I need some help

[TheBestLoyalist]

So, I bought a n1 evga power supply for a computer. and after awhile I saw a short about how some psus can be ticking time bombs so i go to check if this one is, on the psu teir list its at the bottom of the barrel. so I need to get a good psu for like 50-60 dollars canadian. Its been working fine so far but I want to upgrade it before I try putting a gpu in it eventualy

Personally if you're going to spend that much for another, I would just try to go for a proper reputable one, Corsair, Seasonic etc so you don't risk affecting your components.

 

Whats your Wattage on your PSU

This PSU is renowned garbage indeed

You won't get a decent one for 60 canadian rubles, one of the cheapest I know (MSI MAG A650BN) is C$100

But really a good PSU is long term investment, all the ones I have bought since 10 years are still running (Corsair CV, CX and RMx), and I never feared a fire hazard

450w is what it can do

Would you like more headroom or would you be okay with a 450 Watt one? I can find you something for roughly the same price that will be better for you

why so expensive?

is that a bad psu?

 

there are also several bequiet psus for around 50€, i kinda doubt bequiet makes bad psus tbh, even the system power ones should be ok for most builds, iirc my bequiet pure power 500w cost like 60 bucks and has no problems powering a RTX 3070 , im just perplexed why it needs to be "100", around 50 should have plenty of good psus. 

 

 

ps: OMG I checked Canadian prices OMG you guys getting scammed so hard hahah, oh boy.  250 bucks for a system power?  xD

1 Canadian dollar is worth only around 0.6 EUR/0.7 USD so prices are quite higher indeed !

yeah, even if you account for that still seems quite high.  i just know im in scam territory when i see the *same* psu on Amazon(ca) for 105,  175, *and* 250 CAD, haha.

 

its here like that with GPUs here tbf, but not psus, probably actually because we have bequiet,  so there's actual competition!

Yeah, its very expensive. abit of a update, I bought a Antec noeeco zen ne500g. I saw it higher than the n1 on the teir list. I install it, everything is fine. untill i turn it off and try to turn my pc back on in the morning. It stopped working, so i put my old n1 back in and had to screw around and it went back up again. so now that i saved about 80 bucks cad I was looking around and saw the msi mag a550bn. Is that a alright buy or no? sorry for late reply, forgot my password to my account  also planing on putting a rx 6650xt in my pc within a few months so I gotta make sure its alright for that
