Considering how dramatic cheap shit power supplies can go out, its not worth saving $50 if it blows up half your hardware when it dies in 6 months.
Is it worth it buying the best power supply?
Give links or sshots of other tiers pls
The PSU is the last thing you should cheap out on
though you shouldnt get a $200 one if you dont need it, theres a tier list and Id say to get one in tier 1, 2, or 3
if you get a really cheap PSU (like one from a company youve never heard of) it can break and take all of your components with it
dont get fanless if you have like a gaming PC
>TFW got EVGA G2 for only $50
Wrong. Unless your gaming PC uses 700W or something.
Most don't even use over 400W and fanless PSUs handle that just fine.
As long as you have the bare minimum of case airflow (which you do, unless you did something really stupid) it's not an issue at all.
>mfw getting a new Corsair SF600 for $40 after almost buying a cheap SFX psu for $35 from newegg
I needed a small psu to build a mini pc for my mom as a Christmas gift but getting the SF600 at this price makes me want to keep it and do a whole new build for myself
why fanless? it will make zero noise but fan designs also make barely audible noise and they are slightly cooler
seasonic with the fan might last longer, but even the fanless probably already lasts at least 5 years.. but still I dont see a reason to not take the fan too
>why fanless?
Because it means you will never have to worry about the fan failing or becoming noisy, ever. The peace of mind alone is worth it, even if you ignore noise.
Keep in mind most PSUs used in electronics are fanless.
