Hello Everyone! What is your opinion about the new Be Quiet! Pure Power 12 M 850W PSU?

https://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/bequiet_pure_power_12_m_850w_atx30_psu_review,8.html

 

The new 13 is more interesting to me.

Not cheap, but not insanely over-priced for a TIT rated high end.

That's the Dark Power 13. That's two product tiers above the Pure Power (with the Straight Power in between). Not sure why you'd even bring it up

because i listed a review for what i thought he was looking at.

It indicated that it was OK....

I mentioned the better level for what i saw as a good price to performance delta.

thought it was pretty clear.

Any Dark Power 13 1000w owners out there with no fan problems? I wanted to order this power supply, but after everything I read, I had doubts.

Also on the cultists site I read the following about the Dark Power 13 1000w: "Non-functioning multi-rail OCP essentially making it a single-rail PSU". Does this mean the "Overclocking key" switch is not working?

As an alternative, I'm looking at the Cooler Master MWE Gold 1250 V2 ATX 3.0. There are almost no reviews about it. Is it worth buying?

[B1ueTera]

Is the Seasonic Vertex GX series good. Or is it a avoid or is it just okay. Could not really find anything about it.

In Tier A, low priority units, Aerocool Project 7 is not a PSU, it's a computer case.

Yep, you can definitely fit a motherboard inside that

Oh, when I made a research on Google, I get results that say Aerocool Project 7 as a computer case without PSU (in France).

I did see quite a bit of the same brand "Enermax" but i couldnt find where the enermax revolution87+ 1000w psu stacks up. is it under the revolution category all together?

[Schrotty]

Is the Montech Titan Gold 850w good? I am considering switching from the Corsair HX1200 to the new Montech.

I think they have moved their "base of operations" to https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

And there it seems Montech Titan is a-tier.

I have seen, but they don't have a Community.

It's a decade old unit. It's not on the Tierlist anymore.

Are you that confused by the difference between ATX 3.0 and 12VHPWR?

Hey guys, hope everyone is doing well!

 

I just wanna bring attention to Seasonic and the current state of their PRIME line - spoiler alert, a ton of lemons.

 

I just spent 3 days talking to their support, who are literally tried to gaslight me into thinking that everything is fine.

 

3 major issues with SSR-750GD2:

 

- fan ticking noise, all the units in the PRIME have the same shitty fan 135mm, there are only a handful on replacement fans and it voids warratny

- coil while, Seasonic cheaped out on the filtering caps, this thing screams to the high heaves and it's not just one tone, its a symphony that can be hear in the next room

- trash tier cables, I disassembled my PC to do spring cleaning, after just a single reconnection the cables lost clamping force and voltage cropped  (11.4v 4.5v on rails, yes shit is crashing!)

 

Also the accessories - trash! Every single ziptie cracked and disintegrated in my pc case, causing a mess.

 

Now the fun part, their support literally mocking me and telling me that they wont give me a different unit (I asked for same capacity, not even an upgrade).  I was denied and told to just use this one.

 

I'm an IT manager myself, running a helpdesk dept - this was by far the worst RMA experience in the last 10 years, from any brand.

 

 

SSR-750GD2 - this is NOT a A tier unit, this a C grade at best.

Interesting to see the (for me) Ye Olde Faithful Aerocool Integrator relegated so low on the list. I can only speak for myself here of course, others may have bad experiences.

 

I have built a good many pcs using this as my base, typically 500w or 600w depending on the build. Mostly mid range Ryzens with mid range or older higher end graphics. A typical build from memory was  Ryzen 7 2700X, 16Gb DDR4, 500gb M.2, RX6700 (non XT). Think that one had an aerocool Integrator 600.

 

I would say I have had maybe 10 or more Integrators over the years, no reported failures to date. When I sell a PC I put a life time `bring it back if it breaks and I will fix it` provision on them. I dont sell PCs to make money, I just cover my costs and maybe £25 bonus for building. No I build because i really enjoy building pcs. I purchased Integrators due to (for me) no frills reliability and to keep the costs down.

 

In my house there are 5 gaming pcs built by me, I think three of those have either Integrators or the very similar Toro PSUs.

 

This reply is not intended the flame the list writer - my hat off to you sir for the work put in to create this list and to place your head above the parapet in doing so. Keep up the good work! Im just sharing my experiences with a PSU thats fairly low on your list.

There are reasons it's that low listed. First the topology of the unit. Group regulated can be Tier D at best. Terrible voltage regulation, bad protection features and some other reasons makes it lower listed than D.

The authors started their own website. https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/ for the most recent list.
