Why this page isn't supported/updated yet?

for the same reason as Tomshardware being discontinued. We as a team chose to go to our own platform due to some limitations I won't discuss here

 

For us there's (sadly) no longer a reason to re-format the whole list to fit LTT's coding, though we do offer a creative commons license that would allow the list as is to be re-published here under the credit of the site

Now that this is EOL, should we perhaps link the Cultists tier list?

Hi. I have a Seasonic Focus GX-850 and i don't know if it is free of problems. How do i know if it is a refresh or an old one? Thanks.

GX is the new one, it is fine. "Focus Plus" is the one with the refresh.

None of those three.

Wanted to check is the Phanteks AMP 1000W 80+ Gold PSU on that teir list? I see Phanteks  AMP but it has "– Revolt Pro"

Is that special kind ? or is the white 1000w one perfectly fine?

EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G7 had a few reviews released, did not see them in the spreadsheet

Noticed previous generations are marked as gray, wondering if it makes sense to buy G7 compared to 850W power supplies from Seasonic.

Well thei lie about their tempereture rating, and do not communicate well when there is aa new revision and are the known problems fixed or not

 

Their higher end "Prime" still seems to have problems with high transient gpus, even tho it was discoverd over 4 years ago. They are also pretty loud and badly priced.

Their mid range "F'ocus" series seems to be fixed when it comes to the high transient problerm. There were no communication about this obviously, so users had to report them fixed by themselfes first. Focus is also loud and badly priced units.

 

Conclusion: Seasonic is antisocial lying psu maker, that does bad value psus, with loud fans and are not willing to fix the problems with their Prime series.

Hi guys,

I can't really understand if this list is still something one can rely upon. I could use your help cause some models aren't easy to find.
I have a Corsair AX760.

My current rig is:
Intel i7-9700k
1 m2
5 HDD (3.5 - mixed 5.400 and 7.200) + AIO WC (pump + 2 fan radiator)
3 case fans
Sata bluray player/recorder

The situation is I am upgrading from a 1080 EVGA hybrid to a 6950 XT and stupid here didn't realise a change of PSU was a possibility.
After I ran a few PSU calculators most have suggested a 1000w PSU.

At my list currently I have this model: be quiet! Straight Power 11 1000W (PLATINUM VERSION). What do you guys think?

 

UPDATE: After some digging I'm going for an 850w PSU.

My list so far is:
MSI mpg a850gf 850w
FRACTAL DESIGN 860W ION+ 2
be quiet! Straight Power 11 850W

 

Any recommendations would be most welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Too many pages to sift, but looking at the above post.  Why is everyone still using the outdated revision list on LTT which borrows from Cultist?  It's up to Revision 16.1A now.  Many of these PSUs have been revised.  The Core Reactor is now a gold listed PSU.  Superflower Leadex III is Tier A low priority not gold, MSI A1000G is a gold listed PSU Tier A, completely missing etc.

 

Someone needs to update this properly 😕

OP is affiliated with them, he just stopped updating since he got lazier and threw a tantrum that the forum didn't allow him to link Cultists
