Hi guys, would appreciate some help with deciding on a PSU for the following specs:-

CPU : Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: GTX 1070 (to be upgraded sometime next year)
MOBO : MSI B550m Mortar.

I've seen the following recommended so far :-
CORSAIR CV650
MWE Bronze v2
Super flower leadex III bronze
SUPERFLOWER Legion GX Pro 80 Plus Gold Semi Modular
super flower silver eco 600W

Are there any other safe and reputable brands for the 650w around RM350 and below range.

If same price just go for superflower 80 plus gold.

Do you mean the Leadex III gold? That one is significantly more expensive than the rest.

Any superflower PSU is good to go. They are few of the top PSU maker.
As for corsair they source their supplier everywhere so if I were you I would not pay for that extra cost.

I've been leaning towards Super Flower myself. However a little confused about the different models that they have. All seem to be around the same price range for the ones I'm looking at and I cant tell the difference between the Legion, Silver Eco and Leadex Bronze

May even just stick with the Cooler Master MWE Bronze V2 to save the headache. Cheaper also lol

If you plan to upgrade to 3080 and above, you need to get a more expensive PSU.

Cm mwe 650w full modular rm339 5yr warranty...new

Ok thanks boss, will consider that.

Btw is it RM339 or RM399. Can't find it at RM339 on shopee

I probably would say the Segotep GP-G/P/T series, but that one appears to be EOL'ed by the distributor (need to ask distributor for confirmation)?

If that's the case I'm leaning towards the Leadex III Bronze, as the Legion GX/HX are essentially a retooled version of their older Golden King units (may need someone knowledgeable about PSUs to confirm this)

Not all Super Flower PSUs are good though, there are plenty of Super Flower units sold in the Korean/Chinese markets that perform badly (and in some cases out of the permitted ATX spec)

Not sure about that but most of superflower PSU are real 80 plus certified, while many other might just claim instead of 80 plus certified. Hence, it still safer buy without looking into internal parts.

Not sure who made the CM WME for cooler master so can't comment without looking into the internal parts.

The superflower leadex III bronze should be old certification which is based on 110V. The new certification will state 230V EU if it is based on 230V. The leadex III bronze should just as good as the new leadex III silver for the price range.

Of course the more expensive is always better if budget allow. Btw, most PSU efficiency works best between 40 to 80 utilisation. So sometimes is better to get lower wattage if you don't plan for power hunger build.

Yeah at the moment I'm leaning towards the Leadex III Bronze as well. Still thinking if its worth considering Silverstone Essential Gold 650W 80PLUS GOLD (RM309) or FSP 650W HYDRO GD 80+ GOLD (RM330) or Cooler Master MWE 650 Bronze V2 PSU, 230V, (RM239).

The CM MWE v2 Bronze seems much cheaper than the other 2.


Any particular SF PSU models to avoid that you know of?

Thanks for the reply. Ive seen a few people suggest the Leadex III bronze so that will be top of my list for now. I planned on the 650w just to be a little future proof

i sell RM339 with pc set

80+ does not dictate quality, just the efficiency of the unit itself

both sf n tat cm is 5yr warranty... no future proof to say... the cm u hope they rosak.. so can claim the mwe v2 gold...

A lot of those low quality ones are not sold here, so don't worry - but if you want a list, here it is:

Super Flower Mega: https://coolenjoy.net/bbs/review/670979?sfl...rflower&sop=and (poor 3.3/5V voltage regulation, old platform, made by CWT: https://blog.naver.com/wls4698/221504897528 )

Eco Bronze King: https://coolenjoy.net/bbs/review/650156?sfl...rflower&sop=and (almost out of spec voltage regulation on the 3.3/5V rail, group regulated platform)

Those are only sold in limited markets such as South Korea and China, and to a lesser extent the Thai market

Ooh good to know they aren't part of the listings here, thank you!

Think I'll go for the leadex III bronze 650W. A little pricier than the others I've listed but quite a few people have suggested it. Reading reviews all over now lol

The XPG Core Reactor 650W is a good one as well
