Those are made by HEC - not exactly the best OEM IMHO.  Here's a review:

https://www.kitguru.net/components/power-su...upply-review/6/

Decent PSU when it comes to ripple/voltage regulation, but the use of low quality capacitors makes it a difficult recommendation sweat.gif

Not worth it IMHO - might as just pay a bit more for this instead:
https://www.lazada.com.my/products/evga-650...554bizbwEu&mp=1

There's a 550W variant - but the price gap is about RM30 icon_idea.gif

This unit uses Japanese main capacitors (not 100% though), and component quality is much better on the EVGA unit icon_idea.gif

It's made by FSP, which is a better OEM than HEC BTW icon_idea.gif

Awful bad sifoo. Japanese caps have high quality. I think got a few more non Japanese brand also good.

the life span of the psu is not just caps lah..
is what your h/w can handle
for example, OVER clOCK case
as, a forummer sold a p45 neo 3 fr to me, many yrs back
the smell of the board, like fried chicken that is overcook
A new bie with no exp at o.cing a system will damage a lot of parts, ler..
& Tq, for the reply , bro tristanxx

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.

Dear.taikos

I had a.pc with  amd 5600x and 3080 on a  Seasonic 850w platinum

https://seasonic.com/platinum-xp2-xp3 ; bought probably 5 yrs ago

Question : my PC randomly shutdown ... Sometimes when in Ms Teams and sometimes during gaming
I suspect it's PSU because it's shutdown instead reboot...

U guys think it's the PSU aging?

Who is the official distributor of Seasonic power supply in Malaysia? I saw Seasonic Vertex GX-1200 has stocks in Newegg..is it safe to buy there? Just wonder if there's any international warranty..

Its the overall noise level of these PSU while in operation, Im guessing that once the fan kicks in its noise would have drown out coil whine so if you cannot tahan this then a higher fan noise level would be worse in your situation.

In that case, going back to a lower wattage unit will be 'quieter' for your usage (that incudes coil whine & fan noise).
