Hi

I was decided to buy an EVGA Supernova p2 650W, but, after I read some reviews about this model, I discovered that it doesn't have over temperature protection (OTP). Should I be worried about this detail and buy another PSU?

Well, then I looked at the Corsair RM650i. It is as good as evga with ripple suppression, but there isn't a bypass relay to keep the thermistor cool, so I think it is not a good choice (correct if I am wrong). Then I looked the Seasonic x650. It has OTP, bypass relay, but the ripple suppression is not as good as the evga and corsair. So, I can't find the perfect 650w psu. What should I do?


Thanks very much =)
 
Solution
From EVGA site:
https://www.evga.com/articles/00722/

EVGA Standard Power Supply Safety Protections include:


OPP (Over Power Protection)
Protection from when a power supply exceeds its maximum rated capacity.
OVP (Over Voltage Protection)
Continuously checking the voltages at each rail point and will kick in if they surpass their set limits.
UVP (Under Voltage Protection)
Continuously checking the voltages at each rail point and will kick in if they surpass their set limits.
SCP (Short Circuit Protection)
Continuously monitoring the output rails and looks for impedance rates less than 0.1, if detected it immediately shuts down.
OCP (Over Current Protection)
Protects when...


Avoid CX series and CS series from corsair.

 


You didn't annoy me you're one of my favorite users on this site.
 


Ok. Thank you. And what about the thermaltake SMART PSU ?


 


Please make a separate thread.
 


Really? I just entered in this forum, how could I be one of your favorite users? hehehheh


Thanks.

 


Because very few people question things like you do and invoke intellectual discussion on power supplies.
 




Ah, thanks =)
