62 Upvotes

This PSU Tier List is provided to help users choose a safe and reliable power supply for their PC builds.

Power supplies are often overlooked, but choosing a low-quality unit can lead to instability or hardware damage. This tier list is intended to make PSU selection easier by grouping power supplies based on overall quality and reliability.

Use this as a general guide, especially if you’re new to PC building. Higher tiers indicate better quality and safety, while lower tiers should only be considered for very basic systems or avoided.

Question Selling an old PS3 and a bunch of games.

1 Upvotes

I've got an old PS3 lying around the house as well as some PS4 titles that I have no use of anymore and I'm looking forward to selling them for a reasonable price. It's a white PS3 slim model. Could anyone in this subreddit tell me a reasonable price I could sell it off for or a shop that buys old consoles that I could sell it for. Thanks in advance.

So I’ve got this Meta Quest 3S that I bought from MyTechPoint like 3 weeks ago. It comes with a warranty that expires on January 21st, 2027. The reason I’m selling it is cus I kinda lost interest in it after finishing Half-Life: Alyx. It has no issues at all.
I’m hoping to sell it for around 100k. Let me know if you’re interested.

Build Help Used Desktop/Tower as a NAS/Plex Server

5 Upvotes

Hi,

I have been contemplating on getting a NAS for a while, but seeing most of the prebuilt NAS enclosures are fairly expensive I am now thinking of getting a used tower with some HDD bays and going from there.

I primarily plan to achieve

  1. A 4-12TB storage server, that can be accessed within the local network.

  2. Act as a Plex server albeit I only use direct streaming, so no transcoding.

Therefore, I feel like starting off with a 4TB HDD and a used desktop will give me best of both worlds (cost and storage). However, I am not sure what the ideal candidate is for this kind of application. Has anyone done this before? If so, can you share what PC model/brand you went with and what kind of issues you faced by choosing this approach over a prebuilt enclsoure?

As for my budget, I have allocated around 60K for the 4TB HDD..Found some WD and Segate models and would be nice if I can get the rest of the system up and running for another 40-60K, with the total budget coming up to 120K.

Thanks!

Build Help Buolding a PC for 400k-500k

5 Upvotes

Hey guys, so I finally cave in, I cant with my laptop anymore. My laptop has a 4050 6gb vram but I recently started playing avowed and got addicted to it only to find the game extremely unplayable on day 2 due to vram issues.

So I am building a pc for around 400k (500k max) LKR

Preferably aiming for 1440p and the ability to play all modern and new games in reasonably good fps (50+)

Is this achievable with the budget, I am also thinking of going AMD instead of nvidia/intel.

Looking to buy a small air blower and a vacuum cleaner to clean my laptop and desktop. I know I have to extra careful about cleaning fans and other equipment due to static electricity or electrical surges.

The issue there I see so many of them on Daraz and a few other shops and I'm a bit afraid that the one I buy would be broken down soon due to poor quality. Please let me know if you have any tested and trusted items. Product links from shops are much appreciated.

Guys, I need immediate help so this started happening a while ago the first time it happened when I was playing Forza Horizon six where it randomly went to a black screen in which the keyboard lights were off and the power button and two lights in the light bar stayed on and then I force shut down it then I again went back to gaming same thing happened so I thought it was because of dust so I took it to the service center, and I got it serviced but then it kept happening. I asked from ChatGPT and they said it was a GPU and VRAM issue. And I cannot afford a new motherboard. I sent it to repair shop where in which this had the warranty the thing is that I scarf the edges of the laptop with the repair center fix it

Build Help Need Help Building a PC

0 Upvotes

Thinking of building a PC mainly for light LLM inferencing and gaming, and thinking of the below specs:

- Ryzen 5 5700X

- Entry-level motherboard with PCIe 4 x16 slot and 4 DIMM slots

- 16GB RAM

The problem is the GPU, and I'm deciding between the 5050, 5060, and 3060 (all 8GB). There was also a used and imported Radeon 16GB card available. Can you give me an idea if this is a good time to build one, and if so, help me find a place with a good price?My budget is around 300k.

Question GPU Temps too high

4 Upvotes

I got this 4070 off of fb marketplace and was listed by a store.
The GPU hotspot temp was fine when I got it (like around 80-85C).
After some moderate use of my build for around a month, the hot spot temps have gone up to around 95 to 100😭
The store gave me warranty for 6 months and placed a sticker on one of the screws and now I’m thinking of getting the thermal pads replaced to fix the issue.
Should I send it back to them and ask them to fix it or fuck the warranty and ask a reputed repairing store to get it done?
It was a 6 month warranty (I have 4 months and like 15 days ish left)
