Sale ends in 1 hour, but I was looking for a good PSU with 2x 6+2pin PCIE connectors, and stumbled across this: https://www.newegg.com/evga-500-gd-100-gd-0500-v1-500w/p/N82E16817438158.

EVGA 500 GD, tier A in the new PSU tier list.

Ends in an hour, $39.99 after MIR. $37.99 after promo code: EMCUTTD34.

 

This is a decent deal, right?

I guess, but whoever put that in Tier A was smoking something.  You will never see a legit "Tier A" PSU for $37 EVER.

It probably ended before you clicked the link.

It's $69.99 now. And you can check it out for yourself in the list. It's listed as B+ in the advanced list though.

It doesn't have a $37 MSRP.

 

Of course, could you describe the reason it shouldn't be tier A? While price and quality sometimes correlate, there's not really anything stopping a $37 power supply from being great 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

While rare, it does happen. So I wouldn't go as far to use the word EVER.

I remember the day this happened because it was to be a Christmas present for a family member. Had it in the cart and was going to buy it and completely forgot about it. By the time I remembered, it shot back to above $80.00.

Exactamundo. Been using a Korean aftermarket 80+ 600W PSU for 3 years in December. Zero issues with it. It's exceeded expectations so much, it's tough to make a swap. It's like trying to get home on E and successfully arriving home. You just want to keep going. Get this feeling every year that goes by.

well, doesn't exactly mean it's tier A material. Our tier list has very explicit criteria for the tiers and while some PSUs are very durable, they may not be Tier A material.

 

As for the GD, it meets all the criteria so it's tier A, price be damned.

Never said mine was tier A. Just saying it's been great.

this is the 2019 GD, not the 2017, that's based off the GQ, which is based off the pure power 11, which is based off the pure power 10

it's not that bad

 

based off some internal shots it looks like a modified FSP hydro GE, which would be an estimate around tier b, not a

 

this is again, updated with the new version
