What tier are those PSUs should belong to?

Hello! I'm in need of a white PSU and the RM850x white has been OOS.

 

I saw the below from Amazon and I was wondering if this is a safe PSU.  I will pair it with a 5950x and RTX 3080.  I will only overclock the GPU.  I will be only using PBO with the CPU.  Thanks!

That's like fourth time this was asked here in the past few pages ... Tier B low priority due to lack of any reviews.

ASUS ROG Strix 850W White Edition

You can take this, very good unit based on Seasonic Focus platform with bigger heatsinks inside and improved noise levels by Asus. OPP set to ~130% (960W) so there will be no problem with peaks of 3080 and 5950X.

Talks about OPP, links a review without any protection tests in Polish ... Are you Lucasz Sierant ?

And by the way, there are an opinion that these issues with transient-heavy GPUs and some PSUs aren't in fact OCP (OPP is too slow for that regardless), but are in fact related to low filtering capacitors capacity which leads to them getting empty with particularly strong transients and which trips UVP ...

Thank you sir! Unfortunately, they are charging me $45 for shipping and it will total around $215 (doesn't look like they are charging me tax - NJ).

The Asus ROG-STRIX-850G-WHITE right now is actually "on sale"(sarcasm) at $189 - and with taxes, I will total at around $202.

I guess the price difference is negligible so I could go either way .. but with your expert opinion, would you still pick the RM850x White over the Asus ROG-STRIX-850G-WHITE?

Based on price i would go for Strix, based on quality both are very good in terms of used electronics, both are silent, from what i know white RMx is still based on V1 version of RM platform released in 2015, Strix was released in mid 2019 so there will be no problems with Seasonic platform made prior 2018 which was causing problems with some cards if you happen to buy an early model produced. New revisions should be now based on seasonic newest GX platform.

There's in NO WAY they still have that in stock.  Is it used?  Maybe the store didn't update their photo gallery.  Can you get the Corsair "CP" part number from them?  I can't find that ANYWHERE on that product listing.

 

Isn't it the part that says: "P/N : CP-9020055"

 

Also another question for everyone in this thread including you, if i can get some help . is THIS sentey the one in Tier B???

Super Flower Golden Green / King (still not sure what are differences between them) platform, cheap capacitors and no OTP but it was a solid LLC + DC-DC platform at the time (in 2013). It also easily clears 80+ Silver so i have no idea why Sentey opted to rate it 80+ standard. Although, it's old, 2013 as i said, maybe like 2015 at most, and i don't really trust Sentey to not change internals without changing model code, also there are no reviews for 550W model, maybe it's completely different, so i can't recommend it.

Hello. I am from Argentina (relevant because stock and availability).

Does the Cooler Master 750 MWE V2 Bronze still come with the coil whine issue? That is the best PSU that I could buy with my budget.
The other 2 are Thermaltake Smart BX1 650W 80+ Bronze, or  Gamemax VP 700/800 80+ bronze (not listed here, but in a local tier list they say that this PSU's capacitor is a high quality one, better tan cooler master's one).

And I don't understand why there are 2 MWE V2 (one in rank c, the other one in rank B).
Is this one:

My build will be an AMD Ryzen 7 3700x + 3060ti (or 3070, i'll buy the vga for christmas) . Thank you all.

Because it's NOT the same PSU.

With 495W on the +12V, I don't think this is a PSU with DC to DC.

There's SDP and SDP-SS, former is newer apparently and indeed group regulated. SDP-SS is older and looks to be based on the same SF platform on entire range.

One is 230V, the other is full-range, it's all in there ...

I don't understand the differences, and I don't know which one is. The model is MPE-7501-ACAAB, and is the one that I linked.

 

Thanks for your reply. If you can help me to make a choice, It will be great.

Ok, so full-range is 100V-240V, like the one you linked (at least going by both the pics and model number).

Thankyou! Here we call them "multi voltage", so I didn't realize what do you mean previously. Thank you so much.

 

But well, I have to decide between one of those 3 that I said, because here you can't buy much better products (at least a little better option will be 3x more expensive)

No.  That's something different still.

 

"Multi-voltage" is when you have those cheap PSUs without PFC that have a little red switch to select between multiple voltages (115 or 230V).

 

"Full range" means the PSU can do 100V (or sometimes lower) up to 240V and everything in between.  Thus "full" range of voltages.

oh, I understand. What can you say about my 3 options?

[DarkLord69]

Anyone know where Silverstone ST65F-GS ranks in the list?

 

https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=813&area=en

 

It is the V1.1 version. How is it different with ST65F-G?

No information, a new platform, no reviews. Apparently still LLC + DC-DC so tier B low priority.

Should be fine if it's cheap enough.
