I think there should be a PSU forum under the hardware section of this forum. There have been a lot of PSU related questions in here lately.
 
Where can i suggest this because i couldn't find anywhere? I'm surprised it's not there already...

I've sent them a suggestion by the "Contact Us" at the bottom of the forum page.

I'll raise this as a suggestion.

However, The PSU is at the hub of all systems; new builds, old systems, faulty systems and so on. It's use is more generic. Plus another Forum means the knowledge is going to be even more thinly spread.

True. Maybe there should be a poll for everyone to vote on it? Get the whole community involved.

While true for the most part the "argument" against it is that there are already different sections for nearly everything else like RAM, video cards, cases etc. The PSU is such an important piece of the computer puzzle so to speak and as many here will probably ates to is that it is one thing that many people simply overlook.

I really like this idea and I hope it comes about :) thanks Huddy for anything you can do to make this happen ;)

psu section would be a bad idea because it wouldn't be very oftern visited and so advise would be a lot slower. Just like the mobo and ram sections are full of threads with no replies.
 
PSU thread would be a bad idea.

There is always an argument between people who insist on building a £1500 PC and powering it with a £40 PSU and those who do it properly..
 
I know i would visit the PSU section a lot because i'm alright with giving advise with PSU's but thats just 1 person... I think it should be done because all of the other components to build a pc are there except the PSU.
 
I can see the use of it, but the RAM section is almost empty much of the time, and past a certain point when 'buy a Corsair' has been rammed down peoples throats enough times, it's going to be pointless. Maybe a PSU thread stickied at the top of the General Hardware forum, with recommendations for certain budgets/set-ups on the first page.

It's a good idea but i doubt it would get used loads, People will still post asking about PSU's for their build or PSU troubleshooting problems.

not a thread, an actual sub-forum in the hardware section that people can post threads regarding the psu

(that argument will never finish :p )
 
My personal opinion is that we should not have the extra forum.

PSU's can be a tricky thing to know when they are failing and such problems.
If you want members to suggest a PSU then it goes in the General area anyway.
If we have a dedicated forum for PSU's then it will end up being fille with topics that are
not actually relevant to a PSU at all just a "suspected" PSU problem.
 
+1 for Marvin's suggestion. There isn't a whole lot of discussion regarding PSU's. Also, there will be more people who will give their 2 pence on a PSU thread in GH, but less in a dedicated PSU section, since it'll mostly end up full of Spec me threads. I think it'd be similar to the Price Checks section of the MM.

+1, was looking for something like this myself when shopping for my first build. Would have been very useful.
 
A seperate section on psu's would be a good idea. I think a lot of first timers would find it useful, as well as seasoned builders who are looking for extra info.
