Can someone confirm to me that I need a PSU with Double 4+4/8-pins connector for overclocking the i9-9900K?

 

Also, will a be quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 850W suffice for overclocking this system?

Yes, you will need a PSU with 2x 8-pin EPS connectors (power for CPU). And yes, that PSU would be fine for that system. Just make sure it has 2x 8-pin EPS connectors. It's a bit excessive in terms of wattage, but there aren't many PSUs of lower wattage and good quality with dual CPU power connectors. 

 

Personally, I'm going with a Corsair RM850x for a dual-CPU, dual-GPU system I'm currently building. I don't need the wattage, but I do need the connectors. ;)

So, I have been thinking about PPT tinkering with my Vega 56 (decided not to go with Crossfire due to cost and lackluster optimization by lazy developers) and I kind of want to use this as an excuse to upgrade my PSU. 
 

So far the only option I have found is Whisper M 650W, as it has 4 PCIe connections and uses multirail design. I can get it for ~€88.
Question is, how hot/loud would it get during use, considering that Vega can draw quite a bit of power? 

And of course, Straight Power 11 750W is another option, but it's noticeably more expensive and frankly, with PSU of that size I might as well go with Crossfire after all

Ex-EX build: Liquidfy C+... R.I.P.

Ex-build:

Meshify C – sold

Ryzen 5 1600x @4.0 GHz/1.4V – sold

Gigabyte X370 Aorus Gaming K7 – sold

Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8 GB @3200 Mhz – sold

Alpenfoehn Brocken 3 Black Edition – it's somewhere

Sapphire Vega 56 Pulse – ded

Intel SSD 660p 1TB – sold

be Quiet! Straight Power 11 750w – sold

Is a bit louder under low load, though still in the OK area.

About the same as full load, quieter under lower load.

That's better than I expected. Problem is, it will take 2 weeks to get it from the only store that has one.. It would be faster to ship one from UK/ Germany, but downtown due to warranty might be bit extreme. 

What about RM650i? I read some reviews, but it just left me more confused – it seems like it has switchable multi-rail design? Like you can turn them off and on? I mean, why would you want to turn it off, you just lose the OCP, right?

The default is multi rail, so if the users don't download the software, they're fine.

What was the verdict for the EVGA B3 to eventually land it in Tier 4? I don't want to go through 100+ pages (page 135 or so, onward, when the initial bait and switch controversy happened).

Mayonnaise is an instrument!

Well, when the bait and switch happened it was in Tier 5, and then we eventually just threw it in Tier 4 because new ones were fine.

Hi, I've just bought a new RM750X and noticed that when I turn my PC off it produces an annoying buzzing noise which is not that loud but in a silent small room like mine can be heard distinctively even a couple of meters away from my computer.

The moment I flip the PSU switch off, the buzzing ceases to exist, but it's very annoying having to do that every single time.

Also the very wierd thing is that the buzzing also disappears when I turn my PC on.

I really hope I'm not going to be once again disappointed by Corsair and their presumably "high end" products... back in 2010 I bought a HX 650 which was also considered "professional" and in not even two years of mild usage it began coil whining. 

My previous Seasonic never had any issues like this... is this normal or should I ask for RMA?

I asked on Corsair presumably "official support" forum but I've been greatly ignored so far... so I've endend up opening a ticket on the support page for just to be sure about what to do. I'm done with paying premium price for (probably) defective products.

Coil whine is normal on all PSU, no matter the brand. Sounds like it's on the 5Vsb rail.

I don't think it can be classified as "coil whine", it's a clear buzzing noise.

 

As a matter of fact, I've opened a ticket on Corsair Support and first thing they say it's "let's get this fixed under warranty".

 

Now, I don't know what they mean with "fixing" but I'm not going to accept any replacement, let alone repairing the one I currently own.

 

What I'm sure of is they're not going to take any chances of being responsible for heavier risks that could involve other part of my system.

 

Maybe it's just me being extremely unlucky with Corsair PSU (3 out of 3 I owned had issues) but I frankly expected more from their "tier 1" psus....

 

Their official support forum has many other threads of people reporting the same issues with similar psus.

