Cheap PSUs?

[Astro173]

Whats the cheapest psu (under $100) for 750w or above with 80+gold efficiency that most importantly wouldn't blow up in my face? Thanks

This one should be good.

I would prefer this one as it is cheaper than the Thermaltake and none of my 9 PSU's have ever failed me. The only thermaltake i bought (probably unlucky) did.

 

It's also got EVGA's ECO mode (similar to corsair's Zero RPM mode), where fans only run under load.

If you are going mini itx or jsut looking for a smaller (SFX instead of ATX) PSU,

Has ECO and also is the most reliable in my opinion for its price. The pricing (sub $100) is amazing up to the 750w. The competitor (Corsair) goes for 125$ on the other hand. I always buy for future proofing because they fit in tiny cases.

That's a low end PSU. ACRF, so poor transient response, similar to the entry level Corsair CXM, Be Quiet Pure Power 10/11, etc

I'd like to say quickly that 80+ rating doesn't determine how good a PSU is. All it measures is electrical efficiency. For actual PSU performance, looking at reviews would be a better idea.

pretty sure OP is asking for a cheap PSU, and that fits the description. Had good luck with an EVGA 600 of the same series in my test bench so personally I could recommend it.

Also had good luck with Thermaltake Smart PSUs if you want to go even lower, they're not bad they're just... down a notch.
