Would the Phanteks 850w AMP GH be a good PSU for a 9950x & 5080?
>>103198035forgot pic
>>103197861Thanks for the suggestions. I will investigate further once I have ascertained that the build is stable with JEDEC.Event viewer is sadly unhelpful. Kernel-Power Event ID 41, task category 63
>>103198035Don't phanteks PSUs all come without cables?
>>103198133this is what their site says
is amazon global store UK legit? i just got a $350 psu for 260 from them on amazon but im wondering if its a scam and i should cancel
>>103198035>>103198133Nevermind that's just the Revolt line. Anyway I'd be looking at 1000W or higher for a 5080.
>>103197890>>103198018That's a man
>>103198182Link to product. Some scam sellers imitate legit sounding Amazon store names.
What would the minimum hardware choices be to run Ghosts of Tsushima at 1080p with mid to high graphics settings? Looking to spend around $1000 including a monitor. I've been looking at a 7600x3d and maybe a 3060.
What are some cheap but good enough DACs?
>>103198247Have you tried the audio thread?
>>103197890Sexo
>>103198252Sorry
is the final redpill if you wanna casualmaxx at this point to just run a 55"/65"/77" S90C/D to ExperienceMaxx™?
>>103198187Damn really? Okay. Because currently I have a Ryzen 7900 with PBO enabled and an RTX 3060 but I'm planning on upgrading my GPU when the 50-series launch and need to upgrade from my el-cheapo 550w bronze PSU.

Reposting this from last thread because it was right before the new one was made: >Phase Power DesignCan someone explain this to me, and what exactly I would need to be able to OC a 9800x3d to a respectable clock? I'm not looking to do crazy cutting edge shit, it would just be nice to squeeze out a noticeable performance boost 5-6 years down the road when the chip starts to show its age. All the $200-250 x870e (ASROCK at least) mobos only have a 14+2+1 phase power design. Whereas the Nova has a 20+2+1 and the Taichi Lite / Taichi have 24+2+1. That seems like a big gap to me, but I'm clueless on this stuff and google searches aren't exactly giving me definitive answers.
>>103198269Make sure you sit 30 cm away from it as well.Also insert some mechanical support behind your neck and use a joystick to move your entire head so you can resolve the details around it.
>>103198226avoid the 3000s, they were done with Samshit fab, they have high wattage, high temp and melting ram issues
>>103197957I miss my mums ddds
upgrade mamabubi amdd
>>103198226> Ghosts of Tsushima at 1080p60 fps gameplay at 1080p require at least RTX 2060, Ryzen 3600, 16GB RAM, 75GB SSD.7600x3d and 3060 exceed these requirements by more than just a little bit but I would recommend a 3080 or 3080ti for higher settings.
>>103198312I asked the same question in one of the past threads. I can't find the thread, but basically the Anon who replied said that it's mostly a marketing gimmick unless you are trying to reach very high clock speeds. Boards used to be built with terrible phase power designs, and then suddenly they started to overbuild their VRM's, as he put it, and it mostly became irrelevant for the average user since even cheap boards won't have issues. Just buy the Nova if you're a game, the layout makes more sense and I say this as someone who bought the Taichi and already regret this because the two PCIe slots will bifurcate, whereas on other designs like the Nova, you can stick something in the x4 (AFAIK) and it won't do that; so you've got an expansion slot while I don't unless I want to run at x8/x8.
>>103198302the sony qdoleds with the same panel costs way more than the samsungs tho>>103198320kekbut but but but - hold upnew goated monitor just droppedhttps://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27gx790a-b-gaming-monitor27" 1440p 480hz WITH DP 2.1this will beat and prolly be cheaper than the Ayysus
>>103198398Yea I don't want the Taichi/Taichi lite because it's E-ATX. The Nova would be nice but I'm wondering if the RS Pro would do the trick. I don't plan to use more than 2-3 M.2 slots (probably two) so I don't know if I need the extra shit the Nova has, the only thing that seems useful about it is the backplate and 5g lan instead of 2.5g.
>>103198434the sony i want has the mini led screenthey come in bigger and brighter screens but they don’t have contrast like oled but i want the brightness
>>103197904use case?
>>103198439Honestly, just look at the spreadsheet and compare them. That's pretty much the only way you can come to a decision cleanly, IMO.

