Is this power supply a good pick up ?

[Lowspecgamer]

I needed to replace my Evga 430 watt PSU and was wondering if this was a good replacement.

Why do you need to replace your EVGA 430 W?

What is your specs?

Is this the real LSG? 

 

Regardless, that is a fine though cheap PSU. From EVGA, you would be better off with the GQ series over the BQ, but both are very fine.

Wattage is not the problem, just your PSU is not great.

Something like this, would easily be good enough - https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Qb8j4D/

Well, I was looking for something with more wattage for upgrades in the future not quite just something for my current build.

Could get a 550 watt PSU and have room for any upgrade you want.

HAhahahahaha. hahahahahahahaha. this is why jonnyguru decided to leave the forums earlier 

 

evga 430w is a piece of shit group regulation , high ripple , most protections missing PSU. voltage regulation will be atrocious on modern systems which place all the load on the 12v rail. 

 

CX>GQ in quality so no idea why  you would get the gq with current prices , BQ missing OTP , its double forward with dcdc passive rectification which is pretty bad by modern standards. 

No need to antagonize or demean.

 

First off, what he had was the 430, nobody recommended that unit.

 

Second off, You essentially said what I said but compared the GQ further to another unit.

 

As for the BQ, it is B tier on the 'official' PSU forums, which tends to be quite accurate. This places it as a fine though budget offer. Also, JohnnyGuru is still here unless he left very recently.

More than enough wattage , but problem is that higher quality formula gold 550 is on newegg for $70...

Yes , but you said it was fine when it was anything but...

 

You said the GQ was "fine" , i said the GQ was not worth buying at all...

 

750w+ is b tier , 650w and below is c tier. and the tiers are far too wide , as well as GQ/G1+/pure power 10/11 being worse than corsair CX while being a tier above... current psu tier list has a TON of issues that cannot be resolved , simply because creation of new tiers take a ton of work and expertise , that not a lot of us have...

 

Edit: i'm sorry for my aggressive tone , i guess i lost some braincells at toms hardware forums... but really I should have been nicer , I'll edit this and my  previous comments

I'm not going to claim the 430w is an amazing piece of hardware, but I've been running one in my secondary computer, there's one in one of the CAD workstations at my office, my friend's had one in a 6700k build, and my brother has one in an FX-8350 system, all for several years now, and they all work without issue. The CAD workstation at times does 20+ hour 3D renderings and not once have I had an issue. The jonnyguru.com review was an 8.5/10, so... Very often I see people responding about tiers of power supplies in this aggressive 'if it isn't an A tier it's garbage' attitude. It'd be great if everyone could throw down $250 on some platinum or titanium rated unit, but that's just not realistic. The truth is that products like the 430w EVGA exist to fill a price point, but you will not get any power supply below $50 that's going to wow a harsh critic. There are also truly garbage power supplies in the sub-$50 range, but the one in question isn't one of them. With many thousands of hours of sometimes very hard use under the belts of several of them, I've not seen anything to complain about in terms of durability. No dead hardware, no instability.

 

That all said I run a 750w G3 in my main system at home, but I paid the extra money for the quieter fan, long warranty, and modular cabling. I'm sure a 600w cheap EVGA would work fine.

The EVGA 430w is a rather terrible unit. Definitely a good idea to replace it.

The EVGA BQ is a no on my list for the simple fact is lacks over temperature protection.

Here's a list of PSUs that I would personally get:
Corsair RMx
Corsair TXM
Corsair CX (2017)
Bitfenix Formula Gold
Bitfenix Whisper M

Formula gold is about 70$ and the best bang for your buck when it comes to quality and performance, but it's non-modular.
