I've just looked up at the FSP Hexa 500W that is usually recommended here, and I saw this: "Capxon LP Primary capacitor". I thought that Capxon is not generally not recommended?

Hexa 550W enough to power up X3 8650 + HD6950?

Summoning Minecrafter and chocobo7779

thanks. was wondering of getting an used 6950 from ipmart because it is pretty cheap yet with pretty good performance

what is the sweet point for psu atm? I'm planning to run a pc for 24x7x365 so I'm planning to get a better psu to replace the FSP Hexa+ 550w that I'm currently using.

Budget: RM300 (willing to go more if needed)
System power usage: ~60+ watt on idle, < 150w on full load, but mostly idle (e3 1231v3 + 1hdd + 3 case fan + 2 lan + 1 pendrive)
Features that I'm looking for:
1. Semi modular/modular (better airflow and cable management)
2. Prefer to get a psu that is lower in power for better efficiency, but not too low as it would spin the fans and be noisy (the pc is currently as silent as I wanted it to)

Thanks for the reply how much more is more (from what you've shared, the difference between Silver and Gold is RM80 and so I assume that is the more?) and what do you mean by semi passive mode?

EDIT: and where did you get this pricing from? I see that Super Flower Leadex Gold Full Modular PSU 550W is sold for RM425 at lazada

ah, am I correct that the super flower leadex gold psu is a tier 1 psu (https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048...r-list-updated/)?

just out of curiosity, any psu that you would recommend at qoo10? Cashback is higher there

EDIT: and I realized there's a leadex II edition, is it significantly better or marginally?

The one that you recommended currently is leadex and not leadex II, is it worth the 36 ringgit difference?

leadex gold seems to have some issues though https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/585894...uent-brownouts/, although it should not affect me much as I'm staying at kl (with way lesser blackouts)

any other inputs that you can provide?
