Also by the names of the pictures I can tell Oklahoma shoots with a Sony Cybershot.

From the "DSC_" prefix? I'm pretty sure Jeremy got his shots off of his Nikon that he gotten back in 2013. Specifically the D5100, unless it died in the past 6 months where he still got his refurbished D800 that he got near the end of 2016. http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/showpost.php?p=133166&postcount=106

Good job. There is a little error under Tier 2

"

• Fractal Design - Edison M, Tesla R2 650W/1000W, Tesla R3"

There is no such thing as Tesla R3.

Interesting.

I'm pretty sure he meant Fractal Design Newton R3.

I considered bumping it down to tier 3 due to lack of OVP but kept it there as it's got other redeeming features. The GS is plenty for most people (550W and 650W) versions so long as you don't work them too hard.

 

EDIT: OTP was the thing it lacks.

Follow up with my experience with the 550GS, first one picked up was DOA... got new one and it had a clicking sound I started to notice after a few days. Took it back and upgraded to a 550G3 hopefully better luck. (what makes the G3 tier 1?)

I have used numerous EVGA 550GSs (including the one in the PC I'm using now, my own personal one) and have never had issues, but both our cases are purely anecdotal. The PSU makes a loud click when it turns on or off (or maybe it's when it wakes from sleep??) which is perfectly normal. The G3 is tier 1 just due to how great the build quality and electrical performance are.

I appreciate your input, Yeah mine was making a clicking sound whilst the computer was running, similar sounding to a hard drive which is what I first suspected. And the goal of my build was to be silent lol. I'm glad to know the G3 has great build quality and performance!

If your goal is silence, the EVGA G3 may not be the best option if it's anything like the 850w model. If your goal is quietness, you can go for either the Corsair RM550x or the EVGA 550G2.

Hey people,

What do you think of these two PSU's?

Currently we have no idea how the B3 is built or performs although since the B2 is pretty good, I highly doubt it would be a downgrade so I'm just going to say both are decent.

I guess I will wait then although the B3 looks good on paper. Thanks for the fast reply

Both of them shouldn't be bad, but in this case, I would go with the EVGA B3 if it's in the same price point, as it is fully modular and has better connectivity (dual 6 / 8 pin PEG for the graphic card).

They're competitive to each other. I'd get the EVGA but both are fine.

Btw my prefab list has been tested with dark and day theme unlike last time.

 

 

Thinking of switching back.

 

Should I?

You made a status update about switching to the night theme. I was talking about how you'd hate how formatting looks when people copy+paste and don't fix formatting

Ahhhh

[Rexper]

Possibly add the Seasonic Eco 430w? It's using the Seasonic ST platform. Here's a review of a unit with the same platform (XFX TS 430w). Here's one directly of the ECO 430w.

Thanks!

XFX XT should be tier 3 or 2

Except that it's made with low quality components.

Oh, come on. @STRMfrmXMN- we had a whole thread's worth of converesation about this! Remember the photos of the Hydrance/XT PSU with the unnamed capacitors, tiny rectifier, dangerously bad soldering, and massive dollops of fevicol everywhere?

 

 

Chart form thread- http://www.orionpsudb.com/news/the-mystery-of-xfx-budget-xt-line-solved-oem-and-platform-discovered

 

Hydrance and XT are the same, dangerous power supplies.

 

 

How does the sales page indicate it should be tier 2 or 3?

I know i shouldn't believe anything but what do this about this :

The XFX XT Series power supplies are 80-Plus Bronze certified PSU that combines great performance, innovative design, and the high quality required by hardcore gamers and DIY enthusiasts. Advanced EasyRail technology allows you to run power-hungry components, such as a CPU and GPU, without worrying about individual rail limits. T Enjoy first-class reliability and stability with 105°C Japanese capacitors.

That says nothing about how it actually performs. All that tells you is that it is 80+ bronze (which is meaningless in terms of quality) and that it uses at least two Japanese capacitors somewhere (also meaningless).
