Silverstone viva 550 vs cooler master MWE v2 550w 230v

Go to solution Solved by Dogzilla07,

If he doesn't have  drastically reduced voltage after people in his neighborhood come from work, brownouts, and/or bad power grid, he'll be fine. In the case it does happen Gospower did all the protection properly, I doubt anything will die other than the PSU, after a number of shutdowns, and he can just RMA it then.

 

If he does know he has a bad power grid, better just replace where bought, or sell and buy an XPG Pylon.

Which of thse two psus is good.

The latter is better, but it is only for 230V. If the AC voltage drops, the PSU may turn off or die.

Is 550w enough for this setup?

1) i have never heard of that brand when it comes to psus other than on rams. now i have heard it i would prioritize over the mwe v2 230v
2)


3) unfortunately friend now already have ordered mwe v2 230V and it's not from amazon so he cant cancel.

Np, Gospower is the factory/company that makes the MWE V2 psu's in collaboration with Cooler Master.

Aris reviews (Hardware Busters International on youtube, tomshardware,techpowerup), a few other reviews form cross-comparison from here, and discussions on this and few forums, but mostly Aris reviews.

 

Best bet is to figure out which reviewers are good (like Aris for instance is the highest quality PSU reviewer on internet atm), start on the PSU Tier list here on the forum, check the spreadsheet for additional review sources, check his youtube, search the forums here a bit, look at the discussions that pop up, and that's about it.

 

And then if u have more time/motivation either participate in discussions, or if not, again just ask for help, opinions like for you did now.
