PSU Tier List [OLD]

In regards to the S12II-B model showing better crossload than the NEX-G, it's not an apple to apple comparison if you are comparing a 520w [LINK] to a 750w [LINK].

 

As we all know, group-regulated PSUs are inheritedly bad in regards to voltage regulation and crossload scenarios, because the load of one rail can influence the voltages of another. If you put zero loads (or no extra loads) on the minor rails, the voltages on the 12V tend to drop harder as you increase load to it, which also cause the voltages of the minor rails to increase (usually the 5V). This is true the other way around. Since the 12V rating is higher on the NEX-G while having similar minor rail rating (1A difference), it's understandable that the voltage drop on the 12V is greater as you are seeing the limitation of the design.

 

Anyways, the NEX-G and S12II-B / M12II-B 380-620 are a bit poor when talking about v.reg / crossloads when comparing to a DC-DC / Indy regulated PSU in the grand scheme of things, so even if the GB platform is better overall, I wouldn't say it's a drastic difference.

 

NEX-G vs HCG-620M (Seasonic GB / S/M12II-B) vs Cooler Master G550M vs Corsair CX650M

You know what yeah, if we call the S12II good and T3, even though it crossloads like that (5% deviation at an extreme), then the NEX will have to go T3 too.

 

Is there any difference between HCG and S12II though?

@STRMfrmXMN Seasonic's Focus Plus gold

https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Cases-and-Cooling/Seasonic-FOCUS-PLUS-Gold-FX-650W-PSU-Review/Final-Thoughts-and-Conclusions

looks like a tier 1.

Holy fuckamoly. Seasonic making punches in the market!

It's simple here - you bump it to T3, I stop telling people not to get it. That work?

Well, I still think telling people not to get it is a good idea due to its pricepoint, but yeah.

Been giving a couple people the M12II 750W though.

 

Wait that one's DC-DC right?

The M12ii EVO is, not the non-EVO though IIRC.

Isn't the non-EVO the really old 80 PLUS standard rated one?

I don't know, I thought it was just a modular S12ii. Too many things to remember.

If that's hard to remember, don't forget to take a gander at EVGA's lineup of units and who all makes which units

This has probably been answered at some point before but i don't fancy reading through a tonne of pages to find the answer.

 

I know the tier 3 with the ***'s means they could be a higher tier if it wasn't for the fan (or at least, that's what i've been thinking it meant) but which tier would they be in if it wasn't for the fan, I'm guessing tier 2?

meanwhile with their FSP Dagger thread, they call our forum bad, then one of their members comes and harasses you and the thread. fucking hypocrites.

Usually yeah

Eh, it's the internet, people get overly pissed off over meaningless things all the time.

still, it's only a list, it's fine if he dislikes it but to go as far as threatening to ban a brand new user just for linking a list when he's already made one before?

That is true and I'd expect him to act a little more like an adult considering he's 40+ (I have no idea how old he is tbh) but ya know, I can't change people.

 

I added a thing to the end of the list btw

A semi modular version.

You only have to remember one thing: 430/520/620 are group regulated, whereas 750W and 850W are DC-DC

We've officially been called retards or something like that by JonnyGuru. Kinda feels good in a weird kind of way.

 

I liked your thing that you added

judging from this stream he's probably in his 40s,  yet's he's acting alot younger in that thread.

You're saying that like age necessarily brings maturity

yeah i know that's not true at all, probably just bad wording

I find this most amusing, considering the LTT PSU tier list is based partially on Jonny's reviews... lol. I bet he probably didn't even look at the list.

I wanna say around tier 3. Just due to it being very comparable to the Valens.
