Thank you guys. So is it correct to say the "Seasonic SSR-650FM" is the older version? Pre January 2018, that can show issues with 2080 Ti GPUs.

 

Something confussing is New Egg. They show the GM and SSR as the same PSU:

 

 

Newegg probably is re-using the listing for the FX (FM) series and didn't change the model number. As you can see in the picture and the info in the listing, it's the GM which is the newer version.

hello! thanks for your list

I wanna buy the incoming 3080, do you guys think I need to change my Bitfenix formula gold 550w?

I never did OC and I have a ryzen 3600

Depends on how much wattage the 3080 uses, which we don't know yet. If it's similar to the 2080/2080S power consumption, you should be fine.

First off, don't quote the whole list. It wastes so much space for no reason. Second off, they recently did an overhaul on how the list is structured and removed all the PCPP links. You'll just have to look them up manually.

Sharkoon | Silentstorm Cool Zero

 

I am a bit set on this one, but there are 0 reviews on it, and it's sort of an unknown brand. Should I go for it, based on its "A" tier, or wait for something better?

 

For reference, it costs 30% less than a feature similar, RM 850W Gold Corsair PSU, which is probably the only other PSU brand that I can opt for.

couple things for context

 

Sharkoon = Alternate (German retailer), you can check this for yourself if you want, the adress of Sharkoon and an Alternate outlet is the same

 

there are now reviews in the sheet... somehow these weren't there yet. the unit is made by highpower, specifically on the  #810 platform. this is also used on Toughpower Grand RGB Gold Sync, In Win Premium Basic and Powerspec PSX-GFM

Thanks a lot

Are multi rails PSU really cheaper than single rail? Or it is only in my country (Indonesia).

 

For example, a deepcool dq650m or enermax ERF650AWT is around the same price, $95. But Corsair RM550x is $15-20 more expensive, so does Seasonic GX series and other tier A list gold PSU.

it's by coincidence, because, even if with a small difference multirail units are actually more expensive to produce

So it is a safe choice right? Between those two,which one better? Or should i stick with seasonic GM-550 or Corsair RM550x?

 

My build plan:

 

ryzen 5 3600
b550 a-pro

rtx 2070 gaming z (used)

team dark za 16gb 3600mhz

sx8200 pro 512gb

seagate barracuda 1tb

Is this new? or OEM design? What's up with the 12 pin adapter that comes with this? @LukeSavenije

Yo guys, I bought my riotoro enigma g2 about a week ago and I wanted to ask something. So apparently y'all are saying any unit from 2018 is safe? I thought the general consensus was that v1 and v2 of FX units were both unsafe w/ high transient gpus, no? Anyway my unit is from april of 2018(judging by the serial code which most likely indicates the date, other pictures of the code shows the date for other ppl too as ive researched so im pretty sure im correct in my assumption), that means its good, right?

tldr:

fx v1: shuts down on high transients (vega, 2080 ti, 1080 ti and 970 have been reported)

fx v2: doesn't have these issues anymore, but is still sold under the old name

gx v3: sold under a different name and doesn't have the issues anymore

 

since seasonic now only reportedly makes the gx, your chances on getting v2 or v1 is getting more and more slim. but even if you end up with v1, it's no issue if you don't have a gpu like the one mentioned above

Or one can even optimize the gpu via undervolting, which is recommended anyway, in order to reduce noise and heat levels , as well as keeping power consumption in check

Hello everyone, I need help choosing a PSU for my build.

I created a separate thread but it got lost apparently as I got no answers (https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1239276-need-help-choosing-a-psu-budget-rig-ru/?tab=comments#) 

Sorry if that's against any rules, I can remove the link if needed and just post the question here.

@Vishera We don't have any reviews or even just internal shots of 80+ Bronze rated NOX Urano VX but from what i see it's still the same group regulated platform as in Green Power certified version. But you can help yourself by providing some shots through the exhaust and fan grilles (preferably with diffused or multi-source lighting so there would be less shadows).

I just found this in jonnyGURU's forums:

It matches what i see from the grill of the power supply and above the fan.

 

[Wlayey]

Quick question: why is the Straight Power 11 Gold is colored in the list as a better PSU, than the Platinum one?

Shrek powered group regulated platform lol. Well, we could split off 80+ Bronze version of it to tier D but i really don't see how that would help anyone.

My unit is from April 2018(as seen in the serial code on the psu, after doing some research and checking other pictures of the psu im 100% sure this means the date, also has the big bulky things in the cable which supports the fact that its a focus +)
Which makes it FX V2, yes?
