Hmm then if I bump up my budget a little, what is the minimum recommendation from you at price between 300-400?
You should be able to get Corsair TX650M at RM400 if you haggle for the prices.The newbie guide to power supply units, Questions and comments are welcomed

QUOTE(N1ck @ Mar 29 2019, 06:38 PM) Nope, only integrated for this build. I guess Ill just have to get the EVGA W2 500W, can't find anything lower unless its for SFF builds. Kinda wasted though, total system power won't even exceed 150W. That's actually incorrect - the PSU will only supply the wattage needed by the system In fact a quality, higher wattage unit can be beneficial due to the fact that the PSU is less stressed, which means better longevity. It also means that the fans will spin at a lower speed, contributing to lower noise |

QUOTE(pjsplayez @ Mar 31 2019, 10:07 AM) Depends on the make and model of the unit An auto-shutdown due to bad current flow is definitely possible if your unit has some form of protection, such as over-current protection (OCP) |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Apr 6 2019, 11:11 AM) Corsair TX650M is better than that 2. Not fully modular though. Another option is Seasonic Focus Plus. The TX650M (Great Wall OEM, custom design by Corsair) and the Leadex II Gold have very similar performance and pricing EVGA rebrands the Leadex II Gold as their G3 PSUs (with some minor modifications), and it is considered one of the best PSUs at this price point http://www.orionpsudb.com/evga |

QUOTE(zellleonhart @ Apr 6 2019, 03:02 PM) Hi, I am planning to change my PSU as my current Super Flower Silver Eco 550w has buzzing issue, want to RMA it but will take a long time. The CX550M is actually a step down from the Silver ECO you have there I am using Ryzen 5 2600 + RX 470, not a gamer but I know a good PSU is a must have. I have 3 HDD with important files inside so I cannot afford my PSU to screw up my PC. My budget is around RM300, currently thinking about the Corsair CX550M. Is there a better choice at this price range? Don't need modular but I want to look for the best PSU in malaysia at RM300+-. Thanks in advance Either RMA the unit, or increase your budget to something better |

I don't mind RMA it but I will have a down time (few weeks to 1-2 months) if the RMA is slow.. and my issue with buzzing can't be purposely replicated, also not sure if they will honour my RMA Either RMA the unit, or increase your budget to something better |

Because it might be capacitor whine and it is normal unless the noise is excessive |

Maybe I will just bear with it until I have extra cash to upgrade |

The EVGA G+ 650W gets reviewed on Expreview:
https://www.expreview.com/65731.html The reviews is in Chinese (you may need to use Google Translate if you can't read Chinese), but in summary: 1. FSP is the OEM behind the unit 2. Japanese main capacitors (Chemi-con) 3. Japanese secondary capacitors (Rubycon/Chemi-con) 4. Very good voltage regulation on +12V, +5V and +3.3V rail 5. Ripple is very good on the +12V rail, but ripple on the +3.3V and +5V rail can be improved (about 23mV and 24mV, but still very much within the 50mV limit set by Intel) 6. Hold-up time is very good Overall it's a very good unit, with the minor problem being ripple performance on the +3.3V and the +5V rail (again, not a problem as it is still within Intel's standard) This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Apr 8 2019, 01:35 AM |

Hi all,
Is it worth to get an Corsair RM650x for my system? It is selling for around RM480 in Malaysia. I plan to get upcoming ryzen 5 and RTX 2070 for my build. |

It is selling for around RM480 in Malaysia. I plan to get upcoming ryzen 5 and RTX 2070 for my build. https://www.lazada.com.my/products/super-fl...554bm7RT1G&mp=1 The Super Flower unit I've linked above is rebadged by EVGA as their SuperNova G3 unit Also, a RTX 2070 does not consume a lot of power - you can even step it down to a 550W/600W quality unit and it will likely do just fine, although if you intend to overclock then you may want a 650W unit for additional headroom This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Jun 12 2019, 01:00 PM |
