I know that all the reviews have the average power consumption included, and quite frankly, it's nothing special, save for the professional measuring equipment (though not FPS per Watt, I haven't seen that yet, not even in the RX 7900 XT review.) I understand that as you hadn't used used public...

As the cultists network tier list says: Is the PSU old? If the fan won't spin at low RPM, the motor is probably damaged, but the worst that can happen is the fan dying completely (possibly causing the PSU to start overheating.) However, I wouldn't recommend replacing the fan yourself due to...

The videos have been archived. Hard to say without hearing it. When an HDD clicks, it's about to die, but the only mechanical parts in a PSU are its fan and the power switch.

Ah, I see you know the Tier list. I'd pass on Tier C but it doesn't mean it's bad.

As always, I recommend going by tier, as higher tiers are guaranteed to be safer and have better quality: https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/ Personally, I've bought a Tier A second-hand PSU for myself for around 50 bucks and it's got semi-passive cooling.

Go by tier. It's a good idea to buy a second-hand Tier A PSU instead of a brand-new PSU of a lower tier, as it should have more longevity and will always be safer. https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/ Thermaltake Smart starts at Tier C. There's no way I'd recommend something like that...

This is an amazing piece of work, especially considering how inconsistent software readings are, but As a fan of spreadsheets I couldn't resist making a copy of the efficiency table in Google Sheets to add the missing GPU's using the same formulae. While the power consumption checks out, I...

Alright, thanks. That tier list is awesome, I wish I had known about it before spending hours researching PSUs from non-blacklisted manufacturers. I have to wait until Friday so the seller can test the Antec. In the meanwhile, I'm considering paying a bit more than the 30 bucks (I wasn't...

Hello. You can try to talk me off of buying a second-hand PSU (or more like ask me to wait for a better deal) but they cost like 30-40 bucks and they're not necessarily old. My first choice is between: be quiet! Straight Power E8 CM-580 Silver (modular 580W=non-modular 550W) Antec HPC-850 Gold...

Alright, thanks. I'll find something better. But just out of curiosity, what is bad about industrial PSUs? (besides the assumed loudness)

I found a bargain on the GPS-850HB (B) PSU. But I couldn't find any information about it whatsoever. Is the 80 Plus Platinum certification enough to prove it's a good-quality PSU? If you Ctrl+F for GPS-850HB you find the Platinum certification here...