caved and bought a 4090 and 9800x3dit's fucking legit
>>103198489Seek mental help.
>>103198538All you had to do was wait less than two months. You paid MSRP for a 2 year old card. What the fuck dude? I hope you end up returning the 4090 in January.

What happened to the launch schedule of the miniLED monitors with more dimming zones?Is it over?
>>103198646No tears, only QD-OLED now.
>$25 a pieceAre these a meme?
>>103198675Yes.
>>103198646they cant push the prices down enough to compete with oleds that go down 20% each year
>>103198675It's a literal set-it-and-forget-it product, the value of it depends on how long you plan to keep the processor.Almost retard-proof too considering it is conductive. Performance isn't the best, but you're not buying carbon sheets to maximize heat transfer.
>>103198675Their only advantage is that you never need to replace them. They offer roughly the same temp performance as slightly better than middle of the pack thermal paste, but can't touch liquid metal (don't buy this) or phase change. Honestly, if you're that lazy, undervolt your CPU, buy the best AIO you can, and throw that thing on there. The most you'll have to do is replace the AIO every 3-5 years; which you would probably do anyway depending on how frequently you rebuilt your computer.
>>103198312You shouldn't prefer the Nova over the other boards because of the power phase design. It's overkill. Just a nice to have. Even 14+2+1 are more than enough. No, you should prefer the Nova for it's quality-of-life features like the EZ release lever, the heavy backplate that stabilizes the board, the outstanding efficient thermal pads, the many M.2 slots that don't even take lanes away from the GPU. You should prefer it for its superior value literally across the board. It's worth waiting for it if you can.https://www.igorslab.de/en/asrock-phantom-gaming-x870e-nova-wifi-in-test-cheap-taichi-alternative-with-experience-report-teardown-material-testing-and-thermal-modding/
>>103198784is it really worth getting over a x870 Pro RS or Steel Legend?I'm also looking for a good motherboard to pair my 9800x3D with, I know I'll try to do some PBO stuff and OC/tighten RAM timings but that's about as far as I'll go
If I'm just getting an external hdd does it matter what kind I get if all I'm doing is storing pictures and movies?
is there any reason to get the Fractal Torrent with the glass siding rather than the steel plate?
>>103198857its convenient to see the internal leds like sometimes a pc stay awake after hitting sleep button but you wouldnt know unless you have glass side
>>103198370I believe that will exceed the budget I was given for the build but I will look into those GPUs.Thanks.>>103198333What about a 4050?
>>103198837Not really. If the pictures are actually important (porn isn't important) then throw that shit up on the cloud.
>>103198894>What about a 4050?what the everloving fuck is your problem man. for real. this reminds me of when /v/ used to tell people to get a 750ti because it was the forever card.
>>103198829That's a money question. If you can afford the Nova you should definitely get it. If not then you have no choice anyway. The Nova can do overclocking while remaining cool and stable easily. The only constraint is: it has no BCLK engine like Taichi. But you don't need this arcane stuff anyway, it's for hardcore overclockers only, it was en vogue for CPUs that have no unlocked multiplier.
>>103198904>cloudThat's a thing? I thought people would check if I was storing pirated movies?
>>103198513Just get Ayymd 9800x3d or similar if you're a consoomer. The only saving grace of intel is that it has good productivity app performance.
>1440p: ASRock PG27QFT2A, Dell G2724DThese seem like shit, why are they recommended?
>>103198894> What about a 4050?For the love of God! Get at least a 4060.
An anon stated I would get 10c lower temps with an AIO cooler. We will find out tomorrow. I will run the same real world test and watch my temps.
>>103198549Take advantage of those christmas return policies
>>103198955what size you get?
>>103198950Cause they're great value. You don't need much more when it comes to 1440p gaming.
>>103198963
>>103198967But no real HDR or top colour gamut
>>103194480>>103195373Except that was my third build.
>>103198979good, enjoy your light show
Any good black friday deals? Realy interested in mini-PCs or any kind of deals on DDR4/DDR5 ram
>>1031988944050 is laptop only, if you're going low end get a RX6600>>103198911to be fair the 750ti lasted for a long time, if it had 4gb it would still be viable for 1080p low.
