PSU and CPU compatibility

[crazyxone]

So I bought PSU today, and i read on the box that says: "TYPE: Intel ATX 12V", but Im planning on using it on AMD Ryzen 5 2600 processor, will that work?

Btw, here are my specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600
PSU: COOLERMASTER MWE Bronze 650W
GPU: Gigabyte 1070 Ti
MOBO: Gigabyte Aorus B450 M
RAM: Kingston DDR4 HyperX FURY Black 8 GB/2666 MHz, CL16

Is everything compatible? And will my PSU work with AMD cpu?
Thanks

it's fine. atx standard was introduced by intel. but it's a widely adapted standard.

As said above it will work, although I personally wouldn't buy a PSU that doesn't have any professional reviews available for it.

the power supply should do the job fine, overall, it is budget range psu, so performance/quality is mediocre, i don't think that you will have issue running your system.

Yeah, I was on a budget and Cooler master is a good company, so I went for it...And thank you for answering!

Actually, according to this:
https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048-psu-tier-list-updated/
CoolerMaster PSUs are all over the map in terms of quality, everwhere from outright fire hazards to fairly decent units. They would not be my first choice for a PSU.

You can't really rely on brand name for PSUs, you need to look on them at a model by model basis. Even if the company sells some PSUs that are really great, they may sell other ones that are crap. And as said above, Cooler master isn't really known for making great PSUs in the first place.

I will see how it works, it will probably work good for a first year or two without any problems, and then i'll see, maybe i'll buy another one, maybe evga or something.. But this one should work fine for a while, it should be electricly stable for a while, right?

 

[crazyxone]

I dont know guys, i was reading a lot of customer reviews for this PSU, and almost everyone said it was excelent and really quiet, like 95% of people were happy with it..So we'll see

 

[TJ Hooker]

Customer reviews tell you nothing about the actual electrical performance (e.g. voltage ripple, load regulation, efficiency). They also don't really tell you anything about reliability other than how many units are dead on arrival or fail within the first month or two (I don't really see people going back to leave/update reviews if it happens to fail a year in or something). I guess opinions on fan noise might be informative. You also don't know what sort of rigs the PSU is being used in: maybe most people are using it for rigs that require way less than the rated power and it works fine but it might go up in flames if you try to actually draw close to the rated power.

I agree that it will probably work fine, at least for a while. I'd just rather have the peace of mind that comes with getting a PSU that has professional reviews showing it provides stable power with good workmanship and high quality components.

Yeah, that makes sense. What PSU would you recomend for my specs? I assume that 650W is enough, but what brand?
And what are the chances that it will kill my components? I mean i dont care if my psu dies as long as it doesnt kill everything else, so what are the chances of that happening, does that happen often with bad PSU's?

Question from crazyxone : "Cooler Master PSU's - How good and safe are they?"

Hey guys, so I got Cooler Master MWE Bronze 650W PSU, and I wanna know if anyone else has the same PSU, and how are they happy with it? Also i want to know how safe are they for the rest of the pc components? Because it says that they are very safe, reliable and so on especially the MWE series... But also some people say that cooler master PSU's suck, and are bad. So does anyone has this PSU and are they safe for other components?

My specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600

I think that PSU ought to be good enough to not take out other components if it fails. The list of protections in the specs is fairy comprehensive. I can't say for sure though.

Here are a couple of decent units that are reasonably cheap (2nd one better than the 1st one):

Hey thanks for suggestion, but earlier today i went to a store and replaced cooler master's with ANTEC HCG 750W 80 Plus Gold
That one will be fine for sure. And it has a 10 year warrenty

[TJ Hooker]

That looks like a good unit, I'm sure you won't regret your choice!

 

[larrycumming]

750W is overkill for your current system and falls short of requirement if you ever buy another card to run in SLI mode.

I would say 750W is typically for dual CPU systems.

850W+ for dual graphics cards.

650W for single graphics card HEDT/OC'd systems.

550W for single graphics card non-OC'd box.

add another 50W if you use amd gpu

 

[TJ Hooker]

I agree that 750 W is more than he needs, but if that's what he bought it should still serve him well.

Question from crazyxone : "ANTEC HGC 750W 80 plus gold"

Hey, so i dont really know a lot about PSU, except they are pretty important for a pc. So how good is this one? How safe and stable is this Antec one? It has 10 year warrenty, so it cant be bad, right?
My specs:
CPU Ryzen 5 2600
GPU: GTX 1070 Ti
RAM: Kingston 8GB hyperX FURY
SSD: kingston 120GB
HDD: 2TB
MOBO: Gigabyte B450 AORUS M

Thanks

Antec is among my most trusted brand
and that HCG 750W gold is good

https://www.kitguru.net/components/power-supplies/zardon/antec-hcg-gold-750w-80-plus-gold-modular-power-supply/

750W is a bit too much tho' . If the 650W variant is a lot cheaper, I would pick the 650W one.

Its a rebadged seasonic focus plus gold,pretty much top 3 of any gold rated platform currently available.

So yeah,750w is overkill but its one of the best psu's currently on the market.

Ok, thanks guys. I dont think there is 650W close to where i live. I looked at PSU tier list on toms hardware and it was on Tier 4. So i was a bit worried and confused because everyone says that its a great PSU. I just wanted to double check. So thank you. 750 Watts wont be a problem right?
