26 minutes ago, vijaykarthi24 said:I have the following components:
Ryzen 5 3600, RTX 2060, Gigabyte b450m ds3h, hdd 1tb 7200rpm, 16gb 3000mhz ram
I needed a PSU. I have only option to buy thermaltake smart bx1 RGB 550W 80+ Bronze PSU due to lockdown. Is it reliable? I'll be using it for machine learning and gaming. I'm not gonna overclock.
If it's a bad PSU. I can replace it after 6 months. Need suggestion.
Please help!
More than likely you'll be fine until you find a higher quality unit but nobody can say for sure. However, these 'cheaper' psu's that are placed on lower tiers are more likely to experience failures which may or may not take components out with them. Right now, I'm using a cheap evga that is considered to be pretty bottom of the barrel and it's fine after 2 years of usage. You're kind of gambling when you put in a low tier PSU that doesn't offer the same overvoltage protection as more expensive ones.
