    LukeSavenije got a reaction from Jacob_1999 in Who Do You Fold For?   
    I fold for everyone
     
    maybe too for some people i know
     
    but i fold to fold, to have others in the future profit from it

    LukeSavenije got a reaction from da na in What is the oldest PC you consider still useful?   
    I mean... a singlecore with 1 gigs of ram can run windows 10
     
    I'm not saying it's well usable, but it's possible

    LukeSavenije got a reaction from WiteRookie in [EOL] PSU Tier List rev. 14.8   
    PSU Tier List 4.0 rev. 14.8 (END OF LIFE)
    Last Update: 27-07-2021

    Legend :
    Gray - EoL/obsolete and/or otherwise not recommended for purchase.
    Green - small form-factor (gold and blue colors are disregarded due to scarcity of SFX PSUs)
    Gold - best units in the tier (includes requirements for blue color in tier A)
    Blue - quiet operation under moderate load (see details in the spreadsheet)
    Hyphen / Dash - Series / lineups separator
    Slash - Models (inside one series) separator
    Parenthesis / Round brackets - Model variations (which belong to the same position)
    Square brackets - Additional description (wattage range, part of SKU code, label / casing color, release year)
    Numbers in red colored square brackets - footnotes, see descritptions at the end of respective tiers
    Low priority subtiers - Lack of info (no reviews) or minor issues (see the corresponding tab in the spreadsheet). Not recommended for purchase over any normal priority units.
    Multi-rail units - Not necessarily better than single-rail units but provide an extra layer of protection by having 12V OCP set lower than total capacity, which is especially relevant for very high capacity units (=>1kW). Pay attention to rails configuration when using with high power draw components to avoid shutdowns.

    See spreadsheet for changelog, methodology, detailed description of colors, review sources, notes on grayed-out units including issues like GPU incompatibility or quality and performance issues, and other additional info.

    [1] Units experiencing tripping issues with high transient power draw GPUs like AMD Vega, 6900 XT and nVidia RTX3080 / 3080 Ti / 3090.
    [2] Corsair SF units with LOT codes from 194448* through 201148* have potential problems, Corsair conducts a voluntary replacement, source.
    [3] Units that don't reach full rated capacity under full rated input voltage range.
    [4] Antec EA Pro Gold has versions for Chinese market made by FSP on competely different, worse, group-regulated platform (tier D). Source #1, #2.
    [5] Corsair HX1200 and HX1200i units with LOT codes in range between 2030* and 2041* may exhibit motherboard compatibility issues, entitled for advanced RMA, source.
    [6] Early EVGA G3 revisions had issues with out-of-spec performance under overload.
    [7] Older Seasonic Focus revisions (made before 2018) had transient sensitivity issues. Some new SKUs are not affected because they were released later (Seasonic Focus GM/GX/PX refreshes, Phanteks AMP, NZXT C/E etc.).
    [8] Seasonic PRIME based units experience shutdowns with RTX3080/3090 (and possibly RX6900 XT) GPUs, especially ones with unlocked power limit like FE and ASUS Strix. It is recommended, if going with such units, to overprovision wattage, 1kW for RTX3080 and 1.2kW for RTX3090, or power-limit the GPU, or performing a 'dirty' fix of disconnecting a pin of 12V V-sense wire from PSU-side connector of 24-pin motherboard cable (courtesy of Jonny Guru). Units based on post-2018 revisions of Seasonic Focus platform and majority of units by other OEMs are not affected.

    [1] MWE V2 units have high ripple issues on very low load also resulting in increased coil whine, fix pending.
    [2] High wattage CWT GPX based units have problems with failing burn-in test under sub 90VAC input, treat as 230V only, (Jonny Guru).
    [3] Units experiencing tripping issues with high transient power draw GPUs like AMD Vega and high-end nVidia Ampere.
    [4] Two versions of Segotep GP-G exist, older v1 version is non-LLC resonant and they're very hard to extinguish externally, hence model tiering based on v1.

    Last Update: 27-07-2021

    Legend :
    Gray - EoL/obsolete and/or otherwise not recommended for purchase.
    Green - small form-factor (gold and blue colors are disregarded due to scarcity of SFX PSUs)
    Gold - best units in the tier (includes requirements for blue color in tier A)
    Blue - quiet operation under moderate load (see details in the spreadsheet)
    Hyphen / Dash - Series / lineups separator
    Slash - Models (inside one series) separator
    Parenthesis / Round brackets - Model variations (which belong to the same position)
    Square brackets - Additional description (wattage range, part of SKU code, label / casing color, release year)
    Numbers in red colored square brackets - footnotes, see descritptions at the end of respective tiers
    Low priority subtiers - Lack of info (no reviews) or minor issues (see the corresponding tab in the spreadsheet). Not recommended for purchase over any normal priority units.
    Multi-rail units - Not necessarily better than single-rail units but provide an extra layer of protection by having 12V OCP set lower than total capacity, which is especially relevant for very high capacity units (=>1kW). Pay attention to rails configuration when using with high power draw components to avoid shutdowns.

