Thermaltake 450w

90% of the 450w Thermaltake PSUs are garbage. What't the exact model?

It's junk and it's old. A nice recipe for a fire hazard.

so suggest me some good budget PSU for the config

 

[Dragos Manea]

i dont think your expectation of budget would be a decent PSU. Usually a good PSU is around 100$ (Seasonic S12II 520w, NOT S12III, S12III IS GARBAGE)

Bangladesh

You'll have to spend more even for a budget model. That website you linked has a Corsair CX550F and an Antec Neo Eco Gold Zen 500 that are acceptable lower budget models.

3000 taka is = to $35 USD. You are not going to get anything reliable in that price range.

still 450w is enough

 

[King_V]

450W from a good power supply is more than enough. The Litepower, unfortunately, isn't a good one.

 

[Lafong]

That video card is supposed to draw 75 watts maximum.

If that is true, a decent quality 450 watt PSU should be OK with an i5 that is not overclocked

BUT BUT BUT.....................is the Thermaltake 450 "decent"?



Maybe not. It may produce only 250 clean and reliable watts.

You take your chances.

Search for reviews.

Typically yes, but this is just about at the bottom of Thermaltake's product line, incredibly cheaply made, and on the level that I'd never be willing to keep this around for anything other than testing things like fans outside of PCs.

The balance of spending now on a better PSU vs. the risk of having to spend a lot more to replace components that works best for you is something you have to decide. But it's not a good or even adequate PSU.

or this
Antec atom 450w?
https://www.techlandbd.com/antec-atom-550w-power-supply
Which one should I buy among Thermaltake litepower, Antec Atom, Deepcool de500?

 

[Lafong]

For what it's worth:

https://tiny-reviews.com/reviews/357-review-on-power-supply-deepcool-explorer-de500-500w

It's not easy to find English language info on a lot of power supplies that you can buy in Asia.

It apparently sells for the equivalent of about $44.

I'd keep my expectations quite low.

You may be able to find online reviews in your native language by Google. Maybe on youtube?


Antec Atom apparently sells for around $32.

You may have to just take a chance.

Those are bad choices. Nobody here is going to recommend you buy a crap power supply. You really need to increase your budget to get a decent model or roll the dice and hope for the best. Good luck.

But Deepcool De500 produce 300w max on 12v, while antec atom 550w produce 504w on 12v.

Those may be simply marketing claims.

Regardless, "watts" has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with build quality.

A good 300 watt power supply would likely be OK for you, but none of what you can find are good.

Flip a coin. Roll some dice. Ask a fortune teller. Read some tea leaves.

Why do you think it's better. Because it's lower quality, and it has a double forward+ group regulation topology instead of LLC + DC-DC?