>>103199012Amazon black friday is on the 22nd i think
>>103198950>why are they recommended?there's a monitor with 0 reviews in the 1080p section and another with 6+2 frc and high response times as well, it's safe to asume some schizo made the recommendations then it's been cargo culted ever since
>>103199096I want a 1440p decent refresh rate monitor (144hz+) with gaysync that is IPS and has real HDR. I literally can't find one.
>>103199127HDR is a meme, do you even know why you need it or what it entails?
Is the M32U decent?
>>103199137It will look really good is what I heard
>>103198932I didn't say shit about movies.
>>103199160If you put a HDR proper display, like an OLED next to a calibrated sRGB panel with proper tone-mapping the HDR movie will look identical and especially if you spent 10 minutes watching each in isolation then switch to the other for 10 minutes you'll literally, be incapable, whatsoever to say that you've noticed any difference.Also historically all video games and even recent titles are mastered on sRGB, their HDR mode is just a reverse-tone-mapping to HDR gamut, meaning it just makes sure the colors look like in sRGB when you go into the HDR mode.Pixel response times and that gsync module might be infinitely more valuable than the HDR meme.
>>103199185>Pixel response times and that gsync module might be infinitely more valuable than the HDR meme.ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH, give me some real some suggestions without breaking the bank.
>>103198955This is only true on the heaviest of loads but most of the time it's a 2 to 4 degree difference. I considered an AIO for a while but finally decided on going with air in the end since AMD is efficient anyway and the 9800x3d keeps very low temps.
>>103199209Monitor unboxed is your best bet, he measures 60 - 90 - 100 - 120 - 144 and max hz response times at various overdrive modes, so buy the cheapest that has the best results. Make sure the overshot is small as well as you do not want inverse ghosting that's noticeable.
>>103199092Have motherboards or other pc components historically gone down in price in the past few years?
>>103198675Tried it, I got better temps with my trusty old IC graphite. Then I swapped that out for a Gelid phase change pad that's not so reusable and get 5C better on average. Those Gelid pads are only like 5-7 bucks so I'll just stick with those as long as they're available. And they are kind of reusable like any thermal pad, you can lift off your CPU cooler and it'll stick there being a gelatinous square as it does.

How much power does a CPU need to draw for an AIO to make sense over an air cooler?
https://cdn.knightlab.com/libs/juxtapose/latest/embed/index.html?uid=fa57d330-a6e5-11ee-9ddd-3f41531135b6This is via developer dll for dlss, it force disabled TAA, this is what your game actually looks like before temporal anti aliasing.
is 5070 supposed to be equivalent to 4070 super or 4070 ti super? just tryna see the price range in a similar gpu
>>103199449We'll know in about march 2025.
>>103199400W-w-why?
>>103199436like 200w ofc cpus dont draw that kinda sustained power at gaming workloads even if they were rated for thattheres some argument that since the water absorbs heat its useful at lower watts too, it reduces the need for an air cooler to ramp up and down which would be audible
>>103199127>IPS and has real HDRdoes that even exist?
>>103199449implying theres even a 5070. at launch you will see the high end cards. mid/budget will trickle out whenever nvidia feels like it.
>>103199291>for my motherJust find an old ass Apple, bro.
>>103199393Got any sources on that? Was planning to buy one 990 with 4tb for 260€, but only if the linux performance isn't that bad...
4080/s owners how good are your temps during summer? mine is at 65 to 67 on full load at 30c to 35c room temperature
>yesterday anons berating me about not knowing that every single PSU manufacturer uses their own pin setup for the output slots>CableMod implies otherwiseI am have looked through their supposed PSU list, which is pretty fucking long, and most of them will point to some series of premade cables they sell for a different brand. Apparently Super Flower works just fine with EVGA cables.
>>103199494Seems to vary depending on a bunch of factors: https://forum.level1techs.com/t/samsung-990-pro-running-at-less-than-half-of-rated-speed/207006/26
>>103197890I would let Lisa Su peg me if she stayed with me for a weekend in bed.Saturday would just be fucking constantly with cuddles in between. Not even leaving the bed except for piss breaks. Breakfast wouldn't begin until 9pm, and we'd both lose 5lbs from fucking and starving together. She'd continue looking better and better in her black latex and shoelace outfit.Sunday morning we'd leave bed and go outside in oversized winter jackets and boots. She'd hand me a cigarette and light both of ours like in a film, and I have never even smoked before, but rolling with the theme of a dizzying couple of days of degeneracy, I'd feel obligated.Come Sunday evening, we'd both be just about over it, and anticipating the big Monday to come, meetings with PMs, TSMC engineers, press conferences.Finally, when I'm nodding off at 8pm from hunger and lethargy from the cigarettes and empty balls, she'd dress, pack up, and leave when I thought she was just out of bed using the washroom.I'd wake up Monday morning, the curtain allowing an inch of sunlight to cast on the foot of my bed. Bird and children shouting outside. Quiet stillness indoors.My weekend with Lisa Su would never happen again because she's just one of those girls.
