every brand, every model of psu is shit. no one has made a good psu
there is not ONE good company that can consistently make an actual solid, reliable, efficient psu that is up to spec and wont blow out your entire system after 2 years
>evga overpriced chink tier psus that fry your system after 2 years even with high end models >corsair literal handg renades lmao >seasonic same fucking two issues for EVERY model its either fan cracking or 3.3v rail, shitty >antec chink tier psu, models still frequently doa and failing inexplicably with no signs of change, plagued with fan issues
>any chink brand (lmao what a joke) bitfenix coolermaster raidmax be quiet thermaltake (lmao) rosewill (double lol) coolmax kentek
there is no END to these trash can copy cat chinks pushing their pajeet tier explosive psus on the market
anyways, the point of this thread there is not one good brand of ATX psus, prove me wrong you can't. fags.
i don't know where you losers get off shilling corsair psus, i don't know WHY you people go and buy the same brand of psu that failed you when that shit breaks in 2 years dumbass zoomer goys
Christopher Smith
'I tried the cheapest PSU from every manufacturer, and paired it with a strong PC, and it didn't work!!! I AM A STUPID RETARD REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'
EVGA, Corsair, SeaSonic, Antec, CoolerMaster, beQuiet!, Thermaltake, and some others (some in your chink list are trash) all make incredibly decent PSUs, but they also make some pretty bad ones. Don't go for the bad ones. Simple as that.
If you want your PSU to last 10 years, go for a Corsair RMx, SeaSonic Prime, beQuiet! Dark Power Pro 11, NZXT E series, Aerocool Project 7, Bitfenix Formula Gold/Whisper.
Jordan Gutierrez
Also, beQuiet! is a German brand. So they're the Jow Forums approved PSU manufacturer.
Noah Roberts
This one has been working for 9 years now, and will be in the new build aswell.
jokes aside, ive been using nothing but turbo shit incredibly low end power supplies for years in every pc ive put together without problem all of them are still doing fine, thermaltake tr-2 shit, smartpower models, corsair builder series, early bequiet units, even things like apevia and insignia power supplies, still doin fine
for your next build i wouldnt do that unless you want your build to last less than 3-5y or to potentially damage your hardware a corsair CX or system power 9 is a relatively good quality power supply for pretty cheap
Anthony Turner
get an ax1200, not the axi.
Jaxson Flores
So, since this is a PSU thread, got any recommendations for a 500W Bronze or higher for $50-$80?
>newegg.com/seasonic-focus-550-gold-ssr-550fm-550w/p/N82E16817151203 i had a bad experience with my last seasonic, it broke every year and was a $100 one. But I just got this one and it has been working... for the 1 month i've had it... At least seasonic will send you a new one pretty fast under warranty... but then they switch to refurbs.
Michael Nelson
I actually got a DOA refurb under warranty from Seasonic.. OP is completely right. Everything sucks
Isaiah Carter
>corsair >working do you even know how to check electrical equipment lmao please run that psu at 90% load for a day and record it i promise you it will blow up uhhh idiot? i only buy gold and similar psus but even those are a waste because chinks purposely engineer these to fail i literally have a seasonic prime 750w for 2 months now and it is already having issues with its 3.3v rail and cant deliver enough power to my 1070 lmao
Andrew Allen
every single psu you are recommending has a multitude of reports of them blowing out and taking expensive hardware with them in 2years or under nice
Luke Wright
I've had my Seasonic X850 Gold for like 8 years, it still works just fine and been through 3 builds, it'll be 4 builds in a few weeks.
You what? Corsair are rebranded Seasonic if anything. Like all of the Corsair PSUs are made by Seasonic
Adam Jenkins
Why would I push it to 90%? That's not what it was bought for, it should have no problems at 80% load and the last time I measured, it was pulling around 350-400W max from the socket.
Lucas Wood
What kind of dumb nigger thread is this? Seasonic problems from ancient history and no mention of super flower at all?
Kevin Sanders
not anymore. rm series is cwt. tx series is greatwall.
David Flores
>Like all of the Corsair PSUs are made by Seasonic I want this meme to end, more than half of Corsair's PSUs are from CWT.
Aaron Murphy
Seasonic, Delta and Super Flower are top tier in my books. FSP was pretty good too but I haven't heard from them in forever.
Justin Reed
Enermax?
Benjamin Scott
the amount of acceptable exploding and failing psus is 0, shill
Jayden Morales
Perhaps if you want cheapest PSU to cost $3000.
Every mass produced electronic component has some non-zero failure rate.
Adrian Carter
>pushing load to 100% for 100% of the time >hurr durr, why does it explode >muh gaming and muh crypto Why are you the the way you are retarded OP? Stupid negro.
