Which of these 650W psu'?

Solution


I completely agree. The 650 g2 is a very good power supply, thats probably what I would buy if I was looking for a new psu.

FSP has been around for a long time and I doubt they have made as many bad, improperly rated power supplies as Super Flower. One good unit may be worth a purchase but don't judge the whole line by that. Look at the connections to see if it has what you need.

FSP makes many fantastic power supplies such as some of the be quiet dark power pro's. However the supernova NEX line and all EVGA g1 PSU'S weren't the best thing to come out of FSP, the superflower G2, GS, and B2 are far superior.

That's what I meant. I haven't seen many reviews of either although FSP does sell under their own name; without the bling. The only Super Flower to get any positive coverage was this unit.

Yah I agree superflower makes A LOT of great psu's. For A LOT of different vendors. They have some mediocre units but I would say as a whole superflower is a very good power supply manufacturer.

PC Power & Cooling got rave reviews years ago for performance but they were also incredibly loud.
I wouldn't advise anyone to limit themselves to the list http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html but Super Flower is there. Does the OP really need a tier 1 or 2 supply and 650 watts? No Super Flower listed in tier 3 or 4 but FSP is. There wasn't much difference in price so your point would be valid. If the OP is like you two he can listen to you. Saying very mediocre quality for FSP doesn't match my reading experience. The OP wanted real comparisons, not hyperbole. I don't have either so I'll bow out now.

Saying superflower is very mediocre quality does not match my experience, however I have personally encountered some real garbage FSP units especially some of the stuff they put in OEM machines. If you have "real" comparisons to provide then provide them because I dont want to hear your "hyperbole" either. The NEX made by FSP is a fine unit for the price but the OP said "which psu is better" so I told him.
