Wow. Really sad your self-esteem is so pathetic that you feel to boost your ego you must join a thread and launch personal insults.

Sad you couldn't instead, maturely debate the technical facts. I pity you.
Did you bother to notice that TPU's owner/Admin attempted to contact the owners of that calculator in order to take over and maintain it here? Or that 20+ other site members "Liked" his proposal? Did you notice out of all the other participants in this thread that only you think it "a laugh" and "nonsense"?
So then by you, 9087127 is right and
everyone else is wrong - yet you say I'm arrogant??
Please provide evidence or some reasoning for your assertion, from many peoples vantage point they have no way of knowing if you are legit or if you have no idea what your talking about .
What difference does it make now? They are shut down.
Nevertheless, did you bother to actually read what I said, or are you just cherry picking points to argue about and toss out personal insults? I mean you even quoted me when I explained the reasoning.
As for me being legit, I'd say my 19 years and 14,000+ posts on this site suggests I might be helpful. The staff surely would not let me stick around if I was prone to giving bad advice, nor would I have received 11 MVP awards for my contributions expressly for helping people. Folks, and you can see for yourself if I might be legit and have a clue about electronics by following the link in my signature - where I also post my real name and real image too.
FTR, I post my credentials, not to brag but so folks can see for themselves if I might know a little about electronics and, hopefully, trust I will not intentionally lead them astray - instead of hiding behind a fake name and avatar. It, again, is certainly is not to brag for there are many eminently more qualified than me, some on this site, some who trained me, some who mentored me over the years.
What is this "graphics card setup" you speak of?
which is exactly why your idea of precise sizing is bogas.
Gee whiz dude! Can't you even quote accurately? And then why do you make false claims based on your false, made up quotes? Pretty sad.
NO WHERE did I say "graphics card setup" yet twice your falsely claimed I did! You misquoted me, then claimed I was wrong. That's dishonest!
Read it again. I said graphics card makers suggest PSU sizes based on some arbitrary setup. And why do they do that? Because they have no clue what CPU we have, our drives, our fans, our RAM, other attached devices, etc. Sorry you don't understand that.
And I NEVER suggested "
precise sizing". I even explained how, and why this calculator was conservative in its recommendations while ensuring it did not suggest an underpowered PSU. Sorry you don't understand that either.
I did say this calculator is the most accurate. And that is true. If you obviously didn't lack experience with it, you would know this calculator listed two values; its calculation totals and its size recommendations. You would see they were not the same and you would know and understand why they were different. I guess ignorance is bliss.

What this biased antiquated guy isn't telling you is you often wan't an oversized PSU for future upgrades
And there's another of your falsehoods. Why post lies everyone can see are not true? Really sad you feel you have to make things up. I first mentioned future upgrades in post #1. Then noted at least twice again that users can easily add extra headroom for future upgrades in post #5 and again in post #20.
Biased? Yes, or course! I was very clear I liked this PSU calculator the best, by far.
There is more to PSU choice than simply having it's size as accurate as possible. Like grade, warrenty perioid, aesthetics.
Wow. Sorry dude but it is you who clearly does not understand the purpose for this thread, or even why one might want to use a PSU calculator.
You might also want to read the last paragraph of my first post.
Aesthetics?

Shame on PSU calculators for not taking aesthetics into consideration when recommending PSU sizes. Yes, that PSU sure is pretty so clearly it must be the better choice.
I must confess, I have been building PCs since the early 2000s and have never heard of a PSU calculator.
Sorry but I cannot account for your obvious lack of experience or knowledge. PSU calculators have been around longer than you claim to have been building computers. Way back in the day, Antec's was the first I was aware of. But they switched to a licensed version of OuterVisions, now off-line too.
Next time you don't like someone's thread, instead of launching a puerile tirade consisting personal insults, misquotes, and false claims, maybe just report it to the staff and let them decide. That said, considering TPU's owner and chief admin participated in this thread, not sure you would have got anywhere.
Now if you want to discuss the topic of the eXtreme OuterVision PSU calculator going away, great! Otherwise, moving on. Have a good day.
