    This is wrong. Cost of electricity is like 12 cents USD in most US states, though there are a few states with really high electric costs. Using 150w as the power used (using my 2080 as an example), it costs about 50 cents a day. I earn 5 dollars a day on average (after fees) mining ETH using the 2miners pool. My 2080 still has 2 years of warranty, and I only need to mine on it for about 4 and a half months to make back what I paid for it ($620 used). Unless ETH crashs in 4 months (highly doubt it), mining it would be very profitable, and there is low/no chance of really screwing up your GPU since you usually set a power limit that keeps it lower than 70c with fans running at 50%, with only a memory overclock. Also "lower resale value" is not applicable when you have already mined on it long enough to pay back the card price. Any resale value at that point would be pure profit.

    Whisper M unless you want a 10 year warranty, then the Corsair RM
  3. MrBrightSyde
    What are the prices for each? Same price I would do Whisper M for quality, but the Corsair and Seasonic have 10 year warranties, so I would do Corsair RM (quieter) then Seasonic Focus GX. If they are different prices, let me know.

    It's already in Tier B low priority (ctrl+f "V2 Gold")
  5. MrBrightSyde
    Well, one is an SFX PSU and the other is an ATX PSU, so it depends. Is your build SFX or ATX? If you have a normal build, the C750. If it's ITX/SFF, get the V750.
  6. MrBrightSyde
    I have a GF1 myself and it has been very quiet, so I can recommend it noise-wise. Either one would work in terms of quality, but if you don't care about the ARGB, I would get which ever is cheaper
  7. MrBrightSyde
    The Thermaltake GF1, though it's very overpriced. Cheapest out of the three, and it's better than the Seasonic, though the PF1 is actually cheaper there than it is in the US.

    The single fan mostly from what I recall. The VRMs are okay, but it gets pretty hot compared to other cards. Just because it's tier E does not mean it's "bad", but it's one of the worst cards cooling wise. Of course, most ITX cards aren't good at cooling compared to others, and you really shouldn't "compare" it to the more normal sized GPUs. it even says in the Tier E: (hot running cards, can be solved with aftermarket cooler)

    No, they're correct? 750w and lesser (<=) are Tier A, 850w and higher (=>) are Tier B. Don't remember exactly why, I just know that they use different platforms, like Rosewill did with the ARC
  11. MrBrightSyde
    It's all good. So you are talking about how the => should be >= instead? Since <= is correct for all the model that have it.
  12. MrBrightSyde
    ..wait, are you talking about my reply to Mark Kaine about the Platimax D.F =>750W being next to the Revolution D.F and how => means "equal to or greater than"? (part in bold being the relevant piece). Mostly since I can't think of any other reason to why you would comment this.
  13. MrBrightSyde
    Here's a more budget option: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3F2rxr/corsair-cx-2017-650w-80-bronze-certified-atx-power-supply-cp-9020122-na The Seasonic Focus Gold 750w for $104 is not a bad deal though.

    This part means literally nothing. 50C is scalding to the human body, so using touch to determine heat is literally worthless when it comes to PC parts since most parts run at higher temps. Same with the PSU. It's rated to run at 40C (for full wattage). 40C is pretty hot to the human body. You most likely aren't pushing the unit to the point it needs to actually spin up the fan. It'll start using the fan to actively cool the PSU when the PSU needs it to. As you can see in this 2600 review (with a 1080Ti in the test setup), Cinebench doesn't really push the system wattage that much (only around 150w). Even in gaming it only pushes less than 400w altogether (1080Ti and 5700xt actually have similar power draw). Basically, your PSU is fine.

    I'd stick with the TXM, but that Core GM isn't so bad itself at that price. Personally would stick with the TXM since I like Corsairs customer service/RMA and never truly dealt with Seasonic service/RMAs.
  18. MrBrightSyde
    Anecdotal. I have really good 3000mhz CL15 LPX's. I actually got them to be stable at 3400mhz with timings of 16-20-20-38 (16-18-18-36 was unstable). With RAM, any of them could be good or bad, it's really a luck of the draw. 1. They aren't from the US so availability could be an issue. They even say "...most of the PSU units from the PSU tier list is not available over here" 2. it's most likely out of their budget and way overpriced for what it is. 3. It's more likely for them to be able to get a Seasonic Focus since that is what the Core Reactor is, just rebranded and maybe a different fan profile.
  19. MrBrightSyde
    The Corsair RMx and Thermaltake GF1 are slightly better in build quality, and have a more silent fan curve than the Seasonic Focus GX but any of them are a good pick. The Enermax only has a 5 year warranty compared to the 10 years the others have, but it's also a great PSU, and honestly I'm surprised how low the price is compared to the price hike with tariffs on the other PSUs. Customer service wise, Corsair wins, with Seasonic being second.

    That's....overpriced AF here's a few alternatives since it seems you are going to pay a lot for a lower quality GA: Here's a good deal: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/CQNgXL/enermax-revolution-df-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-erf850ewt For a similar price but way higher quality than the GA: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/seasonic-focus-gx-850-850w-80-gold-psu-full-modular-fan-control-in-fanless-silent-cooling-mode-10-yr-warranty-black/6414265.p?skuId=6414265 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/P7pmP6/thermaltake-toughpower-gf1-pe-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ps-tpd-0850fnfagu-1 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/VgQG3C/corsair-rmx-2018-850w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020180-na

    It *should* be fine but without a professional review, we don't know it's actual faults. Take the Gigabyte P-GM as an example. Didn't have a professional review for a long time, people bought it since it was a cheapish fully modular 80 Plus Gold PSU. Had a high DOA and high return rate. Turns out the caps exploded after loading it to a certain point (don't remember how much it took). In my opinion, I wouldn't buy it since it doesn't have any reviews, but that's just me. I can help pick a PSU if you need help. What's the price you are paying for it anyway?
  22. MrBrightSyde
    So no, it's Tier D
  23. MrBrightSyde
    Check the spreadsheet P550B is double-forward group-reg, like all the other PSUs in Tier D basically The 650 is better since it's using DC-DC
  24. MrBrightSyde
    All are Tier D, so....neither?
  25. MrBrightSyde
    Different manufacturers with different platforms. Supernova G3 is made by Super Flower, it's basically a modified Leadex II. GA is made by Andyson. From what I've gathered, the G3 has better build quality than the GA, but it has loose OPP and OCP protection. If you aren't overloading the PSU, it's nothing to worry about for most consumers. No professional reviews on the GA currently, so there isn't much to go on.
