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 |

QUOTE(hustlerism @ Aug 19 2019, 12:38 AM) 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. Cheap and quality doesn't really mix IMHO Consider the EVGA 500BV if you are short on budget |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Aug 19 2019, 09:31 AM) 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. Just buy it. 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) |

QUOTE(yvliew @ Sep 13 2019, 03:24 AM) COOLER MASTER MASTERWATT 650W TUF good for the system? Ryzen 5 2600 16GB RX 580 8GB Those are made by HEC - not exactly the best OEM IMHO. Here's a review: https://www.kitguru.net/components/power-su...upply-review/6/Decent PSU when it comes to ripple/voltage regulation, but the use of low quality capacitors makes it a difficult recommendation  Not worth it IMHO - might as just pay a bit more for this instead: https://www.lazada.com.my/products/evga-650...554bizbwEu&mp=1There's a 550W variant - but the price gap is about RM30 This unit uses Japanese main capacitors (not 100% though), and component quality is much better on the EVGA unit It's made by FSP, which is a better OEM than HEC BTW This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Sep 13 2019, 11:07 AM |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Sep 14 2019, 11:27 AM) Awful bad sifoo. Japanese caps have high quality. I think got a few more non Japanese brand also good. Yup some Taiwanese caps like newer Teapos are quite good There's a very good reason why higher end units tend to come with full Japanese caps |

QUOTE(Refeus @ Sep 16 2019, 09:34 PM) What is the minimal psu watt to overclock rtx 2070 and ryzen 3800x How much are you willing to overclock however? The Ryzen 3000 series however does not have too much overclocking potential (the boost clocks are more than enough for that, and even with manual overclocking the performance gains are too little) For that, consider a high quality (preferably 80+ Gold rated) 650W unit or even a 750W unit. Look at the Corsair TX650M or the Super Flower Leadex II Gold 650W for starters |

QUOTE(Catnip @ Sep 30 2019, 02:05 AM) My Cooler Master UCP 1100W psu has now degraded after 9+ years of continuous 24/7 use. Plan to replace it with Cooler Master V1000. Looking for better alternatives and suggestions if any before ordering one. Specs of your machine first? I highly doubt you'll need a 1000W unit for modern hardware these days Also, how much are you willing to spend? |

QUOTE(Catnip @ Sep 30 2019, 02:02 PM) According to Outervision PSU calculation for my needs and upcoming upgrade; Recommended PSU wattage is 825W and recommended PSU is: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G+, 80 Plus Gold 1000W. Budget below MYR 800 should be good enough? 🤔 Among other things, when you have trouble cold booting the PC and both 8 pin power led on your primary GPU is blinking. I wonder what setup you are running as 825W seems to suggest that you either run a HEDT platform or even a multi-GPU setup (which is very rare these days) along with heavy overclocking Consider this? https://www.lazada.com.my/products/super-fl...554btDwYsP&mp=1https://www.lazada.com.my/products/seasonic...554bATB5CM&mp=1Here's some review: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/super-flower-sf-750f14eg/https://www.eteknix.com/super-flower-leadex...-supply-review/https://www.jonnyguru.com/blog/2017/07/10/s...w-power-supply/https://www.hardocp.com/article/2018/07/24/..._supply_review/Both are very good PSUs, and it depends on availability and pricing This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Oct 1 2019, 12:09 PM |

QUOTE(kkjoo @ Oct 6 2019, 03:15 PM) I'm using Ryzen 3 3200g and RX 570 in my system. Is this PSU good? https://shopee.com.my/-FSP-HYDRO-GD-80-PLUS...7182.1491377688I can't find any review for it. All the reviews available are for Hydro G or Hydro GE. Alternatively should I go for this? https://shopee.com.my/-SEASONIC-S12-II-430W...7182.1466019264or this https://shopee.com.my/Corsair-CX-M-Series-C...7888.1839186914The Seasonic S12II is based on a very old platform so I can't really recommend it. Corsair's CXM series is not cheap and is not that good in terms of performance either, and it doesn't has 100% Japanese caps Personally the Hydro GD should be a reasonably good buy - the Hydro platform is used on some EVGA units, and is proven to be a decent performer |

QUOTE(Alert_RaZO @ Oct 13 2019, 11:21 PM) Jonsbo t8 Dunno what gpu.. maybe lower than 1k According the to specs sheet it's highly recommended to get a SFX unit. The Corsair SF450 should be a decent pick There's the RTX2060 Mini for RM1299 if you are willing to stretch your budget, or if you can't there's always the Gigabyte GTX1650 Mini for RM699 The PSU should handle either of these GPUs quite well and should fit into the Jonsbo case you've mentioned |
