What is this Red switch for on my PSU? RAIDMAX RX-730SS

[Ferrariassassin]

Here is a link to the exact PSU i own and i do not mean the red button as it turns on the Blue LED. It did not come with instructions so i do not know.

That calculator is wrong.
It says my rig (In sig) requires 750w. It ran on a CX500 for 6 months before its capacitors failed. Now its running on my TR2 (I know, I know, Im looking to get it replaced soon as possible)


As for the topic at hand, you simply need a quality ~500w PSU.

Well i got an RMA issued from new egg so hopefuly they give me a refund. And do i need to have a PSU that is Haswell ready to be able to work with my i5-4590 and ASRock H97M Pro4 Motherboard or does it not matter? Because if it doesnt check out this PSU i found on Amazone it is the same prise as the SHitty Raidmax i bouht what do you all think?

You would have to ensure that C6/C7 power state support is disabled in the motherboard's BIOS setup if you're going to be using a non-Haswell ready PSU.

Well it would be more simpler to get one with it. Can you suggest a PSU that is in the range of 600 and up that is haswell enabled? I want to be able to plug and play ahha

What's wrong with the XFX TS Series P1550SXXB9 550W that @SR-71 Blackbird posted a link to?

Is it even a good brand? It looks like its in the same crappy league as the Raidmax. Also it is not Haswell supported, it may say it on the name but if you go to the items actual specificationsdown below it says it does not work with haswell and is not haswell ready.

That XFX PSU is made by Seasonic. Seasonic is a Tier 1 PSU designer and manufacturer. Raidmax uses the vastly inferior Andyson as their PSU designer and manufacturer.

There's a bullet point under the XFX TS Series P1550SXXB9 550W Features that says:

• Haswell Ready

Scroll down to the middle of the web page and it shows:

Haswell Ready

The series power supply is compatible with Intel 4th generation processors to use the new efficiency features.

Compatible with the newest Haswell based PCs to maximize power control and efficiency

Maybe it just says it is not Haswell ready by mistake. I just got confused because if you go to specifications on newegg.com on that model and scroll down it says haswell ready-NO lol it just confused me. But i hope the 550w is enough for everything haha

That's a Newegg.com error.

CPU-i5-4590 .......................................... 72 Watts
GPU-MSI R9 270 GAMING 2GB 256-Bit ... 195.7 Watts maximum at factory clock speeds while running FurMark Stability Testing

The XFX TS Series P1550SXXB9 550W should be more than sufficient to power that system configuration unless there are some components missing from your specs.

Lol so 550W would kick some serious ass even if i decided to get a stronger GPU huh lol. THanks man you have been a huge help

 

[vagrancyx]

I said that link was a good baseline didn't say it was perfect, I'd rather it over estimated than under estimated... in any case..if you don't know it beats posts on a forum to get a decent idea of what you need.

 

[Ferrariassassin]

Well thanks to everyone on here who has helped me. I am just a automotive technician and i never really messed with computers haha

 

[vagrancyx]

Thank you so much! One more question, here is the GPU i decided to get, should i still have enough power to use it? It is a SAPPHIRE DUAL-X 14-202-099 Radeon R9 280 3GB 384-Bit.
