[SOLVED] Is this PSU good?

[Dj0gany]

Hi i bought a CHIEFTEC 700W LPS-700S with 85% efficiency,and i was just wondering would this be enough if not more for this specs:
CPU;Ryzen 5 1600AF (possibly overclocked in the future) with the stock cooler
GPU:Radeon R9 380 4GB from GIGABYTE
RAM:2xDDR4 8GB 3200MHz GEIL EVO FORZA
MOBO:ASRock B450M HDV R.4
PSU: CHIEFTEC 700W LPS-700S
HDD:1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM
CASE:Raidmax Neon RGB (it has 3 fans at the front and i will be buying another one to the back of the case)

I am a idiot.The psus name is CHIEFTEC ELP-700S

If it's working properly it has plenty of power. You should know that Chieftec does not make very good power supplies and is on our list here to not recommend. I would not expect it to last much beyond the warranty, if it makes it that far.

You should always ask BEFORE buying a new PSU since there's so much garbage on the market.

Are you sure it's an "LPS-700S" and not "GPS"?

Most Chieftech power supplies aren't very good, so it would be good to know.

I can't seem to find an English review of that unit. Generally, Chieftec makes rather poor quality power supplies.

The R9 380 isn't exactly power efficient. I would want a better unit.

As I thought. A low budget model with no 80+ certificate, group regulated design, cheap 85c primary cap and just barely holds 12 volt spec under high load. It has some protective circuitry but lacks OTP (over temperature protection). It's not what you'd call a quality model. Luckily for you, it's not going to be under high load with your specs and you don't have a high end build so the risk is lower if it fails. You should be using a higher quality brand/model but that's up to you.

I think the warranty is only 2 years for that model so be prepared to replace it before too long if you intend to continue using it. Be sure to come back here before you buy a new model to get a proper recommendation from the guys here at Tom's.
