It's not that dangerous, you wouldn't probably even notice any problems associated with it but it's not a good PSU for this build, mainly because it's a very cheap group regulated platform, it's RGB fan is probably close to half of the cost of entire PSU.

It's decent, you're asking in the tier list thread, just look it up, it's in tier B.

Hi

Antec zen

Gigabyte g750h.

according to their site spec don't have OTP.

Seasonic s12iii don't have OCP.

 

Their tier don't match the criteria that in the sheet.

Thank you for the time and effort.

@LukeSavenije @Juular

The TT Grand RGB Gold Sync Ed have OTP, I actually Have it, so...

I don't know why in the spreadsheet is written that PSU doesn't have or "lack" of OTP

 

https://www.kitguru.net/components/power-supplies/aris-bitziopoulos/thermaltake-toughpower-grand-rgb-gold-sync-edition-750w-psu-review/

KitGuru Confirms that PSU Have OTP (maybe a bit high in the temperature tolerance), but Exist.

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/thermaltake-toughpower-grand-rgb-850w-gold-psu,5822.html#xenforo-comments-3402926

in Tom's Hardware says "Don´t Have OTP" and honestly, I have never considered that page to be very reliable.

for Example, that TT OEM is from "High Energy", not from "Sirfa".

I'll contact them about that.

It has OCP on minor rails, that's enough. A requirement for OCP on all rails in the methodology was a mistake, fixed.

Reivews for TPU and THW are written by the same man, Aris Mpitzopoulos.

It's the same thing, High Power is retail brand of Sirtec and Sirfa is IIRC the name of their factory.

So in one review he confirmed OTP while in another he didn't, which indicates that either it's set higher than 200°C at which point it isn't very useful anyway even if present or there are some problems with it at least on some batches, but since we don't have any more information about it sadly, we would rather treat it as it doesn't have OTP.

DQ-M is based off CWT GPU
DQ-M-V2L is based off CWT GPX

So DQ-M-V2L will be tier A or not ?

 

Cause thier internals look quite different to me

Tier C low priority because it fails Jon's burn-in testing.

Hey @LukeSavenije and @Juular:  I saw something in the spreadsheet that literally made my LOL.

 

Where in the world did you get "Churchill !", "Churchill II", "Churchill III", "Churchill IV" for all of the AXi platforms?!!?

Is it just a design revised under the same name for each model, then?

it's more of an educated guess, but if you have the correct names for these me or Juular wil fix it

It's not.  That's why I laughed.

At Corsair, every project gets a project name before it gets a retail name.  Churchill was AX1600i's project name.  That's not the name of the platform.

 

Depending on the PM, different project names follow different themes.  Me and another guy did guitarists (TX-M is Knopfler, for example).   The last guy did mountains (CV was Mauna Loa, for example).  Some of the other teams use names of cheeses, beers, monsters, etc.

I would assume there's no specific AX1600i (and other AXi) platform name, then? Given it's entirely custom?

well, since a lot of them are Corsair specific platforms, it would likely make most sense to use these (unless you have platform names, which of course works too)

 

as far as you can give them, can you send them?

Everything before the AX1600i pre-dates me, but I did some digging...

 

AX1600i was Churchill.

AX1500i was Nam Co (Tibetan lake)

AX1200i was Challiho (type of wind)

AX860i was Luoma (another lake)

 

AX760i and AX1200 predate 99% of the people at Corsair. 

 

This year is kind of weird.  PM is using Overwatch characters as project names.