    See spreadsheet for changelog, methodology, detailed description of colors, review sources, notes on grayed-out units including issues like GPU incompatibility or quality and performance issues, and other additional info.

    [2] Corsair SF units with LOT codes from 194448* through 201148* have potential problems, Corsair conducts a voluntary replacement, source.
    [3] Units that don't reach full rated capacity under full rated input voltage range.
    [4] Antec EA Pro Gold has versions for Chinese market made by FSP on competely different, worse, group-regulated platform (tier D). Source #1, #2.
    [5] Corsair HX1200 and HX1200i units with LOT codes in range between 2030* and 2041* may exhibit motherboard compatibility issues, entitled for advanced RMA, source.
    [6] Early EVGA G3 revisions had issues with out-of-spec performance under overload.
    [7] Older Seasonic Focus revisions (made before 2018) had transient sensitivity issues. Some new SKUs are not affected because they were released later (Seasonic Focus GM/GX/PX refreshes, Phanteks AMP, NZXT C/E etc.).
    [8] Seasonic PRIME based units experience shutdowns with RTX3080/3090 (and possibly RX6900 XT) GPUs, especially ones with unlocked power limit like FE and ASUS Strix. It is recommended, if going with such units, to overprovision wattage, 1kW for RTX3080 and 1.2kW for RTX3090, or power-limit the GPU, or performing a 'dirty' fix of disconnecting a pin of 12V V-sense wire from PSU-side connector of 24-pin motherboard cable (courtesy of Jonny Guru). Units based on post-2018 revisions of Seasonic Focus platform and majority of units by other OEMs are not affected.

    [1] MWE V2 units have high ripple issues on very low load also resulting in increased coil whine, fix pending.
    [2] High wattage CWT GPX based units have problems with failing burn-in test under sub 90VAC input, treat as 230V only, (Jonny Guru).
    [3] Units experiencing tripping issues with high transient power draw GPUs like AMD Vega and high-end nVidia Ampere.
    [4] Two versions of Segotep GP-G exist, older v1 version is non-LLC resonant and they're very hard to extinguish externally, hence model tiering based on v1.

    PSU Tier List 4.0 rev. 14.8 (END OF LIFE)
    Last Update: 27-07-2021

    Legend :
    Gray - EoL/obsolete and/or otherwise not recommended for purchase.
    Green - small form-factor (gold and blue colors are disregarded due to scarcity of SFX PSUs)
    Gold - best units in the tier (includes requirements for blue color in tier A)
    Blue - quiet operation under moderate load (see details in the spreadsheet)
    Hyphen / Dash - Series / lineups separator
    Slash - Models (inside one series) separator
    Parenthesis / Round brackets - Model variations (which belong to the same position)
    Square brackets - Additional description (wattage range, part of SKU code, label / casing color, release year)
    Numbers in red colored square brackets - footnotes, see descritptions at the end of respective tiers
    Low priority subtiers - Lack of info (no reviews) or minor issues (see the corresponding tab in the spreadsheet). Not recommended for purchase over any normal priority units.
    Multi-rail units - Not necessarily better than single-rail units but provide an extra layer of protection by having 12V OCP set lower than total capacity, which is especially relevant for very high capacity units (=>1kW). Pay attention to rails configuration when using with high power draw components to avoid shutdowns.

    See spreadsheet for changelog, methodology, detailed description of colors, review sources, notes on grayed-out units including issues like GPU incompatibility or quality and performance issues, and other additional info.

    [1] Units experiencing tripping issues with high transient power draw GPUs like AMD Vega, 6900 XT and nVidia RTX3080 / 3080 Ti / 3090.
    [2] Corsair SF units with LOT codes from 194448* through 201148* have potential problems, Corsair conducts a voluntary replacement, source.
    [3] Units that don't reach full rated capacity under full rated input voltage range.
    [4] Antec EA Pro Gold has versions for Chinese market made by FSP on competely different, worse, group-regulated platform (tier D). Source #1, #2.
    [5] Corsair HX1200 and HX1200i units with LOT codes in range between 2030* and 2041* may exhibit motherboard compatibility issues, entitled for advanced RMA, source.
    [6] Early EVGA G3 revisions had issues with out-of-spec performance under overload.
    [7] Older Seasonic Focus revisions (made before 2018) had transient sensitivity issues. Some new SKUs are not affected because they were released later (Seasonic Focus GM/GX/PX refreshes, Phanteks AMP, NZXT C/E etc.).
    [8] Seasonic PRIME based units experience shutdowns with RTX3080/3090 (and possibly RX6900 XT) GPUs, especially ones with unlocked power limit like FE and ASUS Strix. It is recommended, if going with such units, to overprovision wattage, 1kW for RTX3080 and 1.2kW for RTX3090, or power-limit the GPU, or performing a 'dirty' fix of disconnecting a pin of 12V V-sense wire from PSU-side connector of 24-pin motherboard cable (courtesy of Jonny Guru). Units based on post-2018 revisions of Seasonic Focus platform and majority of units by other OEMs are not affected.

