Posted August 26, 2017 My config is Intel g4560, zotac gtx1050ti, msi b250 pro vdh,8gbx1 corsair ddr4 ram, 2 hdd and a dwd rw drive. So my old psu(corsair vs450) is giving me random restarts and i need a new psu and these two 1.Seasonic S12II 430 2.Antec vp550p are the only options i got (budget and delivery issues) or the vp450p which is cheaper than both but im guessing it will be same as a corsair vs450 so not considering it. I know that seasonic S12II series psu as listed as tier3 and are better than tier 5 antec vp but my concern is that is it enough to power my system without any issues and also the model year listed on amazon is 2009, is it ok to buy such an old model? Please advise me on this and Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 26, 2017 S12II would be better, 430W is plenty for your built. A corsair CXM would be worth pushing for if you can though.

Thats fine, the design is a little aged, I can see the 550W for only about 600 rupee more (Is fine though if budget is that tight).

It's basically a cxm450 without modularity right? And if it's enough for my current system then i will buy it i need no headroom for upgrades since there will not be any upgrades to this anytime soon. Thanks for taking time and finding it and for your valuable replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Antec VP550P appears to be fairly okay, but is a low end platform. But a Corsair CX450 or CX450M will be miles better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it is good too. 9 minutes ago, ZM Fong said: Better than S12II because of newer circuit design but uses slightly worse caps (still good enough, at least better than C'r'apxon) Screw the caps, caps Jap caps don't mean a lot. S12II is group regulated, which is what makes it not an amazing choice. The problem with group regulated PSUs, is that all of the rail's voltages are adjusted when load a not balanced load is pushed on the PSU. DC-DC is 12V stepped down to 5V and 3.3V, so there is little variation in the voltages when one voltage rail is stressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 26, 2017 1 hour ago, Harveyy said: also what do you think about seasonic S12II 430 being a 2009 model? That it's too old for a modern computer and should be avoided if at all possible. The Circuit Design is ancient, if you see a picture of the insides you 'feel' the cheapness of the PSU. It has really tiny heatsinks. And to make things worse, it has a really bad protection IC it seems -> look up HY-510N. So no, it is NOT a good PSU and should NOT be recomended if at all avoidable. There are just way better options on the market... And pls don't argue with "Japanese" Caps. Does it really matter in THIS unit?! You want that if everything else is OK and you have some money left. But NOT with an ancient, group regulated design. Because you don't want a group regulated design (=regulates +12V _AND_ +5V together) these days. 38 minutes ago, ZM Fong said: Better than S12II because of newer circuit design but uses slightly worse caps (still good enough, at least better than C'r'apxon) Caps are overrated. They don't even get hot these days. And they probably got better in the past years. And what good do Japanese capacitors do, if everything else is in the toilet before they fail? Or the normal failure mode has nothing to do with caps?? The japanese caps in my Super Flower Golden Green thingy didn't help. It's dead, no +5VSB no more. Why care so much about caps? Because some people say so?! And because in old PSU they got cooked, they have to in modern PSU too? Even if the efficiency rose another 5-10 points??
