sometimes it's noted on the label in some way... but I haven't really looked into how this is done on EVGA units

 

assuming you're in the US here (PSU prices vary especially now per country)

personally, I'd grab

- formula gold if you don't plan to go much higher end than something like this

- neo eco gold if you want something that's expected to last around 5 years due to the fan

- amp/tp dps g/focus if you want something with a better fan, expected around 7-10 years

- straight power 11/gf1/revolution df/rmx if you want something more quiet with a similar life expectancy of the above

- straight power 11 platinum/ion+ if you want something more efficient with 80+ platinum

 

these aren't all options out there, this is just as far as pcpp US goes as of right now

Hello, I'm sorry to wake up this thread, but rn I have option od getting ion+ 560P for 5$ cheaper than the straight power 11 550W, what would you recommend? Thanks and sorry.

There is the PSU tier list.  How does it rate them?

NVM, changed my mind, since I read on the PSU tier list that multirail is better and be quiet is whereas fractal isn't.

nope, not a matter at this wattage, to be honest

Hrmm.  Multi rail CAN be better.  A lot of it has to do with what you have on the motherboard at what voltage.  If everything is 12v the 5v and 3.5v rails don’t nothing and you’ve got yourself a PSU of significantly lower wattage than you intended.  If you do have multiple voltages going on multi rail is better because there’s less conversion.

multirail OCP doesnt actually care about those things........

 

on a normal ATX powersupply there will allways be the 12v, 5v and 3,3v. mutlirail OCP just put in multiple smaller OCP limits on the 12v rather than one big one. (in the context of relevant PSUs)

I'm getting lost here, but I just ordered the Ion+. Thanks for the help guys!
