Replacing PSU for MAXIMUS IV GENE-Z/GEN3

[JoexLegacy]

Hi guys,

My 675W PSU got fried and I need to get a new one.

Can you recommend one for MAXIMUS IV GENE-Z/GEN3 motherboard.
Got 560Ti graphics
16GB RAM
i5 processor

Seasonic or Crossair pref.

80+ Gold, legit Wats
Modular if possible with a big ass cooler so it's quiet.

THANKS! <3

Any quality unit should work fine. Your video card is the primary power consumer so Nvidia recommends 500-550 for a fully loaded system(I could not even see that system pulling much over 350 under heavy load).

You should list your location so users can help you better.

Minimum System Power Requirement = 500 Watts

Depends on your budget JoexLegacy

SeaSonic G-750 750W 80+ Gold Certified. $110 Newegg
Corsair RM750x — 750 Watt 80 PLUS® Gold Certified Fully Modular PSU. $99 Newegg

Corsair RM850x — 850 Watt 80 PLUS is fully modular and quiet. Comes with Corsair link software. $110 Newegg
SeaSonic X Series 850W is an excellent unit. $115 Newegg

A little above your requirement but both are efficient and will allow for future expansion. For the slight difference in price, I would go for the higher Wattage.

Perfect response! ty!

Those would handle two 560 Tis.

It's not over yet, Snake!

Problem. In my country only X series one is available 850 W seasonic and it's 230 EURO.

Any cheaper? 650W is ok too. List a few so I can find one in my local shops Thanks!

Again, the Seasonic S12 520 (9.7 jonnyguru rating) or 620 ... or even the M12 would be my choice at half the price of the 750 watter. Visit the above links, then look in the upper right hand corner and try and find your county or one closest to you.

As nukemaster said, your rig won't ever see 350W even, and "650W' is an extremely generalized term. You are aware that there are some better 450W units than some 650W units that would not only be safer for your components but last a lot longer and perform better, right? Saying you need a 650W unit is silly and just wasting money.

The only reason we usually recommend ~550W units instead is because there aren't many <500W units that are well priced for their quality. It's not because the hardware is demanding at all, and even then, "500W", "600W", "650W" - all these are such generalized terms. There is no standardization by which labelled wattage is actually derived, which is why we have units that can maintain a power of 200W higher than their labelled wattage and be perfectly fine, and we also have units that will blow up 200W beforehand.

Also, don't get this idea about having "extra power". There is no such thing, really. What matters is the voltage stability all around and the build quality. 😉

Recommended PSU size is 1.5 times max power draw.... at 350 watts, that would be 525 watter .. and of course one capable and tested so as to be able to provide that wattage

If you read the review, PSU performed remarkably at full power with outstanding low ripple

In what is likely the highest scoring group regulated unit I have ever tested, Seasonic has something really special here. A nice, quiet, efficient, and well performing unit that is affordable for just about any budget.

GeForce GTX 560 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit.

If you are going to overclock CPU or GPU, then we do recommend that you purchase something with some more stamina.