 

 

I think I'm going to ask for a full refund and go for Seasonic or EVGA.

Not even my CX850M does that when idle. It only buzzes while under a gaming load, and newer units (White label CX series from 2018 as opposed to Green label from 2015) have the problem fixed...via a shitload of glue/resin over components that could have been the offenders.

Sad thing is that mine is a 2018 unit.. I could maybe understand if the buzzing noise was under load, but while the PC is off.... I won't bother taking this risk honestly

Can you people help me pick a PSU from these websites? Honestly almost none of the PSUs that listed here are not sold in my country, Turkey. I currently ran i5 8400 and gtx 1080 on a corsair vs600 and I just want safe and reliable power before something goes wrong. But also cant seem to find any respecteable psu. only psus that I can find from this list are 750+ watt ones and honestly i dont think my system needs that much power

 

i have spare money lying around have about 400-500 TL budget right now. I would appreciate suggestions according to these

Yes... The MasterWatt and MasterWatt Lite are completely different units.
What do you mean by fake though? Did you think that it was a MasterWatt (non Lite)? The pics clearly show it's a Masterwatt Lite...

Looked at the links you provided. I can't see anything there worth buying within your 400TL budget. Even a budget PSU like the Corsair VS550 (grey label) starts at 480TL. If you're powering a GTX 1080 system, you're going to want to spend a bit more on your PSU. I looked up what the prices are in USD, and that 480TL VS550 is $90 USD... You're massively getting ripped off on PSU prices where you live... Sorry...

Tier 4 PSU would be fine in my opinion for that system. Grab a 450W unit, Tier 4 or higher. Something like the Corsair VS450 would be fine and looking at the price it seems rather reasonable. https://www.ect.my/Corsair-VS-Series-VS450-450W-UK-Version-PSU-80-PLUS-UK?search=VS450

No, please don't use that PSU. You don't need 600W (even though that PSU is only 24A on 12V so really it's more like a 300W PSU). Looks like it's at least a 10 year old design. It's priced at RM79 which is $19 USD... It's junk.

lol. noted.

I have one question about the label on psu rated 400w without 80+. 12v1 with 15A, 12v2 with 16A. Is the true power 372w?
I forgot where I see it. Can I believe the label?
 

thanks.

No, the true power is 400W.

There's also an additional limit of 180W on one 12V rail, 192W on another 12V rail, an unknown combined limit of both 12V rails, and unknown limits of 5V, 3.3V, and combined 5V&3.3V limit.

 

That's assuming the manufacturer doesn't lie about the capabilities of the unit.

By fake, I meant the title and page itself. Product title does not contain any info about it being "the lite" version. 

 

Yeah, i figured that much. :( I dont know why our retailers try to rip off us by these limited choice of PSUs. Many people here sadly builds their PCs with those PSUs. How bad they are? Can they really fuck up the system itself? 

 

I'm also on the "grey" VS600. is it okay to use it until its warranty ends? or if something goes wrong can it kill my components?

 

One more question will be, is it okay to undervolt my gpu to prevent any psu related issues? when i let gpu fun its full performance, it runs at 1062 mv and peaks at 180-190 watt consumption. at the peak consumtpion, 12v rail degrades from 12.288 to 12.000. then i undervolt it to 900 mv, now its peak consumption is 110-120 watt and 12v rail does not fall below 12.096. is this a safe way to use this system? at least until for a psu change? right know, i dont need the extra performance 1080 gives to me (i5 8400 bottlenecks it, and i also play at 1080p so i m okay to lose out some performance. i undervolt it to 900 mv 1898 mhz). honestly my original system was i5 8400 and gtx 1050ti but then a friend of mine sold his 1080 to me for a really bargaining price. but i didnt mind its huge power consumption at that time. :) but psu was always a question mark for me even in the original system.

 

@OrionFOTL Thank you my friend, I think will force my budget and go with that one. :)

Sadly they can and that would be bad for a 1080 which is a great and expensive card. Try to go with the CX650  you ve been advised.

I'd say, yes. I know few ppl with Vega56 who purposefully undervolt-underclock their GPU-s. Would not hurt.

Life is really challenging. I don't always suceed: )
