i can tell you what it is already, the 450/550w are just vs but upgraded, and the 650 is likely something close to br or masterwatt

 

Jonnyguru, corsair's designer is around here

I can't win a reddit argument with that . Duly noted for personal future reference though

I have asked about the Phanteks Revolt Pro series (Not Revolt X series) here several pages before and know that no one can confirm whether it is based on seasonic focus fx or gx (more likely based on fx model). Then I sent an email to support@phanteksusa.com asking about whether the pro series based on Focus fx or gx model and just get the reply that’s they say pro series are based on Focus gx model.  Although there is not any proof ...

this is actually very possible and i'd love to hear from all oems about this

 

Seasonic stopped producing the 2017 models for themselves, but are tight lipped around oem stuff to other companies

Yeah, it's actually very likely that it's Focus GX based on newer batches, but again, you don't know what batch you'll get (and it was released when there were still FX) so it's complicated, with a lot of other options i wouldn't recommend getting them (even Phanteks's own AMP series, no 'dual-system' gimmicks but otherwise the same Focus GX and cheaper).

If the CV650 ends up in tier B, that would be quite nice. Contender for the CX450M in the cheap cheap but good category, since the CX450M is usually the cheapest Tier B or higher unit on pcpp US that has 2 6+2 PCIe connectors. The CV650 would make low end builds with the real power hogs like a 980 ti or 780 ti more viable, when paired with something like a Ryzen 7 1700.

problem is that only cv450/550 have been confirmed to be what was said to be

 

I'm yet to see any internal shots or reviews of the 650w version

now i only need something to compare it to... they don't seem to have the LX, SP9 or MW listed

What do you think, is TH just as incompetently and unreliably testing psu's as motherboards ;)?

TL;DR of the video? I don't know what's it about, but I doubt it couldn't have been an article instead of 25 minutes of a talking head.

 

What does it have to do with PSUs or this tier list, anyway? As far as I can tell, this is about motherboards. There's no correlation between quality of motherboard reviews and quality of PSU reviews, unless they're being done by the same person and that person decides to incorrectly review both.

Not gonna watch this drama but right off i can say that motherboards and PSUs for THG are reviewed by different people, in the case of PSUs it's Aris Mpitziopoulos, IIRC he actually works for Cybenetics and tests PSUs for them in the first place, then for a whole bunch of review sites like THG, TPU, Tweaktown and also publishes them at his YT channel, go find more competent PSU reviewer.

Tom's hw reviewer used extremely flawed methods to test MSI's low-end X570 motherboards, claims it's great and called everyone who reported horrible VRM temps (quite a few) trolls and generally acted like an asshole.

but to add to this: the person on the motherboards isn't Aris, so it's irrelevant for us here

How do I find out if a version is the one in the list? For example if it says 2017 TXM, is it this one? CP-9020133-EU

Follow the link, there's part number in specifications on PCPP, yes, it's 2017 version.
