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.

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 icon_idea.gif

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 icon_idea.gif

It is possible for pc to auto shutdown if the psu with gold rating detect a bad current flow?

Depends on the make and model of the unit icon_idea.gif

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) icon_idea.gif

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 icon_idea.gif

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 icon_idea.gif

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.

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 smile.gif

The CX550M is actually a step down from the Silver ECO you have there icon_idea.gif

Either RMA the unit, or increase your budget to something better icon_idea.gif

Ah I see! 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 sad.gif

Also is it some kind of electrical buzzing sound? Because it might be capacitor whine and it is normal unless the noise is excessive icon_idea.gif

Yes electrical buzzing sound.. like bzzzzzzz
Noise is somehow very annoying but other than that it is working well. Maybe I will just bear with it until I have extra cash to upgrade sad.gif

Should be coil whine or something - is it very loud? hmm.gif

If it's very loud then it might be a good idea to send it back for RMA icon_idea.gif

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) icon_idea.gif

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.

Personally using FSP Hydro GE and Corsair TX650M. Both runs very cool and quiet under load.

If you have the budget for it, go for it. It's a very good unit by Corsair. Shopee is selling them for RM453.

Either the Leadex II Gold, or the TX650M icon_idea.gif

Choose whether which one is cheaper icon_idea.gif

It's a good unit, but for that pricing - you can get a better priced unit (and likely better performing):

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 icon_idea.gif

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 icon_idea.gif

i5 4440
Asus reference r9 290x
1TB HDD
4GB x 2 corsair ddr3 ram
D5 vario pump
3 case fans and 2 radiator fans
Filco keyboard and logitech g403
2 usb 3.0 devices, external HDD and wifi ac usb adapter

Basically its a midrange PC but my psu already broken.. it was a seasonic g550 and felt like barely enough.. im looking for a 650w psu but i saw hx750 only cost few more..

In future, i may replaced other hardwares, and 750w seems like sweet spot for any upgrade later..