    [1] MWE V2 units have high ripple issues on very low load also resulting in increased coil whine, fix pending.
    [2] High wattage CWT GPX based units have problems with failing burn-in test under sub 90VAC input, treat as 230V only, (Jonny Guru).
    [3] Units experiencing tripping issues with high transient power draw GPUs like AMD Vega and high-end nVidia Ampere.
    [4] Two versions of Segotep GP-G exist, older v1 version is non-LLC resonant and they're very hard to extinguish externally, hence model tiering based on v1.

    PSU Tier List 4.0 rev. 14.8 (END OF LIFE)
    Last Update: 27-07-2021

    Legend :
    Gray - EoL/obsolete and/or otherwise not recommended for purchase.
    Green - small form-factor (gold and blue colors are disregarded due to scarcity of SFX PSUs)
    Gold - best units in the tier (includes requirements for blue color in tier A)
    Blue - quiet operation under moderate load (see details in the spreadsheet)
    Hyphen / Dash - Series / lineups separator
    Slash - Models (inside one series) separator
    Parenthesis / Round brackets - Model variations (which belong to the same position)
    Square brackets - Additional description (wattage range, part of SKU code, label / casing color, release year)
    Numbers in red colored square brackets - footnotes, see descritptions at the end of respective tiers
    Low priority subtiers - Lack of info (no reviews) or minor issues (see the corresponding tab in the spreadsheet). Not recommended for purchase over any normal priority units.
    Multi-rail units - Not necessarily better than single-rail units but provide an extra layer of protection by having 12V OCP set lower than total capacity, which is especially relevant for very high capacity units (=>1kW). Pay attention to rails configuration when using with high power draw components to avoid shutdowns.

    See spreadsheet for changelog, methodology, detailed description of colors, review sources, notes on grayed-out units including issues like GPU incompatibility or quality and performance issues, and other additional info.

    [2] Corsair SF units with LOT codes from 194448* through 201148* have potential problems, Corsair conducts a voluntary replacement, source.
    [3] Units that don't reach full rated capacity under full rated input voltage range.
    [4] Antec EA Pro Gold has versions for Chinese market made by FSP on competely different, worse, group-regulated platform (tier D). Source #1, #2.
    [5] Corsair HX1200 and HX1200i units with LOT codes in range between 2030* and 2041* may exhibit motherboard compatibility issues, entitled for advanced RMA, source.
    [6] Early EVGA G3 revisions had issues with out-of-spec performance under overload.
    [7] Older Seasonic Focus revisions (made before 2018) had transient sensitivity issues. Some new SKUs are not affected because they were released later (Seasonic Focus GM/GX/PX refreshes, Phanteks AMP, NZXT C/E etc.).
    [8] Seasonic PRIME based units experience shutdowns with RTX3080/3090 (and possibly RX6900 XT) GPUs, especially ones with unlocked power limit like FE and ASUS Strix. It is recommended, if going with such units, to overprovision wattage, 1kW for RTX3080 and 1.2kW for RTX3090, or power-limit the GPU, or performing a 'dirty' fix of disconnecting a pin of 12V V-sense wire from PSU-side connector of 24-pin motherboard cable (courtesy of Jonny Guru). Units based on post-2018 revisions of Seasonic Focus platform and majority of units by other OEMs are not affected.

    [1] MWE V2 units have high ripple issues on very low load also resulting in increased coil whine, fix pending.
    [2] High wattage CWT GPX based units have problems with failing burn-in test under sub 90VAC input, treat as 230V only, (Jonny Guru).
    [3] Units experiencing tripping issues with high transient power draw GPUs like AMD Vega and high-end nVidia Ampere.
    [4] Two versions of Segotep GP-G exist, older v1 version is non-LLC resonant and they're very hard to extinguish externally, hence model tiering based on v1.

    LukeSavenije got a reaction from Phaerithm in [EOL] PSU Tier List rev. 14.8   
    PSU Tier List 4.0 rev. 14.8 (END OF LIFE)
    Last Update: 27-07-2021

    Legend :
    Gray - EoL/obsolete and/or otherwise not recommended for purchase.
    Green - small form-factor (gold and blue colors are disregarded due to scarcity of SFX PSUs)
    Gold - best units in the tier (includes requirements for blue color in tier A)
    Blue - quiet operation under moderate load (see details in the spreadsheet)
    Hyphen / Dash - Series / lineups separator
    Slash - Models (inside one series) separator
    Parenthesis / Round brackets - Model variations (which belong to the same position)
    Square brackets - Additional description (wattage range, part of SKU code, label / casing color, release year)
    Numbers in red colored square brackets - footnotes, see descritptions at the end of respective tiers
    Low priority subtiers - Lack of info (no reviews) or minor issues (see the corresponding tab in the spreadsheet). Not recommended for purchase over any normal priority units.
    Multi-rail units - Not necessarily better than single-rail units but provide an extra layer of protection by having 12V OCP set lower than total capacity, which is especially relevant for very high capacity units (=>1kW). Pay attention to rails configuration when using with high power draw components to avoid shutdowns.

