dBTelos Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 I probably know the most about PSUs on this forum, and was wondering what the demand was for a PSU buying guide sticky on the top of this forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As stated at Hard Forum many supplies are not individually tested nor use a standard approach in testing them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dBTelos Posted August 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 I have 5 or so legit testing websites I visit that have done very accurate testing on pretty much every supply. I read them all, then figure out how much power a system will need and recommend a supply. If I planned to test them all myself I would make my ownn site and post it their.Anyway, I post at Hard Forum's power supply section all the time (daily) and a PSU sticky here would be as accurate as the one their.

sethook Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 You might want you lobby with Jeff or the staff of this forum via PM? They have the final say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Of course, whatever you write will be under review before being pinned anywhere. This would most likely involve the mods, admins, and the relavent staff. Also, if you are making something that is more of a 'tutorial', consider posting it for the Besttechie Knowledge Base Articles section. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dBTelos Posted August 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I'd love to make it part of the KB. But I think it would better serve its purpose as a sticky, as it would be seen more by people making a new system. And I'm not always going to be here to tell them I have a PSU article in the KB. If Matt or BT approve it for a sticky (assuming they like the way I do it) I will make it sometime soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 You should write it, and then they'll decide Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I like the idea of a good psu tutorial/guide, but am not a fan of stickys. They seem to leave a cluttered look, just my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dBTelos Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I will make it tomorro. Coming from you guys, what would you like to see, or what would help you most? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bearskin Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 first of all I would like to know what makes you the expert on psu?do you have certificates?prior training?don't get me wrong...I'm not saying that you don't know what you're talking about...I just need some verification that I can trust your reccomendations.

dBTelos Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 (edited) If I was certified, I probably wouldn't be helping people at a small forum. Or even a large forum for that matter. I've learned a lot about PSUs from forums and reviews, as well as researching them on websites. I'm just coming here to give you guys that info to either learn or build a system from it. If you don't trust me, you can question me all you want. Edited August 31, 2006 by dBTelos Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I would say the majority of the computer shops in my town are run by uncertified people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
