Not sure which PSU to get for a budget build...

 

Should I get the P1-400B-XTFR from XFX or the 100-B1-0500-KR from EVGA?

 

The XFX one is made by Seasonic (http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page625.htm) while the 500B is made by HEC (http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page2293.htm)

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks!

The XT sucks. Get the EVGA.

85C caps...*facepalm*

 

also @OP the XT is designed by seasonic and it's outsourced (the TS is made by seasonic and is better than both).

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

Wait, did I miss something? Does the XT have 85C rated caps?

Yup (and I forgot to finish my post like usual...) so...original CX anyone? 

 

Can someone please tell me who the writer is for that list? They really need to specify that it's outsourced and not made by seasonic...

(It's still the only article on this line of PSUs so it's just slowly annoying me how nobody has reviewed it yet...)

Both Hydance and XFX XT implementations use rather low end CS hold-up capacitor rated for 85 degrees C on the primary side

The PSU tier list? Aniallation's or the PCMR subreddit's?