>>103199513That example is because superflower used to make all of EVGA's power supplies. As for newer ones it's possible they kept the same pin layout to be compatible with their previous ones.
>>103199513Some of them work, but some like the Leadex VII do not apparently
wtf happened with PSUs and why do i have to worry about ATX 3.0 or whateverwas about to just buy pic related (prices are in CAD) but apparently might be a bad idea?
After 11 years of using my current PC I am thinking about upgrading and I'm currently looking for a motherboard.I am looking at reviews and all that, and apparently all modern motherboards come bundled with some kind of malware-tier software to control the RGB lights and all that shit. Is that more or less unavoidable now? Can things like MSI Center or Gigabyte Control Center or... whatever the fuck the ASUS version of that is called be completely removed?
>>103199616pedo
>>103199634...what?
>Mfw a 5080 at leaked tdp would be too much for my system's psu and I have a 1000 watt unitSasuga... Intel 10nm... is strong...!
>>103199616Just don't install it.
10 celsius anon must be shitting his pants right now when I post my updated temps tomorrow.
>>103199660Damn straight
>>103199557I am saying that the majority of different PSU brands use one of six different layouts that Cablemods sells. You're right that there are outliers like the Lead VII but if you look at the giant ass list, it's 95% E-series in the case of Super Flower.
MSI X870 Tomahawk or AsRock X870E Nova? Tomahawk is cheaper by about 100€ and I can get it delivered next week, Nova is on 2 months backorder.Other options are X870 Pro RS and Steel Legend but as I understand they're worse than the 2 above. Originally I wanted to get a B650 Steel Legend but the price and availability are retarded here so I might as well get fucked nicely.
>>103199231>Have motherboards or other pc components historically gone down in price in the past few years?I think it was last year where there were a bunch of absolutely insane newegg tiktok shop deals around black friday which yes included cpus, mobos, and ram
Just realized that DLSS can be tweaked with minimal effort, you can even tell it to use the maximum LOD for 1080p.You can also tweak the default 0.67 for quality to 0.75 or 0.775 for some visual improvement and still amazing performance.Doing this means you beat the TAA.
>>103199748I'm replacing my Tomahawk right not because I'm getting intermittent USB dropouts. Fixed it temporarily with a powered USB hub. I would advise spending $50 more for something else, maybe a X870E if it's available; but I'm American, so I'm not sure if the price difference is the same in the EU.
>everyone shitting and fardign themselves about the 5090 potentially being 2-2.5k USD>basically every single 4090 costs more than 2.5k currently I dunno guys. I am not saying Nvidia should be allowed to get away with these prices but maybe, just maybe, we shouldn't acting like this isn't the new normal. I am also pretty interested in seeing how their distributers like MSI, Gigabyte, Asus, and so forth try and deal with the margins. If the 5090 CE is 2.5k straight from Nvidia, there is no way that they're going to be able to squeeze people for like 3.2k. They can't possibly move enough units at that price point.
>>103199658So they are entirely optional then?It's not something that is bundled by default and impossible to remove entirely? That is my concern.
>>103199776They know people will buy it anyway
>>103199776I remember 3090 prices during peak scalper era and those were like 2k>became normal price next gen
am i misunderstanding something or is atx 3.1 the exact same thing as atx 3.0 but the box has a different name for the 16 pin cable on it
>>103198462Masochism
>>103199583pls some1 help i want to order the 850w one for a 7700x + 7800xt buildnot really sure what to get, theres an rm850x "shift" amazon as well for like CAD$70 more i dunno if i really need atx 3.0, by the time i want to upgrade my gpu/cpu at the end of the AM5 cycle I'll prob need to replace the PSU again for safety?
>>103199802ATX 3.1 can connect directly to 40 series GPUs with the 16 pin without needing an extremely fucked connector that melts your gpu.
