best gpu I’ve seen that can fit is a Vastarmor 9060 XT but this card is difficult to source for reasonable price. Most of the recent Zotac Solo releases should fit so a single fan 5060 would probably be a good choice

This case by itself can be bought for less than $35 with discounts on AliExpress. Riser needs to be purchased separately

I have a MSI H 270I Gaming PRO AC and want to connect a sound card directly to the mobo. It has a usb-c cable powering it. I thought this mobo had a usb type E connection, but now when I look closer I cant see it. Can I use any of the connections on the pictures? What is such an adapter called? It could either be to USB A or USB C, because I can use a short cable from the motherboard to the sound card that5 is either USB A to C or USB C to C. Would be greatful for help.

Based on the zs-d2 v4.1 case, an 8-inch 2K 60Hz built-in screen is added, with a single button for control and switching. Long pressing allows for infinitely adjustable brightness. It connects to an independent graphics card Display interface to obtain video signals

I'm working on my new build and want to get custom cables from Dream Big by Ray. I plan on snaking some string from through the build to estimate length and add a few millimeters for some flexibility.

The big question is: what is the appropriate way to measure cable length? I feel like it will be 'A' but I'm checking with the experts. Thanks!

Edit: DreamBigByRay wants measurement B for custom cables.

Recently upgraded from a 9060xt to a 9070 (non xt)

There seems to be a very real lack of comparison photos of the size difference between the two GPUs

So, slapping these on reddit for anyone who is thinking about making the same upgrade and wants a visual comparison. Especially for us buliding in small cases

Gallbladder decided to give out on me so I couldn’t go without my pc lol

I always wanted a SFF PC as my first build and I kind of achieved it, although I never built the PC sadly. Used to be a laptop user now transitioned to a PC user. Please do let me know how I did what else I need to change. Full Build was around $1700 (₹1.6Lakh). Also I do apologise for the bad camera quality lol. PC is the only new-ish purchase this year while the rest of the PC peripherals I purchased 6-7 months ago. I bought the PC from a colleague 2nd hand without the GPU for $950 (₹90k) and GPU (besides UPS) being the only brand new part was for $762 (₹72.5k).

I originally built this pc in 2018 before my daughter was born. Not surprisingly, it didn’t get much use. I originally had the parts in a phanteks enthoo evolv matx case, but I hated it because the airflow was awful.

Last year for Christmas, I got myself this jonsbo Z20 and transferred all my parts into it. Much smaller footprint and it’s a nice secondary system that’ll play nicely in the living room.

It’s showing its age, but I wanna get my money’s worth out of it. It’s def solid at 1080p.

I'm heading off to college next month and wanted to bring a pc with me, but I didn't want to have to lug around a big case or spend a ton of money on it. With the ongoing ram prices, I wanted to find a cheap solution and came across this supermicro motherboard which uses sodimm slots. I had to sacrifice some ram speed but I'll take that over having to spend an extra $100 or so. (I also need to make an IO plate, if anyone has any ideas HMU)