    See spreadsheet for changelog, methodology, detailed description of colors, review sources, notes on grayed-out units including issues like GPU incompatibility or quality and performance issues, and other additional info.

    [1] Units experiencing tripping issues with high transient power draw GPUs like AMD Vega, 6900 XT and nVidia RTX3080 / 3080 Ti / 3090.
    [2] Corsair SF units with LOT codes from 194448* through 201148* have potential problems, Corsair conducts a voluntary replacement, source.
    [3] Units that don't reach full rated capacity under full rated input voltage range.
    [4] Antec EA Pro Gold has versions for Chinese market made by FSP on competely different, worse, group-regulated platform (tier D). Source #1, #2.
    [5] Corsair HX1200 and HX1200i units with LOT codes in range between 2030* and 2041* may exhibit motherboard compatibility issues, entitled for advanced RMA, source.
    [6] Early EVGA G3 revisions had issues with out-of-spec performance under overload.
    [7] Older Seasonic Focus revisions (made before 2018) had transient sensitivity issues. Some new SKUs are not affected because they were released later (Seasonic Focus GM/GX/PX refreshes, Phanteks AMP, NZXT C/E etc.).
    [8] Seasonic PRIME based units experience shutdowns with RTX3080/3090 (and possibly RX6900 XT) GPUs, especially ones with unlocked power limit like FE and ASUS Strix. It is recommended, if going with such units, to overprovision wattage, 1kW for RTX3080 and 1.2kW for RTX3090, or power-limit the GPU, or performing a 'dirty' fix of disconnecting a pin of 12V V-sense wire from PSU-side connector of 24-pin motherboard cable (courtesy of Jonny Guru). Units based on post-2018 revisions of Seasonic Focus platform and majority of units by other OEMs are not affected.

    [1] MWE V2 units have high ripple issues on very low load also resulting in increased coil whine, fix pending.
    [2] High wattage CWT GPX based units have problems with failing burn-in test under sub 90VAC input, treat as 230V only, (Jonny Guru).
    [3] Units experiencing tripping issues with high transient power draw GPUs like AMD Vega and high-end nVidia Ampere.
    [4] Two versions of Segotep GP-G exist, older v1 version is non-LLC resonant and they're very hard to extinguish externally, hence model tiering based on v1.

    Legend :
    Gray - EoL/obsolete and/or otherwise not recommended for purchase.
    Green - small form-factor (gold and blue colors are disregarded due to scarcity of SFX PSUs)
    Gold - best units in the tier (includes requirements for blue color in tier A)
    Blue - quiet operation under moderate load (see details in the spreadsheet)
    Hyphen / Dash - Series / lineups separator
    Slash - Models (inside one series) separator
    Parenthesis / Round brackets - Model variations (which belong to the same position)
    Square brackets - Additional description (wattage range, part of SKU code, label / casing color, release year)
    Numbers in red colored square brackets - footnotes, see descritptions at the end of respective tiers
    Low priority subtiers - Lack of info (no reviews) or minor issues (see the corresponding tab in the spreadsheet). Not recommended for purchase over any normal priority units.
    Multi-rail units - Not necessarily better than single-rail units but provide an extra layer of protection by having 12V OCP set lower than total capacity, which is especially relevant for very high capacity units (=>1kW). Pay attention to rails configuration when using with high power draw components to avoid shutdowns.

    See spreadsheet for changelog, methodology, detailed description of colors, review sources, notes on grayed-out units including issues like GPU incompatibility or quality and performance issues, and other additional info.

    [1] Units experiencing tripping issues with high transient power draw GPUs like AMD Vega, 6900 XT and nVidia RTX3080 / 3080 Ti / 3090.
    [2] Corsair SF units with LOT codes from 194448* through 201148* have potential problems, Corsair conducts a voluntary replacement, source.
    [3] Units that don't reach full rated capacity under full rated input voltage range.
    [4] Antec EA Pro Gold has versions for Chinese market made by FSP on competely different, worse, group-regulated platform (tier D). Source #1, #2.
    [5] Corsair HX1200 and HX1200i units with LOT codes in range between 2030* and 2041* may exhibit motherboard compatibility issues, entitled for advanced RMA, source.
    [6] Early EVGA G3 revisions had issues with out-of-spec performance under overload.
    [7] Older Seasonic Focus revisions (made before 2018) had transient sensitivity issues. Some new SKUs are not affected because they were released later (Seasonic Focus GM/GX/PX refreshes, Phanteks AMP, NZXT C/E etc.).
    [8] Seasonic PRIME based units experience shutdowns with RTX3080/3090 (and possibly RX6900 XT) GPUs, especially ones with unlocked power limit like FE and ASUS Strix. It is recommended, if going with such units, to overprovision wattage, 1kW for RTX3080 and 1.2kW for RTX3090, or power-limit the GPU, or performing a 'dirty' fix of disconnecting a pin of 12V V-sense wire from PSU-side connector of 24-pin motherboard cable (courtesy of Jonny Guru). Units based on post-2018 revisions of Seasonic Focus platform and majority of units by other OEMs are not affected.

