That does look fun!

How come you’ve opened a second thread? theres already a thread on this?

This is exactly why I flat out stopped recommending such low end systems. Just doesn’t make any sense when it comes to upgrade time

So with the 6950XT it's up to 400W Total Board Power (TBP) The 8pin connector can carry 150w per connector Then you've got 75W capability on the PCIe slot. But I believe the PCIe slot is only used as a fall back if the PCIe PSU cables are maxxed out. So in theory you've got up to 250w going...

What for? A full system? You'd need to go through the following and update: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/please-read-before-posting-collaboration-of-helpful-hints.88726/

Wow, ok, if you read madness in that, that's quite interesting. We had zero clue what MAX budget he had, and we'd already specifically asked and not had a response, so I was asking for the lacking information, otherwise how do we know if it's the best it can be or not? If it offended you, no...

It's not built for upgradeability, you'd have to replace most of the platform to be able to support anything higher end, at which point it just doesn't make sense as you end up with an entry level case that can't support the components etc etc etc, plus PCS don't do those upgrades as part of...

I think you're referring to the 4000 series, not the 5000s, it's the 12VHPWR connector that's the issue due to the way the power stage is designed on the card itself, it has no load balancing over the 6 power cables and so can easily run far too many amps over a single wire causing it to heat to...

We did in fact strongly suggest that the budget you had wasn't sufficient for a worthwhile gaming pc, we ended up designing something to your budget, but did state it wasn't a good system. https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/new-to-pc-gaming-advice-on-specs-please.68913/post-476834

Sound very much like the relationship between me and my brain, mess everywhere I tell you!

You still haven't mentioned your max budget which is why you didn't previously get a response, we were waiting for the full info

I've had my eye on this one, does look really cool, I put up a post about it a while ago https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/clair-obscur-expedition-33.97517/

It’s not something we’d be able to tell you, you’d need to trace the cable to see if it’s splitting. The split will likely be near the GPU on that side of the case as you can see from the image I attached