>there should be absolutely zero room for error in mass manufacturing! every single unit should be perfect you're asking the impossible, you turbo-brainlet. Also your reasoning of 'everything is equally shit and not worth buying because I can find failures for all of them on google' is such a titanic fallacy that I'm not even going to bother reasoning with you since you're clearly a mental defective.
so what you're saying is, last time you tested it, it didn't even come remotely close to performing up to spec not even close and you shill for this brand? lmao
Gavin Hernandez
I've got two Corsair VS -series PSUs, of which _both_ have obliterated the whole system with it.
Am i an idiot for falling for it twice? Definitely.
Daniel Harris
>no mention of sparkle, or superflower
Oliver Turner
impossible because chinkjeets don't know what the fuck theyre doing? no other electronic devices that require hefty psus really have this issue lmao
>doa psus, constant never fixed fan cracking, same 3.3 rail issue on the FOCUS series since FOREVER seasonic deez nuts lmao
Chase Lopez
same shit as every other chink psu fag
Camden Ortiz
stupid for expecting say, 750w psu to be able to perform up to spec? look at just how low your standards are, fag
Cooper Ross
if a $3000 psu existed that was actually good i'd gladly buy it
Jack Campbell
Well they should be able to deliver 750, but not over. So 770w could be too much long term
Julian Gomez
There are plenty of good PSUs for ~$200-300. Seasonic has 12 years warranty too
Benjamin Sullivan
>no other electronic devices that require hefty psus really have this issue source please
Hunter Bennett
750ax running 7 years now. i think it was made by seasonic.
Carter Perez
>seasonic bad underage b&
Mason King
Talking about psu. I fail to understand the logic behind my install from 7 years ago. The 6/4pins on bottom right was plugged in on the 12v output on the psu. Was I retarded because it sounds like a loop.
Only buy platinum or titanium grade and you wont have a problem. Lower grades use binned parts/units and usually make 2-10x more heat.
Look into "80 plus" and don't be retards.
Austin Hill
Americans can only buy rebranded Super Flower PSUs. So they're not as well known as Seasonic. Super Flower Leadex PSUs have also gone up in price a lot over the past few years to the point that it's worth paying the few dollars extra to get the 12 year guarantee with Premium Seasonic. I personally use a Super Flower Leadex in my main build and a Seasonic Prime in a mITX build. I have no complaints with either of them.
They don't make their own PSUs anymore. Most of what they release now are CWT.
Lincoln Lewis
i have a modu 82+ enermax 550 watts since 2007
granted it never saw more than 70% utilization ever but 12 years without a hiss is impressive
Evan Nelson
80+ is efficiency and has NOTHING to do with PSU quality. There are 80+ Bronze PSUs that OBLITERATE 80+ Platinum PSUs. (see: Straight Power E10 vs Antec Earthwatts Platinum). However, most 80+ Platinum PSUs are indeed quite high quality and I think that's what you meant
Colton Allen
Same, my antec tp650 never failed me and I'm quite the retard on the plugging (cf my question above) This little bad boi powered up 7 ATA internal western digital green, an Asus gene mobo, an Asus sound card and a GTX 970. 900w are overkill aren't they
Gabriel Carter
I've used Corsair CX750M since 2013. Still working without any problems.
Grayson Rogers
jesus christ
Isaac White
This bad huh
Dylan Mitchell
>be a retard that can't operate computer >blame the parts instead of looking in the mirror
Evan Ward
Full of shit.
Had a Corsair AX1200i since 2013 that ran a mining rig at full tilt 24/7 for 3 years, is now in my desktop and is 100% fine. Same story for a 1200w Seasonic, although I only use the machine its in occasionally now but is still perfectly fine. Also have had a SFX Seasonic in my mITX office build since 2015, is also fine. PC I built for my friend had and EVGA in it since 2015, also fine. Stop buying shit PSU's and research what you're buying.
Owen Murphy
My CoolerMaster 700 W PSU has been going strong for 10 years. I plan to reuse it for my new Zeb 2 build. Nothing wrong with it.
Alexander Barnes
>what is silverstone
Xavier Ramirez
you forgot every evga has coil whine
Zachary Torres
I have what is considered an awful PSU (Aerocool Strike-X 600w, look it up) and I haven't got a single issue in my 7 years old build (an i5 3570k at 4.4 ghz with a gtx1070) so I think you're full of shit I'm going to buy an EVGA GQ 650w because I'm updating the rig but just because I want to futureproof myself
Ian Rivera
No, last time i tested it, what PC needed wasn't even close to those "80%+" at which I could have problems with this PSU.
Corsair works just fine... Friend had 3 LC green giants die in the mean time. Now that is shit PSU. Cheap tho.
Jaxson Roberts
Are you me?
Connor Jones
the psu (rm 750x)my mum bought me came with 10 year warranty. also it has those fancy cables and matches the case. thanks mum.
>Corsair GS800 well under load Barely made it to 12 months. Fuck Corsair.
>Antec 380w green thing in HTPC Not a high load but running 24/7 over 5 years now.
>XFX 550w now maxed out erry day due to the Corsair above failure. Still running like a champ nearly 6+ years on, despite current build being right on the 450w limit.
