Just to let you know these don't link to the Revolution X't series.  

hmm... odd error from my side

 

the original x't ended on x30

 

but i'm on it

What is the power supply overheating temp?

i think you mean overheating protection set point ?

it differs from one PSU to another according to the quality of the components inside , and up to the manufacturer to determine 

Quote

Over Temperature Protection (OTP): Since the ATX spec recommends at least 50 °C operating temperature for continuous full power delivery, a PSU has to have an appropriate OTP triggering point, if it is equipped with OTP of course. In PSUs with only a 40 °C rating, OTP’s triggering point inevitably will be lower.

Cooler Master V Semi-Modular 

That implies that semi-modular and fully modular versions are different ? I don't see fully-modular in the list, no reviews on it ?

indeed they are

 

the modular version of it would be v-series 2013

i found an evga gold 1000 GQ at a good price, but how good is it  and why is it in tier b+?

it's based off the same platform be quiet used for the pure power 11. it's as good as it's tiered, so if you can get a higher quality, but lower wattage psu for the same price, I'd get that

that is supposed to be a rebranded seasonic focus plus 850 , what is interesting is the unit cuts off power at 107% overload , which if its an accurate measurement by the reviewer mean that it has its OPP set at 107% nominal , a pretty aggressive OPP and much lower than what was set for the seasonic @137% nominal, if this measurement was accurate i think they are trying to avoid out of spec ripples

the weird thing is that aris measures much higher on the same wattage unit...

no thats a different unit baset on a cwt platform , the one i linked is the g2 version

oh wait... my bad, actually

 

that was the only one i could find... i'll discuss it internally a bit, i might just move it up since it doesn't reach the problematic point

 

for now... not much else i can say

Beware that high opp setting is actually required for psu’s to be able to handle high transient spike loads of high end gpu’s , there is a reason why most psu’s have opp set at 125 or higher

So what is the difference between a high end gaming system and a midrange one? im building a pc with a i7 9700k, an rtx 2070 super, ram at 3000mhz and nothing overclocked, is this a midrange system or not and what would be the problem in using something in b or b+ tier for a high end system?

tier b+? generally not

 

tier b are mostly double forward topology, and are likely to whine on that level of GPUs due to an overloaded transformer. it's nothing dangerous, but can be really annoying

No problems really it's just that when you're spending 1k$ on other components, spending extra 30$ for high-end PSU with better protections set, quieter operation and better performance overall sounds like a good idea.

The only psu from tier A that i can find with stock in my country is the corsair tx850m gold, but it only has 1 4+4 cpu cable and my motherboard is a z390 aorus with a 8+4 cpu power connector, can i just use the 8 pin and leave the 4 empty?

you could

 

what options do you have from tier b+? and at what prices?

Only the cooler master 650 mwe gold and the evga gq 1000, the evga is more expensive than the txm and the mwe

how much is there between the txm and mwe?

[cesh me inside b0z]

Corsair Vengeance 650 Silver, replaced Silverstone Gold.. which i had for 10 years and still works.

I am unsure why Silverstone's Strider Gold series is so low, those things are made like tanks and can take some serious loads without even sweating.

They're in Tier A, because they're single rail.

Silverstone's Strider, Silver & Golds are single rail also.

With the B tier ones, you may encounter coil whine in many units. I'd recommend going B+ or higher in your case.

Hi, 

 

I've been using an EVGA 1000W G3 80+ Gold in my system (Tier D+) for about 2 years and haven't had any issue but my question is. Should I get better one? I like to do overclocking and was wondering if a better PSU could potentially improve my OC (results/lower voltage on CPU)?

I can get the EVGA 1000W T2 80+ Titanium (Tier A). 

 

Specs:

- Asus XI Z390 Apex

- 9900K 5.2GHz

- 16GB RAM 4600MHz CL17

- 2080Ti 2070/8200MHz

 

Thank you

the g3 is there for highly set protections, as long as your unit is running fine, just continue to use it
