Question Psu heat

[ChumP]

You got a point but, you understand what i mean like, no one made a review or a big youtuber reviewed it, and its not that popular, so i guess ill go with Xigmatek one cuz its new.

I haven't seen anyone on youtube actually reviewing PSUs (with proper equipment). It's not popular because is most likely made to sell only on the asian market... still, in the Vietnamese review I linked the guy uses proper equipment to test it.

So i found this PSU for the same price of the EVGA 650BQ, should i swap it ?

Absolutely, yes. The Seasonic is a higher quality model. Are you sure 650 watts is the proper amount of power for your system? You could list the system specs here to be sure.

I'm sure it's more than enough, it i5 9400f, GTX 1660, 16 GIGS ram, Asus b360mk mobo and deep cool matrexx 55 mesh case

Would be a good pairing

I think i got scammed eh ? https://citycenter.jo/seasonic-focus-gx-650-650w-80-gold-full-modular-psu?search=focus look i bought the Focus gx650w, but i recieved CORE GX 650w, when you check the link i sent, look at the product code it says CORE GX, should i report them ?
anyways whats the difference between CORE GX 650w and FOCUS GX 650W.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Core is a cost reduced focus. Still better than a bq and 10000% better than your original PSU.

Actually i called them and they apologized and asked me if i want a refund, PSUs are limited in my country, so i should i keep it ?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Do they have one of the correct models to exchange it for?

Honestly the Core GX is still pretty good. 7 year warranty, 80+ gold, i believe its still llc and everything.

It definitely won't have an issue powering a GT1030 or a nicer GPU down the road.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

If you can find a better PSU for the same money, return it. If not, keep

i actually bought it for 79 JD means 112 USD, And i dont think the store will buy any better stock than this, and btw ill use it for my main build, i5 9400f gtx 1660, should i get the refund ?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

If you don't think you can find a better PSU for the money, keep it.

It will handle that nicely too. a 9400f+1660 is not all too power hungry.

another question, do you think it will last the 7 years ? and next year ill upgrade to i9 9900k and a RTX 3070

 

[NightHawkRMX]

If SeaSonic didn't think it would last 7 years, they wouldn't warranty it for this long. It should last for 7 years as long as its not abused.

The only thing that I would think might not last a long time would be the sleeve bearing PSU fan, however SeaSonic warranties this part if it fails within 7 years.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Core GX750 would probably handle those parts, though it wouldn't be my first choice.

 

[JasonNs_]

Alright thanks, ill keep it.

 

[JasonNs_]

Difference between Corsair RM650x and Seasonic CORE GX 650 ?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Rmx is better

 

[JasonNs_]

Was the Seasonic CORE GX 650w bad purchase [110 USD] ? if yeah what could be better for that price ?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

In USA i would say that isn't a great price, but markets are different where you are.

In usa you can get the superior SeaSonic Focus Gold 650 for about the same price, or the Antec Earthwatts Gold Pro (Rebadged SeaSonic Focus Gold 650) for a little less. They are semi modular which is nice too.

However, I don't know if they would be available where you are.

Nah they will be never available in my country, i guess this was a good move lol.

Is the Deepcool DN650 worth it ? its worrying me so much since its so cheap, and for some reason i think its dangerous to put it into a system, and please dont tell me to check PSU tierlist since i dont trust it, most of the PSUs were not tested there.

There's a reason why it is so cheap:

Group regulated crappy unit... just terrible.

Speaking of the tier list, even though there are no reviews for some of the units it's still a great guide. Depending on the topology, components selection and so on these PSUs can still be classified... sure a review will be more comprehensive, but it still won't test reliability. Just looking at some internal shots of the units gives you a good idea about what you should expect.

Also, why are you asking about such a crap PSU when you supposedly bought a Seasonic Core GX?... I assure you that going by that tier list you'll be getting a much better unit compared to what you chose so far.

i bought the seasonic gx one, but i like to know more about PSUs, and how to classify them.
