Shouldn't Riotoro G2 position be temporary as with all other Seasonic Focus GX based units as there were no overload ripple testing yet ?

no

 

it's fx based, but with a 109% opp

I would prefer it to be tier b with midrange setups because of the low opp which may not be ideal with high end gpu spikes , specially with 550w and 650w variants

tier B+ with a note maybe ?

so i should tier down focus px, part of whisper, part of formula and such all down just because the opp is set low?
 

except if there come reports to me of shutting down early, i don't see why i should move it right now

Is there old and new version of the Seasonic PX? I saw one with the 10 years warranty on top of the box and one that doesn't have it. The one I received doesn't have it. Is it old? Is it new? Or is it just the box?

I still haven't opened it yet. How many years are the gap between the two? Do they have big difference?

 

I got the old version.

I got the old version.

the difference is 2 years on debute, the new came out in 2019, the other in 2017

 

what system are you powering with it? it's mostly due to a situation occurring at 120% overload, not at normal ones

I was choosing between the Corsair CX650 and the Gigabyte G750H but decided to spend a little bit more for the Seaaonic  650PX since it's Tier A, was that a mistake?

it's fine... you won't even come close to the problematic point of 120% wattage, your system just pulls too little

Oh I see. So the "problem" only shows/happens if My PC components eats a lot of wattage? If so what kind of system specs do you think is required for the problem to show?

I got the 650PX for $110. Do you think my decision to pick it instead if the CX650($82) and G750H(82) is good?

zardon reports otherwise on the 2019 version

and i named those others as examples because they have shown some shutdown issues

[FirstBuild]

Hello, i don't know witch psu to get, as it's my first build ever.. And i want it to be perfect. Thing is i would like it to be power efficiency as much posible.. As the pc runs 10-15hrs daily, and efficiency would help.

 

Was thinking: Be Quiet Straight Power 11, 550W or 650W

 

PC spec below.

CPU - Ryzen 3600x or 3800X

GPU - Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 XT

Mobo - X470 or X570

RAM - 2 Sticks (32gb) Corsair Vengeance LPX

Storage - 2tb Samsung 970 EVO Plus

Fans - 6 (low speed, low noise)

 

Thanks for help.

PSUs' wattage rating is their output rating, not input rating (so efficiency adds up to the output side to give you the input value) right?

yes the rated psu wattage is the Power Out , the efficiency is how much is it from the power in AC side

Brand to add to the Tier E ; CoolMax

 

Was in a pinch once and bought a 450w from this brand at my local CanadaComputers, the unit came DOA, when I went back to CC, they couldn't do anything since the SN on the box VS on the product didn't matched !!! (so even if it worked, there's something sketchy going on!)

 

I went back home and opened it, the circuit board had traces de-laminating in multiple places ... worst quality ever! Now when I'm in a pinch, I get a used unit from one of the local recycler (they have reputable brands, just either old or used) and then wait for something decent in the mail.

I have noticed something interesting said by one Silverstone representatives here 

https://youtu.be/niQWX1nQtW0?t=73

 

he says that anything above 500w is exempt from the tariffs !!! and thats why they are releasing 500w+ psu's in the us market  , which does not explain why the prices  of PSU's in the us market has increased significantly after the "Trump Tariffs" although they are 500w + variants

What about the Cooler Master Reactor Gold 750w 80+ Gold, MPY-5501-AFAAG-RE? 
I found them new on ebay for 90€ in Germany.

It's fully modular, 120mm fan. When I do a google search the MWE Gold full modular comes up.
