Posted February 21, 2019 So I own an rx 570 Sapphire Pulse mini ITX GPU and the box says that the minimum PSU wattage is 500 watts. I was thinking of getting the evga 500b. My question is if this is too close to the edge and if the 600b is better? Thinking of getting the Ryzen 3 2200g but I'm waiting for the 3000-series. My budget is about $70. Thanks in advance!

Posted February 21, 2019 500 is more than enough. a 400 watt unit would even do tho i wouldn't get evga b in general... where are you located (country)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 21, 2019 Neither, get a Tier 3 or higher: Corsair CX550M is a good budget unit.

Which is about $55 more than it should cost. The S12 II/M12 II is a decade old, and not good at all. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 21, 2019 Pure Power 10 400W or Formula 450W. https://m.prisjakt.nu/product/4122959 https://m.prisjakt.nu/product/4553919 The B1 is a really low end, group regulated PSU, and makes no sense to buy. You can get much better PSUs for a lower price. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 21, 2019 The CX550 (no M at the end) is even better and should cost less. How much is that in your country? If you're not interested in a modular PSU (which the CX550M is), I'm not sure why everyone is trying to get you to spend extra money on a feature you're supposedly not interested in.

The CX550 is only $2 cheaper so I'd go for the cxm if I were to choose between the two. A modular PSU is of coarse nice to have. I think I'll be building in the q300l and it's pretty open so maybe paying extra for the cxm is worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, definitely avoid non-modular for that small of a case CPU: Core i9 12900K || CPU COOLER : Corsair H100i Pro XT || MOBO : ASUS Prime Z690 PLUS D4 || GPU: PowerColor RX 6800XT Red Dragon || RAM: 4x8GB Corsair Vengeance (3200) || SSDs: Samsung 970 Evo 250GB (Boot), Crucial P2 1TB, Crucial MX500 1TB (x2), Samsung 850 EVO 1TB || PSU: Corsair RM850 || CASE: Fractal Design Meshify C Mini || MONITOR: Acer Predator X34A (1440p 100hz), HP 27yh (1080p 60hz) || KEYBOARD: GameSir GK300 || MOUSE: Logitech G502 Hero || AUDIO: Bose QC35 II || CASE FANS : 2x Corsair ML140, 1x BeQuiet SilentWings 3 120 || LAPTOP: Dell XPS 15 7590 TABLET: iPad Pro PHONE: Galaxy S9 She/they Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 22, 2019 18 hours ago, OrbitalBuzzsaw said: The CX-M would be infinitely preferable to both of those units Oh yeah, because its not modular, I forgot that it makes a PSU 10 times better when you can remove some cables you need anyway... That you only save 1 cable as you need: ATX CPU PCIe (1 Cable, 2 connections for lower wattage) 1 Drive, Formula has 2. And the CXM is Double Forward, while the Formula is LLC-Resonant mode with DC-DC... So could you pls stop this?? Especially in the lower price range you often times want the best electronics and don't have the money for modularity (in this case Bitfenix Whisper M).

Posted February 22, 2019 40 minutes ago, OrbitalBuzzsaw said: Yeah, definitely avoid non-modular for that small of a case No, as there was an awesome invention called ZIP TIE. And you totally forgot the lenth of the Connectors and all the space it takes. If I had the RVZ-01-E, I'd absolutely use the Formula! Whisper M wouldn't fit. And even the Silverstone Strider Platinum would also not be the best idea because of the lenth of the connectors...

CX-M is an older double forward front head with hard switching that can cause the transformer to make noise during high slew loads created by high end graphics cards. Since you're only using an RX 570, you probably won't notice the difference. But isn't there some piece of mind in knowing that if you upgrade in the future, you won't be back here in the forums wondering why your PSU is making buzzing noises?

Some people are more comfortable working with modular, some don't mind non-mod. Some cases work much better with modular, some work better with non modular. It's something OP can easily decide, not what we should be trying to force him into. Do some research. Find others that have used the case with a modular and with a non-modular PSU. See how they went with cable management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 23, 2019 4 hours ago, Rexper said: I'm pretty sure they specified infinitely better Of course, anyone would pick a Seasonic M12II, or this thing - https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16817152028, instead of anything without a modular interface. It's just fucking science right there. Even better @jonnyGURU, you should get corsair to sell a PSU, that negates everything, but the modular cable interface board. It'll sell like hot cakes. That's all the important shit right there. /s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is definiately a lot more for me to learn as I barely understood what you ment. But I did. 7 hours ago, Rexper said: Find others that have used the case with a modular and with a non-modular PSU.
