Motherboard: h110m ds2
Ram: Avexir ddr4 8gb 1x
Psu: huntkey gp500
cpu: i5 7400
Gpu: inno 1060 6gb

Unplug it from the wall. Wait for about five minutes. Plug it back in again.

If it still doesn't work, your Huntkey PSU died.

• Average PSU brands (Not deadly but I would avoid them)
• NZXT
• Enermax
• Cougar
• Bitfenix

Good PSU brands (These psu brands have decent-great PSUs, but also have a few outliers)

• EVGA--------->You can even list this under the "Arguably the best brands" category.
• Corsair
• Antec
• Cooler master
• Be quiet!
• Fractal Design
• SilverStone
• FSP.

Arguably the best brands, but that's a slight exaggeration..

• Seasonic
• XFX
• Superflower

This, is a bit too simplified. You really can't blanket statement any of those brands.

All of them, INCLUDING Seasonic and Super Flower, have models that are, somewhat lacking, in some way or another, making them more like mediocre than "best". Nobody really makes ONLY good/great models.

Even Flextronics, that used to (Or still does, not sure, Jon could answer that better than I) make the AXi 1200w model for Corsair, has some products for the enterprise sector (Server power supplies) that are probably not as good as some others out there, and then some platforms that are probably without equal.

Seasonic's newer S12III, outsourced. Outdated group regulated topology. I wouldn't recommend them.

Super Flower has had some fairly crappy platforms to go along with some very good ones too.

NZXT, Enermax, Cougar and Bit Fenix all have models that I would not hesitate to put into any system, but also a lot of models that I would pass on, quickly. So your "list" while well intentioned, lacks model specifics and makes it an almost dangerously generalized assumption of good vs bad.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Brands have to cater to different markets.

Nearly all companies that make high-end units also make lower-end units.

For example, Corsair makes the amazing AXi titanium units, but Corsair also made the VS orange.
The VS orange is literally "burn your house down" quality.

 

[Darkbreeze]

Well, I don't know about "burn your house down", although anything is possible, but they were certainly known to fail early when paired with gaming hardware AND for myself, I know of AT LEAST two or three motherboards that were destroyed by using them. Of course, I know of several motherboards that were killed off by green label CX 600w units too.

Regardless of the specifics, bad is bad. Not recommended means just that. For the rest, certainly there are considerations for the use case and platform as well, but also as you know it's incredibly important to be comparing models, not brands, when looking for a quality unit.

I have seen VS orange fail with a lot of smoke.

Where there is smoke, there is is the potential for a fire.

Yeah. Old VS and CX were pretty bad. They're from a time when Corsair didn't really have any in house engineers. Basically, they just bought whatever CWT had handy that fit the price point they were wanting. :-(

 

[Darkbreeze]

And things have certainly gotten better in that department since they hired Jon. Yep, ^^^^That guy.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

I came up with this comparison when I was board yesterday. It isn't very accurate, but i do think there is some logic in this comparison.

VS Orange = Nothing modern by Corsair thankfully.
VS Grey = CX Green (for one the VS and CXG have the same protection features according to Corsair)
TX Bronze = CX Grey

Nope. Thanks, but not taking credit for that. There were some great minds at Corsair before I came along. I'm just higher profile. :-D

Well, that would explain a lot.

I certainly dont know anything in comparison. I don't have a degree in electrical engineering lol.

Neither do I. I'm a hack. My first project at Corsair was the TX-M Gold and I messed up on the fan/housing.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Well the TXM Gold is pretty damn good soo...

Could be quieter. That's where I messed up. But tooling a new housing costs money and the you have to do all new certifications. :-( $$$

It's hard to ask the VP if you can go way over budget once you're already in PVT.
