QUOTE(steevan1000 @ Jul 25 2019, 10:30 AM) hope some sifu can enlighten me full modular, semi modular & non modular PSU what's the difference? Full modular -> All cables can be removed from the unit Semi modular -> Some cables can be removed, but some cable are permanently attached to the unit and cannot be removed Non-modular -> No cables can be removed from the unit

Full Modular cables don't make sense, because no matter how ATX / CPU cables is a must to operate.
Only useful if say you need to do some fancy routing and your PSU connection point is accessible.

For bling bling. Can change to sleeved cables or LED cables. Standard cables are not aesthetically pleasing so only fully modular for me.

I have narrowed down to 2 PSU that i would like to buy
1. Corsair RM650x
2. Seasonic Focus Plus 650x
Initially i wanted to wait longer for Seasonic 2019 refresh but i wanna replace my PSU if possible immediately.
Based on Cybenetics, RM650x are quieter than the latter. (Seasonic start to make more noise after 400-450w)
Im if some of you could share some insight on both of this unit that i may have left out or people who actually use them.

Using RM750X, indeed a superb unit. Super quiet and cooling under load. Been using it for about 2 years now.

Guys, are there any reliable power supply for 500W that is cheap (around RM1xx)?
My old FSP Hexa 500W which is already 7 years+ is so noisy now.

Quality comes with the price. High quality electronic parts inside power supply does not come cheap. Most quality models will use Japanese capacitors. They are top quality. Also, a RM400 650W weight is heavier than RM150 650W. QUOTE(hustlerism @ Aug 19 2019, 08:33 AM) What about the newer version of FSP Hexa? Just buy it. I think FSP is still the best low budget PSU.

I think FSP is still the best low budget PSU. ...and often comes with modern circuitry as well  Despite power consumption of modern hardware has dropped significantly - it's still extremely important to spend a bit more on a proper PSU. Skimping on the PSU can have dangerous consequences (you may risk damaging the rest of the hardware if a cheap unit is used)

Hi guys. Need some advice here.
My computer has stop working after I do room cleaning the computer won’t boot up after that. Keep on restart without going to main windows.
After several tried with remove the gpu. It can be boot in to the system and windows. So I have also brought a new gpu to test the system. It can’t be work as well. After removing that gpu. It is working with lagging movement when I plug into motherboard graphic card
Need some advice. Is that my motherboard or psi issue?
P/s : before this it is working well without any issue.

Reinstall the RAM. And what is the full PC spec? That is if you want PSU recommendation.
