Is this even possible? Could the engine some how be pulling so much juice it kills the PSU?
>they fell for the no headroom on psu meme
Who 750w platinum rated here?
>>339174875
>the game engine can choose to pull more power from your psu
>>339174727
>I have shit cooling and my PSU died. This is totally the game's fault.
Can we please euthanize dumb people already or at least exile them to a 3rd world country?
>>339175145
where in the OP does it mention coolling fgt?
I have a hyper 212 evo keeping it no higher then 62c CPU.
GPU doesnt even max the fans out
>>339175145
>>339175159
>I dont know if it can happen so it cant, period, and if anyone tells me otherwise ill stick my fingers in my ears and yell LALALALALA!
Anyone who legitimately thinks this is even remotely possible is retarded.
>>339175380
>where in the OP does it mention coolling fgt?
>waaah my PC runs hot
>>339175380
>>I dont know if it can happen so it cant, period
you really, really missed the point. somehow your uneducated, ignorant ass still thinks you are somehow smarter or more educated than anyone in this thread, when you have long betrayed that you don't have the *slightest* fucking clue what you're talking about
>>339175380
>PSUs don't need cooling
sure thing, buddy.
>>339175443
>implying keeping an eye an PSU temps/aftermarket PSU coolers are a normal thing
The PC doesn't run hot, the PSU(A part of the PC btw) Ran so hot it fried, twice.
>>339174727
>dark souls 3 is causing my PSU to overheat
Fucking how. I bet this retard has 0 air flow.
>>339175708
>long betrayed
>>339175728
the fans are built into the PSU bro
>>339175828
what's the matter, sport, do I talk too high-born for you?
>>339175761
Read the thread its not just one person
>>339175737
airflow nigga
it affects EVERYTHING inside
>>339175737
According to who, some retard who thought touching the PSU casing and feeling that a device that normally heats up does, in fact, feel hot was pertinent information despite no solid numbers saying exactly how hot it was?
>>339175828
And if the case has a shit ton of hot air or the PSU is improperly put in blocking the fans air flow your PSU isn't being cooled.
Hotter air being brought into hot object=hotter object.
>>339175891
yea sure
>>339175934
No fucking shit you moron, obviously its a custom PC which means there's atleast the bare minimum amount of fans which would be more then enough to keep the PC from getting so hot pieces fry, esp when while the PSU is getting hot the cpu and gpu arent.
>>339175989
Already been said the CPU/GPU Temps were fine so clearly theres no problem with air flow.
>>339174727
This is why you invest in a GOOD power supply you dumb nigga!
Corsair HX750 still running like a champ after 5 years.
>DUHH CUD TEH GAME SUMEHOW BE TAKE MORE EXTRA VOLTAGE AND FRY HIM PC?
>U GUYS DUNNO IF IT CAN 2 HAPPEN OR NOT!!
lol op, lol just stop
>>339175936
Which app do you use to monitor PSU temps?
Is this fucking thread real?
>>339174727
>expecting quality from Thermaltake and a cheap no-name brand PSU
This is what happens when you skimp out on your PSU, you fucking idiot. They say your PSU should be the highest quality component in your PC. Never underspend on it or else this will happen.
>>339174727
Are the people who deal with this running hot on normally more demanding games regardless?
Guys
I just touched my PSU and it's slightly warm
4chan is drawing too much voltage!
>>339176390
You arent allowed to ask any questions bro
>>339175891
>talk too high-born
>shit punctuation
>>339176439
delete 4chan right now, it's overheating the computer
>>339176192
There's literally no software interface with the PSU to begin with. The only way it's connected to the computer at all is through power connectors.
>>339176286
None, because there's no software for it, but "I touched the case and it was hot" could be said about any component attached to a PC after it's been turned on for 10 minutes.
>>339174727
>mfw this nigga is installing his PSU in backwards
>>339176192
>Already been said the CPU/GPU Temps were fine so clearly theres no problem with air flow.
Then the fucking idiot is blocking his PSU's airflow. There's no way in hell that dark souls 3 is somehow magically causing their PSU to draw in so much power than it overheats and dies. Perhaps the OP is a fucking idiot who's plugged his computer into an outlet that can't handle it; the retard needs to feel the cord and see if it's too hot.

