[EOL] PSU Tier List rev. 14.8

Looks like the 'Aurum' thing just refers to the golden color of the PSU casing, nothing else, no difference. If you look at the tier list GX-F Aurum is in the same tier as regular GX-F.

Actually, according to Cougar's website, the Aurum has a fanless mode, while the regular GX-F doesn't :



The big problem with the Aurum is that there isn't any reliable review of this power supply (the only review was done with a unit that - apparently - arrived with a dead fan controller)

I see now that Be Quiet Pure Power 11 300W is not ranked as high as the other Pure Power 11, Either that was not the case when i Looked at it when I bought a PSU for my NAS, or I saw wrong.
Dont seem like the best choice of PSU

Well, it's okay for NAS, but yeah, it's been in tier D for a while now, it's group regulated in contrast with 400W+ versions.

Hopefully it will last a long time when my NAS dont even draw 100W at max. Would have gotten the 400W version if I knew that tho, might have just missed it when I was looking, it was 1,5 years ago ish.

You know it's a lower quality PSU when they don't even list the protections. I can't even find any additional info on this PSU other than whats on the store page. I'd avoid it and find something that at least has reviews if you need a PSU.

Which tier should this unit be on?

 

SEGOTEP AP650W

 

For some reason I think this is a Tier C/D unit at best

 

@Juular @LukeSavenije

 

Also another question, is the CX-M (grey labelled) a Tier B unit or something else?

[hjckr]

Hi folks,

can I get your advise between these two units:

1. be quiet! Pure power 11 650W CM
2. EVGA 650 GQ

I am leaning towards the evga as up to 40% utilization it is fanless, however the be quiet has 12V multi-rail operation.

Pricing is very similar, they have 3 Euro difference. Both come with 5 year warranty.

 

To be used on x470 MB with AMD ryzen 3700x or 3900x CPU (headless server).

 

Any advice?

I'd say EVGA too, fanless (although bq! idle RPMs are around 600 which should be very quiet), all jap-caps (not that it matters much, bq!'s Teapo caps are decent too).

No reviews but from what i see (rather low 12V wattage), it's probably group regulated so tier D.

Thanks, so what about the CX550M then (the grey labelled one)?

Tier C.

[DarkReaper9]

Hey there! I was asking myself in which Tier this config would go?:

Intel i3-10100F,

LEPA NEoIlusion CPU Cooler

16GB 3000MHz RGB RAM,

XFX RX 5600XT Thicc II Pro,

ASUS B460 Mobo,

5 RGB case fans,

1x HDD

1x NVME SSD.

Are you asking for PSU recommendations?  If yes I'll probably suggest you to open a thread in the PSU forum, not asking here

 

You should try look for a Tier B unit at the very least if you are looking for a PSU

Tier B, under Cooler Master MWE Gold, though not the MWE Gold V2 (Tier B low priority due to lack of info as it's new)

 

Side note: I like how in the spreadsheet you guys added the NZXT HALE82/HALE90/HALE82 v2. Not sure if it's because of that one thread about the guy trying to run a 3070 with it, or you were already planning on adding it. Either way, it's good to see more PSUs added to the list, no matter how old they are.

Yeah that spreadsheet is great! Keep up the good work, it is greatly appreciated.

Hi guys, I just discovered this thread but I do not quite understand it completely, forgive my ignorance.

If a power supply is in tier A but it is in "low priority units", does it mean it is a good PSU or a bad PSU? would it be advisable for a lower tier?

In my case I have a Fractal Design Edison M 450W accompanying an i5 6500 and a GTX 1060 6GB. Is it ok?

There's actually a spreadsheet (linked at the top of the post but I'll link it here) that shows why the PSUs are in low priority (right now, mostly Tier A PSUs and not many tier C are listed). It could be due to tripping with certain PSUs, low/no info or reviews, or noise problems.

 

Your PSU in particular trips with AMD Vega cards. It's fine for a 1060.

When I look at the available ampage of a PSU for how many hard drives the unit can power, do I just look under 3.3V ?

No.  Because hard drives don't use 3.3V.

 

New thread, please.

What tier would the Micronics Compact SFX 700W 80+ Gold fit in?

here's the 80+ Certification document (it's certified as 80+ Plat, dunno why they named it 80+ Gold)

[from Micronics' official website]

[SirCheese3]

For the Micronics Compact 700W, I couldn't find any data on it in the spreadsheet, but I did manage to find a single Korean reviewer who slightly disassembled it: https://www.ilovepc.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=34184

Judging by the pieces of internals they show on their site :

Compact SFX-L PT - tier B low prio.

Compact SFX GD - tier C low prio.

Compact SFX Bronze - tier D
