Best power supply for 60€

[sythee]

Hi guys I'll keep this short.

 

Last year in july I bought an MSI MagA550BN power supply and it has been buzzing and Started clicking the last week. (Only does that when I'm in premiere pro)

 

So now I'm looking for a new one since I think this one can explode at any second. We don't have an msi office here so i can't send it in for warranty nor do I want to be without my pc for a while.

 

I am from Serbia and I use monitor.rs website, if someone can find me a decent one that's from the tier list in that range i will be so thankful.

 

Pc specs:

Ryzen 5 2400g

A320mh

16gb ram (2x8)

Gigabyte rx 580 4gb

Samsung m.2 980 500gb

Kingston sa 400gb sata ssd

@Dedayog @Middcore @PDifolco any of u guys understand the PSU labels and protections and stuff?

Actually, I found something that's familiar, here's a CorsairCX quite decent PSU, it's got 450W which is recommended for your GPU's power, it's a C tier PSU which is way better than the other hundreds of E tier PSUs that are on the website, and it has a 5 year warranty if I'm reading that correctly:

 The main thing I know about reading PSU labels is to look at what the actual wattage for the 12v rail is because that's the "fine print" which gives away a lot of junk PSUs that claim a wattage they can't deliver.

 

Protections, nada.

Thanks for that. Is this one better than the msi MagA550BN that i currently have? I thought the msi wasn't that bad but it let me down.

I don't read labels, I check at PSU Cultists and Cybenetics  

Cheap reliable => https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8LNxFT/msi-mag-a-bn-650-w-80-bronze-certified-atx-power-supply-mag-a650bn

Tbf i have the 550bn version and it Started buzzing after like 4 months of use. I would just skip msi as a brand

Here in Norway the store that sold you the defective product is responsible for processing warranty claims(on behalf of the manufacturer). Have you tried contacting the store?

I can contact the store, but as I said, I don't want to be without a pc for a while, it would probably take like a month.

That's understandable, but you can just do it after you buy the new one and then sell the replacement they send you.

Samsung m.2 980 500gb

This configuration would consume less than 100 watts when you're not gaming

 

2400g = ~ 40-60 watts

a320mh = ~ 10 watts (chipset, onboard audio, network)

16 gb ram = ~ 2w per stick , so 4w in total\

gigabyte rx 580 = 10-20w in windows, watching a movie, editing a video etc , if you're gaming it may consume up to 175-200 watts

ssds consume around 3-5 watts each.

 

You say buzzing ... it's important to make a distinction between coil whine and actual buzzing caused by a bad contact. Coil whine is just annoying but isn't a fault in the power supply and doesn't damage components and it's caused by the mix of components you have, it's an interaction between how psu converts high voltage to 12v and how the motherboard converts 12v to lower voltages the cpu needs and the way the video card converts 12v to the lower voltages the gpu chip needs.

 

Buzzing can be of a different kind, like for example when the AC cable is too loose inside the power supply socket ... check psu socket and make sure the pins are not damaged or dirty... it the ac cable comes out very easily, a simple fix would be to change the AC cable, they're standard cables you can buy from IT stores.

 

You say clicking happens only in Premiere ... Premiere can use the video card to decode the video played in the timeline, or when rendering projects. It's possible you're hearing the video card fans turning on and off when Premiere uses the video card to decode video or use the video card to render content.

 

Anyway, if you insist on buying something else, how about you list some online stores you can buy from and we may be able to link to some models you can buy.

Totally agree with everything but the coil whine. This buzz is special - more like a electrical kind of buzzing, i have tried cleaning the psu (it wasn't even dirty) reseated it, and it was still making the same noises. I guess the only thing I didn't do is changing the power cable (I've got an old one from my older power supply). Won't hurt to try but thank you for spending your time to help me. Also i don't think my gpu is the one clicking... the clicking happens when loading in a specific project (a more demanding one) and it just keeps clicking whenever i go through the timeline.
