[SOLVED] Question About Psu

[Lev1n]

Hello recently water touched my psu and i lost my corsair tx850m.
Want to ask i have corsair vs550. Can it handle the 8700k @5.0 ghz and 1070ti?

I wouldn't try it because Corsair VS is very low quality.

 

[logainofhades]

Definitely not a good idea.

No, no and no.

You can trust corsair about RAM, but forget about their PSUs.

Corsair has some of the better PSU's on the market. The VS is at the bottom of their line up and not a good option for a gaming system(especially an overclocked one) but that doesn't make all Corsair PSU's a bad option.

Many Corsair PSU's are quite good. VS not so much, but CXM, TXM, RMX ect are fine.

Realy? A lot different versions with the same SKU is not very reliable!

Get a decent PSU to run your nice setup. VS is not the answer.

Okey im not gonna use the vs550. Im so broken on money situation. Only option i can afford is sharkoon 650w psu.

If you're short on cash, consider this list of PSUs instead:

Personally I can't vouch for the sharkoon brand. Its not well known and/or I haven't found any hardware testing data on it, but only 5 star ratings here and there.

That's nothing better than a VS550.

Do you have a link to a webshop in your country to check the availablity of PSUs?

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

100 percent inflation in 2 hours. Is that typical in Turkey?

That's about 22 dollars up to 44 dollars for the Sharkoon.

Yea its happened this month. 1 $ was 8 turkish lira now its almost 14 turkish lira.
Example an iphone 13 was costing 12k turkish lira now its 18k. This changed in 1 week.

Wow, we take things for granted here Western Europe/N. America.

A quality PSU can last 10+ years, a bad one is far more likely to die the first few times you put it under load.

Check for Over Current Protection, it should be listed. Don't get a PSU that doesn't have that!!!

Look for a Corsair CV650, it's the affordable decent quality PSU, they have modular options as well.
Should be available if Corsair products are around, avoid the absolute budget line, they like to slap their brand on cheap crap because people trust their more expensive stuff.

Good luck and I'm sorry about losing your PSU to liquid, that really sucks
