XFX TS 650w bronze+

[Berti93]

I want to ask about your opinion about the TS series 650w bronze+, because I can only hear about the gold one, and only this is available right now for me and for my budget. I want to change my XFX 550pro to this because It struggles with my new gtx 970. Is it worth buying?

Thank you for your answers.

That psu is fine to use with that GTX 970. All XFX psu are good to use.
What do you mean by struggling?

 

[Novuake]

The XFX 550 should be more than enough for a GTX970.

Why do you think its struggling?

 

[Berti93]

Crashes, randomly restarting pc. And I know it is the psu because it makes a ticking sound before it does it, and only when my gtx970 is used to the max while gaming . I have an fx8120 with an artic freezer pro 13 and many fans too.

 

[Novuake]

Its possibly faulty. RMA it.

But yes, the 650w unit is a good choice.

 

[Berti93]

Oh, the sad truth is that I already sold it to somebody because I thought that it is just maxing out. But I gave him every paper so he can RMA it whenever he wants.
