Posted December 26, 2020 So i have a gtx 980 ryzen 2600 16 gbs of ram and a b450 mobo. I saw this was in the B tier on the psu list so i was wondering if i should get it. If not what are some other psus for the same price? There is also another psu by Silverstone i was wondering about getting. Its also cheaper!

Posted December 26, 2020 You don't have anything too power hungry, so a B-tier unit should be fine. I'd probably go with the Be Quiet unit if it were me, but that Silverstone unit is probably just a rebranded Seasonic, so it would be fine as well (don't quote me on that, check for yourself before buying) Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/1285903-good-power-supply/#findComment-14334103 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also only 3 year warranty...oof. I'd personally take the be quiet! over Silverstone. There's also the Antec Earthwatts Gold Pro 550w for $80 on Amazon. It's a tier A PSU that is a rebranded Seasonic Focus GM, with a 7 year warranty.

Thanks, figured it was rebranded, just didn't know who was the OEM, and figured most are Seasonic Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/1285903-good-power-supply/#findComment-14334171 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasonic is perfectly capable of selling garbage, just like any other brand :) Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/1285903-good-power-supply/#findComment-14334563 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be easier if you actually wrote which models you're looking at, and linked where you're buying from :) Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/1285903-good-power-supply/#findComment-14334567 Share on other sites More sharing options...
