Is it ok to buy a psu with a not famous brand but still 80+

[ninjaboyxd629]

Hi im planning to buy a new psu and i found this https://shopee.ph/POWEREX-LEGEND-700W-PSU-TRUE-RATE-80-PLUS-BRONZE-(Used)power-supply-3-Months-warranty-i.127372914.5046911442 its not a famous brand korean i think but its 80+ is it safe to buy/use? or just buy a corsair psu?

80+ is not an indicator of quality and 80+ badges are sometimes even fake.

 

"Just buy a Corsair PSU" is also a bad idea since there are Corsair-branded PSU's that are good quality and Corsair-branded PSU's that are poor.

You can check what PSUs you have available in your country and check in which category it is here

That means literally nothing in terms of quality, especially on an off brand PSU. Considering the fact that a bad PSU can kill your entire computer, it's not something you should cheap out on.

I would avoid it unless I'm throwing it into like a Dell Optiplex
