Yes, it can happen if you buy second-hand. You may not get all the cables provided by default.

Doesn't make modular PSUs a scam in any way. You need to read descriptions carefully/ask seller...

And it gets worse:

Scalpers, miners, staying at home covid related, technical issues with production... And I'm actually sure nVidia/AMD implement some artificial scarcity to reduce supply even further...

Perfect...

Provided bias is the same/similar %-wise between two. But we don't know that.

Also it doesn't look very quiet at all, looking at fan RPMs.

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

It states it measures values in dB(A), not plain dB. Former is weighted to account for above.

Well for HDD you should have LED on the case.

And some just run SSDs :p

It's neat technologically, but I don't see much of a benefit for end user beyond what standard SR implementation already did.

I don't mind more companies doing that ofc.

Coil whine is NOT the sign of cheaping out lmao.

All 3 are fine.

Impossible to tell with that few details. This is actually very nuanced and depends on further assumptions.

Say, if you take two bottom of the barrel, old designs (half bridge, no APFC, <80%...

X-650 was ridiculously over-engineered IIRC, tbh I'd keep using it until it shows signs of failure.

It's garbage tbh.

Capacitor lifetime is not purely dependent on its brand, also depends on conditions it operates in, what temperatures it gets to, what airflow it gets, what kinds of...

Seasonic isn't really that much better.

In some cases it isn't any better at all. Maybe it does seem otherwise up in slightly tighter vreg/ripple suppression in tests, but none of it will matter...

It also creates a potential for good amount of complaints/RMAs if users don't know what they're doing, tune it down to minimum and have it trip. Especially now with RTX 3xxx and issues related to...

GTX 1050Ti is about in the ballpark of minimum requirements (RTX off of course).

Depending on your location, prices could be ridiculous though, try to see what is there in second hand market.

TL;DW No.

Tbh very few PSUs from 2010 are even decent at this point. That Tagan, regardless of model, is VERY unlikely to be an exception.

"still running" =/= good. Ripple levels? Capacitor state?

And...

More like you meant Fury X?

Well either way those cards are not very relevant in a market today.

And arguably never were...

Okay, it is nVidia thing then.

Dunno what you are talking about, I just updated to FF84 and forum looks fine?

Mag amps are regulator circuits to derive minor rails (basically different way of doing what VRM modules do in so called DC-DC secondary ATX PSUs).
In double mag-amp there are 2 because you have 5V...

Double mag-amp can be group or indy depending on whether rails share a choke. So it is actually both.

Ok, let's wait for more development on Radeons then.

Because if it's not the case with them, then it's more of an nVidia/AIB issue than PSU issue at that point.
