PSU for 960GTX

[Mchedlo]

yes. it will probably only last 15 years instead of 25. 

hahahaha gave me a giggle there mate!

[ZetZet]

Did you know that the FSP raider bronze actually fails voltage regulations, overvolts the system and kills components over the span of a year? No? Good! Now you do.

but it doesnt. because this is not fsp raider and the psu has perfect reviews for fucking days. For months. 

 

If it was so notorious for breaking systems within a year the amazon page would be FILLED with bad reviews. ITS NOT.

[Biggerboot]

nobody seems to notice my Edit on main subject.. can you tell me if those PSUs have 8pin/6 pin connectors for GTX 960? I don't remember it needs 8 or 6

 

It has 2 6+2 (8) pins.  It's more than enough for a 960.

It's based on the same platform and it's made by FSP

B1 is tier 4

GS is tier 1

No it's not. I just looked it up. JonnyGURU actually took it apart and looked inside. You fucking lied.

It's an improvement over the Raider but it's nowhere near as good as the GS or as reliable.

It seriously makes no difference at all to 99.99% of consumers.

 

 

It doesn't fail. So it's reliable. If it fails in 10 years, sucks. Will someone care? No.

But it won't let your PSU die during a power surge or kill anything if it dies and it will support OCing properly with tight +12V regulation. @STRMfrmXMN can back me up here.

[Biggerboot]

It's by FSP and based on a crappy platform - uses chinese/taiwanese caps and it's performance is lackluster.

 

Pretty much all computer parts I've dealt with have 'cheap' capacitors in them.

 

If the warranty has him covered I still don't have a problem recommending the B1 unless he's really concerned with effeciency.

[don_svetlio]

ow well (

I had a PSU from Tier 4 (Thermaltake Smart SE 630W) - key word '- Had

600 people from Amazon reviews can back me up here.

....Diablotek has 400 positive reviews - does it make it good? Nope. Customer reviews are useless 99% of the time.

I have also UPS, to back up my PC just in case. doesn't that protect from power surge?

I know it's not the CX but most pertains to here

Do you just have that link saved somewhere?

no. Diablotek has a different percentage of positive reviews. It's not 95 to 5 like on EVGA.

it does.

Partly yes. Though you still have the unstable +12V rail issue when loading it to the max - the lower it goes, the more work the GPU VRMs have to do, wearing them out faster.

Nah, on my school computer, had to look up the video

[don_svetlio]

no. Diablotek has a different percentage of positive reviews. It's not 95 to 5 like on EVGA.

But it has positive reviews, right?

[ZetZet]

But it has positive reviews, right?

it doesn't matter to me. 600 people was a joke. If you didn't pick it up. My main point from the beginning was that it has almost no bad reviews. Actually the same amount as GS does. 

[Mchedlo]

and how can I load it to the max? im not overclocking anything (gpu comes OC-ed already). if it will last 2-3 years at least, im more than fine with it

I would be more concerned with having proper grounded electricity then concerning myself with a power supply.  I'm not losing any of my other electronics.

If the B1 was that good, GS wouldn't exist. Customer reviews are arbitrary.
