the "number bigger = better" thing is pure bs tho

recently updated drivers from adrenalin 2018 to 2020 and now i cant use them as speakers

fuck me

dear god just kill me

It replaced the 550ti and for a change I didn't kill it <:comfort:592107824826417204>

Not that the videocard was the only instance my computer broke, but usually it was like... lightning strikes that blew out the PSU and mobo. Or that time I upgraded with a massive 160 GB drive, one gb ram and that 512 MB radeon and the tech who put it together for me (didn't know cumputers that much back then) was like "yea, we started it, it sort of sputtered and gave up". So I had to upgrade the PSU too

why is your psu so shit that it let your mobo blow out

psu should be 50$ minimum

Imagine how much poverty he could fix if he used his campaign funds he’ll inevitably waste<:thinkgon:560211224923734026>

price means shit. if price was a reliable indicator of quality, apple products would be the absolute best

It was a 2005 ish PSU for a 2003 computer, don't ask me. My parents were completely illiterate about computers and at the time so was I.

well ofc im talking 50$ on a good brand

good brands, price is an indicator of quality

Guess the guy at the repair just saw what was there before, some price negotiation might have happened, who knows.

some good brands have shitty lower-end models

like MSI motherboards for example

Not really, its just how the market values the product vs the actual build quality

Supply and demand my dude

@Papa John's Day of Reckoning Not like that one they gave me after the final upgrade (grand total of three psus in that PC) was from a brand you'd trust. You ever heard about HEDY? <:smugon:512048583806025739>

then again calling MSI a "good" brand is a bit of a stretch IMO

Hey, my msi parts haven't blown up (yet)

MSI isn't utter garbage don't get me wrong. just... a bit too prone to low quality for comfort

can't remember model off the top of my head, but iirc there was this MSI gpu that had better cooling with the backplate *off*

MSI is just a good budget brand

@Papa John's Day of Reckoning Found the shell of the psu that I blew up. 350W. Which, honestly, might've been enough for a 60GB drive, 768MB ram (don't ask) and a 440mx

what about gigabyte?

i'd rather get a cheap gigabyte mobo than a cheap MSI mobo

prepare for the butthurt

It was an *eurocase* PSU though

Never heard of eurocase

HOW DARE YOU ASK FOR MEMES IN THE MEME CHANNEL

i've seen it somewhere but smell of generic

So either I was misinformed and that lightning only blew up the mobo, not the PSU, or the repair gave us an OEM psu <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
