I was planning on getting a thermaltake smart rgb 600W but after reading some reviews is it really that bad?

If its that bad can someone find me a solid one under $80 on this site - gigatron.rs/napajanja
$80 is about 9000RSD

It’s an average PSU not much to do better at that price range probably. What are you using it for?

If you meant the PC im using it for mostly gaming

CPU and GPU?

 

[sizzling]

I’d actually say it’s below average quality. I wouldn’t use it.

Yeah. I was going to say. Saying a Thermaltake Smart is "average" is giving it a lot of credit.

Yeah i dont trust thermaltake psu's corsairs has some great ones for good value. such as the cx650 but you could go higher.

If your buying a 3600 and a 5600xt, spend more on your PSU. TT Smart 600w are not amazing.

Slightly over budget, but the cheapest I saw that i liked.

Gigatron's selection sucks. That's the only place?

The HEXA 85+ is the only PSU I would ever consider if I had to buy from that place and only had a 9000RSD budget: https://www.gigatron.rs/napajanja/fsp_napajanje_650w_hexa_85_serija__ha650-139058

Well, Thermaltake does have some good PSUs.

Problem with the Smart RGB is you're paying extra for RGB, yet the PSU is the same price as better units. Do people really thing RGB is free? It's not. They make the PSU cheaper so they can slap an RGB fan in it and sell it at a premium price.

 

[brokengpuormobo]

yeah if your case doesnt have a open psu shroud just forget the rgb.

 

[brokengpuormobo]

usually cheap ones will advertise the Max/peak wattage while there actual wattage is like half so double check your psu's if your on that budget

Well for gaming of course, which is why I asked what he was doing with it.

Right. If we were making a digital clock out of a potato, it would be fine.

I will probably get the hexa85+ you recommended :/

 

[NightHawkRMX]

That site is even worse.

 

[ItzStefan]

That site is even worse.

There is something like ebay but i don't think you can navigate on It since you dont understand anything

Lmao, true

EDIT: Wrong country.

Looks like they only have higher wattages, though. I guess Egyptian retailers equate high wattage with high quality and never order high quality low wattage PSUs?

I found these idk if they are strong enough for the build i have:

Sorry. I was also responding to a guy in Egypt with the same problem as you.

Those are more than adequate PSUs.

Well that makes sense.

Anyways, I guess I'm getting one of those then.

I will say that if the TX-M is only 7 Euro more than the CX, totally get the TX-M.

That pricing seems out of whack because the TX-M has Gold efficiency and is semi-modular. The CX is Bronze and non-modualr.

Ok getting the txm but isn't the cxm also semi-modular?

 

[jonnyguru]

Oh.. You're right! That's a CX-M!

So then the TX-M is MUCH better.

The CX is better than the CX-M, but the TX-M is MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better than the CX-M.

That makes it a no brainer. No reason why the cost delta between CX-M and TX-M should be so small. Man.. Pricing is all over the place. It's like they have a bot doing it.
