What is this ATX12VO (12 volt only) standard does it affect desktop pc's ??

 

Saw the new seasonic power supply on linus's YouTube.

the new seasonic connect wasn't a "true" 12vo yet. and for the coming future, there would need to be some good changes in motherboards first before we would see 12vo used in the consumer market

I see Chieftec Chieftronic Powerplay 550w have good efficiency and low ripple lower then Bitfenix cost is the same 90€ as Chieftec is full modular. If that review is legit I can't find any better review. Seems it's made by CWT

there are a couple more in our source sheet, but indeed it's some kind of a CWT GPU variation, by the looks of it.

It seems that this specific platform are called GPR but it's indeed looks to be very close to GPU which Bitfenix Whisper are based on too.

@LukaTCE It's a good unit so basically you choose between 2 years longer warranty with Bitfenix Formula or full modularity with Chieftec Powerplay.

Yes, those are GPR.

CWT has too many platforms at this point... i can't keep track of them all

Interesting. The PSUs recommended in many budget ($500 and below) build guides (even those from LTT themselves) are almost always a tier or two below if we base off this list.

That's why this list is much more reliable than anything in the internet imho.

That's one of the reasons why Youtube build guides are rarely acceptable: They skimp on the PSU far more than would be expected and/or comfortable.

500\600W Segotep GP-G\GP-P use same platform as in Enermax Platimax D.F. <=750W with somewhat downgraded caps (Taiwanese\Japanese on main depending on version, but Taiwanese on secondary in both versions). Info on the fans are limited, both have models with same model numbers but different rotor and the bearing used is unclear, the only info i found are from Aliexpress listing where they claim hydraulic bearing. So overall it should be decent choice, lower-end Tier A (because of mixed caps and unclear bearing), better than tier B+.

 

(reviews are useless other than for internal shots)

If you're buying PSU for change then yep, they'll do.

"<3% 12v voltage regulation" ? It definitely should be <1% for tier S and A for 12V. By the way when you plan to better separate or sort the most recommended units in different tiers from those that are little known and barely meet the requirements of a given tier? It really looks so bad when in one tier we have for example Seasonic Prime, Asus Thor or Corsair AX side by side with brands like Segotep,Vinga,Zebtronics etc. that most people hear about for the first time xD.

Did you see any reviews even ? There's very few PSUs that qualify for <1% load reg under all conditions on 12V rail, and even Seasonic isn't one of them okay, PRIME are one of them. Not that it matters that much, it would probably worth to limit it to smth like 2% but 3% already looks good enough IMO. Ripple are much more important at this point.

This is exactly what this tier list are trying to address, recommending people units that are good but cheap and might not be known as well as big brands. Speaking of Vinga, they're SAMA OEM, same-ish platform as in SPC Supremo PSUs which are good enough. And Segotep <700W are same platform as in Enermax Platimax D.F 700W. Zebronics will be removed shortly, we indeed don't have confirmation on the platform (we assumed it's SAMA too but it's unclear).

 

And speaking of means to separate them, if you can suggest anything that would be good, otherwise i don't see anything really we can do other than voltage regulation and ripple limits and no sleeve bearing in tier A, probably also no Chinese caps but we haven't decided on this yet as it's not clear.

both are good PSUs, it's just likely that the platinum king is old stock

 

with that said... revolution df starts at 650w... why aren't you looking at 450-550w?

you never need it, it's just a comfort thing. but in this case the worst that can happen is that you have to manage away 2-3 cables when it's non-modular
