Hi any one can recommend PSU rated 400-500W, cheap and reliable? my FSP 400W fan already making alot of noise and random restart (already used for more than 5yrs). many thanks

p.s. if less than RM100 will be good.

Given both platinum rated psu as option below. I believe both psu in term of reliability, quality are quite equal and I check review both are built by CWT. and shud be tier 1 rated. My current psu is Seasonic X660w Gold Rated, I want to upgrade to platinum rated PSU before upgrading my rig. titanium rated is too exp.

thermal take tough power grand rgb 1200w RM910
corsair Hx 1200w RM1037

Thanks a bunch.


edited, its HX model not HXI

What are the better unit that you could recommend? I am surveying for psu, why platinum ya...already have 2 corsair hx which is platinum so I guess just find the same platinum rated psu. Not keen on corsair hx as they cable sucks. Thinking of the fd ions plus as their cable is soft. Easier to tidy the cables but would be open for other choices too.

It's a high quality unit (although overcurrent protection is set too high), but why 80+ Platinum? hmm.gif

Tier A blue on the tier list:

If you can go for less efficient units there are lots of options to choose from at a lower price (and possibly better quality too) icon_idea.gif

Is there a reason to replace a psu that's 10 years old? Everything is still running fine.

I see the corsair rmx 850w is around the same price as fd ion 860w. The cable ain't good for cable management. Hx is just around 60~80 more expensive. Any other quality psu to recomend around rm600

Corsair RMx, but in cable capacitors can become a problem for cable management sweat.gif

But the efficiency difference between gold and platinum is not very noticeable anyway in the real world icon_idea.gif

Leadex III Gold/Cooler Master V V2/XPG Core Reactor/NZXT C or the Corsair RM (non-X) are good choices:

Those should have professional reviews too icon_idea.gif
