QUOTE(KiWiKaKi @ May 30 2014, 09:49 PM) yeah, sucks about the PSU. wad to do. edi bought and install. use it till it gives out i guess. anyways, will be shopping around kuching for graphic card. if cant find the gtx760 for a low enough price, maybe find r9 270x. both sounds viable. depends on the availability and marked up price range here. not planning to OC also. just deal with it. 1st... but pls dont overstress it... unless you will face this night mare.. https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3214799&hl=it can happen by bad psu part and over stress  |
