What do you think about this PSU?

[Aslaf]

So here it is. You probably don't know this brand, but spec looks fine. What do you think guys?

V12 rail seems to be reliable.

I want to use it along with i5 4670k and r9 290x.

 

[RCguitarist]

How much are they wanting for it? Price will definitely affect the answer.

 

[jay2577]

It only has a 2 year warranty

That shows how much faith the company has in it's lifespan

 

[jay2577]

If you can afford an i5 4670k and r9 290x i would suggest spending on a good quality power supply unit. One with a 5 year or more warranty would be a good place to start.
If you tell me your budget and country i will try and help select one

Quality brands are known internationally. That is not one. The specs are decent but there are no reviews and I can't even find who made it. Just because it's listed as having certain specs does not mean it can deliver them and without a review there is no way of knowing. I would not buy it. In fact I doubt I would use it if it was free. Especially for a power hungry R9 290X.

So I' m from Poland, and i can pay up to 5000 zł/1200$. Silentium PC is well known in my country, it's a polish company, idk if they ship their products abroad EU. Here is the part from review that you may find interesting (numbers!) translated with google translate (sorry)


How in terms of power supply voltages SilentiumPC Deus M1 650W does? The power supply has been charged with a total power drawn by a professional testing device PSUkill2 : 553.9 on the lines:

3.3 V - 13 A (42.9 W)
5V - 11A (55W)
12V - 38A (456W)
Generally, the AC was doing with so much power (85.2% of nominal power) quite well. Tensions slightly deviate from the ideal (all of the above, a maximum of 0.18 V to +12 V), but were within the standard ATX and were stable.

The maximum and minimum voltage for SilentiumPC Deus M1 650W recorded in the log for each line are:

3.3 V, 3.35 V
5V: 5,07-5,08 V
12V: 12.14 - 12.18 V


another part



+ Quality (except braids)
+ Technology E-PLUG
+ Stable voltage
+ High efficiency (80 + Bronze)
+ One, strong line
+ Warranty door-to-door
+ Extensive wiring ...
- ... in small enclosures that can interfere
- A short warranty in relation to the 'technology' protracted life of the power supply and good quality capacitors
- Poor quality braid
- Too little connectors MOLEX
- Rigid cable 24-pin

Just get a seasonic power supply like the M12II 620 and be done with it. They are built like tanks.

 

[Aslaf]

Is 620w sufficient, even with oc'ed i5 and/or 290x lightning?

 

[Deleted member 217926]

650 watts is recommended for a 290X. Also the M12 II is a great power supply but I don't believe it's compatible with Haswell low power states.

 

[Aslaf]

So how about XFX Core 750W 135mm 80+ SLI PSU? Or 650w version?

 

[jay2577]

The XFX Core 750W PSU will be fine. It's a good PSU

 

[Aslaf]

Is xfx 650 too risky?

 

[jay2577]

The XFX 650 will be fine because it's a good quality PSU

i only said the 750watt so you had room for adding more components later if you wanted

 

[Deleted member 217926]

The XFX 650w is fine. All XFX units are made by Seasonic so they are top quality.
