Ah I'm sorry. I thought those only applied to their old fanless 600W and 400W models.

Old Fanless is X Fanless. But yeah, we technically have only Prime Fanless TX there for now, i'll add Prime Fanless PX in the next revision.

Aris did. It's essentially the same thing internally as Bitfenix Whisper M, Enermax Revolution DF and Deepcool Gamer Storm DQ-M.

there' s something strange going on 12v rail load regulation at 50-100w interval (from 0,5 deviation goes to 1,5 and then drops to 0,5 again). Other than that seems perfect (maybe a little loud over 75% of the load).

It also has 10 year warranty but will xpg be around after 10 years?

Some low-end Andyson platform, at least looks DC-DC but i can't really recommend it when you can have Corsair CX450 for 5$ more.

Picking a PSU for another computer.

Just curious, how do i distinguish between Antec High Curent Gamer? Which ones are 2020+ and which ones are pre 2020?

No way except asking a retailer what's the manufacturing date. But if you don't plan to use AMD Vega with it it's irrelevant really.

But in any other aspect it's basically Seasonic, but cheaper?

Yep, it's Seasonic Focus Gold / GX, if we're talking about Antec HCG Gold (there were older HCGs and also very similarly looking Bronze one on some Andyson platform).

This has probs been asked and answered before, but I couldn't find anything on my quick browse of this topic. If I get a Tier A Cooler Master V 750W unit (i.e ideally <=650W) that is 750W, is it still adequate/safe to use for an upper mid-range system? Or would I be better off getting a Tier A+/Tier S?

I'd say sub 1000W it's relatively safe, and it's not like it would explode otherwise, just in case of a short you'll have bigger boom, there's an opinion that if anything shorts then that something is toasted anyway so multi-rail OCP wouldn't help here either but IMO if you're buying 1000W+ PSU it's just a common sense to get multi-rail.

I've just bought a new rog strix 650w psu and I got the GPU shut down issue with my 970 strix

Is that means I've bought the <2020 ver. of this psu?

Is there are any solution other than refund or change to other GPU?
will msi 2060s gaming x meet the same issues too? cuz I've the plan to buy it

 

thank you

interesting that you found a strix... I would've thought it was mostly too new to be V1

 

2060s wouldn't have these issues, but I'd attempt to RMA it to Asus here

Seasonic Focus FX/FM had compatibility issues with GTX970 Strix, screen flickering, black screen IIRC, not shutdown. How it happens ? It shuts down completely and you need to cycle the PSU to start the PC again or it just restarts ?

black screen and all software stop working when full-loading the gpu, for two times (playing apex legends)

but i don't know whether pc restarts by itself or I have to press the power button to restart it

cuz after black screen, I pressed the power button to restart it immediately for both two times

Then that's not an issue Seasonic Focus FX/FM is known for as in that case it should've been latched. Have you connected the GPU with two cables or just one ?
