PSU tier list 2.0

[Darkbreeze]

I have to agree on this point. I don't like G3D either for anything in depth. If it turns on, looks good, comes with a manual and the cables are sleeved, they give it a thumbs up. I want to know what's inside and at least some basic tenets of how it holds up under testing. JG, HardOCP, RealhardtechX, Tom's Hardware and Hardware secrets is pretty much it for me.

I like HardOCP, but something about the whole design of their website (the pitch black background) as well as the organization of their testing drives me nuts.

What I do find interesting and like is how HardOCP tests different input voltages.

Most sites I just don't like how they organize their data. Jonnyguru does a great job of making the review into a good organized fashion. Same with Tomshardware, I like the Toms and Techpowerup rveiews.

Whereas I prefer the black background. Coming from a mIRC background where basic was white background with black lettering which would quickly bring out the eyestrain headaches, I find black letters on a light grey or light pink letters on a black background much easier to use over long term.

 

[turkey3_scratch]

I use a Chrome extension called Dark Reader to darken things whenever they are too white for me. I also have another extension that inverts all the colors, so blacks become whites, whites become blacks.

Heh, as a young man, one of my favorite colors on the old CRT monitors was magenta. Course that was back when ascii only had 16 colors or so.

I had to lift our old CRT TV and sell it...

Hmmm, nothing like an Amdek 310A for easy reading!

 

[Karadjgne]

Would you believe that someone actually bothered to replace that old loveable CGA with an LCD screen and are selling them on ebay for $449. And here I thought technology was actually progressing lol

Maybe in 20 years someone will slap a BFG wrapper around a nexgen psu, just so ppl still running AGP based systems can feel authentic

 

[Onus]

The 310A was an amber monitor, not color.

"still running AGP based systems can feel authentic"

I still have a couple of AGP systems LOL. Worst graphics ever card ever.

Eh, I used to get ISA Trident cards; I think they had 256K on them.

Why exactly do you think it should be Tier 3?

Well i know its not a tier 1, and im not sure if its a tier 2. It definately isnt a tier 4 so im guessing 3 to be safe. You probably know more than me so if you say its tier 2, this ''and im not sure if its a tier 2'' changes into now i know its a tier 2

It's all good, it happens. 😀 I have had many of a if it were a snake, it would have bitten me moments. :lol:

 

[IntelTurtleFan]

Seasonic is always pretty good. Tier 2 is right for it

 

[turkey3_scratch]

I'd like to get a DMM. Anyone have suggestions? I'd prefer one with an error tolerance of around .03V if possible.

 

[Darkbreeze]

Budget?
