When you say free, do you mean free as in freedom (libre) or just price? Because we already have a free as in freedom software called Phoronix Test Suite (PTS) that does everything you said in your video. Hopefully MarkBench is ACTUALLY free or else there won’t be a reason to use it.

Well, neither of those coolers are available in the wattage I need(which is 550-650), so I’ve settled for an earthwatts gold pro 650w.

Ah, no worries I’ve still got plenty of options

All right thanks so much. I think I’m going to buy that one.

Is this the one that you meant then? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084TSDNKT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_m8DgFbFMRPZFF

Thanks I could only find a 550w for these ones that you listed do you think that that’s enough for my system? Also how does the antec earthwatt gold pro compare to these?

I’m willing to spend $80-$100 on the psu Thanks for your suggestions! My budget for it is around $80-$100 and I think I might buy that earthwatt one.

But I would prefer a higher quality bronze then a cheap gold still

But isn’t this 80+ bronze? Also I’m probably gonna upgrade it in the future so I want it to last.

So is it safe and reliable then if so, which model should I use? I was going for $1000 build but I think it’s gonna turn out to be a little over $1100

So I was trying to find parts for a pc I was getting, but I got stuck on the PSU part. I was originally getting the Thermaltake Toughpower GX2, but I saw on the LTT PSU tier list that it’s “Recommended for low-end systems and dGPU”. Now I don’t know what dGPU means but I consider my build fairly mid-range, so is this gonna fry my pc? Or is it fine if I used this. I also found many other lists with different tiers for the same unit. The LTT tier list also marks the GX1 as gold which is apparently one of the best units in the tier, while the GX2 is marked as grey which has various issues. How could they be so different? Do you recommend those two units?
