Choosing a PSU

Hello,

As my name says, am new here and new to PC building.

I saw the PSU Tier List while searching for reviews and two of the PSU's that I searched for are here.

 

I am making this post because I am a bit confused because I saw some reviews saying the Cooler Master has a bad transient response at 3.3V and on another page saying that the efficiency at low loads is poor.

But here that PSU is put on the Tier A List. And for the Gigabyte I've read that is good but can be bit noisy when pushed.

 

 

So my question is: Cooler Master V850 Platinum or Gigabyte Aorus AP850GM?

The cooler master i would get. Both _Have LLC and are not group reg. The gigabtye one is not in the lsit tho. Can not be the worst but since it is not in the list i would get the V850 plat

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

APGM is in the list in tier B

 

with that said, V-platinum is better in almost every way

Alright . I always look from the spreadsheet. Did not see the rank there.
