The Leadex Platinum is better simply because it has LLC+DC-DC, rather than the ACRF primary on the EVGA (the ACRF design on the EVGA can lead to things like coil whine on high transient power GPUs like the 3080Ti, due to hard switching), but the Super Flower has no proper reviews so might be better to pick another one icon_idea.gif

However the Leadex Platinum SE is listed as a Tier A PSU, so it might be fine icon_idea.gif

Also I think the G+ is EOL'ed, if the tier list is correct hmm.gif

...also do you really need 1kW PSUs?  You can power something like an entry level HEDT build with it sweat.gif

For RM1K - there are better choices out there, like this:

IMHO a 850W unit should be fine for your machine, and the 3080Ti isn't worth it pricing-wise (the vanilla 3080 is better) icon_idea.gif

Quite a few, probably these should do the trick:

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/adata-xp...8dKyuV&search=1
(XPG Core Reactor, probably the best unit out there)

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/super-fl...554bCmUFqB&mp=1
(Leadex III Gold)

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/cooler-m...21fRVk&search=1
(Cooler Master V850 v2)

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/msi-mpg-...LBwCoK&search=1
(MSI A850GF, note this one is a multirail unit so no daisy chaining)

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/nzxt-c-s...B7U9gE&search=1
(NZXT C850, essentially a Seasonic Focus rebrand)

Dear All Sifus,

I have a PC around 10 years+ and those are my CPU spec :

1.Processor Intel Xeon E3-1230
2.Graphic Card AMD Radeon HD 7870
3.Motherboard Intel Desktop Board DH77KC
4.RAM               DDR3
5.Data storage SSD SATA x 2, HDD SATA x 3
6.Cooling Fans 120mm x 5 (no LED)
7. PSU               Seasonic S12II Bronze 620W
Problem : Hardly to turn on the CPU. If i success turn on and it will turn off again once enter to window
I suspect it's PSU problem. Is that the PSU aging or problem ?
Any PSU recommend for me (if it is the PSU Problem)

Thank you very much
*
does you have try to just enter bios and let the pc idle for 5 min to see it will auto off again or just remain on ?
if really is psu giving the problem, event you are in BIOS, the pc will still auto off

i fail to check the cpu temperature because it shut down when i go in bios mode.
so now mean either is PSU problem or CPU temperature over high, right ?

maybe also, but there still other possiblility cause by other hardware.

if you really can't troubleshooting by yourself better take to nearest computer shop and let them check for you.
