Personally I'd just read through HardOCP, TechPowerUp and JonnyGuru when it comes to PSU reviews... Tom's Hardware doesn't do a comprehensive test when it comes to PSUs...

BTW, Newegg forums do have a PSU tier list:

any reviews or feedback on this psu ?

thanks bro
im getting 2nd psu from my friend
xigmatek vector 660
just 4mnth used

hope no problem

rm150
and sorry, its 650w btw
full model i dont really know
but from pic given, the PSU are same like this

(this pic not mine)

im dont get it
u meant this psu not official rated ?

btw, i dont mind as long can power up back my hd6950 with stable voltage without damaging my peripherals
die if my my gpu shocked...the only my precious weapon

wattage is just one part. a typical user won't even reach 400w, even with 250w card and 100w cpu.

the issue is more about constant load, in some cases even running a burn in test on graphic card alone would trip the PSU.

RM 150 PSU, regardless of what brand, I wouldn't dare to put them on 24/7 full load like say folding@home and such. nothing more than gaming.

Hi guys, first of all apologies for this super noob question. I am thinking about upgrading my GC. Right now, I'm using Gigabyte GTX670OC. Im planning to get the Zotac reference GTX970. Based on this 2 cards, if I were to swap them, do you think I need to change my power supply as well? Thank you.

Hi bro,

Seems you are an expert in PSUs judging from your posts here 

Can you help to recommend a PSU for me based on this thread?

My desktop is for surfing net and torrent usage. No gaming. Max run from morning until night, no overnight.

Thanks.

Yeah, cap ayam can also tahan for so long...will target the one that u suggested. Thx!

I only concern is whether the new PSU can fit into my ATX casing...

What about Antec's EarthWatts series? Are they any good? I'm looking for a new budget PSU to supply my AMD A10 - 7850K + 8GB DDR3 2400 MHz, with possibly discrete graphic card added in later;(eyeing for AMD R9 285).

my acbel e2 510w has been used for 7 years+ already and i'm planning to get a new one for my newly purchased graphic card，my pc spec as follow:

e5200 oc 3.3ghz
gigabyte ep43 dsrl
kingston value ram 2gb x 2
500gb WD sata hdd x 1
saphhire r7 265x dual-X x 1 (previously is hd 4850)

please recommend me a branded budget psu which below rm200....
thanks in advance~

Anyone know where can get the cheapest SFX PSU? Thinking about building a small itx system.tq

Any other option than silverstone 450 gold that you know of selling here? Thanks

looking for a semi modular/ full modular PSU with 80 gold certified.
budget within RM500, the lower the better. Will use to last for atleast 5 years.
Seasonic or Corsair? kind of confuse dono which model is best.
550w or 650w will do.

Want to upgrade my current Seasonic S12G 650w 80+ Gold because it is non-modular.

thanks for the help of suggestion.

Thank you for the reply. after I google around, I found these model:
Corsair RM650, Seasonic X-650

Just wondering is the Seasonic X-650 cable is flat black modular cable? (prefer flat black instead of Sleeved Black/red/yellow wayar type).

Hi all,

I'm looking for a fully modular PSU for my rig with specs on my sig. Current PSU is working fine but want to upgrade to a modular unit. There's a possibility I'm gonna get another GPU to SLI, so not sure how much watts I will need for that.  Any recommendations < RM700? Preferably lower price if possible.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Will check out both of them

What about the CoolerMaster V850? Or is it wise to spend more for the extra wattage?

Guys need help here..
My friend is building a gaming pc and his specs are as below:

Intel Core i7 4790K
MSI z97 Gaming 7
MSI GTX 970
8GBs of Corsair Dominator Ram
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD
2 Western Digital Blue 1TB
Corsair H100i
Normal DVDRW
7 Fans
4 LED stripss
2 CCFL

His rig is almost the same as mine except that i have more fans and less lighting but im using the Seasonic 760W platinum. He is planning to get either the Corsair HX750i or Corsair HX850i (mainly for corsair link i guess) and he is planning on doing SLI maybe around mid next year.. So i cant give him any advice since i dont know anything about SLI and my Seasonic 760W platinum is serving me very well..

So do give your opinions guys.
Your help is always appreciated.
Thanks guys!
