Help me choose PSU

[Un Buen Tipo Samaritano]

My specs: Corsair 460x RGB case Aorus Gigabyte x370 Gaming 5 Ryzen 1600 (probably with some OC) MSI GTX 1080 Samsung Evo SSD 500gb WD Caviar Black 1tb Logitech g900 Mouse Hyperx Alloy Keyboard

My options are:

Thermaltake Smart 750watts 80+ plus bronze

EVGA 650w GQ +80 plus gold

Seasonic M12ii 620w Evo Ed. 80 Plus Bronze

Which one should i pick??


Everybody told me that seasonic is the best option, but when using the psu calculator, i get a 491watts rating. is 620w enough for it?

Thank you in advance.

Go with the Seasonic, its much much better quality than the other two and 620w is more than enough.

Go with the EVGA 650W GQ. It uses a more modern DC-to-DC circuit design and is more efficient.

Oops, i didnt notice its the GQ. My bad
Thats a good unit ofcourse.

Damn, 2 opposite answers.
The seasonic is a bit cheaper (not biased, just saying, still haven't decided)

 

[Hellfire13]

They are actually both good units. You wont suffer picking either of them. I didnt notice the GQ part initially.

the gq is on paper the better unit, so i would get that one aswell.
we rarely/never find a defective seasonic unit on the forum, and we do from fsp(evga gq oem).

nevertheless are those the only options?

The Seasonic M12II 620W EVO Edition uses an old group regulated circuit design that may cause problems with current generation processors that use low power C-States like C6, C7 or C8. The voltages may go out of spec when the system attempts to wake from C6, C7 or C8 power states triggering one of the PSU's protection circuits.

The AMD Ryzen 5 1600 is definitely a processor that uses low power C-States.

Note the Intel Haswell Processor READY logo (i.e. low power C-State compatible) on the bottom right corner of the box for the 750W M12II Bronze EVO EDITION that uses a modern DC-to-DC circuit design.

The 620W M12II Bronze EVO EDITION is missing the Intel Haswell Processor READY logo due to its group regulated circuit design.

They do not cause problem as such if you disable the low power states, but they cannot take the advantage of the cpu feature.
You just need to make sure that you disable the C States to negate the voltage impact.

I see, I didn't know that.
Well, for now the EVGA is taking the lead.

If you have any other options in mind please let me know.

Thanks for the help
