QUOTE(myway1985 @ Jun 2 2020, 09:14 AM) seasonic got problem wif warranty.. super flower same grade as nzxt C but warranty 5yrs only Speaking of warranty I remembered that my PSU actually took 4 months to RMA as the distributor no longer carries Seasonic hardware - have to end up RMA with the manufacturer directly  |

QUOTE(calta_xs @ Jun 9 2020, 11:20 PM) Hello everyone, CWT GPS platform, should be an OK unit if you are willing to live with non full Japanese caps (only the main ones are Japanese, although this should be OK as the main capacitors are an easy point of failure) I came across this PSU and was wondering if it's a reliable one. I would be building a PC with R5 3600 and RTX2060. https://shopee.com.my/THERMALTAKE-TOUGHPOWE...9688.3812357774 https://www.eteknix.com/thermaltake-toughpo...upply-review/9/ Voltage regulation and ripple suppression seems good as well, considering its price |

QUOTE(dasoulz @ Jun 23 2020, 11:49 AM) hi guys, came across this very useful thread and i need advice on what PSU to get for my ITX (my casing will support ATX PSU, so not limited to small PSU) Go for a SFX unit like Corsair's SF450 instead as a SFX unit will often come with cable lengths optimized for ITX builds, and the smaller size will mean more room for airflow/cable management AMD Ryzen 3600 / 3300X (most likely with stock fan) GIGABYTE B450 I AORUS PRO WIFI 5600XT 2 x 8 GB RAM 512GB M.2 PCIE 2280 3-4 RGB fans i wont be doing OC-ing. With the above specs, can you recommend me a PSU that falls under these 2 bucket and whether 650w is too much? Below RM400 - A friend recommended FSP HYDRO GD 650w but i cant find much review on this Below RM500 - Online review seems to recommend Corsair RM650w p/s: as i am not a techy guy, im buying my hardware from lowyat (czone). so, i defeinitely dont have access to all the PSU available in online store, etc. czone PSU choice: http://www.compu-zone.com/index.php/price-...ownloads-in-pdf |

QUOTE(Date Masamune @ Jul 3 2020, 03:11 PM) Sry abit newbie about psu , whats the difference between leadex ii and iii and is this psu reliable ( 650w) for long term use? Yes, it is a very reliable unit (one of the best PSU OEMs around, FYI) Leadex II uses mostly Japanese caps (with some Taiwanese Teapos), whereas Leadex III uses full Japanese caps on most parts of the PSU (with the exception of the modular board, which uses Teapo polymer caps) Note though both PSUs are very high quality units and should not pose a problem to your build https://www.techpowerup.com/review/super-fl...50f14eg/13.html https://www.techpowerup.com/review/super-fl...ii-650-w/7.html Also the +5VSB efficiency is better on the Leadex III, but it's not really worth it to get the Leadex III over the Leadex II IMHO This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Jul 3 2020, 03:41 PM Date Masamune liked this post

QUOTE(igx0908 @ Jul 26 2020, 02:13 AM) For the build below, Overkill, and that one is not particularly a good PSU either - go for something like FSP Hydro/Hyper (budget oriented) /Gigabyte P550/Super Flower Leadex Silver instead Ryzen 5 3600 Asrock B550M Steel Legend 16GB 3200 2 M.2 + 2 HDD ZOTAC GTX1050 Ti (No 6 pin) Is Silverstone 600W (SST-ST60F-ES230) / 700W good enough for this build? Thanks That PSU is based on a very old platform, and is known to have out of spec power ripple on minor rails (3.3V and 5V) |

QUOTE(-JC- @ Aug 12 2020, 01:05 PM) Ryzen 5 3600 Leadex III 650W? MSI X570 Tomahawk Corsair H115i 16GB 3200 2 M.2 ZOTAC GTX2060 Any PSU to recommend with budget of 400-ish? Was looking at CM MWE Gold 650W but got a warning from PCPartpicker.. The MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Cooler Master MWE Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it. Thank you. |

QUOTE(N1ck @ Aug 13 2020, 11:02 AM) I have a 1000W Superflower LEADEX Gold 2 used almost 24/7 since 2017. No worries, the Leadex II Gold is one of the best PSUs around, and should have no problem handling that Ran multi GPU GTX970 + GTX1080ti for about a year for some rendering projects but have since reverted to a single GTX970 and idling most of the time. Started something and need lots of rendering power so am gonna get a new rig late this year. ? Planning to run multi GPUs again once the new GPUs come out. Might be pushing a total system usage of around 750w - 850w for long durations. Can I reuse my current PSU safely? This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Aug 13 2020, 11:14 AM |

QUOTE(-JC- @ Aug 20 2020, 03:17 PM) Thanks for the recommendation! I end up buying the XPG Core Reactor 650W 80+ Gold instead (RM415) from shopee. hopefully this isnt a bad choice Yup, this one is a very good choice - in fact one of the best ones you can buy in this budget https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/xpg-co...r-supply-review This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Aug 20 2020, 03:21 PM |