    [1] MWE V2 units have high ripple issues on very low load also resulting in increased coil whine, fix pending.
    [2] High wattage CWT GPX based units have problems with failing burn-in test under sub 90VAC input, treat as 230V only, (Jonny Guru).
    [3] Units experiencing tripping issues with high transient power draw GPUs like AMD Vega and high-end nVidia Ampere.
    [4] Two versions of Segotep GP-G exist, older v1 version is non-LLC resonant and they're very hard to extinguish externally, hence model tiering based on v1.

    LukeSavenije got a reaction from The Mighty Beetle in [EOL] PSU Tier List rev. 14.8   
    PSU Tier List 4.0 rev. 14.8 (END OF LIFE)
    Last Update: 27-07-2021

    Legend :
    Gray - EoL/obsolete and/or otherwise not recommended for purchase.
    Green - small form-factor (gold and blue colors are disregarded due to scarcity of SFX PSUs)
    Gold - best units in the tier (includes requirements for blue color in tier A)
    Blue - quiet operation under moderate load (see details in the spreadsheet)
    Hyphen / Dash - Series / lineups separator
    Slash - Models (inside one series) separator
    Parenthesis / Round brackets - Model variations (which belong to the same position)
    Square brackets - Additional description (wattage range, part of SKU code, label / casing color, release year)
    Numbers in red colored square brackets - footnotes, see descritptions at the end of respective tiers
    Low priority subtiers - Lack of info (no reviews) or minor issues (see the corresponding tab in the spreadsheet). Not recommended for purchase over any normal priority units.
    Multi-rail units - Not necessarily better than single-rail units but provide an extra layer of protection by having 12V OCP set lower than total capacity, which is especially relevant for very high capacity units (=>1kW). Pay attention to rails configuration when using with high power draw components to avoid shutdowns.

    See spreadsheet for changelog, methodology, detailed description of colors, review sources, notes on grayed-out units including issues like GPU incompatibility or quality and performance issues, and other additional info.

    [3] Units that don't reach full rated capacity under full rated input voltage range.
    [4] Antec EA Pro Gold has versions for Chinese market made by FSP on competely different, worse, group-regulated platform (tier D). Source #1, #2.
    [5] Corsair HX1200 and HX1200i units with LOT codes in range between 2030* and 2041* may exhibit motherboard compatibility issues, entitled for advanced RMA, source.
    [6] Early EVGA G3 revisions had issues with out-of-spec performance under overload.
    [7] Older Seasonic Focus revisions (made before 2018) had transient sensitivity issues. Some new SKUs are not affected because they were released later (Seasonic Focus GM/GX/PX refreshes, Phanteks AMP, NZXT C/E etc.).
    [8] Seasonic PRIME based units experience shutdowns with RTX3080/3090 (and possibly RX6900 XT) GPUs, especially ones with unlocked power limit like FE and ASUS Strix. It is recommended, if going with such units, to overprovision wattage, 1kW for RTX3080 and 1.2kW for RTX3090, or power-limit the GPU, or performing a 'dirty' fix of disconnecting a pin of 12V V-sense wire from PSU-side connector of 24-pin motherboard cable (courtesy of Jonny Guru). Units based on post-2018 revisions of Seasonic Focus platform and majority of units by other OEMs are not affected.

    [1] MWE V2 units have high ripple issues on very low load also resulting in increased coil whine, fix pending.
    [2] High wattage CWT GPX based units have problems with failing burn-in test under sub 90VAC input, treat as 230V only, (Jonny Guru).
    [3] Units experiencing tripping issues with high transient power draw GPUs like AMD Vega and high-end nVidia Ampere.
    [4] Two versions of Segotep GP-G exist, older v1 version is non-LLC resonant and they're very hard to extinguish externally, hence model tiering based on v1.

    LukeSavenije got a reaction from BlaDoS in PSU Tier List Rev. 8.6.0   
    Let's revive this account for a moment again... There's a lot wrong here...
     
