The Corsair RM650 is the best of the lot, followed by the MWE Gold v2 (the V series v2 is a step up from the MWE v2) and the EVGA GA being the last - note that the EVGA GA is not recommended for nVidia Ampere cards due to the PSU can shut itself down due to transient power spikes from RTX3000 GPUs icon_idea.gif

Found in shopee
Rm650 rm411
Mwe gold v2 rm365

Do u think it is best to go full modular?
Mwe bronze v2 rm225

The Bronze v2 isn't that much of an upgrade over your current unit, the RM650 is a much more substantial upgrade over the MWE Bronze v2 (Tier C -> Tier A) icon_idea.gif

Make sure to get the black label one, like this:

...not the old orange label one, like this:

If you do not need full modular cables, then there are plenty of options out there icon_idea.gif

my case clearance for psu is 160mm ngam ngam can fits the RM650

Btw how to know the tiers of the psu ya? wish to learn something new laugh.gif

currently im using mwe bronze v2 550w, powering rtx 3070 via daisy chain (<--- afraid the cables cannot take it during full load for a longer period, i saw the gpu runs 220w then i quickly stop the gpu usage)

i just came across some used psu (used less than half yr) ppl selling
*Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB 750W
*NZXT C 750w
*Are they good? both selling less than rm350

It's a Tier A unit, but low priority because of improperly set over temperature protection, and power regulation isn't great either:
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/therma...psu,5822-4.html

The NZXT C750 is better because it's based on a newer Seasonic Focus platform (not the older Seasonic Focus that is prone to power trips on high transient power GPUs, like RTX3000 series) icon_idea.gif
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nzxt-c...supply-review/6

However noise performance isn't very good, so keep that in mind icon_idea.gif

Yea, i have bought the NZXT C 750w (but new 1 for peace of mind) cos newer than the Corsair RM icon_idea.gif

Thanks for ur input, i went thru the linustechtips last few days too, now i got the ideal on how the tiers and how to choose a good psu rclxms.gif
