Everyone pulls this crap and we are just getting tired of it. Another coMpany in the last month basically  threateneD to withhold our review sample of their latest high profile product if we didn't fly to Italy for a briefing. 
 
Got better things to do with my time... 

Not to go into this again, but what in the actual hell is that abomination in thumbnail?

i don't work in that kind of field but it's going to be over 100$ because the soldering for it is hard and it's not sure where the damage is. either socket or slot side, replacement parts aren't something they'd keep in stock, it's not an iphone so they'd have to go find that too
 
keep in mind it might be your CPU that has an issue with detecting one of the channels (though unlikely)

Wanna make money during a gold rush?  Sell picks and shovels.

Thats okay, i took a screenshot.

who actually uses the pirate bay now...? 

I mean, you're realistically fine to keep your PSU but when you get a new GPU or CPU it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Stil no 4/4 Pentium? :,(

Masterbox 5 lite

Lol

can't wait for Linus rant on low-end GPUs. 

Would help to know the system specs, budget, currency... Any information would help, really. 

Please tell us your build so we can carefully recommend what's best for your system.
There's no use telling people to get 800W of SuperFlower Leadex Gold for a pentium/rx 460 build.

Credit to @Starelementpokeand @Energycore for helping out with this long-awaited refresh of the old PSU tier list by Aniallation (who previously went several months without logging in), leaving the old list in need of help. This is simply an update of the list that was flawed in creation by the PCMR subreddit and in dire need of a refresh.
 
This list is subject to change as new PSUs come out on a regular basis and standards may change or issues with units on the list may develop. A list of PSUs awaiting a tier on this list is at the bottom.

Currently awaiting more info
 
Some things on this list may not be perfect. Let me know if you believe a PSU is undeserving of its spot on here and provide links to back up your claim and it may be moved. 
 
Some helpful links:

How do you even grade these things? ***
But I don't like Tier Lists!!!!111!!!!
 

Not too good to be true, its crap.
 
a good 600w psu is much better than a cheap 600w psu.
 
Those cheap 600w psu's are often only able to ouput ~300w and then go boom

You were like 1 or 2 steps off, I always used to forget this. move every factor with D onto the same side on their own so you have 
3DU-3DK=....
 
factorise that side to
 
D(3U-3K)=...
 
then divide it all by that factor so you are left with B. this is what I beleive it is
D=-P+UY-KY/3U-3K
 
thing

You only have D left on the left hand side, multiplying two terms. Combine them, so D multiplies a difference (3U-3K). Move anything adding or subtracting to the right hand side with proper signs, then divide by (3U-3K).
 
You can also resume from your 3rd step: instead of distributing everything, you can go for
 
3D-Y = -P/(U-K)
 
D =    -P      +   Y  
       3(U-K)      3
 
With that in mind, I advice you to use my first paragraph to continue from your 4th line, and try to get to D = -P/3(U-K)+Y/3 from there as practice.
 
 

glad I haven't spent shit on computer stuff yet

PSU calculators often overestimate and are essentially random number generators. I would not be concerned at all.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6x GPUs in a system here I come

I love how the OP posted on the wrong subforum but got answered anyway.
 
For me I'd recommend RX 470 or GTX 1050Ti if you're on a budget, the latest generation generally is more power efficient and more powerful.

Luke made a video on this a while back, should be helpful for you 
 

NEVER cheap out on a power supply.

I have a used 10 year old Antec Earthwatts EA 380 (which same platform is used in the older S12II white models) and I don't think I am going to upgrade anytime soon, and if I was I would have to gift it to my incompetent  friend who just wasted $65 on shit.
 
A 5 year old Seasonic S12II B is perfectly fine and I would highly recommended.

any info on the E7 from be-quiet ? , I got an E7 450 powering my "bin bin" and even under full load it does not show any signs of being stressed (R9 290 + i7 2600 in furmark and aida)
(after 2 hours in a case its not even warm , exausts almost cold air and the thermalcouple I have on it shows 37c on the hottest spot I could find)
