600w Gold or 700w White?

[LovelyBloom]

Hi, I'm a new member

long story short, my PSU just blew up!!!

I'll be replacing with a new one and I have two options with the same value:

a 600w 80+Gold PSU or a 700w 80+White for the same price, which should I go for? Quality?

[seon123]

Probably neither. The wattage and 80+ rating says nothing about how good they are. What are you powering, and where are you buying from?

[Herobrine Player]

I would recommend checking out the PSU tier list to help you find quality units: 

In terms of 600w vs 700w I go with a 600w one unless you need the extra power.

For the PSU that blew up I would first check to see if it took anything with it, and also can you claim warranty for a refund to go towards the new one.

80+ gold doesnt mean it's good, but getting a 700w 80+ white in 2022 is almost always wrong.

The problem with your replies is that I have no choice but to choose from local market

this is what I found

and This is what I found after going through the pages you sent me which bronze and about 500,000 less yet it has more sata and pci-e outputs which should I choose?

The first one is a unknown psu so chances of it being good are very small. The mwe bronze v2 is a good unit.

 

But it all comes down to what your system specs are.

[LovelyBloom]

my specs:

Motherboard: Asus Z190 Pro Gaming

CPU: Intel Core i5 6400 2.70 Ghz 3.20 Turbo

GPU: Nvidia GTX 970 4GB

RAM: 16 GB

 

PS: my last PSU was a 585w but couldn't do a turbo of 3.2 and got only up to 3.09, since I'm replacing I want this ancient PC to be able to perform it's best. at least until the next upgrade:

I'll probably drag it out by buying a good PSU right now, a 7700k CPU, an AMD 6000 series (6900 XT probably) Graphics Card instead of those new Nvidia ones that kick ass etc.

 

this are my current and future specs.

PS: if I had the money, no double I'd buy the best Corsair PSU on the local market. but I don't right now, you see I'm migrating to web development with a group and we're currently doing front-end dev (others are behind on JS, but that ok. we'll teach them). then we'll do back-end like PHP server coding and become full-stack devs.

but right now I'm on the budget since I'm between jobs, but that doesn't mean I'll buy trash that won't last me some good years.

 

the problem is: I have to buy on the sly. whatever is in the country's local market and that's it. that's the sad part.

Are you sure you aren't expecting the CPU to do single core turbo on all cores? It's always 100-300Mhz or so lower under allcore loads than the stated max turbo on the spec page, as Intel states the single core boost there.

no I'm not sure what current generation works. but with the last psu before that I always got 3.20 with problem. but that PSU is gone too.
I think I'll go with the bronze one guys. 2,100,000 / 27,000 = around 78$ but the Gold one is 2,700,000 / 27,000 is around: 100$
PS: it might look cheap but dollar is VERY EXPENSIVE here

No.  

 

The first one is actually a Raidmax Vortex.  Hardly "unknown". It's an Andyson made LLC unit with DC to DC.

 

The Cooler Master is actually the 230v only version of that model, so it has the anemic bridge rectification that self destructs with frequent brown outs.

yeah you're absolutely right. I took a good look at the specs on them and Raidmax is Superior. I should buy that one. thanks for telling me
