Looking around, I've compiled a short list of decent-solid PSUs from lazada.sg. I don't know what your budget it, so I'll just post a range. https://www.lazada.sg/products/nzxt-e650-full-modular-650w-80-gold-psu-with-software-control-i308838496-s559208780.html?spm=a2o42.searchlistcategory.list.38.fee72f4eSsepyR&search=1 https://www.lazada.sg/products/cooler-master-mwe-gold-550-watt-fully-modular-compact-silent-fan-80-plus-gold-power-supply-i320816182-s633240284.html?spm=a2o42.searchlistcategory.list.66.fee72f4eSsepyR&search=1 https://www.lazada.sg/products/corsair-tx-m-series-tx550m-80-plus-gold-certified-semi-modular-power-supply-i214800565-s325622610.html?spm=a2o42.searchlistcategory.list.72.46af2f4e0LD4W1&search=1 https://www.lazada.sg/products/evga-supernova-650-g-80-plus-gold-650w-fully-modular-fdb-fan-10-year-warranty-includes-power-on-self-tester-power-supply-120-gp-0650-x3-i306730228-s549532108.html?spm=a2o42.searchlistcategory.list.34.60692f4eKNuN8V&search=1 https://www.lazada.sg/products/cooler-master-v1000-1000w-full-modular-80plus-gold-135mm-silent-fan-power-supply-rsa00-afbag1-5-years-warranty-i227015428-s346887112.html?spm=a2o42.searchlistcategory.list.54.60692f4eKNuN8V&search=1 https://www.lazada.sg/products/corsair-rmi-series-rm750i-80-plus-gold-certified-fully-modular-power-supply-i214795562-s325619388.html?spm=a2o42.searchlistcategory.list.56.60692f4eKNuN8V&search=1 https://www.lazada.sg/products/corsair-cs-cp-9020175-uk-psu-vengeance-650m-650-watt-80-silver-modular-power-supply-i346078283-s789954554.html?spm=a2o42.searchlistcategory.list.64.53c22fddRlpDpy&search=1 My personal pick from a budget standpoint here would be the Vengeance Silver (I am not familiar with the currency, so I don't actually know if this is a low price.) The best one from that list is the Corsair RMi, which is more than you need. If you want a heavy duty high end PSU: https://www.lazada.sg/products/corsair-hx-850-80-platinum-full-modular-power-supply-i327680630-s694390929.html?spm=a2o42.searchlistcategory.list.68.2a0b2fddpV9mMp&search=1 My personal pick is the Corsair HX, but you can't go wrong with the Seasonic Prime. I just prefer the HX more.

There's limited information on that PSU. Not even so much as a picture of the internals. It says it's a 600w PSU but there's only 450w of usable power. (Usable power is the 12v rail). So you basically have a 450w PSU. This indicates to me that it's a horribly designed group regulated unit. According to the spec sheet, it has all protections except over current protection. Considering it's single rail, the 12v has 37amps, so that's pretty standard. But I would honestly throw this PSU in the trash can. There's no confirmation that most of the protections actually work and that it has a horrid secondary side design as far as group regulation is concerned. I'd get a Corsair RMx or a Bitfenix Whisper M since you want to power a 2080ti.

Like I said before, get a new PSU when you can. That High Power lacks protections and is group regulated, so it's a risk to run it. When you can, switch over to a Corsair CX450 (2017)

Normal? Sure. But certainly not good. More often than not, crossloads go out of spec which potentially damages hardware. Group regulated is never good and should never be acceptable. The review doesn't do a proper test, so we can only speculate. Unless there's a proper review stating otherwise, I'll assume crossloads go out of spec. http://www.razorman.net/reviewshardware/review-high-power-element-smart-650w/4/ I see a lot of Teapos, but this isn't the greatest review, admittedly. Just because it's done in a lot of budget units, doesn't mean it's ideal. Yes, miles better. DC-DC Converts, Half-bridge topology, modern capacitors (Which have overall been improved over the years). Teapo nowadays overall isn't bad like a lot of reviewers say they are. You have to look at the model anyway to determine whether or not it's a good one. You're looking at wattage and power consumption, I'm looking about how the PSU is built. Corsair CX450 is my recommendation. Better protected, the important stuff is in spec, and adheres to most of Intel's ATX specs. EDIT: I am extremely critical about power supplies. I let very little slide.

Doesn't look good. It doesn't output its full rated power at the 12v rail, which is the usable power. This indicates to me that it's group regulated. Already, that makes this PSU a bad one. According to the specsheet on High Power's website, the PSU lacks over temperature protection and overcurrent protection, that's another immediate disqualifier. It has a lot of older Teapo capacitors rated only at 85c. Teapo wasn't always a great thing to see back then and this being rated at 85c is another red flag. Overall, no, I would not use this PSU. Definitely not to power a 1070ti. You potentially risk your system running it. I would make the switch to a Corsair CX450 (2017). It's cheap and miles better than your current PSU, don't worry, 450w is plenty of power. This statement is largely false. Just because it's a big OEM does not mean all their platforms are good. This PSU in question is not good from what I've stated above.

You'll be perfectly fine with a 550w unit. CPU draws about 120-150w at most and I believe that's it overclocked/ GPU would draw at around 250w. So, peak loads would be around the 400w mark which is plenty of headroom and this is under a heavy load.

