I plan on using it for using on an i3 8350k (stock) and msi armor oc rx 480 4gb

How about neither since both are garbage?

 

i3 8350K? what? why? this processor makes no sense, specially if you'll run it stock, if you want Intel over AMD at least buy the i5 9400F

Where im from 8100 and 8350k are priced the same

 

Well good psu s are more expensive than gpus here 

So im asking which of these two garbage is less garbage

The SkyDigital is some local brand that rebrands a model from some Chinese OEM ... I have no idea of the quality of the internals. If you give me a review or some article with screenshots of the insides of that power supply, i can give an opinion about the quality.

Without any information, I'd be reluctant to recommend it.

 

The Zalman is at least from a "brand name", but again it's outsourced design to some Chinese factory,  Hui Cheng  Electronic Technology ... it's relatively new OEM.

 

It's acceptable if you're not gonna use it at full power.. and you won't... you're not gonna use more than 400w... and at least you can get a review here: https://www.hardwareinsights.com/zalman-zm600-lx-power-supply-review/

 

So out of those two, the Zalman would be my choice.

 

If you have some other options in the 500w...600w , mention them here, maybe they'd be better than these.

You're in Korea, right?

 

They're both REALLY OLD.

 

Why are you looking at really old PSUs?  You're looking at buying them used or something

I would say the opposite. 

 

PowerStation has more power on the +12V and at least the PowerStation has full AC input capability.  The Zalman is a 230V only input.  Not even Corsair VS level quality.  Pretty sad.

 

Both suck, though.

Yeah, assuming the numbers aren't inflated or specified at 30c ambient temperature.

 

Anyway, made a more thorough search and found these... seems to be a CWT design... maybe @jonnyGURU or others in the industry can guess the platform and figure how old of a design it is

Seems decent to me ... probably better than the Zalman but I can't be sure.

The page may not load... probably bad/low bandwidth outside Korea

Yep.  CWT DSAIII.  Not bad, but ancient it terms of computer hardware.

 

Same as old Corsair CX430, CX500 and CX600 before they upgraded it to a platform with DC to DC:  http://orionpsudb.com/corsair

It's CWT DSA II actually, not DSA III. Not that it changes the conclusion. Better get something better and more modern.
