It's not the age that degrades them, it's the changes in electrical performance standards over the years. Thus the M12 and S12 are not tier 1.

|PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.

I know. But it should still perhaps be worthy to note which ones are older models and as such, they may not be available anymore or hard to find.

I don't think things should be dropped down just because they are old. Every unit should be compared as if you are an alien species who does not understand the concept of time.

I thought about making an archive, to keep the Tier List concise and have a "your PSU not showing up? look it up in the archive <spoiler with all the PSUs that can't be bought anymore>". Because that'll make it less unwieldy. That said you can always Ctrl + F the model if you know its name.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

 

Computer having a hard time powering on? Troubleshoot it with this guide. (Currently looking for suggestions to update it into the context of <current year> and make it its own thread)

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

not all prices are correct in pcpp, and not all countries are on pcpp, amazon is better in most case (except us and canada and uk prices are more accurate)

 

tweakers.net is extremely useful site for Netherlands, it's like a pcpp for them

I think that was a limited edition version of the RMx, but it will be the same (i think). @jonnyGURU

So I'd save money if I painted a black version myself and bought custom cables? 

Personal build >  New-ish AMD main gaming setup           

   PLEASE QUOTE OR @ ME FOR A RESPONSE xD

It's the exact same as the black RMx except it's white and comes with the individually sleeved cables (also white).

 

The fan is the same as the black RMx.  The Limited Edition had an LED fan.

@Energycore Just a small update on the what's available in which country list: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IZ4SVCzC9a2WKdmyIoyRAgOhoxAradqEZ5TA0CzYVAM/edit?usp=sharing

Only got the US done so far. Anything highlighted yellow was something I couldn't find on PCPartpicker for US. Might've missed/misread a few, just as a cautionary.

I've just been using PCPartpicker. If you want, I can give you an edit link so you don't have to make an entire different doc.
