so ive been using a 550w antec PSU since 2006 or some thing its time to upgrade. I want a SFX psu (not interested in SFX-L or ATX at all) would be interested in FlexATX or some weird server format similar size to SFX if a bit longer...
any way one thing I noticed with modern PSU is some just list a single wattage while others list like 650w and then say 700w (max) this makes me really sus about them and make me think the ones that don't list a max are really just 500w psu branded as 600-650w max and that's super deceptive and dumb.
does any one know enough about the documentation they do give to work out what would be best to get. I don't want to overpay because you can get small SFX/flexATX sized psu from china for like 100$ less than the western brands and they are gold80 rated and from servers (noisy but I can change fan).
what psu should I get here is a spreadsheet of some tinyurl com/y9tyhkyu
also I understand SFX and ITX builds are a meme but its the only size psu I want and will just run it with a adaptor in a normal ATX case if small build is too hot.
plan to use it with a 9900k oc to max so maybe 1.3/1.4v and a top end gpu like 250/300w and overclocked as well.
Read the fucking sticker on the side of the PSU, it tells you the ratings
Also, search the catalog next time.

also plan to run it with 2x 2.5inch drives prob 5200rpm or what ever if that adds any significant drain. only other things in system will be maybe 2-3 120mm fans 2ssd and maybe a pci sound card via a m.2 adaptor.. if that matters.
Connor Gonzalez
yes but the sticker isn't true because some only say one rating while others say 500w then manual says 700w (max) doesn't that mean the other 500w psu could really be 400w psu and the sticker is just the MAX rating.
read what I fucking originally typed you sperg.
Oliver Gomez
it is implied you retarded fuck.
THE STICKER IS THE TRUE MAX WATTAGE
Fucking neck yourself you brainlet faggot.
Caleb Martinez
well it wasn't in the past you fucking retard and some modern PSU have sticker for 650w and then say 700w max on the box while others don't list max at all.
that's obviously deceptive shit.
Elijah Perez
by box I mean in manual online spec sheet. the sticker doesn mean max for every brand their is a diference between rated wattage and max wattage. my question is how do I work this out for myself instead of being a sperg like you and buying a 600-700w psu that's really a 450-500w psu rebranded. because they moved the goal posts.
Oliver Allen
so you want a loli psu?
Robert Brooks
just ignore the form factor I want best SFX psu I can get for lowest price and I feel the 600-650w models might be suss and just rebranded 500w ones "rated at max not actual rating"
also want to know how much power ill need for my described components OC'd/.
Gabriel Cooper
obviously with some models there is a bit of extra headroom, that doesn't mean the models that don't advertise that extra wattage headroom are over-reporting their rated wattage. I'm fairly certain on certified electronic equipment that's several kinds of illegal.
