[SOLVED] POP! (Seeking Advice for New PSU)

[greenj2]

Hey all,

My PSU popped and I’m in the market for a replacement.

After doing some research I worked out that my rig would need at least 485W, so I’m looking in the 600W range and these two units are my top picks:

be quiet! Pure Power 11 600W Power Supply

Corsair TX650M Gold 650W Power Supply
https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categ...-Units/txm-series-2017-config/p/CP-9020132-NA

They seem well matched in terms of price and performance.

I’d love to hear any advice you might have in case I’ve overlooked something obvious. PC specs are listed below.

Cheers!

Why?

• More power
• Longer warranty
• Better topology (LLC vs. ACRF)
• Japanese capacitors (not that it matters that much)
• Can operate at higher temperatures (50°C Vs. 40°C