>>103199449most likely a 4070 super, a little above and the 5070 Super will have 15-30% uplift against 4080
>>103199835Basically better connector for GPU and much better at handling power spikes
>>103199851i heard 3.1 has worse performance thoughwould FSP Hydro Ti PRO 1000W be any good? i heard it's 3.0 but has the updated 12V-(2X6) unit?
>>103199851ppl keep talking about 3.1 why do i only see 3.0are these 3.1 PSUs like in the >US$150 range or something?also I'm only planning to power a 7800XT maybe 7900XT, not a 4080, and i expect that will be it for me until the end of the AM5 cycle so maybe it doesnt even matterthe superflower plat 850w is basically US$75 in case no one is able to make sense of the CAD$110 price tag
>>103199899i'm running a 7800X3D and a 7900XT from a 650W Corsair from 2018. You'll be more than okay with 850 from any reputable brand at 80+ gold
>>103199868ATX 3.1 does have less stringent standards, yes. Many ATX 3.0 PSUs have been updated to be ATX 3.1 compatible, as in they have the 12v2x6 cables. A lot of them don't indicate that though, because it would mean updating all the marketing materials, packaging, etc... For PSUs I've been considering, I look at hardware busters reviews. A lot of times in the comment section he'll confirm if they're 3.1 compliant. The move is to definitely get a 3.0 ATX that has been updated with the 12v2x6
>>103199919yeah i guess, i dont think i would even survive through the summer with any GPU that demands more than a 600-800w PSUac cant keep up even now, im considering even getting longer cables for the monitor/keyboard so i can have the actual PC in a different room during summers
>>103199748> X870 Pro RSDo it, it's good.
>>103199933my issue with his site is, as someone who isn't PSU literate with all the voltage mumbo jumbo, i cant actually figure out which one he is endorsing
>>103199933was initially considering pic related 750W or 850W, hoping it goes on sale. The 850W right now is only CAD$10 more so might even go for thatthe non-3.0 super flower in >>103199583 i only started considering because it was cheaper
>>103199390RX 6650 XT is exactly the same performance as 7600 but might be cheaper.You don't need 6800 but it's the next logical step if you can find it for less than $350, anything in-between is not worth it.
>>103199946just ventiliate the room anon and it'll be fine
>>103199963pic related Corsair RM750X "Shift" i mean..
>15900KYS - 500W>5090 - 600WIs it possible that this next gen gaming rig, at full load, could trip a breaker during one of the classic nvidia power excusions?
I bought into the meme.Will make money selling my 3950x.
>>103199973no i tried it's hot as fk in summer, and now it's gonna be cold as fk in winter because i dont think the wall has insulation in itthe window is also huge
>>103197890would anyone else pay money for pin-ups of mommy su
>>103199994soon we'll have to run a second power supply on a different circuit just for the GPU.
has there been any leaks for what the shrouds are gonna look like for the 50 series? if they arent different than the 40 series consider me waiting for the 60's
>>103199851> extremely fucked connector that melts your gpuWhat are you fantasizing there? It has always been retarded users not ensuring proper seating of a cheap third party plug in the socket of the GPU and bending the cables with side panels in too small sized cases. These people were not willing to wait for their PSU manufacturer to provide them adequate qt adapters like picrel from beQuiet.
>>103199775>getting intermittent USB dropoutsThat's unlucky, but I can't stay I'm too surprised because my B450 Tomahawk MAX also has USB issues. If I ever use my mouse wired moving the cable just slightly will create dropouts, same for my audio interface. >I would advise spending $50 more for something else, maybe a X870E if it's availableSadly the only X870E board I could get is the Nova and it's already 400€ here, it's just rough.>>103199955Is it really? It's white so either this or the Steel Legend would fit my build better, but I want to make sure I won't regret it in the future.From what I gather the main differences are PCI-E lanes allowances and VRM capabilities, although I imagine the latter doesn't really matter unless I were to run a 9950x3D with heavy OC.One day I should probably get into motherboard intricacies so I can figure this out myself.
>>103199996Isn't buying from Aliexpress or whatever Chinese website this is a great way to get malfunctioning parts or scammed?
>>103197890thermal pad recommendation for vram?looking to buy some from aliexpress
>>103200089No, they have buyer protection.
