Can I add on 1050ti or 1060 with existing VS450?
Or I needed to upgrade PSU?
Thank you

Shouldn't have issue. Your PSU is old though. May be weaker.

No issue. Those Sub RM200 PSUs are low grade though.

recently bought the Coolermaster MWE 650W.
if anyone got question you can ask me if anyone consider before buying

first impression:
- quiet and doesn't get too hot.
- quite compact for 650w

Here. the review:

Looks like Tier 4 (D grade) PSU.

wta, 2 days ago my mobo Asus gave warning of "VOLTAGE SPIKE" causing the mobo to auto shutdown to prevent damage to hardware.

after googling, some said this feature is problematic and may cause the above issue, hence i disabled it as the PSU does have internal auto-shutdown feature etc.

the above resulting the same auto-shutdown by psu after <30min of gaming @ Metro Exodus with gpu temp at 50C+ and CPU at 60-70C (watercooling).

hence, aside from RMA, which current psu has the best price/performance ratio?

current is Corsair Axi860W, looking at Coolermaster V1000 (or v850 is enough already?) as the review on this is very good for its pricing.

GPU 1080ti
cpu 4770k
HDD - 3 pcs
SSD 2 pcs
Watercooling.

Both under same platform. Super Flower is the OEM.

Seasonic Focus Plus 650W and Corsair TX650M is better than them when it comes to performance.

I don't think it's a Super Flower unit - it's likely to be a FSP unit to say the least icon_idea.gif

The Leadex II Gold is actually better although the EVGA is no slouch either icon_idea.gif

There are actually two variants of the TX650M - one that is made by CWT (80+ Bronze), another is made by Great Wall (80+ Gold) icon_idea.gif

It's a very good unit, although the voltage regulation is not as nice as Seasonic/Super Flower icon_idea.gif

Unfortunately the TX650M is pretty noisy:

The Leadex II Gold is actually better - it's essentially a rebadged EVGA G3 650W, which is 1 tier up compared to the G1+ icon_idea.gif

Answering your question - it's will work just fine icon_idea.gif

You can even power up a GTX1050Ti with a 300W unit icon_idea.gif

Which V850/V1000? Because there are two variants of them, of which one of them is made by Enhance rather than Seasonic icon_idea.gif

Hi guys, I am clueless about power voltage stuff and I am moving to Japan for long term and I have a desktop, using Corsair GS600 and I wonder if it works in Japan due to difference of voltage?

Is it better to buy a new PC there or should I bring mine over to Japan (assuming if the voltage can work fine)

Yes, it will work. Input voltage for GS600 is 94 to 264V

Thanks.

And If I were to buy a new laptop it is better to buy one from Malaysia and bring to Japan right. If I am not wrong Malaysian laptop work in Japan but laptop bought in Japan can't be used in Malaysia because of the high voltage. Correct me if I am wrong.

Laptop is different story and not sure. It depends on the adapter. Check the input voltage.
