[Kasparas]

also budget is around 50 euros would be better if it was less than that tho

Sorry mate, net quota ended. Look up for a Seasonic S12II-620 or XFX TS PSU.

Or follow this tier list

This is the only power supply in your price range from that website worth recommending-

[Kasparas]

OMG no, the one I linked is the best one in your price range. I looked at all of them.

 

[Kasparas]

why is the one i link bad? im not trying to defend it i just want to figrue out what im missing 😀

 

[Kasparas]

Well, i know what youre talking about, but see the psu i linked has a single 12v rail that has 35 A and yours has 3 12v rails that are split 25A and i want to know if the rail being split matters?

Because the PSU industry is a sad one, one in that the unimportant stuff is listed as specifications and all the important stuff is only revealed through professionals who do thorough testing and analysis.

Power supplies don't always live up to what is on the label.

[turkey3_scratch]

Nope it's bad.

 

[Kasparas]

why is it bad tho? i dont really get it... sorry if i sound like a noob 😀 i just want to know how to choose psu's

 

[turkey3_scratch]

I could fire a lot of technical jargon at you, or I'll instead just link this article here if you want to know some things that make one PSU good or bad http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-power-supplies/

[turkey3_scratch]

If Archaic says it's the best in the price range then it is.

 

[Kasparas]
