And this sort of shortsighted research is why people end up with crappy high-output units rather than lower-output, high-quality units that power their system fine

Sounds like a protection kicking in on your PSU, though it could be any number of things. Could be a short causing your motherboard to reset too. The only way to test for that is to leave your PC on a cardboard box for a while and see if the issue still occurs. If it's happening once per month then I don't know what to tell ya.

@Stefan Paynewould be proud 

Haha alright, Im gonna go with the be quiet then, thank you very much for your help! :))

You plug in the unit and power it on with your hardware running. That's the best way for 99% of people.
 
The other 1% can afford a many thousand dollar SunMoon load tester.

That unit is very expensive but very good. Don't worry about that thing blowing up your components. That guy might have had brownouts in his area frequently, might have used cables from another PSU, might have just gotten a defective unit, etc.

I mentioned the be quiet Straight Power E10, did I not?
You should look up the E10. ANd you'll see that its the same internally as the GQ.
 
That's your oppionion, not based in facts as Caps aren't the only thing that can or will fail, as @jonnyGURU mentioned a couple of dozend times, the MOSFETs are not least important. Or what do you say about exploding +5VSB Chips? 
 
And nobody said that the CXM is better, especially I did not say that. I only said that the GQ isn't great and that the G2 is the far better PSU.
So stop putting words in peoples mouths that they didn't say!
 
its still ACRF based, the G2 is LLC-Resonant mode as is the Corsair CX, non M.
And GQ doesn't look that good:

That 
 
What's in the Past is in the Past, we live in now.
And now be quiet doesn't have a single shit ATX PSU in their Lineup, EVGA does.
 
And be quiet does - as the name sugest, rather quietish PSU. EVGA does not.
Yeah and most of what they have is not better than the competion, on the contrary!
ALmost all PSU that EVGA has are worse than the competition!!
 
There isn't a single one that is standing out, that does anything better than the competition does.
be quiet does have such units, Corsair does, Bitfenix does, hell even Cougar does. EVGA does not.
Naa, the BQ isn't Active Clamp, the GQ is. See above there is a Test from Aris that wasn't that great...
And that's why I said the G2 is the far better unit, even if it is a bit more expensive.
 
Yes, its that old. It was first seen in the be quiet Straight Power E10, that was released in 2014.
And to make it worse, its a modified Aurum Design wich the E9 is based on (and I never really liked as the E8 was awesome at the time) that makes it independently reguated. 
 
And right now its used in the Pure Power 10.

More than 250W leeway in a 300W PC? Why?

California says everything is carcinogenic. It's fine, it just means that there was a (possibly) carcinogenic substance used to make it.
 
Hell, quiet a few foods are carcinogenic.

That unit is very expensive but very good. Don't worry about that thing blowing up your components. That guy might have had brownouts in his area frequently, might have used cables from another PSU, might have just gotten a defective unit, etc.

Dude, you are closing your eyes before the facts and it makes no sense to talk to you further about PSU.
So you need to have your PSU fail in the same way and kill your PC before you understand what I was trying to say.
 
 
So it makes no sense to talk to you further as you are only deflecting the facts and the Issues.
 
The issue is that the PC is very tolerant about dirty voltages, that can kill your shit. But you don't want to listen or to understand, so I'm out.
And I recommend other people to do the same.
 
 
If you want to use ancient PSU with modern components, it will cause problems and you will loose your Hardware sooner than necessary.

Some funny suggestions here. 
 
Anyway. The P2 isn't particularly quiet, there's been nearly monthly topics where different users were complaining about its noise. If you like noise, you could go with the G3, as it's among the loudest PSUs on the market. It even has the added bonus that some of the protections don't work properly.
 
980 Tis are 250W cards, so assuming a 300W overclock, that leaves 150W for the rest of the system, which should be plenty. Assuming you're running a mainstream platform and not HEDT. 
Also, do keep in mind that multi GPU support isn't great, and that using a single, higher end GPU will perform better, quite consistently. And a custom loop can quickly come up to the cost of a high end GPU. 
 
Without knowing what's available, or the prices, the Straight Power 11, Dark Power Pro 11, HX, HXi, RMx 2018, RMx or Prime Ultra Titanium would be good options. The 750-850W versions for if you want to run multiple GPU, 550W for single GPU. 

You're joking, right? A 10 year old group regulated PSU is nowhere close to even a budget unit like the CX450 or Pure Power 10. 

Stop using crappy PSUs? And yes, a decade old PSU is crappy. 

Remember, there's a Focus Gold and a Focus Plus Gold. 
 
Not that we needed any more confusing PSU schemes like EVGA has.

I replied to your other post. 
 
For those wondering I suggested an EVGA 500B. It's not a great unit but look at this guy's system....

Most people aren't even aware of the inline capacitors, what they are and what they do. Where they do make a difference, is in ripple suppression.

I. Don't. Think. He. Claimed. That.
 
Not really, no. The RMx is a very good unit.

And? It's still decent quality, when did he claim the Formula was modular?

I know how 80plus rating is measured, but that doesn't give a good representation of efficiency curve (Just 50% is usually more efficient than 100% and 20%), since it only checks 20%, 50% and 100%, and nothing inbetween.

Don't use PSU calculators, they are crap and overestimate by a ton. With a 1050 Ti system, you'll draw well under 200W on 12V with most tasks, and as near as makes no difference nothing on the minor rails. 

Thermaltake has good units and bad units like Corsair, EVGA, Seasonic, etc. So never make a blanket statement about a brand. Each brand has to manufacture a super low-end unit because the market demands it. That super low-end unit is not going to even remotely rival the likes of the top-of-the-line units of each respective brand.\
 
The GX is too new for any reviews to have surfaced, so don't buy it. If the Corsair TXM isn't available, can you get PSUs from Seasonic, EVGA, Bitfenix, Antec, be Quiet, etc?

the best PSU calculator to use is a good old-fashioned review. PSU calculators usually overestimate to the point where they're more random number generators than anything else.
a good 450w PSU will be more than enough for a 1060.
