Burn in hell because its 10 years old.

It was OKish when it came out, but PSU ain't no wine, it don't get better, it gets worse, things change.

 

Replace it ASAP, before you replace a GPU or other stuff...

Even if it seems to work.

While picking through PSU's on PCPartPicker for a friend's build, I came across this InWin unit that isn't in the tier list.  Where should it be?  It's 80+ Gold, Semi-Modular, but I'm not super crazy about the 4 x +12V rails.  The price seems quite decent ($60) if the internals check-out:

Ripple and hold up time isn't good (70mV on 12V and 11,6ms), but the rest looks fine. The 4x 12V rails are sensibly configured, so it just means more protection, and it shouldn't cause any issues.

Find something else. You can get better stuff for $60.

"Platinum" is a series of PSU by Seasonic. Not to be confused with other PSUs which have an 80+ Platinum efficiency rating.

The main thing is the lack of squealing chokes and good performance.

You don't need a 750W supply, a good 400W is EASILY enough. 

 

Also, why do the Corsair PSUs only have a 3 year warranty?

 

Can you provide a link to the store you're buying off?

400W won't be enough for 9900k and 1080 Ti :V 

@baxenko Where are you located? Would be easier to recommend you something if you know what is available. Out of those 3 units you mentioned, I would probably go with RMi, as it is the more recent than HX if I remember right

I live in Ukraine, we have a warranty on Corsair products for 3 years:

Why not this?

Regardless, you should still get 7-10 years of manufacturer warranty (Corsair website says 10 years, but it can be wrong)

I watched this model, I was disappointed by the lack of semi-passive cooling. Warranty: 5 years


It's always better to have a fan spin at low RPM rather than a fan that does not spin when PSU gets too hot

Ummm, yeah it will.

 

Here's a full system power draw, for an extreme edition and a 1080ti. 400W AC, so like 350W or so DC.

I guess it depends on what you do with 9900K. Oc it to 5GHz on all cores with avx loads and you'll almost break 250W with just the cpu. Custom 1080ti can draw over 300W when oc'd with peaks over 350W.

Impossible to answer without knowing their prices, your budget, and other power supplies available in your stores.

Cheapest good one in all these shops is https://smartbd.com/corsair-tx550m-550-watt-80-plusr-gold-certified-psu

Unfortunately most of the other ones are out of stock, and all the cheaper ones are group regulated.

But ppl are saying to avoid Thermaltake I dunno why that one has Japanese cap, rgb, 80+ bronze and 5 years of warranty.

None of these things is most important in a PSU. That's like saying GTX1030 is a fast card because it has 2GB VRAM, two fans, 5 year warranty... without looking at FPS and performance at all.
