- corsair vegeance LPX pc2100

which PSU should i take?
seasonic p660 platinum (7 years)
or
corsair rmi650 gold (10 years)
the price slightly same...

I think PSU recommendations are no longer allowed on this thread (sorry). Please make a new topic and then I'll answer you there.

You can recommend PSUs all you like but when it starts turning into build discussions, that's when it's enters the land of "off topic".

What tier is this one? http://cdon.no/elektronikk/xfx-xt-p1-500b-xtfr-500w-atx-80-bronze-p37507651
Can't find it anywhere.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

My guess it is on a similar platform as the XTS, OEM seasonic, so tier 1.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I don't use tiers , but the XT aren't that great they are supposedly designed by SEASONIC , but made by Shenzhen Rui Sheng Yuan Technology .

No better than a Tier 3 IN MY OPINION.

They are XT models, not XT TS , TS are high quality. XT are budget quality.

 

[damos1212]

Good enough for running an i5 + rx480 with maybe a mild overclock?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I wouldn't use one for it.

 

[damos1212]

Alright thx.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Alright thx.

This is basically what the XT series is = not very good. HYDANCE.

Hey guys, as for the Corsair RM650x what tier would it be?

I bought it without knowing this tier list and I just wanted to know if I made a good choice.

Thanks.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Tier 1

Fantastic choice.​

 

[megazz]

Tier 1

Fantastic choice.​

Really? Thanks man!

I got a little worried after what these guys said to me:

RMX series is fantastic , I own the 850w version , they are first rate.

Great choice.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

That is the new CXM in YOUR pic not a RMX , BUT DON'T WORRY THEY ARE DECENT.​

I must be blind or something lol, thanks for pointing that out. That picture is not mine by the way.

My model is the RMX, so I guess I'm fine.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

OK as long as it's the RMX it's one of the best on the market.

 

[miningshark23]

Where would the XFX XT 600W 80+ Bronze fit in (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/xfx-xt-series-600w-80-plus-bronze-power-supply-ca-023-xf.html)? I'd assume Tier 3 but I'm not sure, can't find much documentation on it. Seems pretty good for the pricing.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

They are junk made by Shenzhen Rui Sheng Yuan Technology.​

So tier 4?

What would you recommend for less than £50 from Overclockers UK or Amazon UK? If I really must I suppose I could raise that budget a little. I'm buying it with an RX480.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

The new Corsair CXM series is decent for the price.

[SuperShark]

What about the Corsair SF600? Also are there any updated tier lists?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

They are very very good.

I don't use Tiers , but the quality is SUPERB.

[SuperShark]

The tomshardware review had a handful of negatives, but jonnyguru said there are no cons. Why is that? I hear JG is very reliable when it comes to PSU reviews.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

JG is the best for PSU reviews , I use it as my go to source.​