Corsair, never, ever, ever again. Faulty PSU's faulty keyboards, just look at their RMA forums! FFS not even their mouse pad lasted. OP says, no cheap chink shit, I say go for it! These cunts are just slapping their badge on it and charging you double anyway.
Brandon Lewis
tfw bought a 380w Earthwatts in 2006 and it's still running strong. I used it for about half that time and then slapped it in my parent's PC about 6 years ago and it still runs just fine now. Feel like it's going to outlive my parents, honestly. >"And to our son, we leave the Earthwatts 380w PSU"
Mason Ortiz
i got just about 10 years out of a corsair hx620 before it gave out but a different psu of theirs only made it to 2 years. the new one i'm using has jap capacitors so hopefully it'll last.
Charles Rogers
I'm glad yours works.
This tale was all years ago when I thought the brand was selling quality items, so I bought several of their products. They all failed or required RMA almost immediately so they are basically dead to me as a company. I can understand that sometimes things go wrong but ALL the items? Then I find forums full of people with the same or similar issues for the same overpriced junk? I will never give them another cent. Ever.
Michael Russell
Dude suck a fuckign dick, I'm not paying more than $50 for a box that goes bzzzzzzzzt all day.
Eli Ross
9 years on my silverstone sfx 300w psu, still going so strong.
Dominic Young
I bought the corsair AX 860i. Great PSU! Marketed as silent. Until...
I built a custom watercooling loop for a silent PC. Now, the loudest part of my system is the PSU. It makes a clicking sound every ten seconds. This is some sort of test by the circuitry to ensure the PSU fan still works. No way to disable it apart from opening PSU up but I don't want to die.
Robert Hall
Sounds like you get shitty power dude and are blaming the wrong thing.
Any half-decent PSU will handle almost any non-mission critical application. You only need high-end PSUs if you want mission critical or plan on doing crazy shit (massive clocking, multi-GPUs etc) for years.
Zachary Howard
What a nice mum.
Landon Hernandez
>corsair works for me. i'm about to use this in a third build.
Shall I interest you guys in a company named Rasurbo?
Christopher Wright
Spec your PS to run in its efficient range for your systems power load. Don't complain about PS shitting the bed if you don't have a UPS in front of it as protection. Blow it out regularly. It's not that hard. been running the same corsair for 10 years.
Brody Williams
>UPS In what shithole of a country do you live to need that?
Aiden Cox
Using this logic, no good product has ever been mass produced
Evan Hernandez
People sometimes win at the casino too, and are happy to tell you. Thousands more lose, and lose big. You don't hear from those people do you?
Thomas Peterson
OP is a massive niggerjew.
Been using Corsair since 2008 and literally never had a problem that wasn't my fault and wasn't intentional.
David Parker
I have a Seasonic X-850 that's been well-used for about eight years. Never had a problem out of it. OP, your problem might be that you're running your PSUs at maximum rated output 24/7. Typically you want to buy something rated for at least 100-150W more than what your machine will actually draw at full load.
Mason Foster
EVGA 700 watts and above, doesn't matter rating. Using an 850w "bronze" for close to 5 years now. My psu is the only component I haven't changed in my rig. No need to.
Ian Johnson
I've been using a Corsair CX600M in my Zalman Z3 Case for 6 years, with an i7-4770k and an R9 280X, what's the problem exactly?
Jace Gomez
I had some 300 watt psu that came with an old computer that I managed to use for 5-6 years. My CM g650m is still going strong 3 years later.
Easton Brooks
>be me decades ago >NFI about PCs >given a noname POS PSU >machine literally goes POP on night >smoke, yeah we all know about the smoke >what no one tells you about >is the.... >fucking green slime!!! >that shit oozes out like some 70's horror flick
EVGA 650 GQ, 80+ Gold, the 750 version is probably also good, but I'm just guessing since I use the 650.
Isaac Allen
What's with these exploding PSU threads? Aside from the fact they don't actually explode, I doubt they fail as often. Of course I won't buy a non-certified chink PSU, but come on.
Every brand is gonna have some failures, shit happens.
Sometimes this shit happens because retards are shit like an FX 9590 and an R9 Nano
Andrew Scott
That's what happens when you pair $30 PSU with your $2000 power hungry components.
Mason Roberts
I still have a 800W thermaltake that has been running for 10 years.
Hell, I've seen antecs last about as long. This PSU quality shit is way overblown.
Tyler Sanders
Guise my 750w evga died (UNFAIR!) starter pack :
All my power protection is properly grounded on an electrical system that I've inspected. It's documented with photos and my equipment is on my insurance. All the new equipment has manufacturers warranty plus the purchase protection on my credit card.
I also notified my building of minor issues from my wiring inspection and an overvolt state incident that was handled by my line conditioner. They didn't do anything until I reminded them that my insurance company would sue them to try and reclaim any money they pay me.