    Your voltage regulation numbers aren't deviations from zero, so 3.3v tier E and all of tier F could easily be well out of spec in the right scenarios 
     
    Speaking of... the numbers also seem oddly specific, almost like you're trying to squeeze in or squeeze out certain units
     
    I wouldn't even have specified beyond 18 awg, anything below that is more often than not cheap crap, because they're trying to save a few cents on cables
     
    all the way down, you're somehow still expecting a crap unit to meet ATX spec ripple... and "all situations" would also imply overload beyond 110%, something many units have shown to be unable to handle continued
     
    even most online UPS units won't need 17 MS to react to a power outage... why make holdup time that tight of a requirement?
     
    budget in general is a really weird thing to even consider into the list
     
    Because of all of these requirements and random footnotes that aren't even mentioned in the methodology, as well as having similar, if not the same platform and parts all over the place because of these weird requirements and minor differences in samples... I'm already not a fan
     
    your only activity here is this, with the pfp of Jon Gerow, your team I don't see in here at all
     
    outside of Jon and Aris... you've also talked to me about some units mentioned here, as well as our choice to include ACRF into tier B on Discord
     
    I'm obviously biased towards my own work here... but I can't consider this worthy of much as is... 
     
    ps. I guess my daily SX1000 is low-end now

    LukeSavenije got a reaction from Hermes in [EOL] PSU Tier List rev. 14.8   
    PSU Tier List 4.0 rev. 14.8 (END OF LIFE)
    Last Update: 27-07-2021

    Legend :
    Gray - EoL/obsolete and/or otherwise not recommended for purchase.
    Green - small form-factor (gold and blue colors are disregarded due to scarcity of SFX PSUs)
    Gold - best units in the tier (includes requirements for blue color in tier A)
    Blue - quiet operation under moderate load (see details in the spreadsheet)
    Hyphen / Dash - Series / lineups separator
    Slash - Models (inside one series) separator
    Parenthesis / Round brackets - Model variations (which belong to the same position)
    Square brackets - Additional description (wattage range, part of SKU code, label / casing color, release year)
    Numbers in red colored square brackets - footnotes, see descritptions at the end of respective tiers
    Low priority subtiers - Lack of info (no reviews) or minor issues (see the corresponding tab in the spreadsheet). Not recommended for purchase over any normal priority units.
    Multi-rail units - Not necessarily better than single-rail units but provide an extra layer of protection by having 12V OCP set lower than total capacity, which is especially relevant for very high capacity units (=>1kW). Pay attention to rails configuration when using with high power draw components to avoid shutdowns.

    See spreadsheet for changelog, methodology, detailed description of colors, review sources, notes on grayed-out units including issues like GPU incompatibility or quality and performance issues, and other additional info.

    [1] Units experiencing tripping issues with high transient power draw GPUs like AMD Vega, 6900 XT and nVidia RTX3080 / 3080 Ti / 3090.
    [2] Corsair SF units with LOT codes from 194448* through 201148* have potential problems, Corsair conducts a voluntary replacement, source.
    [3] Units that don't reach full rated capacity under full rated input voltage range.
    [4] Antec EA Pro Gold has versions for Chinese market made by FSP on competely different, worse, group-regulated platform (tier D). Source #1, #2.
    [5] Corsair HX1200 and HX1200i units with LOT codes in range between 2030* and 2041* may exhibit motherboard compatibility issues, entitled for advanced RMA, source.
    [6] Early EVGA G3 revisions had issues with out-of-spec performance under overload.
    [7] Older Seasonic Focus revisions (made before 2018) had transient sensitivity issues. Some new SKUs are not affected because they were released later (Seasonic Focus GM/GX/PX refreshes, Phanteks AMP, NZXT C/E etc.).
    [8] Seasonic PRIME based units experience shutdowns with RTX3080/3090 (and possibly RX6900 XT) GPUs, especially ones with unlocked power limit like FE and ASUS Strix. It is recommended, if going with such units, to overprovision wattage, 1kW for RTX3080 and 1.2kW for RTX3090, or power-limit the GPU, or performing a 'dirty' fix of disconnecting a pin of 12V V-sense wire from PSU-side connector of 24-pin motherboard cable (courtesy of Jonny Guru). Units based on post-2018 revisions of Seasonic Focus platform and majority of units by other OEMs are not affected.

    [1] MWE V2 units have high ripple issues on very low load also resulting in increased coil whine, fix pending.
    [2] High wattage CWT GPX based units have problems with failing burn-in test under sub 90VAC input, treat as 230V only, (Jonny Guru).
    [3] Units experiencing tripping issues with high transient power draw GPUs like AMD Vega and high-end nVidia Ampere.
    [4] Two versions of Segotep GP-G exist, older v1 version is non-LLC resonant and they're very hard to extinguish externally, hence model tiering based on v1.

