your two points that a
A) it is a crappy PSU if it does not have a CPI-E power connection
and
Forgive me for skimming his post and simply assuming that since he was talking about a PCIe cable he was looking for a PCIe cable to plug into his video card. My point (that I've made three times now) is that if your video card needs a PCIe cable and you bought a PSU that doesn't have one, you got a crappy PSU and should get a different one. This was the (false) assumption I was making in that first post. How many times do I need to clarify this?
B) it can cause a house to burn down
You're not familiar with what hyperbole means, are you? It's not meant to be taken literally, it's an exaggeration meant to drive a point home (that point being don't skimp on the PSU, which many novice builders do). You're just so invested in proving me wrong you can't let go of anything here and will argue every single thing I say.
I knew a guy like you back in college. He'd argue about anything, and was an expert in any subject that was pulled in tangentially. Anything you pointed out he would argue with, even widely accepted facts (like, your garbage about electrical fires). If you kept up long enough, he'd just claim the whole thing was stupid so he could drop it without having to admit he was wrong about anything. He wasn't a lot of fun to be around.
no trying to change the point or twist what i said can amend that.
I haven't changed my point at all, you just refuse to accept that my point is anything but your own narrow interpretation so you can come in and act superior. Hell, I've repeatedly admitted being wrong about his PSU as a result of my false assumption. What do you want, a written letter of apology that I ever stated something that was in disagreement with you, oh god of the forums?
And twist your words? I twisted nothing. You stated very clearly that it is impossible to start a fire with a faulty PSU (false), stated that you need high power output to start a fire (also false) and suggested very strongly that the only potential cause of an electrical was faulty house wiring (even more false). When confronted with how laughably wrong these points are, you just hide behind the guise of me twisting your words? Your ego is totally out of control, dude.
I've admitted (repeatedly) that I was wrong about the OP's PSU. Time for you to admit what you said about electrical fires was patently false and that you've been beating a dead horse for the sake of your fragile ego.
do not give advice unless you know what you are talking about.
You might consider taking your own advice, mister electrical safety expert.
Maybe you should tour the country advising fire departments. I hear they've been telling people not to overload electrical sockets and be sure not to use frayed wires or run extension cords under rugs because of the fire risk. Seems they're wrong, though, because none of that is high power or household wiring. Don't want to spread any misinformation, right?