I guess you could say that his PC isgit gud fgt
>>339176631
There's a difference between a warm PSU, and a part so hot its uncomfortable to touch after a couple seconds
>>339176439
DOWNLOAD MORE RAM QUICK
>>339176804
So any PC component?
You do realize most PC parts can withstand up to 230f right?
That's boiling point of water.
>>339176804
You want to try touching your PSU casing right now?
dude the code is inside muh chipset lmao
how to download more psu cooling
>my 970 meme card idles at 45c
>have good airflow
>>339176739
how does one block psu airflow? even if zero effort was put into cable management it wouldn't be anywhere near enough.
how is "HERP HE BLOCKED HIS PSU" a more believable explanation
>>339176965
Yea its far far less hot then it was the night two PSU's died,
...
>Why doesn't my PSU fan magically create cool air to pull from the flat impermeable solid surface I have placed it directly up against?
>>339177034
Depending on the make, it'll go as high as 65. That's good, because the cards can go up to 85 and it won't even matter.
Mine maxes at 60, I don't consider it a big deal.
>>339174727
That doesn't even make sense. How does a game decide how much power to draw from a PSU? The power has to go somewhere (the components of the computer, eg. CPU or graphics card) and those parts are fine, so the PSU is probably just a dud or this man is lying.
DUDE IT'S THE GOVERMENT THEY ARE ONTO YOU AND KILLED YOUR PSU IN HOPES THE BLAST KILLS YOU. BETTER LEAVE THE COUNTRY QUICK BEFORE THEIR SECOND ATTEMPT SUCCEEDS.
>>339174727
DS3 isn't killing PCs just as the 360 wasn't killed by specific games. People are probably playing DS3 a lot and their computers are already teetering on the edge of failure and they just happen to be playing this when it happens.
>Thermaltake
>unnamed cheap generic psu
>no mention of cooling
I'm surprised his shit hasn't exploded.
What is the proper way to install the PSU?
>>339177124
Or he could have a genuine hardware fault that causes the thing to draw inordinate amounts of power, and firing up DS3 just excarberates it to the point the device performs an overcurrent/overtemp shutdown to protect itself.
But yeah, I suspect a moderate to significant degree of tech retardation as well
>>339177241
> no mention of cooling
>hyper 212 evo mentioned
>buying shit PSUs
Good luck with that
>>339174727
nigga; you had a 500W PSU with a 650W setup?
What the fuck did you think would happen?
>>339177273
don't break anyting
>he doesn't liquid cool his PSU
It's like you want your house to burn down
>>339177273
In the case usually, with the cables going to things that need power.
>>339177273
Generally most cases have specific places they have for the PSU to get "optimal" airflow.
Some retards choose to ignore it or put it in upside down. Some people like OP don't know what the fuck they're talking about and attribute chinese craftmanship as japanese fault like true gook.
>>339177273
Fan side down if your case has ventilation down there.
>>339177451
>upside down
why
>>339174727
the min gpu (gtx 465) has a min Wattage of 550
http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-465/specifications
you had 500W
What the fuck did you think would happen?
>>339177594
>pulling in hot air from your GPU
Why?
>>339177741
Because they're dumb.
>>339177741
Some do that wrong too even if they have the port for it.
>>339177741
A GPU does not blow into the case, it blows out the back. The same goes for the PSU.
>>339174727
PSU isn't rated high enough for the power your hardware requires under 100% maximum load. The game may be at fault for bringing your hardware to maximum load, you're at fault for having a PSU that isn't capable of handling your hardware being at maximum load.
>>339178002
But that's wrong, GPU pulls out hot air and the PSU pulls in cool air.
>>339178002
>A GPU does not blow into the case
Where do you think the hot air from the GPU goes? It sucks in air and the flow of air blows out the sides of its heatsink.
>>339177594
if there is ventilation on the bottom of your pc, then the psu can be placed upside down so it doesn't take hot air fr.
many retards still place it upside down even if there is no ventilation.
>>339177741
>gpu exhausting hot air into the case
no. the fans pull air into the card, and out the case.
>>339178182
.....
no
>there are people on /v/ right now who still use computer cases
>>339175159
We already have too much dumbasses here, ship them to Somalia or Laos or something.
