Hi all!
I couldn't decide if I should open a new thread for this, please tell if I should. Thanks mod!
So I have been using my XFX PRO 650W XXX Edition for 8 years now, and just after upgrading my GPU to Sapphire Nitro+ 5700XT (Previously GTX970) I noticed it's making a buzzing noise like coil whine under load. So, I know it's already risky to keep the same PSU on my 3rd system, but after I heard the noise I decided to change it before it blows up or something?
I made some research and thanks to you people I found some alternatives in my country to choose from. My system is like below;
Ryzen 1600 @ 3700Mhz - Stock Cooler
MSI Mortar B450 Mortar Max
2x8GB 2400Mhz Ballistix Ram (Soon to be 2x16 3200Mhz Ballistix)
Sapphire RX 5700 XT Nitro+
1xSSD & 1xHDD (Caviar Blue)
Fractal Design Define Mini C
2x140mm BeQuiet! Silent Wings 3 High RPM
1x120mm Fractal Design exhaust fan
So, the PSU alternatives that I found are as below. (Where I live, there are not so many options on the 500-600W range with reputable brands, sadly.)
Be Quiet PURE POWER 11 BN297 500W ==> 92 USD
Cougar GX-S CGR-GS-650 650W ==> 100 USD
Corsair SF450 80+ Platinum 450W ==> 110 USD
Be Quiet PURE POWER BN299 700W ==> 121 USD
Be Quiet Straight Power 11 BN281 550W ==> 125 USD
Corsair TX750M CP-9020131-EU 750W ==> 130 USD
NZXT E500 NP-1PM-E500A-EU 500W ==> 137 USD
FSP Hydro G HG750 750W ==> 143 USD
Cooler Master MWE Gold 750 MPY-7501-ACAAG-EU 750W ==> 145 USD
Corsair (2018) RM750X CP-9020179-EU 750W ==> 165 USD
So what would you suggest for me to pick up on this list.
Initially I was set on Straight Power 11 550W but then suprised with SF450 Platinum's price, but can't be sure if I want to go with 450W.
Thanks in advance, cheers!
