>I got the cheapest possible PSU for my high end Premium build, what could possibly go wrong
>>108526501Probably nothing
I've never had a PSU die in 20 years
>>108526501Modular, "gayming" branded, 850W.It is a premium PSU. Although it does not mean the quality is premium. But they no longer make those. This is the closest you will get.
>>108526501stops workingI've had it happen, in fact it was a BeQuiet psu that went with a huge bangreplaced it with what I could afford at the time, which was an arctic cooler pro, or something... which still works today but lacks enough pcie connectors for my build
>>108526501I got a 450w psu on a 3060 with a xenon cpu fine
>>108527318It's Gaymen you fucking retard. See how it has the words gay and men, to make it sounds like gaming. Fucking yuropors and/or browns (same thing lol) I swear
>>108527311Power supplies don't always die in the sense that the computer wont turn on. A flaky power supply can sometimes cause system lockups or failure to boot reliably and it can be hard to tell if its the motherboard, software or the Power Supply.
>>108529092I have never had a computer have random system lockups or fail to boot reliably in 20 years.
>>108527475brown is the most common eye color in the US, blue is the most common in europe. go figure
>>108526501Cheaping out on the PSU really makes no sense, you can get an excellent PSU that will outlast all your components for 150$
>>108527311I just had one die last month. It could pass memtest, but on subsequent boots it did not work. Thought the motherboard died, but with a spare PSU the system worked.granted, this was a no-name PSU powering a pentium III board. Not exactly Seasonic/Corsair. The spare PSU I tested it with was in fact a 18 year old Corsair...
