If it were you
and your desktop died… and you were told by loads of people it was either your power supply or motherboard and you took your power supply in to get tested and it supposedly works fine (but they wouldn’t know if it spikes or anything)… Would you… A) Get a used replacement old motherboard and hope it works ok B) Get a new power supply and hope it really was the power supply after all (which… if it was wouldn’t it have toasted the mb anyway? or… I dunno) C) Try to get funds together to get a new mb/processor/ram and kinda start fresh
My current parts are hand-me-downs and are about 8 years old. It runs the sims ok, struggles a smidge with my addiction to CC/mods but really struggles with Cities Skylines and a bit with large maps of Civ.
