    Discussion PSU recommendations and power supply discussion thread - Tom's hardware

    It would be better to get rid of the requirements, so little flexibility can be made there. G3, G5, and Focus/Focus+ are in Tier D, along with some actual garbage... You aren't very likely to need the OPP to work anyway, since your components won't come close to the rated wattage. Don't you...

    Question EVGA SuperNOVA 650w G5 for $70?

    When did he say they are junk? He said they're not good for the price, that's all... Not really. For one, both the GQ and G5 are FSP Active Clamp platforms, so they have some similarity. Active Clamp PSUs by nature are low end, even CX with an LLC resonant primary would outclass the GQ...

    Corsair, possibly CM or TT (I don't know if they have a dedicated PSU team or not) do more than "slap a label on a CWT/GW unit". They work with the OEM's to design the PSUs. EVGA on the other hand do not have a dedicated team of PSU engineers, so that statement would be true for them.

    PRIME Titanium/Plat are the only Seasonic high ends that I can think of. And the Super Flower Leadex II/III. FSP makes a few high end models as well (be quiet!'s higher end, like dark power pro 11) CWT also makes the HX/i series.

    Clearly you've never heard of Flextronics, and even CWT makes some on the high end (RMx, RMi etc)

    Review EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G5 Power Supply Review

    Most of them are, though. Consumers are real stupid.

    They probably won't because the money to be made in the consumer space is pennies compared to server.

    [SOLVED] Need advice on a compatible PSU

    It's useless for you ignore it. Do you mean the S12III? That's better than the S12II lol

    [SOLVED] Need help deciding on a power supply

    That's quite the understatement, lol. Both PSUs use a completely different platform; CX being HBLLC and CXm being DF, the CX is much better, especially with GPUs that draw high wattage on peak transients.

    Question Power Supply upgrade

    AMD puts highly exaggerated required wattage for their GPUs because they don't know what the CPU is, the quality of the PSU etc. Nvidia does the same.

    [SOLVED] 650 watt

    If you really needed a 650W PSU, your budget would probably be around $150+...

    Question Replacing power supply for new ryzen build

    A highly upgraded CWT GPS at that. Stock GPS units would be stuff like Thermaltake Toughpower DPS Gold, Enermax Revolution X't II, etc. and they are ~= to Corsair CX 2017 in quality according to The_Mask.
