Oh thank you so much i thought it had 80+ bronze also the site im buying from listed it as smartpower. 

 

 

Now can someone let me know why higher  wattage TT smart psus are at T4 while lower ones are  T6?

They are actually T3

 

The reason why is because the 750/850w versions are based off of a different platform, they are the same as the Corsair CXM-Series (Grey label) bt non modular. I'm actually surprised they aren't T2 since they are basically CXM's with non-modular cabling and a better fan.

tier 7 is garbage, 6 is for low-end office rigs, 4-5 are still okay for low-end/power gaming rigs

Shouldnt that be listed at the head of each grouping?

[LienusLateTips]

Anyways:

 

AVAILABILITY NEWS!

 

US, CA, DE and NL is done.

 

IN is currently pending.

 

I'll do AU later, and we do have some areas open.

 

 

 

NZ, UK, IT, ES and maybe anything else people want to do.

TT Smart series, specifically the differences between the higher wattages (750w/850w) and lower wattages.

[Herman Mcpootis]

noticed the leadex 2 hasn't been listed yet.

looks like an obvious T1 unit.

I'm building a medium grade casual gaming pc for about 1000$. Someone suggest a tier 3 PSU. Do any of you know if it's good enough? He suggest the Corsair CXM 550W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply. Thanks in advance.

who needs 80+ when you got RGB? it even has a 5-year warranty! what a deal! 

i'll wait for a review before i judge it imo.

I'd really only get their cooling stuff.

Yeah, I've had zero experience with any of their stuff. Nothing they have has really impressed me enough to make me want to buy any of their products. 

 

Some of their cases are decent value though. Like the Versa H15.

their View 27 had me quite interested, until i saw the cooler height limitation  their new RGB power supplies don't look so bad though.

Problem is, even for a budget build I wouldn't go lower than a bronze unit. 

 

And if you're building a system that needs 700w that means you're probably putting some hefty hardware in it and thus, should use a much better unit, IMO. Just makes me scratch my head. lol.

meh, 80+ rating don't mean jack when it comes to how good the rest of the unit is, so if an 80+ white can prove itself to be better than another 80+ bronze or so I'd still take it.
