Hello
unfortunately I cannot find any website that lists\ranks PSUs by failure rate, hence this thread..
I am going to replace my Cougar GX800 and I am interested in a PSU that has:
->from a reputable brand with at least 3 years warranty
->has a ''silent''mode (semi-passive..Fan only spinning when reaching certain temperature) since the fan on my Cougar is already making strange noises after only 2 years because the poor guy is always spinning.. even when I am just looking at photos or playing youtube
->at least 800W (but not over 1000w)
->at least semi-modular (but really fully modular is actually pointless since everybody is going to use 1xMobo power, 1-2 cpu power cables, 1x pcie power and at least 1 drive).
->two EPS 12v CPU Power cables like the Corsair RM850x (I am planning on buying either 9900K or 10900K and overclock it as far as it goes).
->R̶̷G̶̷B̶̷ ̶̷(̶̷n̶̷o̶̷t̶̷ ̶̷1̶̷0̶̷0̶̷%̶̷ ̶̷m̶̷a̶̷n̶̷d̶̷a̶̷t̶̷o̶̷r̶̷y̶̷ ̶̷b̶̷u̶̷t̶̷ ̶̷I̶̷ ̶̷R̶̷E̶̷A̶̷L̶̷L̶̷Y̶̷ ̶̷W̶̷A̶̷N̶̷T̶̷ ̶̷R̶̷G̶̷B̶̷ ̶̷I̶̷F̶̷ ̶̷P̶̷O̶̷S̶̷S̶̷I̶̷B̶̷L̶̷E̶̷)̶̷ no RGB SINCE SECURITY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN LOOKS
price is not really important-I'd say my limit would be about 300€
in the last weeks I was pretty set on buying a Seasonic Psu since I heard that Seasonic is the only PSU maker that makes its own PSUs but yersterday I found out that even Seasonic outsorces their PCB-A ... So I think I should choose not by Brand but by Model ..but I cannot find any recent listing\ranking of PSU's by failure rate (which ones have e.g 0.1% or 9% failure rate).
Allthough I love ASUS (their mobos and monitors are top-notch- I have them), I am hesitant to buy the ROG-THOR since it's the first PSU they ever made..
I would be very grateful if anyone would have some suggestions..
