jonny san... please help me with https://www.gigabyte.com/bd/Power-Supply/GP-AP750GM#kf dattebayo.... onegai...

Thanks Jonny, yes I know this and it is kind of what I tried to say without having your technical expertise. Well I will have to spend a little more...

That is why it is relative Lets just say the bias is one star down for the sake of argument, then a 2 star supply is still worse than a 3 star...

It isn't about the wattage, quality is much more important way to compare products. Because this is a really low quality product, it's only useful...

Well speak what you want, but this is the pricing situation that we have here. Take a look at the non-modular 550W version, $54, much cheaper than...

If the CX550 costs the same it's way to expensive. This is a low quality PSU based on a double forward design with DC-DC. A low quality PSU like this...

But how do you make "relative sense" when review data sample already suffers from selection bias?

Recuva is a very good option, especially it is convenient with its very simple interface.

No. Two group regulated PSUs from the same OEM are going to have a similar layout. But you're not taking into account ANY of the components...

That's the LED mechanism itself...it does not do well with excess heat/high temperature. The wattage (total heat generated, not the temperature of...

Some LED headlights generate so much heat they require active cooling. That's probably still less than the inferno of a typical halogen though. I...

Thanks for the detailed info! funny enough I turned the computer off trying to peek the fan model and could perfectly see it, then upon research...

Yep. It's the N1 that doesn't have a HS on the BR.

Not that it really makes a difference, but looks like a heatsink on the bridge to me; or is that something else?

W1 series. Ancient group regulated design that won't handle spikes from modern GPUs. Cheap sleeve bearing fan. Cheap caps. Short warranty.

Ok guys I got it, the PSU is bad, but could you share a bit more? Why is it? Lack certifications? Do you know this project based on another...

Which leads to another question... what if I freeze an electrolytic capacitor; I'm not interested in its functioning, but its survival. For example,...

Yeah, the unintended consequences of energy efficiency can be annoying. It used to be that driving with your head lights on worked in a blizzard....

I imagined the electrolyte would slow in response, and didn't know that about the MOSFETS; but since most electrolytic capacitors are good to -40°, I...

exactly

Sorry. I wouldn't use this thing to power a desk fan.

So, when I do our 0°C tests, I do find my ripple gets higher, voltage regulation gets worse, etc. So I can only imagine that below 0°C it gets even...

But the reviews would still be useful in a relative sense.

Bad idea, it isn't a good PSU. And certainly not a PSU you should use for a high-end game PC.

I used a local account but it does remember the key when installing windows. I was wondering if you update the BIOS does it delete your key. I...

Not at all, this is all very educational.
