Power Supply Efficiency

[Madladd]

Does power supply efficiency matter?

[Fasauceome]

Quality matters more.

 

Usually there's a correlation between efficiency and quality, but it's not a rule. There are some garbage 80+ platinum units out there.

 

Plus, differences in efficiency are usually quite small, for your average gaming rig the difference in cost on your electric bill is so small you wouldn't notice.

Is the cooler master masterwatt lite 700W a good choice?

The masterwatt lite is a cheapo unit, not recommended. Plus, I doubt you need 700 watts, what are you powering?

 

Consider a Corsair CX550 or CX550M, maybe a 450 watt.

That's a pretty bad unit too.

Why are you looking at cheap, high wattage units?

What’s the worst thing that can happen if I get a bad psu?

It will catch fire/explode, killing other components of your computer.

[Madladd]

Well cooler master is a trusted company and if it explodes they'll have to cover the damage.

Yeah, the damage to PSU. They will just say it is a coincidence other parts failed.

My system specs are:

i7 9700KF

Asus RTX 2060 super strix

Asus Rog strix z390 f gaming 

hyper x predator 8gb 3200mhz

Yesterday in a different thread it was a 9700KF + RTX2060S, and you were saying you only had $3 left in your budget and couldn't afford a better PSU. Not sure where the extra $2,500 for your budget has come from overnight, but if you can stretch the budget by $2,500 you can certainly afford a better PSU.

He downloaded the budget.

Basically I pulled up to my dads house and begged for some money and he gave me more than I need and now I wasted it on parts instead of the psu.

Mow a lawn, save $20 more, buy a CX instead of a VS, probem solved.

There are no circumstances where you can make this happen, I swear.

 

Suggestion: send back the titan RTX, get the 2080 ti. Then you'll have insane performance and enough money for a beastly power supply.

[Madladd]

Will it be okay if I use it for like a week or two and then buy another one. I’m not gonna do any crazy overclocking

All right, troll topic is troll.

/thread.

[OrionFOTL]

I mean, just buy the cheapest trash power supply at this point and let it damage your parts, since you already made up your mind. Why keep posting in this topic? You're just wasting everyone's time this way.