    LukeSavenije got a reaction from MangoTech in [EOL] PSU Tier List rev. 14.8   
    PSU Tier List 4.0 rev. 14.8 (END OF LIFE)
    Last Update: 27-07-2021

    Legend :
    Gray - EoL/obsolete and/or otherwise not recommended for purchase.
    Green - small form-factor (gold and blue colors are disregarded due to scarcity of SFX PSUs)
    Gold - best units in the tier (includes requirements for blue color in tier A)
    Blue - quiet operation under moderate load (see details in the spreadsheet)
    Hyphen / Dash - Series / lineups separator
    Slash - Models (inside one series) separator
    Parenthesis / Round brackets - Model variations (which belong to the same position)
    Square brackets - Additional description (wattage range, part of SKU code, label / casing color, release year)
    Numbers in red colored square brackets - footnotes, see descritptions at the end of respective tiers
    Low priority subtiers - Lack of info (no reviews) or minor issues (see the corresponding tab in the spreadsheet). Not recommended for purchase over any normal priority units.
    Multi-rail units - Not necessarily better than single-rail units but provide an extra layer of protection by having 12V OCP set lower than total capacity, which is especially relevant for very high capacity units (=>1kW). Pay attention to rails configuration when using with high power draw components to avoid shutdowns.

    See spreadsheet for changelog, methodology, detailed description of colors, review sources, notes on grayed-out units including issues like GPU incompatibility or quality and performance issues, and other additional info.

    [1] Units experiencing tripping issues with high transient power draw GPUs like AMD Vega, 6900 XT and nVidia RTX3080 / 3080 Ti / 3090.
    [2] Corsair SF units with LOT codes from 194448* through 201148* have potential problems, Corsair conducts a voluntary replacement, source.
    [3] Units that don't reach full rated capacity under full rated input voltage range.
    [4] Antec EA Pro Gold has versions for Chinese market made by FSP on competely different, worse, group-regulated platform (tier D). Source #1, #2.
    [5] Corsair HX1200 and HX1200i units with LOT codes in range between 2030* and 2041* may exhibit motherboard compatibility issues, entitled for advanced RMA, source.
    [6] Early EVGA G3 revisions had issues with out-of-spec performance under overload.
    [7] Older Seasonic Focus revisions (made before 2018) had transient sensitivity issues. Some new SKUs are not affected because they were released later (Seasonic Focus GM/GX/PX refreshes, Phanteks AMP, NZXT C/E etc.).
    [8] Seasonic PRIME based units experience shutdowns with RTX3080/3090 (and possibly RX6900 XT) GPUs, especially ones with unlocked power limit like FE and ASUS Strix. It is recommended, if going with such units, to overprovision wattage, 1kW for RTX3080 and 1.2kW for RTX3090, or power-limit the GPU, or performing a 'dirty' fix of disconnecting a pin of 12V V-sense wire from PSU-side connector of 24-pin motherboard cable (courtesy of Jonny Guru). Units based on post-2018 revisions of Seasonic Focus platform and majority of units by other OEMs are not affected.

    [1] MWE V2 units have high ripple issues on very low load also resulting in increased coil whine, fix pending.
    [2] High wattage CWT GPX based units have problems with failing burn-in test under sub 90VAC input, treat as 230V only, (Jonny Guru).
    [3] Units experiencing tripping issues with high transient power draw GPUs like AMD Vega and high-end nVidia Ampere.
    [4] Two versions of Segotep GP-G exist, older v1 version is non-LLC resonant and they're very hard to extinguish externally, hence model tiering based on v1.

    LukeSavenije got a reaction from Mustahsin10 in [EOL] PSU Tier List rev. 14.8   
    PSU Tier List 4.0 rev. 14.8 (END OF LIFE)
    Last Update: 27-07-2021

    Legend :
    Gray - EoL/obsolete and/or otherwise not recommended for purchase.
    Green - small form-factor (gold and blue colors are disregarded due to scarcity of SFX PSUs)
    Gold - best units in the tier (includes requirements for blue color in tier A)
    Blue - quiet operation under moderate load (see details in the spreadsheet)
    Hyphen / Dash - Series / lineups separator
    Slash - Models (inside one series) separator
    Parenthesis / Round brackets - Model variations (which belong to the same position)
    Square brackets - Additional description (wattage range, part of SKU code, label / casing color, release year)
    Numbers in red colored square brackets - footnotes, see descritptions at the end of respective tiers
    Low priority subtiers - Lack of info (no reviews) or minor issues (see the corresponding tab in the spreadsheet). Not recommended for purchase over any normal priority units.
    Multi-rail units - Not necessarily better than single-rail units but provide an extra layer of protection by having 12V OCP set lower than total capacity, which is especially relevant for very high capacity units (=>1kW). Pay attention to rails configuration when using with high power draw components to avoid shutdowns.

    See spreadsheet for changelog, methodology, detailed description of colors, review sources, notes on grayed-out units including issues like GPU incompatibility or quality and performance issues, and other additional info.

