Better performance, performance per watt, security (see the amount of security vulnerabilities on Intel) and upgradability (the 10th gen Intel chips will require a new motherboard mind you, unlike AM4 platform which can be upgraded to upcoming Zen 3 CPUs with a BIOS update and a CPU swap)

Low powered CPUs (i.e. the T models) trade off performance for power efficiency and heat output, and note that T models are generally not sold on the retail market (they are meant for the OEM market FYI)

If you are talking about their B450 boards then not really

Stick with something like ASRock's B450(M) Pro4 or the Gaming K4 instead

These boards have some of the best VRMs at the price range

P.S. this is a PSU discussion so I'd recommend you to open a new thread if you are asking about hardware recommendations

Some additional PSU review websites (sometimes reviewing PSUs that are not available in more developed markets) :

Your machine specs at the moment?

Also, how much are you willing to spend on the PSU?

If you have that budget why not a Leadex II Gold 650W

Of course, if you wanted a cheaper unit then the Gigabyte P650B is a good one as well (DotaTech sells it at RM325):

Reviews in Chinese:
https://www.expreview.com/59243.html

Summary:
1. Full Japanese caps
2. Tight voltage regulation, but voltage regulation on 3.3V and 5V can be better
3. Very low ripple suppresion, although ripple performance at 3.3V and 5V rail can be improved further

Overall, it's a very good PSU with a decent value

Ah, I almost forget that the Leadex II does not have full Japanese caps

This is normal, as the modular board has very little electrical load, and the caps on the board are polymer type rather than the electrolytic ones which can become bloated and fail

Even my Seasonic doesn't use full Japanese caps either (mine is a mixture of Japanese and Korean capacitors)

Also, depending on the load a higher wattage PSU can sometimes mean less strain on the components, generating less heat and keeping its fan quiet

Another PSU review site, this time from Vietnam (requires Google Translate):

Still no better than the one you mentioned above

Anyway, never skimp on the PSU and spend a bit more on a decent one

Spend a bit more for this Gigabyte unit:

Review (in Chinese):
https://www.expreview.com/59243-3.html

Summary:

1. Modern DC-DC topology
2. Tight voltage regulation on the +12V rail
3. Good voltage regulation on the +3.3V and the 5V rail, however this can be further improved
4. Very good ripple suppression
5. Full Japanese capacitors

Yup that's a good one

How much are you willing to spend on a PSU though?

Get the Gigabyte P650B instead - it is one of the best performing PSUs of this price range

No mention of your budget or the exact make and model of the PSU? Your PC's full specs?

Spend a little bit more for a Gigabyte P650B instead

Comes with full Japanese caps as well too

No, note that the PSU will only supply the needed power required by your components

In fact, running a higher wattage PSU sometimes may lead to less load on the PSU itself, which means leads to lower noise levels and better longevity (still very much depends on the quality on the unit itself)

Possible price/performance champion of 650W PSUs?

https://shopee.com.my/-NZXT-C-Series-650W-7...7182.6331309937

NZXT C series, Seasonic OEM

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nzxt-kick...-rgb-controller

RM409 for 650W

Even comes with zero RPM fan mode as well

Budget and your current PC hardware?

Yup, should be a very good unit

Any high quality 650W should do the trick fine, so look for something in the line of the Leadex III Gold
