[Manish_40]

This are my specs

CPU i5 4440
Mobo Asus Maximus VII Ranger
GPU Asus GTX 960 strix 2GB
RAM HyperX Fury 8GB x2

I wann know good compatible power supplies for my machine. I am an animator, I work in 3d and i am a casual gamer. Mostly I run my pc for 12-13 Hours straight.

Some PSUs i shortlisted---

Corsair VS650
Corsair RM650x
Coolermaster B600
Seasonic S12 II

Any words on these or other PSUs will be appreciated.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!

I'd take the Seasonic first, then the Corsair RM. The other two aren't worth considering.

The Power Supply Calculator shows my needs no more than 400 W.

If I Buy 650W will it cause any problem?????

H, if it would be me, I would make sure that the PSU has at least 80+ silver certification, yes even 80+ gold certification.

Corsair has some very good PSUs.
You will not need a hefty one, if you go for a 80+ silver or 80+gold certified one 400W is enough.
If you chose a 80+ bronze certified I would say 500W PSU meaning that the psu should have at least 30-40% more power than needed,.

Here is an explanation in chart. 80+ certifiction is about effiencesy, no moore.:

Here in Sweden they are more efficient at our 230V power line and pushups from the government. Lesser climate effect.

hey manish.

let me clear a few things up.

gold platinum bronze, its only about efficiency not about quality.

second.

the best psu you got recommanded is the corsair rm650x , make sure theres an x behind it cuz the regular rm series suck.
the second best is the seasonic s12ii

forget abotu the rest theyre junk.

Efficiency doesn't translate into good quality. I'd much rather have a top-notch PSU with bronze efficiency than a poor quality PSU with platinum efficiency.

What matters in a PSU is the quality of the capacitors, ripple measurements and load temperature.

What?
Did you even bother to read my post above?
Where does it says that silver or gold relates to quality?

Take another reading again before you make statements that is out of topic.

I agree! A good PSU with good quality almost always translates to a high efficient power - not the other way around.

I agree, most good quality PSUs have a gold or platinum efficiency rating, but that rule obviously can't be applied across the board. My PSU is top-notch, but its efficiency rating is bronze.

Unfortunately, a lot of PSU manufacturers use the efficiency rating to make their products look better than they actually are. Your average buyer isn't savvy enough to consider what goes on behind the scenes. They see that gold is better than bronze, so that's what they buy.
