one is gold but not EPS(not sure if i need that) and has OCP

and the other one has EPS but its bronze

all three of them have an EPS connector.

both have an 8 pin EPS (aka CPU) connector. TXm is by all means the better PSU here, using a more modern design as well as being more efficient. CXm is a budget oriented PSU, and not something that would fit as good with this system due to a chance of whining

it is weird! even on corsairs site, it doesnt say EPS to either of those. an amazon review though says this is in the box XD

1 x ATX Cable
1 x EPS/ATX12V Cable
4 x PCIe 8 pin (6+2) Cables
6 x SATA Cables
4 x Molex Cables
1 x Floppy Cable

I doubt there are any relatively modern PSU for DIY market that doesn't have EPS, it's essential.

@viceice could you perhaps take some shots of HP Performance GD through the grille to confirm that it's indeed Chieftec Polaris platform ?

Hello

I realize it's annoying to be answering every single question about if this or that PSU it's ok, so I'm sorry for this, but i saw mine in the Potentially Dangerous category and i kinda Panik!

My system is:

CPU: R5 3600, GPU: 5700xt, 2x8GB ddr4 3000mhz (3300mhz currently), 1 ssd nvme, 1 ssd sata, 1 hdd 7200rpm and 2 120mm fans, nothing over the top, so i thought my old EVGA 600B would be ok.

So, would it be ok? I also have an UPS, so maybe that helps

 

Thank you and sorry for my rusty english

Nope, probably not Panik worthy but be sure to replace it ASAP.

in my country the new psu from seasonic s12iii has a similar price to sp9. s12iii seems a better psu overall but the question now is why dcdc is better than indy?

Ok, thanks for the quick response.

So what do i have to look for in a decent PSU ?

I know that should look in the list for something in the B category or above, but the problem is that where i live in (Argentina) we have very few options, and often there are unkown brands, or even well kown ones, but they have like a hundred little variants and maybe one letter in the name makes the difference.

This three were the only ones i could find that are present in the list:

https://www.hardrosario.com/productos/fuente-gigabyte-650w-gp-p650b-80-certificada/?variant=65673082&utm_source=hardgamers&utm_medium=search engine

https://www.hardrosario.com/productos/fuente-evga-650gq-650w-80-certificada-gold-modular/?variant=65673402&utm_source=hardgamers&utm_medium=search engine

https://www.electronia.com.ar/DETALLE/ITEM_ID=45001/GlobalBluePoint-ERP.aspx?utm_source=hardgamers&utm_medium=search engine

 

The others as i said, are different models of well kown brands, or things like this

https://compragamer.com/producto/fuente_segotep_600w_80_plus_gold_gp700g_9866?redir=1&nro_max=50

 

Thank you

 

Edit: If you want to understand the prices, just divide the numer it says by 100, and that would be the price in USA dollars aprox.

Edit 2: Also avalilable 

https://www.computershopping.com.ar/Producto/Fuente-NZXT-E-Series-500W-ATX-MODULAR-80--GOLD?utm_source=hardgamers&utm_medium=search engine

I don't understand how a A+ PSU could be priced the same that a C. My country logic i guess.

Why DC-DC better than double-mag amp?

FTFY, because both DC-DC and double-mag amp are independent regulation topologies, just different implementations. Double-mag amp are older, with somewhat worse performance (voltage regulation mostly) and used very rarely anyway, okay for budget PSU like Seasonic S12III tho.

@Dhonny Third link doesn't work for me. Choosing from those options, cheapest one, Gigabyte P650B would be okay. But with this GPU i'd recommend smth better, Gigabyte G750H probably since there are no other alternatives in high-end-ish range unless you go all the way to 14-15k ones like Seasonic Focus. I'm not entirely sure about that Segotep GP700, it may be on different platform than GP650.

@viceice Yeah, indeed looks like Chieftec Polaris platform, thanks.

sp9 would actually be better in my eyes in a lot of ways. but to the double mag amp vs dcdc is mainly in voltage regulation and more importantly low-load efficiency is a lot better on DC-DC because it can function with less load compared to double mag

Hi guys,

 

What would you choose between:

Seasonic Focus GX 650W -- 105$

Superflower Leadex GOLD III 650w - 95$

Corsair RM650 650w - 100$

I want to power a Vega64 Nitro+ & Ryzen 3600

Thank you:)

Hello,

Which one should I get between the Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 850W ARGB (10 years with BURN warranty) (Tier A) & Antec HCP 1000W(7 year warranty) (Tier S)?

 

Reading the methodology, I don’t see too much improvement from tier A to S. Besides the 3 year extra warranty is really tempting. 
 

please suggest which one should I get?

I have a feeling that you don't need neither, what are your PC specs ?

2x sapphire nitro+ Rx 580

ryzen 1600x. 
 

yes I don’t need any of them right now. But I’m buying these for future upgrades & I don’t have many choices as the stocks in my country is limited in the top tiers.  
 

please suggest me which one should I get between these.

@Newbie0 Thing is, you need to decide what you'll be upgrading to. If that would be dual high-end GPUs, like RTX2080 or even some AMD room heaters then definitely Antec HCP Plat since it's multi-rail and 850W would be a bit low anyway. If it would be just one high-end GPU then assuming that GF1 is considerably cheaper - go for it, why not, but in this case you don't need 850W, and maybe there would be some 650\750W PSU for cheaper.

Both PSU price is same in my country. Plus I can’t find any top tier PSU in 750W range. 
 

I’m just Trying to comparing both PSU about the quality and reliability. And my PC literally runs 20 hours a day (with load sometimes) as it’s used by me & my brother.
