Raidmax you piss me off!

Ok you may know from an earlier thread, I bought a Nvidia GTX 260 by MSI. Well I wasn't sure if my psu would be able to power it. So I called Raidmax when they were supposed to open at 9:00am PST, but it just kept saying they were closed until about 9:45am. When I first got through the man who was actually helpful had a severely strong accent so I couldn't understand him, which I can accept. He helped to the best he could and I said I would call back to try to get the info again and I said thank you for the info he gave me. I called back about 10 minutes later and got redirected to 3 different phone numbers. Then when the Tech support finally stopped putting through to different people, the people who answered had no idea what they were saying and had to call other people over to answer my question. I hate when that happens! Well I digress, I found out I need another cable. A 2 molex to 1 PCI-E power. Whatever, just saying what I needed to.

I also have a GTX260 (from ASUS). My PSU is 500W, the super-cheapo ones you find for 30$.

I got two "2x molex to PCIe" adapters back when I bought it, and well... it works great :P

Well I meant to ask you in my last thread but I had fallen asleep.
 
FYI, you should NEVER buy cheap no-name PSUs. In the situation that it dies, it might kill a few of your components with it. The better PSUs have better protection from this.

    Wish they would let us play the NCAA football 14 on newer xbox, its one of the only games I love and own on disc still, that is not back compatible, bs.
  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