    [3] Units that don't reach full rated capacity under full rated input voltage range.
    [4] Antec EA Pro Gold has versions for Chinese market made by FSP on competely different, worse, group-regulated platform (tier D). Source #1, #2.
    [5] Corsair HX1200 and HX1200i units with LOT codes in range between 2030* and 2041* may exhibit motherboard compatibility issues, entitled for advanced RMA, source.
    [6] Early EVGA G3 revisions had issues with out-of-spec performance under overload.
    [7] Older Seasonic Focus revisions (made before 2018) had transient sensitivity issues. Some new SKUs are not affected because they were released later (Seasonic Focus GM/GX/PX refreshes, Phanteks AMP, NZXT C/E etc.).
    [8] Seasonic PRIME based units experience shutdowns with RTX3080/3090 (and possibly RX6900 XT) GPUs, especially ones with unlocked power limit like FE and ASUS Strix. It is recommended, if going with such units, to overprovision wattage, 1kW for RTX3080 and 1.2kW for RTX3090, or power-limit the GPU, or performing a 'dirty' fix of disconnecting a pin of 12V V-sense wire from PSU-side connector of 24-pin motherboard cable (courtesy of Jonny Guru). Units based on post-2018 revisions of Seasonic Focus platform and majority of units by other OEMs are not affected.

    [1] MWE V2 units have high ripple issues on very low load also resulting in increased coil whine, fix pending.
    [2] High wattage CWT GPX based units have problems with failing burn-in test under sub 90VAC input, treat as 230V only, (Jonny Guru).
    [3] Units experiencing tripping issues with high transient power draw GPUs like AMD Vega and high-end nVidia Ampere.
    [4] Two versions of Segotep GP-G exist, older v1 version is non-LLC resonant and they're very hard to extinguish externally, hence model tiering based on v1.

    PSU Tier List 4.0 rev. 14.8 (END OF LIFE)
    Last Update: 27-07-2021

    Legend :
    Gray - EoL/obsolete and/or otherwise not recommended for purchase.
    Green - small form-factor (gold and blue colors are disregarded due to scarcity of SFX PSUs)
    Gold - best units in the tier (includes requirements for blue color in tier A)
    Blue - quiet operation under moderate load (see details in the spreadsheet)
    Hyphen / Dash - Series / lineups separator
    Slash - Models (inside one series) separator
    Parenthesis / Round brackets - Model variations (which belong to the same position)
    Square brackets - Additional description (wattage range, part of SKU code, label / casing color, release year)
    Numbers in red colored square brackets - footnotes, see descritptions at the end of respective tiers
    Low priority subtiers - Lack of info (no reviews) or minor issues (see the corresponding tab in the spreadsheet). Not recommended for purchase over any normal priority units.
    Multi-rail units - Not necessarily better than single-rail units but provide an extra layer of protection by having 12V OCP set lower than total capacity, which is especially relevant for very high capacity units (=>1kW). Pay attention to rails configuration when using with high power draw components to avoid shutdowns.

    See spreadsheet for changelog, methodology, detailed description of colors, review sources, notes on grayed-out units including issues like GPU incompatibility or quality and performance issues, and other additional info.

    [1] Units experiencing tripping issues with high transient power draw GPUs like AMD Vega, 6900 XT and nVidia RTX3080 / 3080 Ti / 3090.
    [2] Corsair SF units with LOT codes from 194448* through 201148* have potential problems, Corsair conducts a voluntary replacement, source.
    [3] Units that don't reach full rated capacity under full rated input voltage range.
    [4] Antec EA Pro Gold has versions for Chinese market made by FSP on competely different, worse, group-regulated platform (tier D). Source #1, #2.
    [5] Corsair HX1200 and HX1200i units with LOT codes in range between 2030* and 2041* may exhibit motherboard compatibility issues, entitled for advanced RMA, source.
    [6] Early EVGA G3 revisions had issues with out-of-spec performance under overload.
    [7] Older Seasonic Focus revisions (made before 2018) had transient sensitivity issues. Some new SKUs are not affected because they were released later (Seasonic Focus GM/GX/PX refreshes, Phanteks AMP, NZXT C/E etc.).
    [8] Seasonic PRIME based units experience shutdowns with RTX3080/3090 (and possibly RX6900 XT) GPUs, especially ones with unlocked power limit like FE and ASUS Strix. It is recommended, if going with such units, to overprovision wattage, 1kW for RTX3080 and 1.2kW for RTX3090, or power-limit the GPU, or performing a 'dirty' fix of disconnecting a pin of 12V V-sense wire from PSU-side connector of 24-pin motherboard cable (courtesy of Jonny Guru). Units based on post-2018 revisions of Seasonic Focus platform and majority of units by other OEMs are not affected.

    [1] MWE V2 units have high ripple issues on very low load also resulting in increased coil whine, fix pending.
    [2] High wattage CWT GPX based units have problems with failing burn-in test under sub 90VAC input, treat as 230V only, (Jonny Guru).
    [3] Units experiencing tripping issues with high transient power draw GPUs like AMD Vega and high-end nVidia Ampere.
    [4] Two versions of Segotep GP-G exist, older v1 version is non-LLC resonant and they're very hard to extinguish externally, hence model tiering based on v1.
