I always suggest get the highest rated PSU u can afford
PSU isn't going to need upgrade... I've invest in 850w seasonic platinum PSU about 5 yrs back.. even with many many upgrade.. I don't need to change PSU And with the platinum rating it's super efficient even when o/c My advise get Min 650watt gold rating... If u plan tp get new PSU.. |

QUOTE(MagnificM @ Dec 15 2020, 08:01 PM) i see, thanks for the suggestions, will consider those power supplies my suggestion is get the HIGHEST Powered with HIGHEST EFFICIENCY PSU you can afford.  PSU is NOT LIKE CPU/GFX card where you need to change often.. A good one can last you a LIFETIME... FYI I've been using Seasonic 860W Platinum for >6 yrs ; and survived 3 generations of an upgrade of CPU&GPU.. it scales accordingly when upgrade You may regret getting 'just enough' for your current rig.. but ended up spending a new PSU when you upgrade your CPU/GPU in the next couple of years... I did pay close to RM900 back then for this Platinum efficiency 860W PSU ; but I don't have to change 3x PSU and I saved upfront on bill electricity... |

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? |

QUOTE(babylon52281 @ Aug 7 2024, 10:15 AM) Its natural that a single personal experience will have biased POV on any brand even for well establish ones, can see Asus now facing this issue. My FSP HV Pro PSU been working normal for past 2.5 years but also I can vouch for the cap ayam PSU in my older PC 10 years havent died yet. So i guess personal experience can differ. haha. I used Seasonic platinum 850w for about 8 yrs.. then diedOtherwise, I havent heard anything bad about Seasonic(Silverstone) so you could give them a try. Now change to FSP Hydro G 1000w atx 3(less than a year) My point is find some reputable brand ..at least listed in cybernetics |
