[SOLVED] Is this a quality power supply?

[odiukurac70]

I'm thinking of buying a new psu as part of my plan of further upgrading my pc. I require a new psu becuase the one i have now has no more than a capacity of 250 watts (this one here). Though it did serve me very well and still does, i am quite surprised actually, it handles a gtx 1050 ti and an i5 4590 pretty well, but I'm afraid it can't do much more than that. So, i can buy this psu and i know that this community does not know much of this brand, but hey, it's the same brand of that old psu that i got, the same that served me for 5 years and still going strong, but just in case I wanted to check in if the community sees this as a wise choice. Or is opting for a better known brand a better choice?

I wouldn't trust that PSU. Are you able to get a Cooler Master MWE Bronze V2 or BitFenix Formula Gold instead? Those are both decent quality budget PSUs.

Well I have a few more options: https://www.instar-informatika.hr/n...es-retail-maxi-ponuda/ZAL-ZM550-GVII/product/, https://www.instar-informatika.hr/n...psu-450w-cv-series/COR-CP-9020209-EU/product/, https://www.instar-informatika.hr/napajanje-thermaltake-litepower-650w-rgb/0151606/product/

None of those are any good. The absolute cheapest I would ever recommend is this one: https://www.instar-informatika.hr/n...-bronze-eu-version/COR-CP-9020236-EU/product/ That is due to it being DC to DC and more modern design. Look at what Jonnyguru says in this post to have an idea what constitutes an "adequate" PSU. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/recommended-psu-to-buy.3603290/#post-21736677 Note Jonnyguru is the head of Corsair R&D, the man has forgotten more about PSUs than most people will ever know.

The first psu has only one 6 pin pcie aux cable for a graphics card.
If it could deliver enough power, it would have a second such cable.
The second one, despite the 500w is no better with still only one 6 pin lead.
Older power supplies delivered their wattage on 3.5 and 5v not on 12v where modern processors and graphics cards need it.
Do not try to use molex adapters either.

I can't navigate in your language.
Here is one psu quality tier chart which might help:

Consider a top quality power supply as a long term investment.
Look for a tier 1/2 unit in the 750w range.
It will only use the power demanded of it, regardless if the max capability.

I think this seasonic focus 650w might be good:

Napajanje Seasonic Focus Plus 650 Gold, 650W, 80+ Gold, modularno, ATX

Seasonic engineers have created a brand new product line based on advanced technology emanating from many years of intensive active research The result of this development is the solid FOCUS+ Series, which implements modern design and shows

It may have 7 or 10 year warranty.

Alright, thank you for the advice.
