Bro... It says right on the PSU: "Designed for Use With Genuine Corsair Type 4 Cable Sets Only". ...

Did you use a Microsoft account? Also, if it fails to activate you can call ms and they will probably help you activate it.

Their figures show very low noise and ripple. Why dont you like them? overpriced? When I first opened the Be Quiet box, I was like, 'this 1000w...

Perhaps mine was just a bad experience with small GPU fans, but it drove me to fan-less GPU cards.

GPU fans last longer than most case fans as ball bearing fans or sealed fluid bearings are far more common while most case fans are still plain old...

That is why I like soft failure. If my brakes start making funny noises at 50,000 mi rather than simply failing at 100,000 mi, I'd prefer the...

Crappy SSDs aren't always more reliable than good mechanical drives, however. My Kingston a400 SSD died before its first birthday and had to go...

Because of this you don't need to do that. be quiet! doesn't use y-cables for the PEG connectors in your PSU. So can you try it in a different way?...

Last HP gaming PC i had came witha G4560 and 1050ti. Was ATX PSU, but a pretty bad PSU when i tore it apart, and the motherboard was proprietary...

well, I mentioned in one of my first posts: It all depends on what you intend the computer to do. This forum spends a great deal of time telling...

And as I said, ASUS isn't just using a foxxconn board, or at least they weren't. It is an ASUS manufactured motherboard from what I understand,...

Friend has a HP with a Ryzen 5 2400g. The PSU is 180w and completely proprietary in every way shape or form. At least every proprietary dell I have...

To stay on topic I will give you some examples. IBM used to make some of the best PC. Their Laptops were well ahead of Apple for many many years....

Well, I agree. But it does go to the core issue, self control or external control. Self builds give you a sense of control, thinking you can do...

Well, I went with the Be Quiet straight power 1000. It seemed to work well. at first. In the beginning the system was overclocked and stability...

You also need a motherboard that lets the CPU take much more power for a longer time. Yeah it's better

I hate how this turned from "What's the best prebuilt" to political rants so fast.

Yes I've also red that both non K processors, i7-9700 and i9-9900 can boost clocks if cooling is good enough and draw much more power. What about...

Power is cheaper here in USA where I'm at. Just looked at a power bill. $0.06 per kilowatt hour here. If it draws 100w, that's $0.006 an hour. ...

I Have not seen any major accomplishments from the entire Gates foundation. A great deal of talk... Good intentions are not results. "You sound...

I do, if you gonna use a reference or other non overclocked model and a motherboard that doesn't overclock the CPU. Because even a i9 9900 can be...

P.S. I did say with delivery to Germany also, but I would have to wait much longer to get it.

Don't you pay a lot for the energy of this build? Here it's almost 2 euro for 1W 24/7/365. I wouldn't be surprised if this thing does 100W in idle.
