Depending on the case you might want to look at SFX PSUs, but not cheap though. Corsair SF450 - RM365 (You will need a SFX to ATX adapter, which Corsair sells for RM26 here if the case accepts ATX PSUs).

Here is my spec: gigabyte z68x I7 2600k OCed corsair H100 8GB ram 2 SSD 2 HDD GTX 970 is my PSU good enough? Thanks. BTW, what is your clocks of the i7 and the voltage of that chip? |

QUOTE(wokies @ Jul 29 2016, 10:10 PM) no money for branded one...the price different quite alot..huhu..but anyway...im curious at the labeling..if we want to select psu, the one mention +12v watt is the correct ways is it?..found many 550w. but the combine +12v only 432w.. Might as just well save up and get a proper one. A Seasonic S12II 620W costs around RM300, and this is made by one of the best PSU manufacturers around. Comes with full Japanese capacitors as well. |

QUOTE(Skylinestar @ Apr 8 2017, 06:16 PM) Anyone has experience with RMA-ing a Corsair PSU? Which power cable? The modular cables or the three pinned fat cables (which can be used on a monitor or rice cooker) Do you need to return the original power cable? The problem is I don't know which power cable in my house is the one that comes bundled with the PSU. |

QUOTE(ace-user @ Dec 18 2017, 07:03 PM) Hi sifus, I built a gaming pc few weeks ago and got a vs550 psu. It makes squeaking noise for a while when booting up and sometimes squeaks when performing certain tasks (or randomly). May I know if this is normal? What kind of noise? Mind taking a video about this problem?Perhaps this is something like coil whine or a fan noise issue |

Hopefully this is the last RMA for this unit Thank goodness for 5 years warranty Even worst still each RMA takes around 3-4 months to complete because distributor issue Oddly enough I have two Seasonic units (S12II 620W and M12II 520W) that still worked fine This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Mar 21 2018, 05:40 PM |

QUOTE(arslow @ Mar 21 2018, 08:46 PM) Does anyone know what happened to high capacity power supplies? Kena makan by miners too?? Perhaps, considering the shortage of GPUs Having a hard time to find hx/hxi 1000 or 1200 PSU Super flower was my first choice but they have an awfully low number of sata power cables and i dont trust molex adapters. Even evga supernova p2 seems like it has dissapeared from MY? Need at least 12 sata connectors for my threadripper nas build Anyway - consider a high quality molex connector instead - usually most molex to SATA connectors tend to caught on fire due to poor quality: https://www.silverstonetek.com.tw/product.p...pid=545&area=en https://www.silverstonetek.com.tw/product.p...pid=383&area=en Alternatives: EVGA Supernova G2/G3 (or look for the Super Flower equivalent - Leadex Gold or the second revision, Leadex Gold II) |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Sep 17 2018, 01:57 PM) Seasonic S12ii is known for using full Japanese caps. It can last longer. Super Flower is 80+ Silver certified and fully modular though. Full Japanese caps doesn't always mean better longevity. The problem is the Seasonic S12II is based on an older platform, i.e. group regulated and double-forward design. This makes it unsuitable for modern machines https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/858096...or-later-years/ It's also worth noting that Super Flower is the OEM behind some of the best PSUs in the market |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Oct 20 2018, 06:04 PM) I'm running i7-6700T and Gigabyte Z170 Ultra Gaming with 1 graphic card. No issue for Seasonic M12 II(same parts as S12 II) 520W. Modular board has very low load and the caps are polymer so it's not that much of a concern 2 years past the warranty. Still kicking. Japanese caps helps the PSU last longer. Super Flower Platform has Japanese caps too. Only the modular board isn't. Super Flower is a tier 1 PSU maker (at the same level with Seasonic), and I highly doubt they will use some very low grade components on the modular PCB Also modular cables are great for keeping your case internals as tidy as possible, especially in smaller cases This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Oct 20 2018, 09:07 PM |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Oct 20 2018, 11:13 PM) Yes, they did put low grade caps. Its Crapxon! I wouldn't worried that much - the capacitor is dealing with very little load and power http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=...Story5&reid=370 Unfortunately the problem with the Leadex Gold is not about the capacitor though, but it has something to do with the hold up time with the unit. The EVGA equivalent, the Supernova G2 is essentially a lightly-modified variant of the Leadex, does not have the hold up time issue However, it's not something you should really worried about, and I highly doubt it will mess your hardware up Not to mention warranty too - I'm currently on my 3rd unit (G-550), as the previous 2 units have failed and each RMA took me about 4-5 months due to the fact that there are no official distributors that handles my RMA at that time This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Oct 21 2018, 02:14 AM |

QUOTE(IcyDarling @ Nov 28 2018, 11:06 AM) I intend to keep the power supply unit. Just looking to replace to power cable from PSU to electrical socket. Worried that there are some specs that I need to take note of. The power supply is working, but I can't bear to always needing a universal adapter to plug into the socket It has worldwide power input i.e. 100-240V as TristanX said, so all you need is either an universal adapter, or buy a power supply cable here (note that the power cables used by PC power supplies are IEC C13/C14 cables) |

Just a heads up:
For those who want to read actual PSU reviews (like those reviews TechPowerup made), the well-known Chinese reviewer Expreview has started his own site: http://www.fcpowerup.com itocp.com is also a good one too, and these two websites often review PSUs that are not sold in western markets (usually such units are sold here as well) This website is a good one for PSU platforms too http://www.orionpsudb.com This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Nov 29 2018, 10:39 PM |
