Posted February 8 Found this 1250w ATX 3.0 PSU for a decent price and was wondering if its any good? https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/power-supplies/mwe-series/mwe-gold-1250-v2-atx-3-0/#image-Item5 https://www.umart.com.au/product/cooler-master-1250w-mwe-80-gold-power-supply-68471 (Yes I know 1250w its overkill but I was gonna go 1000w for futureproofing but the 1250w version of the same PSU was only $20 more) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 8 It is a B tier on the PSU tier list, so it will work perfectly fine unless you are looking for amazing robustness and longevity. For your normal build it will be perfectly okay.

This PSU won't last you any longer than a cheaper one. You're just paying a shitload now for no benefit. Not exactly what I would do and that term needs to die.

This PSU won't last you any longer than a cheaper one. You're just paying a shitload now for no benefit. Not exactly what I would do and that term needs to die. To get one that cheap I’d have to get a 750w or 850w PSU. The minimum requirement for the RTX 4090 is already a 850w PSU. So future proofing as in no matter what comes out in the next say 10 years I’ll be able to power it. By the time the RTX 5000 series or say the 6000 series comes out. A 750w or 850w probably wouldn’t cut it for the higher end cards. You didn’t really answer my question at all but I hope this clears it up for.

How come it’s B tier and not A tier? Thanks for your time and comment btw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumors are the next gen will have lower power requirements. And because the power requirements of the 4000/RX7000 series are already sky high, it seems reasonable. If you want a 1000W fine, but 1250W seems excessive. If you're getting something for future, look at the ATX3 psus with the new pci5 cables like the RM850x shift or RM1000x shift. Both are listed on ubuy for around A$200-300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also holy moly 1250w is more than 100 Amps at 12v, that's almost like an entry level welding machine I wonder if OCP would trip if some one tried to stick weld with that bad boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
