PSU Tier List [OLD]

Go to solution Solved by Spotty,

This is a legacy list. It is no longer being updated.

 

The new PSU Tier List can be found here:

No, G-Series is DC-DC LLC-Resonant thingy with two rails.

Has nothing to do with S12II/M12II 620W and below, totally new design.

 

The only thing that thing has is that it's darn loud...


PS: I am down to just two G-Series based units from three ^^

I think you had the same misunderstanding I did. Rereading his comment I think he thought that it was easy to mistake any S12 as a group-regulated unit because I mentioned in the asterisks column that any group-regulated unit would be placed no higher than T4, "including Seasonic's S12" which was a bit vague. The S12G is technically an "S12" unit so it could be perceived incorrectly.

The G-series is a pretty damn good unit for being group-regulated. Is it seriously group-regulated? Man, I feel like I'm falling behind... really wish the forum software allowed for multiple editors.

 

EDIT: I'm 99% certain the G-series is not a group-regulated PSU. It performs far too good to be one. Or am I misunderstanding your comment? Are you saying that, because I used "S12" too broadly someone might mistake the S12G as a group-regulated unit?

It's DC-DC. I'm saying people will confuse it.

Utilizing a modern design where an LLC converter in the primary side boosts the unit's efficiency, this PSU is based on the same platform as the G series. The secondary side uses DC-DC converters with a semi-synchronous design for the rectification of the minor rails.

It's a different platform, but people probably will get confused. Should be changed.

Which is better an RM650x or an EVGA G2 750? I have both and will be putting one of them into my NAS and leaving the other in my desktop (note: either one is more than powerful enough for my desktop needs now and in the future). And I care more about my NAS than I do about my computer.

The RMx might be marginally better. I'm still uncertain if the EVGA G2 suffers the issue the Leadex Gold had where it had issues with brownouts, so why not be safe and go with the RMx.

It's on a UPS anyway, so brownouts shouldn't be a problem.

Then they're within a margin of error of eachother. Put whichever one in the system you like. If you're one of the lucky ones with a 10-year warranty on their G2 then put that in there.

The 750w has always had a 10 year warranty? It's the 550/650 that have a 7 year warranty.

I think some people have had 7-year warranties on theirs. EVGA has changed their warranty period for that PSU more than once. I'm fairly certain the permanent 10-year warranty is fairly recent, but don't quote me on that.

Well, mine is almost 3.5 years old and it has a 10 year warranty (just checked the manual).

RMx is generally quieter, other than that they are pretty much identical.

@STRMfrmXMNAccording to Orions site, the TT SMART Units that are PUQ-Bs are the 750p and 750/850m, others are different, you may want to note that on the list.

Kinda did with "higher wattage" and "lower wattage" but I'll point that out.

Any reasons? Seems fine for a basic budget build and the black cables are a nice touch.

The cost gives it away. Plus AFAIK, EVGA hasn't given out review samples, which means they don't want it reviewed.

 

EVGA is digging themself a huge hole. 400W, followed by the non certified Line, followed by the B3, BV and BT. They really need to step their game up, they have hit rock bottom. They were at Corsair level (even though they were given more praise than corsair, 'because EVGA'), however, now they are Thermaltake (prior to recently) level. They sell everything from below integrator grade, to high end.

I planned to go with a Cooler Master V650 but when took a look at the V-Series on Cooler Master's website I noticed differences in the presentation between the V550/650/750 on a side and the V850/1000/1200 on the other side. Also there is a substantial gap concerning the price between the V750 and the V850 (at least here in France) : about 45 USD (while it is more 10 USD between the V550, V650 and V750).

 

Before making a purchase I want to know if there really are some differences between these PSUs (although they belong to the same serie) or if I'm just going psycho because of a different layout on CM's website...

Yes, there are.

The V-Series from 550-750W is one Plattform. From 850W to 1200W another one.

All are manufactured by Enhance. But the newer V-850 hasn't been reviewed.

Hopefully the EVGA G+ that has been seen on Ecovas site is good... Come on EVGA...

Thank you Stefan !

Glad to see that my pressentiment was right. I do not need a lot of power (I plan a light OC for my 6600K and a 1070ti) so I'de probably go with the already known 550-750 platform...

V550 will do for you. If at the same price or lower, some other good units would be EVGA G2/G3, Corsair RMx, SeaSonic FOCUS Plus Gold and Bitfenix Whisper M.
