PSU clarification needed

[redzmegz]

I know that buying a psu from a well known brand like corsair, bequiet, or even cooler master is always better, but I saw an nfortec 750w psu gold certified and FULLY modular for 90 euros (and rgb). If it's gold certified, it should be okay, right?

Thanks!

Good quality power supplies are already on the 90 euro margin.

 

Then you have one unit that has led rgb controller and a bunch extra stuff that costs the same...

 

How does they make it cheap enough to remain competitive? By cheapening elsewhere on security features.

the certification is just for efficiency, pretty much any psu can be 80+ certified even if its an utter garbage otherwise.

A bit of google hunting later, the brand is just rebadged Highpower/sirtec oem units, they're OK and get decent reviews. Nothing special, nothing bad. Still shop around but if the psu has the features you want then it's a safe buy.

I mean this psu looks good, it has all the features I need (fully modular, 80+ gold) and it's a bit affordable. in the 750w range, I can't seem to find a better deal. Thanks for the research though, I appreciate it. Cheers!

Shouldn't you want proper voltage regulation, low ripple and working protections first and foremost?

What do modular cables and Gold efficiency give you, if your parts are being damaged by improper voltage?
