    Basic PC config

    Firstly, Hats off for the Effort ! If you can extend budget and fit everything then great , otherwise if you have to make compromise to fit things in tight budget, will recommend you to go with AMD A6 9500 for around Rs 3300, it is an older gen processor but good enough for basic stuff ,will...

    [RFC] What compromise I should make on my motherboard purchase?

    There is also Athlon 200GE (Rs 5000 at md , offline probably cheaper at 4700 or so ) as an alternative btw if cost is bigger priority or if you want to use it as temporary solution or usage/requirement is low AMD Athlon 200GE 3.2 GHz Review

    My Core i5, RX 480 PC rebooting when starting game, looks like PSU is culprit

    If the issue is because of caps , then electrolytic caps do have self healing properties.. I DON'T suggest to use that old PSU and game on that.. And NOT to experiment with it trying to put load on it to see if it is working or not.. Your old PSU even though appear to be working , may not have...

    Looking for best PSU for my Core i5 4570 and RX 480 PC

    Atleast Try to get Corsair TX 550m - 5.5k Or TX 650m for 6 k Depending upon availability The price difference is mostly for better internal components , thus longer life which is why you get much longer warranty

    My Core i5, RX 480 PC rebooting when starting game, looks like PSU is culprit

    1) Much more chances of it being a PSU problem Caps have a finite life , given the age and usage of PSU they have likely run their lifetime 2) No on a safe side , although it may appear to be working , failed cap would probably increase ripple quite a bit and affect voltages , that ripple...

    Corsair CX550 issue with UPS

    It appears that the inrush drawn is very close to edge of your UPS capacity.. So sometimes it is working and sometimes not ( varying transfer time thus varying inrush in accordance with load , depending upon at which point on sinecurve you are loosing AC- luck based ) and your PSU is fine and...

    Corsair CX550 issue with UPS

    Yeah as fast as you can ... 2-3 sec is fine For the next separate test , you can try adding 1 hdd at a time and test with that 4-5 times to find the max load/limit of hdds that will be supported by your UPS

    Corsair CX550 issue with UPS

    Do also the first test ," with all 4 hdds connected" Also can you do 2nd test again with 1 hdd? This time do it 10 times ( won't take much time ) ( simply on and off AC power manually 10 times while your PC is playing video file just give a gap of 30 seconds between each set of switch off and...

    Motherboard suggestion with my G4560 Processor

    please go with VS 450 ( new white version ) at RS 2300 as they are much better in quality , don't skip here if you want longevity of components.. go with a 2nd hand cheap case .. Go for gigabyte B250M at 4k , looks like there has been a big price drop... it will work out of the box with g4560

    budget gaming pc under 30k

    yeah CX 450 ( white version ) is fine if you are tight on budget with 1060 , here you can look at power consumption figures The GeForce GTX 1060 Founders Edition & ASUS Strix GTX 1060 Review can't say about future cards , but they should be fine if they aren't very significantly power hungry...

    Corsair CX550 issue with UPS

    You cannot conclusively prove anything without proper measurements and some testing , all you can do is ascertain the most likely reason 1) every PSU will have a different inrush current curve this can also be seen in that graph in pdf , plus every same VA ups may not have same tolerance and...

    Corsair CX550 issue with UPS

    where did you felt that ? Basically for a given load , the longer the transfer time of UPS , the more the Cap discharges , the more the cap discharged , the higher it will draw inrush current to fill it up quickly.. 1)You can either get UPS with small capacity with much less transfer time so...
