PSU tier list 2.0

[King Dranzer]

With regards to the rad on fan side of the psu, that absolutely has to be intake. If used as exhaust, soon as that neighboring fan spins up, it'll create enough vacuum to effectively starve the psu of air, which'll drive psu temps through the roof. If tolerances allow, I'd turn that psu sideways, fan toward the bottom, cut a hole, and feed the fan outside air. That'll put psu solid sides towards the rads, both of which can now be used as intakes or exhaust, depending on orientation, without affecting the psu in the slightest.

How would 4 fans for intake and 8 fans for exhaust work?

Lets keep this thread halfway on topic please. Feel free to make a thread about your proposed case design but it doesn't belong here.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Will sort it out later.

Thanks guys for the help

If you are not planning to add in second GPU then yes it is enough.

 

[Karadjgne]

The RMx are tier 1 psus, and yes, it's plenty for a Ryzen /1080.

Definitely not. That's the Cooler Master version of a Corsair VS Series. It's their cheapest solution.

jonnyguru what is your verdict on CX(2017).

jonnyguru what is your verdict on CX(2017).

This really isn't a specific question. It's doubtful you'll get a response.

 

[panchiiglesias]

what about the cougar vtx600? at least is better than the b700 v2?

Especially as he works for Corsair.

Compressed air can

 

[Karadjgne]

Small shop vac, compressed air can. I blow from fan side and vac from exhaust side

My Cooler Master V550 is made by Enhance - https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/CoolerMaster/V550/4.html

I don't, I just let mine burn.

Enhance is an all-in-one type OEM, they make everything from junk to excellent psus depends entirely on what any particular vendor specifies for a model.

eeeehhhh..... I can't really think of any Enhance "junk" off the top of my head. What am I missing?

 

[Karadjgne]

'junk' is a personal opinion. What you consider junk can be and almost certainly is different to what I consider junk. Zalman ZM500ST, bunch of Akasa etc. I'm sorry, but 360w on the 12v rail of a 500w 80+ psu "I" consider junk. And while it may be of excellent build quality, I doubt it has mythical or even close outputs, probably closer to average-ok.
