If you are looking at a 5090 though we don't know what power draw its gonna be but reports say 250-600watts, likely to expect 5090 to be 400+watt range. I would say 1000watt psu if its over 500watts then you got safe room. Probably best to wait on buy until you see those gpu's and see what kinda...

Question would be what gpu are you looking at getting so can get an idea what might want. depending on what you are getting will dictate that.

likely it does cause they could changed the pinout. so best to go with what ever gen your psu is to avoid getting cables that could send power where it shouldn't go. If you have psu box look on should see a code near bar code. Search for it on corsairs website to find your psu and see what cable...

should be good, would avoid overclocking and maybe do a little undervolting of gpu if you want little more headroom.

Even on a rtx 4090 the difference between x8 and x16 4.0's is only 3% and that card is far from a 4090 in needs.

What i ment by switch there is a hard power toggle switch on back of least most PSU's. like one in yellow box

So dead PSU isn't for sure. If you turn off the switch and back and hear the same click sound when push power it could mean something is grounding out and popping the internal current fuse. I had same click sound years ago when my gtx1080 died. Once i removed the 1080 pc booted so you could just...

I OC'ed my card but its also under volted. only 50mhz but its running at 1.0 votes which stock is 1.1.

to only get 40MB/s from an SSD sounds like that cable is only running USB 2.0 speed. Looked on walmarts site and if i got correct one, "Douself USB 2.0 to SATA Adapter Converter" which does say 2.0 so hence the slow speed. You should went with one listed as USB 3.0. I would go with one that has...

In theory it would mean psu fan has to run less But as other said it would let the little bit of heat psu makes in to the case. Given likely you already hear case fans from pc i doubt the psu fan will ever be heard in the times it does get use .

So depending on intel in how fast and if they integrate their arc gpu tech in cpu package. Those 2 segments could not be $ for amd for much longer. Intel has only been serious in gpu for what 1year? maybe 2 at most and they have gpu that price wise made waves as an option including major...

I would say nvidia gtx1650 as its 75watts so should make sure you stay well under that 400watt psu limit as not sure what kinda headroom you have for 160$ . RX 580 in reviews pulls around 200watts so that could be an issue. (all power numbers are from reviews on TPU). Probably are other AMD...

that is exactly what i was saying all that need to do. build cases like this as it solves the problem the OP thinks needs a change, but it uses all current hardware designs without any changes. Win-Win

its easy fix with making a case that flips board so pci is on top, cpu on bottom. all current MB/GPU a good.

So you want hot air of a cpu cooler which in this setup makes clearly of some air coolers a problem right up in to the gpu which make an already hot gpu run even hotter if you are current gpu. To turn the gpu way you are asking would mean GPU's would have to changed as well On top of computer...
