stay relevant depend on your expectation. What the screen resolution?

Probably up to the point the low quality psu smokes the system. Couple of questions whats it going to be used for? Have you already bought any of the parts.

Not sure if this is a good or bad unit. Otherwise, I don't see a good future for it. Its just not well known and others say its bad.

The other components look decent. I would get an Intel i7 over that processor, if you didn't buy it already. The motherboard is very expensive too. What case do you have? And with a SSD for Windows and programs, it would be much better. That makes a real difference in booting and starting games and applications.

I this will be my gaming rig, I just have the power supply and case, the case is a Corsair Carbide 100R Mid Tower

PSU has no review on it... so don't get it. But, you already have it, so, it is what it is.

I just got the power supply recently so should I return it and get a psu like the EVGA 500 W1 80+

 

[turkey3_scratch]

EVGA W1 stinks. 😛

 

[L1vE_Daedalus]

So what PSU should I get?¿?

 

[turkey3_scratch]

There is a good deal on the EVGA B2. Realistically, your build could run on a 550W PSU minimum, but if you can have headroom and quality for a bargain, why not:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Power Supply: EVGA 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($64.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $64.99

I need a psu that is low price, reliable and meets my computers needs with the option that I could add more to the system with out bottle necks

 

[turkey3_scratch]

I just posted one above 😛

 

[L1vE_Daedalus]

I bought this off of amazon and it has a 4.5 and hardly any reviews of this psu failing but the funny thing is I found the same psu with a 3.6 with no purchasing options and alot of reviews of this psu failing
(This most likely means nothing but do you think they fixed their issues)

[turkey3_scratch]

Never ever ever ever go by Amazon or Newegg reviews when it comes to PSUs. Those people are not electrical engineers. They give it 5 stars if their system which probably requires way less watts to their surprise simply powers on. They'll then say things like, "Delivers nice clean power" and other crap that they don't really have any expertise on.

Again with that Sentey, there is no professional review done on it, so you're drawing cards by using it.

It's advertised as 725w but can't even output 600w on the 12v rail. Strike 1
It's based on an old design based on the looks and how its rated. Strike 2
It's built by a Chinese company I have never heard of and has zero professionally done reviews. Strike 3
But it's your money if you want to risk it with a dodgy PSU that's your choice but you can't say you weren't warned.

 

[turkey3_scratch]

Let me quote some examples of Amazon reviews.

This is a fantastic 725W PSU. I needed something large enough to run a HTPC.

Haha, yeah right, like your HTPC draws 725W.

Really, really quiet PSU with no load on it.

^^This is the same person. So basically they say they need a beefy PSU for an HTPC, then say it has no load on it and is quiet. Of course it's quiet! It has no load on it.

My wife loves it working great for her computer runs cool (in fact coolest running power supply I have ever seen!)

How can they tell? The only thing you can feel in the exhaust is heat dissipation, not heat. For all we know 85C rated caps are toasting up.

eing a Electronic Engineer and Tech. It is a quiet running unit, that has plenty of connections for mid tower, and plenty of power handling needs.

I would have expected an electrical engineer to know better.

Works great. I accidently blew up my last one and was happy to get this one as quick as possible. A little louder than the last one but still amazing.

You'd think that after someone's PSU blows up, they'd go somewhere like Tomshardware and say, "Hey, what's a good PSU?" rather than just buying this.

If it works, then it will do a find job.

No, no it won't.

 

[L1vE_Daedalus]

I guess I will get the psu turkey3_scratch recommended
I should've asked for advice sooner f***n hell...
anyway Thanks m8s you guys saved me from my computer bursting into flames!

ok then.....soooo.........what is the cheapest way of returning a the psu :v
