[SOLVED] Is it ANY good? LC8650III V2.3 Ozeanos 3 - Metatron Gaming Series

[unknown_sh]

LC8650III V2.3 Ozeanos 3 - Metatron Gaming Series -> Does anyone actually have experience with these PSU and how bad (or maybe even good) they get? I have it for about a year and it worked ok with AMD Ryzen 1700, 1x16GB Hyperx Perdator 3000, ASUS RX550 4GB and two drives - M.2 KC100 and Crucial MX 500. Now I got RX590 Nitro SE and I'm not sure should I test it and see if it will run OK or should go look for another PSU. I know there's a lot of heat for LC-POWER but some of people I know tested them and they seem pretty fine but I'm still not sure about RX 590 to be tested on this PSU. I looked a lot and found that previous PSU LC8650II (notice II instead of mine III) is built by Andyson which is again poorly rated brand but for this one I see no OEM listed anywhere. The 12V is rated at 48A which is kind of bad for 650W when I look at those forums and lists which are mainly focused on gaming but I don't trust them fully on this as they get too critic about some stuff.

So I already got this and "don't buy that" will not help just a good description about PSU and what can I expect with new graphics.

LC power doesn't make good power supplies as you have found out , by noticing that unit is more or less a 550w spec wise. As for running the power hungry 590 , it should be able to , but you won't know how well till you try it.

Thanks a lot. Main problem was that people look at the first part LC-Power and assume it will burn down my house

It's not that low in quality and spec wise it should run the 590.
If you try it out and then have issues , then look for an upgrade.
Burning houses down is a stretch!

Did try it, it runs OK but graphics produces weird sound very low but I had my case open and was afraid something will happen. But I ran furmark for 15min it was stable and fans don't turn on until 60 degrees C. When it gets a bit of load I can only hear fans and I think the weird sound disappears. If case is closed I need to run Witcher 3 on ultra to hear fans . Anyway I probably should replace PSU as soon as I get enough money because weird sounds freaks me out of damaging other components

Look for EVGA G2 or G3 , Seasonic Focus Gold , Corsair RMx or Corsair CX650 or CX650M...Get a decent 650w.