If it was a terrible PSU, sure. The Prime Fanless is overly expensive, but not a bad unit. There's a couple other units that aren't so bad, like the Digifanless. I mean, that depends on the model in question. The Prime Fanless Titanium still reached 90%+ efficiency but it does run hotter because there is no direct airflow. It's overly expensive and not worth it, imo. You can get a few silent units like the Bitfenix Whisper M or Corsair RMx at less of a price and still achieve low noise.

150$? Tbh, go for a Bitfenix Whisper M 650w or up. Quad rails, excellent performance and build quality, pretty quiet operation, well protected.

Dark Power Pro utilizes a better primary side topology, which is more efficient at its task. The DPP is also platinum efficiency. Nothing major but still a nice to have. iirc, it has a better fan and it will have better internals. It is also still Multi-rail (Four 12v rails). DPP is an overall upgrade to the SP11. Don't worry about average lifetime. It's not possible to extrapolate an accurate or definitive lifespan for a PSU, as it varies far too wildly. EDIT: I want to note that just because a PSU is single rail, doesn't mean it's bad. Take for instance the Corsair RMx or the EVGA G2/P2/T2.

Raidmax doesn't have any good PSUs out there. All of their units lack over temperature protection. There is one non-modular PSU I know of, but I think its maximum wattage is 850w: Bitfenix Formula Gold. Honestly, I wouldn't look at modularity, just look for a good PSU. The PSU's I've mentioned earlier are excellent picks.

My personal pick with be the MWE Gold. I don't know too much about EVGA GD and there's no reviews of it. Since it's EVGA, I'd stay away unless a review says it's good.

Multi-rail is always better, when properly configured. I'd say get a Corsair RMi, as that's multi-rail or the Bitfenix Whisper M 850w. You can also opt for Corsair's HXs (grey label) or AXi's (1000w and up) If you're in the UK, the be quiet! Straight Power 11 is also an excellent choice.

Sure, peak loads are at 350w. Overclocking would probably push it to 500w at most unless for whatever reason he decides to XOC. Not saying he should change the PSU but simply be made aware of the issue. PSU is fine if it's pulled within the rated wattage range.

Both of those units are trailer trash. The thermaltake Smart is akin to the S12II (Not on the same platform, mind you) but it's group regulated, lacks OTP, UVP and OCP. Terrible unit That old Corsair unit is also ancient and I am willing to bet that it's also group regulated and at least lacks OTP. I highly recommend a Corsair CX450 (2017) (Not to be confused with the CXM, although that's a good unit as well. The CX is just better.)

That'll pull under 550w, but beware to not overload it. Overloading it poses a high chances of damaging hardware. Unfortunately flaw with the Focus+

The EVGA GQ is "Decent" Nothing great but it's not a bad PSU. If you found one for 60$, I'd say that's a good buy.

The Corsair RMi is a solid PSU. It's better than the RMx due to the multi-rail configuration. It's not as well priced as the RMx so it seldom gets recommended. The RMi is a fine choice to power your PC.

RMx is great, but it's quite expensive nowadays. In the US, it often goes from 90-120$. Corsair CX (2017) is honestly the best budget unit out there averaging around 50$. Corsair TXM is also a solid option. But don't forget! You also have the Bitfenix Whisper M (650w and up specifically), which I would argue, is better than the RMx simply due to the multi-rail configuration.

There's two versions. There is the older one. I don't remember much details about that, but iirc, it's bronze rated, double forward. There's the new Vengeance, which is silver rated (But achieves platinum at certain loads), DC-DC, and half-bridge. The Vengeance Silver is a solid unit overall. Not sure about the old one.

A PSU can be responsible for killing certain components. It can kill anything it's connected to if it's bad enough. Also, I'm not sure where you're going with the whole GPU thing. Care to elaborate?

Well, remember: Brand doesn't matter. EVGA has a lot of shitty PSUs on their lineup as well. For instance: N1, W1, B1, B2, B3, G1, G3(I'll explain that one), BT, BV, BR. G3 I consider to not be recommendable due to two things: Iffy protections (OPP is set too high) and I've been reading various reports of them randomly popping. Be quiet! has so many PSUs, I can't remember all of them If we ignore Corsair's old PSUs (2014 and older) they have a solid track record. Only bad unit being the VS due to it being group regulated and an improperly working UVP.

Easily. I don't know why more people do it.

In conclusion: Don't get a Seasonic Focus. There are better protected units out there. You can nab yourself an RMx, which is more silent and better protected. Hell, I'd even recommend a Corsair CX (2017) over a Focus. You also have the Bitfenix Formula Gold and Whisper M which are often in the 78-100$ price range.

There are several difference between the Focus and System Power 9. The Focus is overall higher quality, but since it's based on the same platform as the Focus +, there's an OCP issue present there. System Power 9 is also very well made, but has a weaker secondary side, which isn't as great when paired with higher end GPUs. But due to the protection issues present in the Focus, I'll have to lean towards the System Power 9. But If I may present an alternative option: Corsair CX550. Well built and fully protected. Yes and no. No, as it doesn't mean anything to quality. Yes as in the Seasonic is covered for 2 years longer. It's not as important as some may lead you to believe. You can save a few bucks with higher efficiency units and they do tend to run cooler and can be more silent. Thought this isn't always the case. Efficicency doesn't mean quality, however Honestly, I'd just get a Corsair CX450 or CX550. Overall, it's a better unit.

You'll be fine. I don't expect that system to draw much more than 350w at any given time.
