Do any of you know why my PC might have fried 2 power cables (not the supply itself) within a month? Second time she won't turn on last time it was just the cable, can't assume that's the cause right now but it smells like the power supply itself may be bad. I could see one faulty cable but two seems odd
The Internet has been enshittified to the point that searching for this seems obnoxious also I have to search on my phone because obviously my PC won't turn on lol
Update things are going well that's the shattered glass side of my case lol

I asked the guy at microcenter, got sold an 850 watt power supply. Hopefully that fixes it
That should cover just about any home use rig unless you have an absolute monster like a 4090 super or whatever with a top end R9 or i9. My most recent build had a faulty PSU, it's quite common.
I think I have a 4070? I dunno I just bought it a few months ago. Maybe it's a 3070. Spent about 500 on it
Then you'll be just fine. An 850 watt PSU is more than enough for any $500 card.