The fans in my case decided to reset to the rainbow puke color today, is this something that happens often for rgbfags?At least it gave me an excuse to get rid of msi center and use openrgb
>>103200157my mobo has some RGB in it, when i turn it off eventually it turns back on after some update or something. i just gave up loli hope the mobo i just bought doesnt have RGB again that i cant turn off permanently without bloatware
>>103199994you need >1800w to trip a 15a breakerdoubt unless you have other high draw shit on the same circuit
>>103199994>>103200032>>103200183At the very least, there won't be any more power strip usage. Those things start to melt at 1200w
is the NZXT C1500 worth the $350 price tag? I'm wondering if it's one of those "you buy it once and you basically never need to buy another PSU again" sort of thing
>>103199855fucked up how the 3070 was the last good consumer level card nvidia ever made
>>103200243it wasn't good because it was samshit, you could argue that 4070 super is the last good one but then it also has one big flaw, the 12vhpwr cable slapped in for no reason
>>103199996I thought about doing this but my b350 mobo probably can't handle it. I mean, the bios supports it but VRMs are a different story. And buying a b550 board to support a 5700x3d feels silly, even if it would be like 200 total for the cpu and the board
>>103200248I'm still using my 3070 since near launch and haven't had any issues with it outside of being mad now that it's only an 8GB card and that will start to show in the next couple years
>>103200232>never need to buy another PSU againPSU is prob the first thing to shit out in many pc builds imoi cheaped out before (never again) and after a few years that old pc would just shut down if my GPU power usage spiked during a gamemaybe u wont have to replace it even after 10 years but i wouldnt feel good bout it
>>103199994Flash an unlocked bios and run 800W into the gpu and you shall get thereWill they even release a 295K? 285K already seems like a paper launch just like the 10900K
>>103198549>>103198624You have to let people make poor financial decisions, because that's the only way that they can learn to be responsible with it.
>cinebench r24 maxes out my 7800x3d at 80C >steel nomad loop maxes out the hotspot at 70c with a delta of 15c1 year later and my cooling still holds up, its gamer time
>>103198607Like I said, it's a man.
>>103199221air works way better on the 9800x3d anywayaios cant cool them well since the hotspot is off-centre and concentrated on the bottom right. i've bought a am5 offset mounting kit to offset my 360 aio so that the cpu isnt overheating under 100% loads without CO
>1350w>has 2 16 pin connectors>has atx 3.1 compatability but is atx 3.0 compliant>single rail>only $270am i missing something why would you not just go for this PSU
>>103199994>>103200183In other words don't vacuum and play video games at the same time
>>103200073The Pro RS did fine with the 9950x in the hardware unboxed review, good VRM temps. I think the Steel Legend has better usb ports or something, that's about it. For just the x870 I don't think any of the boards are bad unless you need the features of the x870e.
>>103199835>>103199583Those two are fine PSUs, the new ATX 3.x standards raised the minimum requirements on transient spikes, but the high-end ATX 2.0 PSUs were already meeting or exceeding those requirements.An example is the older ATX 2.0 Corsair RMx and better models, they just changed the box packing to ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5 compliant and bundled a compatible 12VHPWR cable because the products were already overbuilt.The two Super Flower units you linked are probably in the same situation, the only downside is having to buy a separate 12VHPWR or 12V-2x6 power cable if you want one.https://store.cablemod.com/product/cablemod-basics-e-series-12vhpwr-90-degree-pci-e-cable-for-evga-g-g-p-p-t-black-16-pin-to-dual-8-pin-60cm/
>>103199962Depends on your priorities.Pick an affordable PSU in the list with the lower transient response deviation if you're planning to install a high-end video card.If you're a noise schizo, pick one with the lower(est) noise.If you're a power efficiency schizo, go with the overall best average efficiency, including low power draw scenarios.If you don't care for the specifics, open the relative performance chart and buy the best one you can afford.
>>103200555looks like it's the FSP Hydro Ti Pro 1000w thenbut how come I can't find any store listings for the 3.1 version? On their site they clearly have one, but when you go to amazon or newegg they all show the old model in the pictures, even the ones whose title explicitly state "12V-(2X6)"
>>103200569FSP isn't as well known, people who comb through PSU reviews are a subset of a subset of DIY PC builders.They're probably selling these near-cost & just managing inventory levels.
>>103200580so how can I guarantee I actually get the 3.1 version? even the model numbers are the exact same