>>339174996
>Tfw 850w power supply that I spent nearly $100 on even though I didn't need it
I don't even know why I bought it. I don't think I'll ever run an SLI setup.
>>339177451
My case only had one possible way the PSU could face because of the way it had to be screwed in and I'm pretty sure it shoots hot air back into the case, but the case also pushes all the hot air out the top like a wind tunnel so it might be intentional. Even if it is, I'm still pretty sure I should get a new case.
>>339178451
You could cut someone with that chin, animeposting-kun :^)
>>339174996
corsair ax860 here.
Only bought it because of a pricing error on amazon.
with a gtx 970 and 4790k i doubt i even take it to half load.
>>339178476
I bought a 1000w because it was the only well rated PSU I could get on short notice when my GPU broke and I did an unplanned upgrade. I feel like I've gotta try a 4 card setup now.
>>339178536
yes.
Does everyone know at least 1 of THAT PERSON who manages to break/destroy every fucking thing they have? Phones, controllers, consoles, PCs. But of course they never did anything, it just broke on its own.
>>339178182
>>339178294
Any modern gaming viable GPU sucks in the air of the case and blows it out of the back of the card out of the case. The 90s-2005 models that had a fan on top that did nothing but push air through a heatsink are no longer an industry standard - only the CPU and mainboard fans still do that.
>>339176439
Oh shit
RIP anon
You should have bought a 800 80+ platinum for browsing 4chin
>>339178536
It's largely irrelevant whether a PSU sucks air into the case or blows air out of the case. All that matters is that air is moving through the case.
Typically speaking, intake is the bottom and the front, outtake is the back and top. As long as the air flows more or less like this it doesn't matter what gets hit by the cold air first, PSU or motherboard.
>>339177384
What retarded PSU calculator did you use that came to the conclusion a 750k and a 7870le draws 650w?
>>339178182
my psu doesn't even have a fan on the inside of my case. it pulls up from the bottom and pushes out the back bypassing the inside of the case all together. all my fans run at like 3-500rpm, its so quiet.
>>339179374
Case in question is a Raven 2. I'm now 100% sure that, technically speaking, it's forced me to put the power supply in the wrong way around since there's an opening on the opposite side, but it shouldn't matter much since the case fans are so strong.
>not just opening the side of your PC case
I do that for any game that's GPU intensive, be it DaS series or Witcher.
>>339179964
>61C
are you running crysis
>>339174727
explains why my Comp became so god damn loud during play
>>339179964
had sl and pcsx2 open. idle temp is around 45-50c. fan doesn't even kick on til it hits 60c. under full load is 65c / 15-20% fan usage.
>>339179964
I have a MSI 970 and I get like 28-35C when idle, and it's like 25 degrees here. If that's idle that's extremely hot. Also it doesn't have fans on when under 45 degrees so it isn't using it's own fans and still keeps cold. What the fuck are you running?
>>339174727
I'm playing DS3 with a 980 on a 450w PSU
I have had zero issues.
>>339180058
Is that case the one were the PSU is mounted sideways at the top?
It doesn't look like a very versatile design but things don't have to be perfect, if it works well enough then it works well enough.
Honestly, people get way too paranoid about computer cooling. You get nothing out of a CPU operating at 30C you wouldn't get out of one operating at 65C, or even 70C or 80C. It's mostly wank.
>>339181501
but dont u know ds3 requires 650w minimum or itll burn up your system and itll be your fault
>>339178859
Only reference coolers do this.
>>339181181
evga 970. the no fan thing comes from acx2 and its 60c not 45.
>>339178451
>not hanging your PC
>>339181984
I had a nightmare like this
>>339181984
Dats some mobo flex.
>>339174727
yes, your psu powers the game.
>>339181984
>HDD is kill
>>339181872
You can manually adjust the fan controls. On the MSI model you can actually make both fans spin at different speeds, whether that is useful or not.
>>339174727
no joke, this happend to me. I had to buy a new power supply because of Dark Souls III
dark souls 3 killed my dog
>>339174996
The system would barely reach 350 MAX. Average would probably be around 300w. 300w extra headroom is more than enough
That's crazy I played dark souls 3 for 20 hours straight on my laptop and it is fine.
Cheap PSUs are notoriously shit. If they get old even more so. Just look at this junk:
